Development of an effective illness severity measure and assessment of the impact of perceived illness severity on formal careseeking for fatal illnesses of neonates and infants in six sub-Saharan Afr…
Early careseeking for sick children can make the difference between life and death. Verbal autopsy (VA) studies of the cause of death typically ask about severe symptoms such as seizures and possibly mild or moderate symptoms such as rash, but without examining the relationship between caregivers’ perception of illness severity and appropriate careseeking. Verbal and social autopsy (VASA) is a newer method that builds on VA by also examining soci…
Know-do gaps in the clinical management of childhood illness
To improve quality of care, it is critical to understand why providers do not consistently follow clinical guidelines. Our findings suggest that adherence to protocols is low, but that knowledge is not the primary barrier. Interventions to improve quality must go beyond improving knowledge to also address other drivers of provider behavior such as motivation, workload, and systemic constraints
The maternal and newborn health eCohort to track longitudinal care quality
The MNH eCohort was developed to fill gaps in maternal and newborn health (MNH) care quality measurement. In this paper, we describe the survey development process, recruitment strategy, data collection procedures, survey content and plans for analysis of the data generated by the study. We also compare the survey content to that of existing multi-country tools on MNH care quality. The eCohort is a longitudinal mixed-mode (in-person and phone) su…
Health impact and cost-effectiveness of expanding routine immunization coverage in India through Intensified Mission Indradhanush
Many children do not receive a full schedule of childhood vaccines, yet there is limited evidence on the cost-effectiveness of strategies for improving vaccination coverage. Evidence is even scarcer on the cost-effectiveness of strategies for reaching ‘zero-dose children’, who have not received any routine vaccines. We evaluated the cost-effectiveness of periodic intensification of routine immunization (PIRI), a widely applied strategy for increa…
Health system utilization and perceived quality among adults in Lao PDR
The study presents data from the first nationally representative survey in Lao PDR to measure health system performance. The results indicate that, despite progress towards universal coverage of health insurance in Lao PDR, significant gaps remain, particularly with respect to bypassing of primary care facilities, significant unmet need for care, experiences of discrimination, and overall low perceptions of quality of care
Quality of care for postpartum hemorrhage
Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of maternal mortality in Kenya. The aim of this study was to measure quality and timeliness of care for PPH in a sample of deliveries in referral hospitals in Kenya. We conducted direct observations of 907 vaginal deliveries in three Kenyan hospitals from October 2018 through February 2019, observing the care women received from admission for labor and delivery through hospital discharge. We identi…
Health care provider decision-making and the quality of maternity care
Examining decentralization and managerial decision making for child immunization program performance in India
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
Health care seeking in modern urban LMIC settings
The results presented here strongly highlight the complexity of urban health systems. Most adult patients in Lusaka do not use public primary health facilities for non-emergency care, and heavily rely on pharmacies and drug shops for treatment of children. Major efforts will likely be needed if the government wants to instate health centers as the principal primary care access point in this setting
Impact of campaign-style delivery of routine vaccines
The world is not on track to achieve the goals for immunization coverage and equity described by the World Health Organization’s Global Vaccine Action Plan. Many countries struggle to increase coverage of routine vaccination, and there is little evidence about how to do so effectively. In India in 2016, only 62% of children had received a full course of basic vaccines. In response, in 2017–18 the government implemented Intensified Mission Indradh…
Quality of care for children with severe disease in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
These results suggest that adherence to IMCI protocols for severe disease remains remarkably low in the DRC. There is a critical need to identify and implement effective approaches for improving the quality of care for severely ill children in settings with high child mortality
