Costs of testing sick children in primary care with pulse oximetry
Introducing pulse oximeters (PO) at primary care facilities can help health workers identify severely ill children who need referral to hospital thereby allowing for improved child clinical outcomes. Adding clinical decision support algorithms (CDSA) can improve adherence to Integrated Management of Childhood Illness guidelines. The current study analyses the costs of introducing PO either with or without an electronic CDSA using an RCT in India …
The cost-effectiveness of a cash-based transfer, specialised nutritious food, and social and behaviour change communication intervention package to prevent undernutrition among children 6–23 months in…
Background: There is mixed evidence on the cost-effectiveness of cash transfers, along with food supplements and behaviour change communication interventions in improving child nutrition outcomes. To add to existing literature, we examined the cost-effectiveness of medium-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplement (LNS) and social and behaviour change communication (SBCC) messaging, separately and combined, compared to an existing unconditional cas…
Linkages between women’s empowerment, religion, marriage type, and uptake of antenatal care visits in 13 West African countries
Characteristics which reflect a particular context and unique to individuals, households, and societies have been suggested to have an impact on the association between women’s empowerment and women’s well-being indicators. However, there is limited empirical evidence of this effect. We used access to antenatal care (ANC) to examine the main and interaction effects of women’s empowerment, religion, marriage type, and uptake of services in 13 West…
Qualitative exploration of the dynamics of women’s dietary diversity. How much does economic empowerment matter
Objective: This study qualitatively examined dietary diversity among married women of reproductive age who engaged in two socio-economic activities to explore the dynamics of food availability, access, costs and consumption. Design: Qualitative in-depth interviews. The food groups in the Minimum Dietary Diversity for women were used to explore women’s dietary diversity. IDI were used to develop a roster of daily food consumption over a week. We e…
Trends in out of pocket payments and catastrophic health expenditure in the Kyrgyz Republic post “Manas Taalimi” and “Den Sooluk” health reforms, 2012–2018
The initial gains in the reduction of OOPPs and catastrophic health expenditure appear to gradually erode since costs continue to increase after an initial decline and catastrophic health expenditure continues to rise unabated. This implies that households are increasingly incurring economic hardship from seeking healthcare. Considering that this could result to forgone expenditure on essential items including food and education, efforts should t…
Women's empowerment and child nutrition in South-Central Asia; how important is socioeconomic status
Women's empowerment has been identified as an important strategy for improving children's nutrition outcomes in many settings. Empowerment indexes that are built from cross-country routine surveys are increasingly being developed, and further disaggregated analyses of such indexes are needed to examine in-depth, the relationship between women's empowerment and outcomes including children's nutrition. The Demographic and Health Surveys across five…
