Provision of a liquefied petroleum gas cookstove and fuel during pregnancy and infancy and linear growth trajectories between birth and 12 months
Exposure to particulate pollution from cooking with solid biomass fuels is associated with impaired child linear growth. We examined the effect of a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cookstove randomized controlled trial during pregnancy and infancy on linear growth trajectories among infants born to women enrolled during pregnancy. The Household Air Pollution Intervention Network (HAPIN) randomized controlled trial enrolled 3195 pregnant women (9 to…
Stakeholder mapping for a complex and diverse population
This paper's focus on creating a sampling universe of women leaders in RMNCAH-N and immunization in SSA fills a gap in current operational and implementation research. The insights derived from the adaptation and application of this methodology highlight the value of a structured approach to capturing the complexities of stakeholder and leadership dynamics in global health, particularly when applied to systematically map health topics or discipli…
Andes trial and integration of the HEARTS model in Puno, Peru
Background. HEARTS is the regional strategy led by the Pan American Health Organization to strengthen hypertension and diabetes control in primary health care. This report summarizes formative and process evidence from the ANDES trial in Puno, Peru, and its alignment with HEARTS implementation. Methods. We assessed 414 health facilities using an adapted World Health Organization Service Availability and Readiness Assessment (SARA-NCD), conducted …
The Costs and Benefits of Clean Cooking Policies in Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries Under Real‐World Conditions
Clean cooking technologies have the potential to deliver substantial health, environmental, climate, and gender equity benefits. We use the BAR‐HAP model to conduct the first global analysis of the regional and global costs and benefits of several subsidy and financing policies supporting household transitions to cleaner technologies. The analysis provides evidence‐based estimates of these interventions' impacts, while remaining conservative abou…
Health system barriers to hypertension care in Peru
Traditional patient- and provider-level hypertension interventions have proven insufficient to halt hypertension as the leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Systems-level interventions are required to address factors challenging hypertension control across a social ecological framework, an under-studied topic particularly salient in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) such as Peru. To inform such interventions, we sought to ide…
Health effects of liquid and gaseous fuels for household energy use
Exposure to household air pollution results in a substantial global health burden. The World Health Organization (WHO) Guidelines for Indoor Air Quality: Household Fuel Combustion stipulate emission rates for household energy devices should meet air quality guidelines and protect health. Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), biogas, natural gas (NG), and alcohol fuels are considered clean for health due to their low emissions at the point of use. In lig…
Developing Visual Messages to Support Liquefied Petroleum Gas Use in Intervention Homes in the Household Air Pollution Intervention Network (Hapin) Trial in Rural Guatemala
BACKGROUND: Household air pollution adversely affects human health and the environment, yet more than 40% of the world still depends on solid cooking fuels. The House Air Pollution Intervention Network (HAPIN) randomized controlled trial is assessing the health effects of a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) stove and 18-month supply of free fuel in 3,200 households in rural Guatemala, India, Peru, and Rwanda. AIMS: We conducted formative research in …
Fidelity and Adherence to a Liquefied Petroleum Gas Stove and Fuel Intervention during Gestation
The fidelity of the HAPIN intervention, as measured by stove installation, timely ongoing fuel deliveries, and behavioral reinforcement as needed, was high. Exclusive use of the intervention during pregnancy was also high

Social, Ecological, and Health Benefits of Clean Cooking
Perceptions of Improved Biomass and Liquefied Petroleum Gas Stoves in Puno, Peru
Many households in low- and middle-income countries cook with inefficient biomass-burning stoves, which cause high levels of household air pollution and threaten long-term health. Although clean stoves and fuels are available, uptake and consistent use has been low. Using observations and in-depth interviews, we assessed the attitudes, preferences, and beliefs about traditional versus liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) stoves in rural Puno, Peru. A to…
