The perceived impacts of United States foreign development assistance reductions on health system building blocks at healthcare facilities in Zambia
The rapid reduction in foreign development assistance from the United States and other countries in 2025 has disrupted essential global health programming. Countries that previously received development assistance, such as Zambia, may experience weakening of health system capacity due to program cancellations. This study aimed to describe the perceived impacts of USAID program defunding on healthcare delivery in Zambia. We conducted a cross-secti…
Community health worker and caregiver experiences and perceptions of a multimodal handheld pulse oximeter used in sick child consultations in rural Burundi
Community Health Workers (CHWs) in low- and middle-income countries are essential in providing primary health care to remote communities. However, due to limited diagnostic tools, CHWs often struggle to correctly identify childhood illnesses, especially pneumonia. We conducted a prospective pilot study and used qualitative research methods to evaluate acceptability and feasibility of a multimodal pulse oximeter used by CHWs during their integrate…
Exposure–response relationship of household air pollution on body mass index among women in rural areas of Guatemala, India, Peru and Rwanda
Evidence suggests a significant association between CO exposure and increased odds of being overweight/obese, whereas impacts of PM 2.5 and BC on BMI had null or inverse effects
Barriers to appropriate complementary feeding and the use of ultra‐processed foods
Children's consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPF) is increasing in Ethiopia, but relatively little is known about the specific feeding practices that underlie this pattern. The objective of this study was to explore patterns of consumption of UPF by infants and young children within a broader context of inappropriate complementary feeding practices in extremely poor households in rural Oromia, Eastern Ethiopia. A formative qualitative study w…
Facing the Realities of Pragmatic Design Choices in Environmental Health Studies
Objective: Household Air Pollution Intervention Network (HAPIN) investigators tested a complex, non-pharmacological intervention in four low- and middle-income countries as a strategy to mitigate household air pollution and improve health outcomes across the lifespan. Intervention households received a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) stove, continuous fuel delivery and regular behavioral reinforcements for 18 months, whereas controls were asked to …
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
Protecting children in low-income and middle-income countries from Covid-19
A saving grace of the COVID-19 pandemic in high-income and upper middle-income countries has been the relative sparing of children. As the disease spreads across low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), long-standing system vulnerabilities may tragically manifest, and we worry that children will be increasingly impacted, both directly and indirectly. Drawing on our shared child pneumonia experience globally, we highlight these potential im…
