Small area geographic variation in girl and boy child marriage in India
Background: Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target 5.3 aims to 'eliminate all harmful practices, such as child, early, and forced marriage'. India is a signatory to the SDGs and tracks this indicator to measure national progress. Geographic inequity in the change in the district-level prevalence of child marriage over time in India has not been previously explored. Methods: We used data from the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) in India fr…
Undesired Births, Contraception, and Abortion Before and After the Cairo Consensus
The Programme of Action adopted after the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD), and later the Beijing Declaration, affirmed commitments to the human right to decide on the number and spacing of one's children and have the information and means to do so. In this study, we estimate trends related to this component of reproductive agency—undesired births per thousand women who want to avoid pregnancy, the conditional undesir…
Un]met Need and [Un]wanted Family Planning
Unwanted family planning often refers to fertility desires as a proxy for contraceptive desire and lacks alignment with the tenets of person‐centered care. We construct a person‐centered measure of unwanted family planning by asking women whether they wanted to use a method, examine its alignment with the fertility‐derived measure, and describe the characteristics of women with unwanted family planning and reasons women state for not wanting to u…
Jordanian and Syrian adolescents’ perspectives on where, what and how to seek sexual and reproductive health information
This descriptive qualitative study explored Jordanian and Syrian adolescents' understandings of available sexual and reproductive health (SRH) information sources and identified their perceived barriers to accessing these sources. The sample consisted of 179 adolescent participants aged 15-19 who were enrolled from community centres in the four main cities of northern and central Jordan. Same-sex trained facilitators guided focus groups to genera…
Development of gender identity during adolescence
The current study applied a life-course approach with 64 Jordanian and Syrian adolescents (15–19 years old) to understand when and how sociocultural norms are internalized and shaped the gender identity of adolescents passing from childhood to adulthood. The study participants reflected on important life events that shaped their sexual and gender identity in in-depth interviews using visual timelines. Data were analysed using narrative qualitativ…
Measuring maternal improvement through multi-stakeholder engagement
Background: The information provided to participants of adaptive platform trials assessing therapies for COVID-19 inpatients is unknown. We aim to evaluate it by reviewing participant information sheets/informed consent forms (PIS/ICFs). Methods: We searched the Cochrane COVID-19 Study Register and ClinicalTrials.gov (28 March 2022) to identify non-industry-sponsored adaptive platform phase 2+ trials with publicly available protocols and PIS/ICFs…
Measuring maternal improvement through multi-stakeholder engagement
Background: To bolster country efforts towards meeting the targets and strategies laid out in WHO's report "Strategies toward ending preventable maternal mortality" (EPMM), a series of seven consultations, known as National Dialogues, were conducted to better understand national priority areas for the improvement of maternal health and to support the adoption and use of EPMM indicators at the national level. The last Dialogue was conducted in Mar…
Exploring the intersection between country context and priority setting to prevent maternal mortality
Background: The obstetric transition model suggests that, as countries economically develop, the primary causes of maternal mortality change. Countries are assigned to one of five stages based on their maternal mortality ratio to identify priorities for reducing maternal deaths based on predominant determinants of mortality at each stage. We aim to validate the obstetric transition model using data from six diverse low- and middle-income countrie…
Understanding effective approaches to addressing the common challenges faced by global health networks
Background: Past case studies on global initiatives to address maternal health and survival have focused on global health networks, identifying four essential tasks that define their ability to successfully enact change. We applied the conceptual framework of global health networks at the country level to organisations sharing concerns on how to address national maternal health and the upstream determinants of maternal survival in five countries …
Parents’ perspectives towards sexual and reproductive health and rights education among adolescents in Jordan
Young people require good quality information about their sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) while transitioning to adulthood and parents have a key role in providing it. This study intended explored Jordanian and Syrian parents’ perspectives on initiating discussions about SRHR with their children. A convenience sample of Jordanian and Syrian parents of young people aged 15–19 years old was recruited from local community centres in…
Girl child marriage and the social context of displacement
Our findings represent a more robust understanding of how norms operate within the social ecological system, and how they are reinforced across social relationships, offering an opportunity to more effectively challenge norms that sustain the practice of girl child marriage
The prioritization and development of key social and structural indicators to address gaps in a framework for monitoring the Strategies toward Ending Preventable Maternal Mortality (EPMM)
BACKGROUND: Since 2014, iterative technical work has captured stakeholder demand and channeled it toward improving maternal health measurement, to support SDG 3.1. Strategies toward Ending Preventable Maternal Mortality (EPMM) (2015) turned a broad lens on upstream systemic determinants of maternal health and survival highlighted in 11 Key Themes. A monitoring framework was developed to help countries track progress across these domains. This pro…
Recommendations for refining key maternal health policy and finance indicators to strengthen a framework for monitoring the Strategies toward Ending Preventable Maternal Mortality (EPMM)
Associations of single versus multiple anthropometric failure with mortality in children under 5 years
This study provides new insight to programs and policy to better identify children most at risk of malnutrition-related mortality
How Jordanian and Syrian youth conceptualise their sexual and reproductive health needs
Young people in Jordan are caught between the rapid social change that has encompassed the Middle East and the pressure to adhere to the strict norms and values that have defined previous generations, especially with regard to sexual and reproductive health. This study seeks to understand how Jordanian and Syrian adolescents conceptualise their concerns, needs and challenges with respect to their developing sexuality and reproductive health, whil…

A social-ecological examination into the research, policy and health service delivery environment related to early marriage and sexual and gender-based violence among youth in Jordan
BACKGROUND: The determinants of sexual- and gender-based violence (SGBV) and early marriage are embedded across different levels of the social ecological system, including at the individual, family, community, and policy levels. In Jordan and the Middle East, SGBV, honor killing, and early marriage are priority public health and human rights issues that often overlap, and affect a significant percentage of youth. Jordan is home to a large number …
Health in conflict and post-conflict settings
In Colombia, maternal and child health indicators have improved since the conflict, however a pattern of inequality is observed in the municipalities most affected by the armed conflict
Stunting trajectories from post‐infancy to adolescence in Ethiopia, India, Peru, and Vietnam
Many interventions focus on preventing stunting in the first 1,000 days of life. We take a broader perspective on childhood growth to assess the proportions of children who suffer persistent stunting, recover, and falter and become newly stunted between birth and adolescence. We use longitudinal data collected on 7,128 children in Ethiopia, India, Peru, and Vietnam. Data were collected in five survey waves between the ages of 1 to 15 years. We us…
Clustered risk
Youth as Navigators
Background: The determinants of adolescent sexual and reproductive health originate in childhood and may stem from prepubescent experiences. There has been limited research on adolescent sexual and reproductive health from a life-course perspective globally, especially in the Middle East. Youth in Jordan are exposed to rigid social expectations and gender roles, which may influence sexual and reproductive health outcomes. The ongoing conflict in …
