Mortality among 5 to 19-year-olds in rural Mali
The unique healthcare needs of 5 to 9-year-olds and adolescents (10 – 19 years) in low- and middle-income countries have been largely neglected. We generated estimates of 5 to 9-year-old and adolescent mortality in rural Mali, a setting with high under-five mortality, and aimed to define associated individual and household risk factors. We analysed cross-sectional baseline household survey data from the ProCCM trial (NCT02694055) conducted in Ban…
Associations between extreme weather events and child undernutrition: Evidence from sub-Saharan Africa, 2010–2019
BACKGROUND: Extreme weather events, or natural disasters, present a large and increasing threat to human health, infrastructure and food security, including in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where the burden of undernutrition is high. However, research about associations between natural disasters and undernutrition in early childhood is limited. METHODS: We combined anthropometric data of children aged 0-59 months from 51 Demographic and Health Survey…
Cost-effectiveness analysis of proactive home visits compared with site-based community health worker care on antenatal care outcomes in Mali: A cluster-randomised trial
INTRODUCTION: Despite recommendations from the WHO, antenatal care (ANC) coverage remains low in many low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). Community health workers (CHWs) can play an important role in expanding ANC coverage through pregnancy identification, provision of health education, screening for complications, delivery of therapeutic care and referral to higher levels of care. However, despite the success of CHW programmes in var…
Qualified, skilled or trained delivery care provider: A conundrum of who, where and when

Children under 5 in polygynous households in sub-Saharan Africa, 2000 to 2020
BACKGROUNDCross-sectional analyses have identified polygyny as a prevalent family form across sub-Saharan Africa, though it has been declining over time in most countries.Yet how the prevalence of young children in polygynous households has changed over time concurrent to changes in other demographic indicators is not well understood.Trends in polygynous living arrangements and selection into these households may have consequences for related dis…
Community case management to accelerate access to healthcare in Mali: A realist process evaluation nested within a cluster randomized trial
The Proactive Community Case Management (ProCCM) trial in Mali reinforced the health system across both arms with user fee removal, professional community health workers (CHWs) and upgraded primary health centres (PHCs)—and randomized village-clusters to receive proactive home visits by CHWs (intervention) or fixed site-based services by passive CHWs (control). Across both arms, sick children’s 24-hour treatment and pregnant women’s four or more …
Effect of community health worker home visits on antenatal care and institutional delivery: An analysis of secondary outcomes from a cluster randomised trial in Mali
INTRODUCTION: Though community health workers (CHWs) have improved access to antenatal care (ANC) and institutional delivery in different settings, it is unclear what package and delivery strategy maximises impact. METHODS: This study reports a secondary aim of the Proactive Community Case Management cluster randomised trial, conducted between December 2016 and April 2020 in Mali. It evaluated whether proactive home visits can improve ANC access …
Effects of proactive vs fixed community health care delivery on child health and access to care: A cluster randomised trial secondary endpoint analysis
Background: Professional community health workers (CHWs) can help achieve universal health coverage, although evidence gaps remain on how to optimise CHW service delivery. We conducted an unblinded, parallel, cluster randomised trial in rural Mali to determine whether proactive CHW delivery reduced mortality and improved access to health care among children under five years, compared to passive delivery. Here we report the secondary access endpoi…

The list experiment: An approach to measuring stigmatized behaviours related to sex-selective abortion
Vietnam reports one of the highest levels of abortion globally and an increasingly skewed sex ratio at birth. Abortion and related stigmatized behaviours are notoriously difficult to measure, yet understanding women's ability and willingness to engage in sex selection is of interest to demographers and policymakers alike. We piloted the list experiment, an indirect questioning method, to estimate the prevalence of prenatal sex determination and s…
The Rise and Prominence of Skip-Generation Households in Lower- and Middle-Income Countries
Investigations into changes in household formations across lower- and middle-income countries (LMICs) rarely consider skip-generation households. Yet, demographic, social, and economic forces increasingly encourage skip-generation household formations. We examine trends and changes in the prevalence of skip-generation households from 1990 to 2016, examining households, adults aged 60+, and children under 15, across 49 countries using household ro…
Migration and investments in the health of children left behind: The role of remittances in children’s healthcare utilization in Cambodia
Remittances, financial support from family members who have migrated for work, are an increasingly important source of income for households left behind in many lower- and middle-income countries. While remittances have been shown to affect the health status of children left behind, evidence is very limited as to whether and how they affect children’s healthcare utilization. Yet, this is an important consideration for policymakers seeking to impr…
Referral patterns, delays, and equity in access to advanced paediatric emergency care in Vietnam
The poorest children, who were more likely to enter care at lower-level facilities, were especially disadvantaged. While delays in entry to care were not predictive of acuity, children referred to tertiary care from lower-level facilities experienced worse outcomes. Improvements in triage, stabilization, and referral linkages at all levels should reduce within-system delays, increasing timely access to advanced emergency care for all children
The List Experiment for Measuring Abortion: What We Know and What We Need
Measuring abortion incidence and prevalence is often difficult because of under‐reporting and other biases, complicated research designs, and other issues. Recently, family planning researchers have introduced a new method called the list experiment, adopted from political science and economics, to measure abortion. Three completed studies and at least four studies currently underway use this method to measure abortion in several countries. We di…
Gender disparities in child health care seeking in northern Vietnam
Vietnam recently demonstrated a skewed sex ratio at birth. Little research has examined postnatal impacts of son preference in Vietnam, such as in child health care seeking. Past research in other Asian countries with son preference has found that parents are more likely to take sons to a health facility when they are sick, to do so more promptly, and invest more resources in care, than daughters. Using data from a paediatric hospital emergency d…
