    Open AccessLu Gram, Joanna Morrison et al.ARTICLEJournal of Human Development2017Citada por: 11Referencias: 80

    Despite the rising popularity of indicators of women's empowerment in global development programmes, little work has been done on the validity of existing measures of such a complex concept. We present a mixed methods validation of the use of the Relative Autonomy Index for measuring Amartya Sen's notion of agency freedom in rural Nepal.

  • Stillbirths

    Open AccessJoy Elizabeth Lawn, Hannah Blencowe et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2016

  • National, regional, and worldwide estimates of stillbirth rates in 2015, with trends from 2000

    Open AccessHannah Blencowe, Simon Cousen et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet Global Health2016

    BACKGROUND: Previous estimates have highlighted a large global burden of stillbirths, with an absence of reliable data from regions where most stillbirths occur. The Every Newborn Action Plan (ENAP) targets national stillbirth rates (SBRs) of 12 or fewer stillbirths per 1000 births by 2030. We estimate SBRs and numbers for 195 countries, including trends from 2000 to 2015. METHODS: We collated SBR data meeting prespecified inclusion criteria from…

    It is feasible to develop and implement a community mobilisation intervention where women's groups work together with local FCHVs to prevent injuries in children.
