  • Understanding clients’ and providers’ perspectives on the implementation of subcutaneous depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA-SC) for self-injection programming in Nigeria

    Open AccessSneha Challa, Madeline Griffith et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2026

    Subcutaneous depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA-SC) is an injectable contraceptive method with a small needle and prefilled syringe system that has been approved for self-injection (SI) by clients. As DMPA-SC for SI programmes are being scaled, employing an implementation science lens is critical to understanding what works. This study explored providers’ and clients’ experiences with providing and receiving services, respectively, for DMPA-…

  • Pharmacy-based non-communicable diseases screening has high potential for reach

    Open AccessCalvin Chiu, Melsa Omaya et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    Low and middle-income countries are entering an epidemiological transition where non-communicable diseases (NCDs) increasingly contribute to disease burden. While Rwanda has one of the most robust public health systems in sub-Saharan Africa, rapid urbanization is leading to an emerging middle-class population who are at high risk for NCDs, but who also underutilize preventive care. The Goodlife Access pilot program in Rwanda screened over 9,000 i…

Analyses showed that learners who used the program scored higher on the overall test, includ…

  • Mortality among 5 to 19-year-olds in rural Mali

    Open AccessJenny X Liu, Yacouba Samake et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    The unique healthcare needs of 5 to 9-year-olds and adolescents (10 – 19 years) in low- and middle-income countries have been largely neglected. We generated estimates of 5 to 9-year-old and adolescent mortality in rural Mali, a setting with high under-five mortality, and aimed to define associated individual and household risk factors. We analysed cross-sectional baseline household survey data from the ProCCM trial (NCT02694055) conducted in Ban…

  • Evaluation of the SKILLZ intervention to promote HIV testing and contraception uptake in adolescent girls in Lusaka, Zambia

    Open AccessCalvin Chiu, Chama Mulubwa et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Adolescent girls are at disproportionately high-risk for HIV and unintended pregnancy. Effective interventions to increase uptake of HIV testing and contraceptives are urgently needed. Our cluster-randomized controlled trial in 46 schools in Lusaka, Zambia evaluated the SKILLZ intervention: (a) 12 after-school sessions of sexuality and sexual and reproductive health (SRH) education culminating in a community “graduation” soccer event where a pop-…

  • Cost-effectiveness analysis of proactive home visits compared with site-based community health worker care on antenatal care outcomes in Mali

    Open AccessOsondu Ogbuoji, Minahil Shahid et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2024

    INTRODUCTION: Despite recommendations from the WHO, antenatal care (ANC) coverage remains low in many low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). Community health workers (CHWs) can play an important role in expanding ANC coverage through pregnancy identification, provision of health education, screening for complications, delivery of therapeutic care and referral to higher levels of care. However, despite the success of CHW programmes in var…

  • Community case management to accelerate access to healthcare in Mali

    Open AccessCaroline Whidden, Amadou Cissé et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2024

    The Proactive Community Case Management (ProCCM) trial in Mali reinforced the health system across both arms with user fee removal, professional community health workers (CHWs) and upgraded primary health centres (PHCs)—and randomized village-clusters to receive proactive home visits by CHWs (intervention) or fixed site-based services by passive CHWs (control). Across both arms, sick children’s 24-hour treatment and pregnant women’s four or more …

  • Women's Perspectives on the Unique Benefits and Challenges of Self‐Injectable Contraception

    Open AccessEmily Himes, Lauren Suchman et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning2024Referencias: 25

    Implementing self‐injection (SI) of subcutaneous depot‐medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA‐SC) is a key self‐care strategy for sexual and reproductive health, but SI uptake remains low, and assertions about the potential of SI to increase women's control over contraceptive use lack evidence. We sought to qualitatively explore how women with diverse contraceptive experiences—including those with and without experience using SI—view the benefits and …

  • Effect of community health worker home visits on antenatal care and institutional delivery

    Open AccessKassoum Kayentao, Rakesh Ghosh et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2023

    INTRODUCTION: Though community health workers (CHWs) have improved access to antenatal care (ANC) and institutional delivery in different settings, it is unclear what package and delivery strategy maximises impact. METHODS: This study reports a secondary aim of the Proactive Community Case Management cluster randomised trial, conducted between December 2016 and April 2020 in Mali. It evaluated whether proactive home visits can improve ANC access …

  • Effects of proactive vs fixed community health care delivery on child health and access to care

    Open AccessCaroline Whidden, Kassoum Kayentao et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2023

    Background: Professional community health workers (CHWs) can help achieve universal health coverage, although evidence gaps remain on how to optimise CHW service delivery. We conducted an unblinded, parallel, cluster randomised trial in rural Mali to determine whether proactive CHW delivery reduced mortality and improved access to health care among children under five years, compared to passive delivery. Here we report the secondary access endpoi…

  • Preference‐Aligned Fertility Management as a Person‐Centered Alternative to Contraceptive Use‐Focused Measures

    Open AccessKelsey Holt, Christine Galavotti et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning2023Citada por: 17Referencias: 22

    Equating contraceptive use with programmatic success is fundamentally flawed in failing to account for whether individuals desire contraceptive use; this is problematic because nonuse can reflect empowered decision‐making and use may reflect an individual's inability to refuse or discontinue a method. A rights‐based approach demands respect for individuals’ freedom to weigh options and choose how their desire for pregnancy prevention can be accom…
