Service readiness for inpatient care of small and sick newborns
BACKGROUND: Each year an estimated 2.6 million newborns die, mainly from complications of prematurity, neonatal infections, and intrapartum events. Reducing these deaths requires high coverage of good quality care at birth, and inpatient care for small and sick newborns. In low- and middle-income countries, standardised measurement of the readiness of facilities to provide emergency obstetric care has improved tracking of readiness to provide car…

Conducting an audit to improve the facilitation of emergency maternal and newborn referral in northern Ghana
Ghana Health Service conducted an audit to strengthen the referral system for pregnant or recently pregnant women and newborns in northern Ghana. The audit took place in 16 facilities with two 3-month cycles of data collection in 2011. Midwife-led teams tracked 446 referred women until they received definitive treatment. Between the two audit cycles, teams identified and implemented interventions to address gaps in referral services. During this …
Canadian community mental health workers’ perceived priorities for supportive housing services in northern and rural contexts
A relationship between mental health and supportive housing has been established, yet there exist enduring challenges in meeting the supportive housing needs of people with severe mental health problems. Furthermore, not all stakeholder viewpoints of supportive housing services are well documented in the research literature, and research has tended to focus on supportive housing provision in large, urban centres. Potentially, distinct challenges …

Meeting the Needs of Adolescent Post-Abortion Care Patients in the Dominican Republic
Counselling on contraception and contraceptive method provision are key components of post-abortion care (PAC). Some studies have suggested that adolescent PAC patients receive worse care than older women seeking these services. This study aimed to evaluate an intervention whose goal was to improve the counselling and contraceptive uptake of PAC patients, with special attention given to the needs of adolescent patients, in the four public hospita…
Promoting accountability in obstetric care
Audits can improve clinical and managerial practices, enhance the rational use of limited resources, and improve staff morale and motivation. Staff at five hospitals in Thanh Hoa and Quang Tri provinces (Viet Nam) used criteria-based audit (CBA) as a tool to improve the quality of emergency obstetric and newborn care. CBA compares current practice with standards based on the best available evidence and the local context. The audit cycle begins wi…
The Influence of Method-Related Partner Violence on Covert Pill Use and Pill Discontinuation Among Women Living in La Paz, El Alto and Santa Cruz, Bolivia
Intimate partner violence is widespread worldwide. While assumed to impact women’s ability to use contraceptive methods, few data are available to support this claim. In this study, eight focus group discussions were conducted to guide questionnaire development and to provide contextual information. Participants were women who were currently using the pill and women who had used the pill previously. In addition, 300 women were interviewed who ini…
The Relationship Between Birth Predictedness and Violence During Pregnancy Among Women in La Paz and El Alto, Bolivia
Adolescents’ Decision-Making and Attitudes Towards Abortion in North-East Brazil
Three groups of adolescents are compared with regard to their own considerations of abortion and when they believe abortion is justified. One group of adolescents terminated their pregnancies ( n =95), a second became pregnant and carried their pregnancies to term but considered abortion ( n =68), and the third also carried their pregnancies to term but did not consider abortion ( n =204). The study was carried out between 1995 and 1998 in Fortal…
Culturally constructed relationships shape sexual and reproductive health in Bolivia

Quantitative and qualitative methods were used to examine knowledge, power and decision‐making in sexual relationships, and between health care providers and clients. Findings indicate that men and women hold …
Are Reproductive Health Services a Good Place to Screen for Intimate Partner Violence
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant public health problem and is associated with many adverse reproductive health outcomes. One intervention that has been used in the United States to address this issue is to train health care providers to screen women for IPV and refer them to services for support and counseling. For this intervention to be used in other countries, it must first be known if violence victims seek health care services…

Increasing Awareness of Danger Signs in Pregnancy Through Community- and Clinic-Based Education in Guatemala
Obstetric complications
Training TBAs may have had a positive effect on the rate, detection, and referral of postpartum complications. However, the evidence is less convincing for overall increases in the detection of complications, in referral to the formal health care system, and in the utilization of essential obstetric services among women attended by TBAs

Estimating infant mortality rates prospectively in Honduras
In order to determine the validity of infant mortality estimates based on retrospective reporting, the Honduran Ministry of Health carried out a follow-up survey of women interviewed in a 1987 national survey. Women were interviewed approximately 14 months after the baseline survey and were asked about the outcomes of their pregnancies and the survival status of their young children. The overall infant mortality rate calculated from the follow-up…
Impact of Social Marketing on Contraceptive Prevalence and Cost in Honduras
In 1984, the Honduran Family Planning Association launched a contraceptive social marketing program by introducing the oral contraceptive, Perla. This report examines the impact of the program on overall oral contraceptive use, use by particular subgroups, source of supply, and costs. Although use of oral contraceptives increased only slightly over the period 1984-87 (from 12.7 percent to 13.4 percent among women in union aged 15-44), the social …

An evaluation of a national breast-feeding promotion programme in Honduras
A significant increase occurred in the initiation and duration of breast-feeding among Honduran women between 1981 and 1987. Changes in population characteristics (e.g. level of education of women) would be expected to lead to a decrease in breast-feeding at each infant age, but these were offset by behavioural changes that led to an increase in the likelihood of initiation and continuation of breast-feeding. An exploration of relevant factors su…

A Study of infant mortality and causes of death in a rural north-east Brazilian community
In 1984 a prospective study of 1645 women and 1677 births in a rural community in north-eastern Brazil showed the infant mortality rate to be 65 per 1000 live births. Neonatal, post-neonatal and infant mortality are analysed to determine the most important risk factors for each period. Post-neonatal survival depends largely on factors relating to child care, while neonatal deaths are more likely to be associated with biological factors. The princ…
Consumers of Oral Contraceptives in a Social Marketing Program in Honduras
This paper presents data on the characteristics of oral contraceptive users in Honduras, obtained from a point-of-purchase survey conducted in pharmacies in 1986. The oral contraceptive Perla, provided by the Social Marketing Program, accounted for 42 percent of sales. Forty-five percent of those using Perla were considered "new" users; either they were purchasing contraceptives for the first time or had used only Perla. Almost half of those who …
TBAs in rural Northeast Brazil
This paper examines factors affecting hospital referral by traditional birth attendants (TBAs) and the impact of both TBA assistance and hospital intervention on birth outcome. In the county of Traini, Brazil, 139 of 1057 women seen by TBAs over the course of a year planned to deliver at home but were referred to a hospital. An additional 119 women gave birth at home without the assistance of a TBA. Adjusted odds ratios showed that referral rates…

Contraceptive Use and Fertility in Honduras, 1981-84
This paper presents data on contraceptive use and fertility in Honduras obtained from a household survey conducted in 1984, and compares these data with similar information obtained from surveys carried out in 1981 and 1983. About half of the increase that has taken place in contraceptive use in Honduras is accounted for by sterilization. In 1981, 27 percent of women in union aged 15-49 years were practicing contraception; in 1984, the percentage…
