Adapting a nurse-led primary care initiative to cardiovascular disease control in Ghana
CHPS staff expressed multiple constraints to CVD care, but also cited actions to address them: CVD-focused training, provision of essential equipment and pharmaceuticals, community education campaigns, and referral and outreach transportation equipment. Results attest to the need for trial of these interventions to assess their impact on CVD risk factors such as hypertension, depression, and alcohol abuse
Does the provision of community health services offset the effects of poverty and low maternal educational attainment on childhood mortality? An analysis of the equity effect of the Navrongo experimen…
The Government of Ghana has instituted a National Poverty Reduction Program with an initiative known as the Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) as its core health development strategy. CHPS was derived from a plausibility trial of the Navrongo Health Research Centre testing four contrasting primary health care strategies: i) Training unpaid volunteers to promote health in communities, ii) placing nurses in communities with trainin…
Respondents’ Exposure to Community‐based Services and Reported Fertility‐Regulation Behavior
This article examines a decade of demographic surveillance data from rural northern Ghana linked with prospective panel survey data recording respondents’ reported fertility‐regulation behavior. We assess the impact of access to community‐based contraceptive services, reported fertility‐regulation behavior, and their interaction on the risk of a conception that results in a birth. The effects of service exposure differ by marital status. Reported…
Childhood Illness Prevalence and Health Seeking Behavior Patterns in Rural Tanzania
Our results suggest that child age, caregiver education attainment, and household wealth and location may be associated with childhood illness and care seeking behavior patterns. Interventions should be explored that target children and caregivers according to these factors, thereby better addressing barriers and optimizing health outcomes especially for children at risk of dying before the age of five
The Long‐Term Fertility Impact of the Navrongo Project in Northern Ghana
This study assesses the long‐term fertility impact of the Community Health and Family Planning Project of the Navrongo Health Research Centre in Ghana and addresses policy debates concerning the role of family planning programs in rural Africa. Conducted in a remote traditional area on Ghana's northern border, the study tests the hypothesis that convenient family planning service delivery can induce and sustain reproductive change in a societal c…
Inconsistent Reporting of Female Genital Cutting Status in Northern Ghana
Although many cross‐sectional social surveys have included questions about female genital cutting status and correlated personal characteristics, no longitudinal studies have been launched that permit investigation of response biases associated with such surveys. This study draws upon the findings of a longitudinal study of women aged 15 to 49 in rural northern Ghana. The self‐reported circumcision status of women interviewed in 1995 was compared…
The Impact of the Navrongo Project on Contraceptive Knowledge and Use, Reproductive Preferences, and Fertility
The Navrongo Community Health and Family Planning Project is a quasi‐experimental study designed to test the hypothesis that introducing health and family planning services in a traditional African societal setting will introduce reproductive change. This article presents the impact of the initial three years of project exposure on contraceptive knowledge, awareness of supply sources, reproductive preferences, contraceptive use, and fertility. Fi…
