    Behavioral Insights Into Micronutrient Powder Use for Childhood Anemia in Arequipa, Peru
    Jessica D. Brewer, Julianna Shinnick, Karina Román, Maria P. Santos, Valerie A. Paz-Soldan and Alison M. Buttenheim
    Global Health: Science and Practice December 2020, 8(4):721-731; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00078

    Health care provider-caregiver interactions and caregivers’ shifting emotional states between intention formation and use affected their adherence to a government-provided micronutrient powder intervention to prevent childhood anemia. In counseling directed to caregivers, we suggest providers offer clear messaging on MNP impact and planning for challenges during MNP use.

    Implementation of a Pediatric Early Warning Score to Improve Communication and Nursing Empowerment in a Rural District Hospital in Rwanda
    Shela Sridhar, Alexis Schmid, Francois Biziyaremye, Samantha Hodge, Ngamika Patient and Kim Wilson
    Global Health: Science and Practice December 2020, 8(4):838-845; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00075

    Implementation of the Pediatric Early Warning Score for Resource-Limited Settings tool improved nurses’ competency and confidence in their triage capabilities. This tool has the potential to improve patient outcomes. However, staff turnover and limited physician buy-in were barriers to sustainability of the tool in low-resource settings.

    The All Babies Count Initiative: Impact of a Health System Improvement Approach on Neonatal Care and Outcomes in Rwanda
    Hema Magge, Evrard Nahimana, Jean Claude Mugunga, Fulgence Nkikabahizi, Elisabeth Tadiri, Felix Sayinzoga, Anatole Manzi, Merab Nyishime, Francois Biziyaremye, Hari Iyer, Bethany Hedt-Gauthier and Lisa R. Hirschhorn
    Global Health: Science and Practice September 2020, 8(3):000; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00031

    A health system improvement program combining facility readiness support, clinical training/mentoring, and improvement collaboratives increased quality improvement capacity, improved maternal and newborn quality of care, and reduced neonatal mortality. These results can be used to inform system improvement approach design to transform quality of care and outcomes for newborns.

    Anne Pfitzer, Eva Lathrop, Alison Bodenheimer, Saumya RamaRao, Megan Christofield, Patricia MacDonald, Bethany Arnold, Neeta Bhatnagar, Erin Mielke and Meridith Mikulich
    Global Health: Science and Practice September 2020, 8(3):335-343; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00263

    Devoting scarce health resources to meet the family planning needs of pregnant, postabortion, and postpartum women during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic is an investment against higher health systems burdens during subsequent waves of the pandemic and a means to save lives and improve livelihoods.

    A Qualitative Exploration of Community Ownership of a Maternity Waiting Home Model in Rural Zambia
    Constance P. Fontanet, Rachel M. Fong, Jeanette L. Kaiser, Misheck Bwalya, Thandiwe Ngoma, Taryn Vian, Godfrey Biemba and Nancy A. Scott
    Global Health: Science and Practice September 2020, 8(3):344-357; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00136

    Community-based maternal child health programs should foster a sense of community ownership to promote sustainability. In rural Zambia, health interventions should be accessible to target communities and clear roles should be established among stakeholders for effective governance.

    Peter Smittenaar, B.M. Ramesh, Mokshada Jain, James Blanchard, Hannah Kemp, Elisabeth Engl, Shajy Isac, John Anthony, Ravi Prakash, Vikas Gothalwal, Vasanthakumar Namasivayam, Pankaj Kumar and Sema K. Sgaier
    Global Health: Science and Practice September 2020, 8(3):358-371; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00027

    We identified how the quantity and quality of actions taken by community health workers can be refined to move from a one-size-fits-all model to a precision approach that stands to benefit the health of the mothers and newborns they support.

    Impact of Improved Biomass and Liquid Petroleum Gas Stoves on Birth Outcomes in Rural Nepal: Results of 2 Randomized Trials
    Joanne Katz, James M. Tielsch, Subarna K. Khatry, Laxman Shrestha, Patrick Breysse, Scott L. Zeger, Naoko Kozuki, William Checkley, Steven C. LeClerq and Luke C. Mullany
    Global Health: Science and Practice September 2020, 8(3):372-382; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00011

    Improved biomass stoves may not reduce indoor air pollution as much as is needed to have an impact on adverse birth outcomes.

    Are We Using the Right Approach to Change Newborn Care Practices in the Community? Qualitative Evidence From Ethiopia and Northern Nigeria
    Zelee Hill, Pauline Scheelbeek, Yashua Hamza, Yared Amare and Joanna Schellenberg
    Global Health: Science and Practice September 2020, 8(3):383-395; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-19-00410

    In Ethiopia, high community-level exposure to consistent messages and the perceptions of community health workers and relationships with them drove newborn care behavior change. In Nigeria, exposure to messages was limited, community health workers were less trusted, and behavior change was reported less frequently.

    Integrating Calcium Into Antenatal Iron-Folic Acid Supplementation in Ethiopia: Women’s Experiences, Perceptions of Acceptability, and Strategies to Support Calcium Supplement Adherence
    Gina C. Klemm, Zewdie Birhanu, Stephanie E. Ortolano, Yohannes Kebede, Stephanie L. Martin, Girma Mamo and Katherine L. Dickin
    Global Health: Science and Practice September 2020, 8(3):413-430; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00008

    In household trials of improved practices, rural Ethiopian women were motivated to adhere to antenatal calcium supplementation regimens, and tailored home-based strategies helped them overcome barriers such as regimen complexity, forgetfulness, side effects, and discouragement from others.

    Where Do Caregivers Take Their Sick Children for Care? An Analysis of Care Seeking and Equity in 24 USAID Priority Countries
    Sarah E.K. Bradley, Lauren Rosapep and Tess Shiras
    Global Health: Science and Practice September 2020, 8(3):518-533; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-20-00115

    Understanding whether and where parents take sick children for care is critical to improve child health and survival. Stakeholders should use this information to ensure that resources are programmed effectively and that sectors complement one another to increase equitable access to high quality integrated management approaches for sick child care.
