Maternal perinatal mental health and associated factors during the first postpartum year from a longitudinal birth cohort study in Rahim Yar Khan, Pakistan
During the perinatal period, women in low- and middle-income countries experience high rates of common mental disorders (CMDs). We aimed to estimate CMD prevalence at 6 and 12 months postpartum in Rahim Yar Khan (RYK), Pakistan, and identify factors associated with postpartum mental health. We conducted secondary analysis of a longitudinal birth cohort study, which was nested within the control arm of a community-based, cluster-randomized trial t…
Point-of-care determination of the frequency of Rhesus(D)-negative blood types and the uptake of anti(D) immunoglobulin among Rh(D)-negative women in Dadu district, Sindh, Pakistan
Rhesus (Rh) disease remains a serious problem in low- and middle-income countries. Rh disease prevention requires early identification and prophylactic treatment of Rh(D)-negative women. We evaluated the feasibility of point-of-care identification of Rh(D)-negative women and timely administration of two doses of anti(D) immunoglobulin by lady health visitors in Dadu district, Sindh, Pakistan. Pregnant women were enrolled at two hospitals and foll…
Association of maternal, obstetric, fetal, and neonatal mortality outcomes with Lady Health Worker coverage from a cross-sectional survey of >10,000 households in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan
Pakistan has among the highest rates of maternal, perinatal, and neonatal mortality globally. Many of these deaths are potentially preventable with low-cost, scalable interventions delivered through community-based health worker programs to the most remote communities. We conducted a cross-sectional survey of 10,264 households during the baseline phase of a cluster randomized controlled trial (cRCT) in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan from June–August …
Ethical and cultural implications for conducting verbal autopsies in South and Southeast Asia
INTRODUCTION: Causes of deaths often go unrecorded in lower income countries, yet this information is critical. Verbal autopsy is a questionnaire interview with a family member or caregiver to elicit the symptoms and circumstances preceding a death and assign a probable cause. The social and cultural aspects of verbal autopsy have gotten less attention than the technical aspects and have not been widely explored in South and Southeast Asia settin…
Utilization of a novel mobile application, “HBB Prompt”, to reduce Helping Babies Breathe skills decay
Background Helping Babies Breathe (HBB) is a newborn resuscitation training program designed to reduce neonatal mortality in low- and middle-income countries. However, skills decay after initial training is a significant barrier to sustained impact. Objective To test whether a mobile app, HBB Prompt, developed with user-centred design, helps improve skills and knowledge retention after HBB training. Methods HBB Prompt was created during Phase 1 o…
Geographic clustering of travel-acquired infections in Ontario, Canada, 2008–2020
As the frequency of international travel increases, more individuals are at risk of travel-acquired infections (TAIs). In this ecological study of over 170,000 unique tests from Public Health Ontario’s laboratory, we reviewed all laboratory-reported cases of malaria, dengue, chikungunya, and enteric fever in Ontario, Canada between 2008–2020 to identify high-resolution geographical clusters for potential targeted pre-travel prevention. Smoothed s…
Area-based determinants of outreach vaccination for reaching vulnerable populations
The objective of this study is to gain a comparative understanding of spatial determinants for outreach and clinic vaccination, which is critical for operationalizing efforts and breaking down structural biases; particularly relevant in countries where resources are low, and sub-region variance is high. Leveraging a massive effort to digitize public system reporting by Lady and Community Health Workers (CHWs) with geo-located data on over 4 milli…
An integrated newborn care kit (iNCK) to save newborn lives and improve health outcomes in Gilgit Baltistan (GB), Pakistan

Delay in childhood vaccinations during the Covid-19 pandemic
Could Covid-19 Reverse the Modest Gains Made in Newborn Health in Ethiopia
Effect of an integrated neonatal care kit on cause-specific neonatal mortality in rural Pakistan
BACKGROUND: In 2018, Pakistan had the world's highest neonatal mortality rate. Within Pakistan, most neonatal deaths occur in rural areas where access to health facilities is limited, and robust vital registration systems are lacking. To improve newborn survival, there is a need to better understand the causes of neonatal death in high burden settings and engage caregivers in the promotion of newborn health. OBJECTIVE: To describe the causes of n…
Local public health response to vaccine-associated measles
The public health approach to contact tracing and exclusions for vaccine-associated measles in immunocompromised patients is unclear. The rarity of secondary cases provides further evidence that the risk to the general public is likely extremely low. Although the risk appears negligible, exclusion and administration of immune globulin may be considered for susceptible, immunocompromised contacts of cases of vaccine-associated measles in immunocom…
