Job satisfaction, mental health, and workplace well-being of community health workers
Community health workers (CHWs) are increasingly recognized as essential to the public health workforce, yet little is known about CHWs’ workplace well-being. We examined CHWs’ job satisfaction, mental health, and workplace experiences. We conducted a cross-sectional online survey of CHWs across the state of New Jersey. Job satisfaction was measured using an adapted version of the Multi-Dimensional Motivation Scale for Community Health Workers wi…
Racial and ethnic disparities in access to community-based perinatal mental health programs
This study provides new evidence on racial and ethnic disparities in access to community-based perinatal mental health programs. Efforts to build the resources and capacities of community-based programs to identify equity gaps, increase diversity of staff, and address barriers to participation is critical to reducing racial and ethnic inequities in perinatal mental health
Neighborhood-level housing affordability and maternal depression
Housing affordability is a growing public health crisis, with lower-income families disproportionately affected. At the individual-level, measures of housing affordability have been linked to maternal mental health, but less is known about how neighborhood-level characteristics influence wellbeing in the perinatal period. Using data from the Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study, which follows a national cohort of children born between 199…
A Qualitative Investigation of the Experiences of Women with Perinatal Depression and Anxiety during the Covid-19 Pandemic
The Relationship Between Social Determinants of Health and Racial Disparities in Covid-19 Mortality
Levels of depression, anxiety, and psychological distress among Ugandan adults during the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic
There is an urgent need to address the significant burden of psychological distress associated with COVID-19 and policy responses in LMICs. Pandemic mitigation strategies must consider mental health consequences
Maternal depression and economic well-being
Maternal depression is associated with adverse impacts on the health of women and their children. However, further evidence is needed on the extent to which maternal depression influences women's economic well-being and how unmeasured confounders affect estimates of this relationship. In this study, we aimed to measure the association between maternal depression and economic outcomes (income, employment, and material hardship) over a 15-year time…
Impact of family law reform on adolescent reproductive health in Ethiopia
The Impact of India’s Janani Suraksha Yojana Conditional Cash Transfer Programme
In 2005 the government of India established Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY), a conditional cash transfer programme to increase deliveries in health facilities. We re-examine an influential study published in 2010 on the effect of JSY on reproductive health coverage indicators and perinatal and neonatal mortality. We find the original authors’ results to be replicable and robust to various changes in model specifications and analysis. Through the use…
Inference With Difference-in-Differences With a Small Number of Groups
BACKGROUND: Difference-in-differences (DID) estimation has become increasingly popular as an approach to evaluate the effect of a group-level policy on individual-level outcomes. Several statistical methodologies have been proposed to correct for the within-group correlation of model errors resulting from the clustering of data. Little is known about how well these corrections perform with the often small number of groups observed in health resea…
Assessing the reach and effectiveness of mHealth
ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02031575 . Registered 07 Jan 2014
Impact of a Text-Messaging Program on Adolescent Reproductive Health
Objectives. To evaluate whether text-messaging programs can improve reproductive health among adolescent girls in low- and middle-income countries. Methods. We conducted a cluster–randomized controlled trial among 756 female students aged 14 to 24 years in Accra, Ghana, in 2014. We randomized 38 schools to unidirectional intervention (n = 12), interactive intervention (n = 12), and control (n = 14). The unidirectional intervention sent participan…
Impact of Migration on Fertility and Abortion
Over the last few decades, total fertility rates, child morbidity, and child mortality rates have declined in most parts of sub-Saharan Africa. Among the most striking trends observed are the rapid rate of urbanization and the often remarkably large gaps in fertility between rural and urban areas. Although a large literature has highlighted the importance of migration and urbanization within countries’ demographic transitions, relatively little i…
