Crises and complexity
The end of the COVID-19 global health emergency presents an opportunity to reflect on actions needed to enhance the effectiveness of responses to any future shocks. We highlight critical areas requiring attention from researchers and research commissioners to enhance the identification and adoption of ‘good value’ interventions, and we discuss the complexities of evidence-informed decision-making across multiple sectors, the evolving role of mode…
Conduct of Large, Multisite, Comparative Clinical Effectiveness Research Studies
Adults with advanced illnesses, as well as their caregivers, experience a high burden of physical and psychosocial symptoms. Individuals who receive palliative care services addressing these symptoms report improved quality of life as well as fewer hospitalizations and emergency department visits.1 However, access to palliative care services is often limited to inpatient hospitals and hospice settings, and many patients and their caregivers repor…
The stated preferences of community-based volunteers for roles in the prevention of violence against women and girls in Ghana
Violence against women and girls (VAWG) is a human rights violation with substantial health-related consequences. Interventions to prevent VAWG, often implemented at the community level by volunteers, have been proven effective and cost-effective. One such intervention is the Rural Response System in Ghana, a volunteer-run program which hires community based action teams (COMBATs) to sensitise the community about VAWG and to provide counselling s…
The curious case of Patnibrata men
In the 1930s, Trilok Singh Vaid, a celebrated Sikh and Punjabi writer and Ayurvedic practitioner wrote a series of books on conjugal health and ideal masculinity in which he articulated a conjugal-domestic masculinity, which he termed Patnibrata: men who will love their wives, respect their wives' consent, and form a happy dyadic unit with them. In this paper, I argue that (a) transnational sexology and women's movement in India necessitated this…
Linking health worker motivation with their stated job preferences
Sustaining a Nonviolent Self
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869-1948) articulated and practised a unique ideology of ahimsa, nonviolence, in his life. Most importantly, ahimsa included refusing the needs and pleasures of the body - sex, food, care, and desire. For Gandhi, embodiment was an intrinsically violent condition, but he ultimately did live in his body. In this paper, I argue that while he perfected a nonviolent selfhood for himself, he relied on the physical and emoti…
Stated job preferences of three health worker cadres in Ethiopia
Attracting, training and retaining high-quality health workers are critical for a health system to function well, and it is important to know what health workers value in their roles. Many studies eliciting the labour market preferences of health workers have interviewed doctors or medical students, and there has been little research on the job preferences of lower-skilled cadres such as community health workers, mid-skilled clinical care staff s…
Menstruation in India
This paper seeks to investigate contemporary menstrual taboos in India, which have been prevalent despite significant medical interventions in reproductive and sexual health. Written against the backdrop of my two years of work as an activist in the ‘Happy to Bleed’ campaign, I draw on my experiences of working in a field that is still largely stigmatized in present day India due to its complex relationship with sexuality
The Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS)
Little is known about access, sources, and trust of cancer-related information, or factors that facilitate or hinder communication on a population-wide basis. Through a careful developmental process involving extensive input from many individuals and organizations, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) developed the Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS) to help fill this gap. This nationally representative telephone survey of 6,369 pers…
Improving Parameter Estimates and Model Prediction by Aggregate Customization in Choice Experiments
We propose aggregate customization as an approach to improve individual estimates using a hierarchical Bayes choice model. Our approach involves the use of prior estimates to build a common design customized for the average respondent. We conduct two simulation studies to investigate conditions that are most conducive to aggregate customization. The simulations are validated by a field study showing that aggregate customization results in better …
