It’s time to talk
In societies with strong patrilineal traditions, such as in northern Nigeria, husbands play the primary role in many household decisions, including for the reproductive health of their wives and the health of other family members. While previous research has shown that couples who engage in health-related discussions are more likely to utilize health services, these discussions may be inhibited in northern Nigeria by entrenched gender norms and r…
The Rabbit Drive
Between the 1880s and 1930s millions of rabbits were slaughtered across the American West in mass spectacles of pest control called rabbit drives. Drives sought to respond to the threat posed by rapidly growing rabbit populations at this time, emerging from changing ecosystems induced by colonization and the industrialization of agriculture in the West. Rabbits were driven into corrals and then beaten to death by men and boys while hundreds if no…
Psychosocial influences on pregnancy and childbirth behaviours in north-western Nigeria
Antenatal care (ANC) and facility delivery are essential maternal health services, but uptake remains low in north-western Nigeria. This study aimed to assess the psychosocial influences on pregnancy and childbirth behaviours in Nigeria. Data were from a cross-sectional population-based survey of randomly sampled women with a child under 2 years conducted in Kebbi, Sokoto and Zamfara states of north-western Nigeria in September 2019. Women were a…
Socioeconomic inequality in exclusive breastfeeding behavior and ideation factors for social behavioral change in three north-western Nigerian states
Socioeconomic inequalities exist in exclusive breastfeeding behaviors and in associated ideation factors in the three states but are mostly avoidable. A 10.7% redistribution from wealthier to the poorer half of the population will achieve elimination. Messaging for SBC communication interventions to improve breastfeeding practices could be more effective by targeting the mitigation of these inequalities
Understanding family planning outcomes in northwestern Nigeria
SBC programs interested in improving family planning outcomes could potentially achieve large gains in contraceptive use-even without large-scale changes in socio-economic and health services factors-by designing and implementing effective SBC interventions that improve knowledge, encourage spousal/partner communication, and work towards increasing personal approval of family planning. Uncertainty about the time-order of influencers and outcomes …
Evaluation of a multimedia youth anti-smoking and girls’ empowerment campaign
The study demonstrates the effectiveness of a multimedia campaign to increase perceived support, empowerment and improve decision-making among adolescent girls in a developing country
Empowering youth for social change through the Shujaaz multimedia platform in Kenya
The Shujaaz media seek to improve the lives of Kenyan youth by norming and stimulating positive health behaviours, and incentivizing income generation activities. This study evaluates the impact of Shujaaz using data collected over a 2-year period from a cohort of 700 youth aged 15–24 years. Multivariate correlated random-effects regression models were used to estimate the impact of exposure to analogue (comic and radio) and digital Shujaaz media…
Behavior change communication and mobile populations
This study investigates the effect of being exposed to the Soul City Southern Africa Regional OneLove campaign, a behavior change communication program, on sexual behavior and condom use among a mobile population in Swaziland. Data for this study come from a nationally representative sample of 845 individuals who reported traveling to neighboring countries for at least two weeks at any time in the previous two years. Respondents were asked about …
Prevalence and correlates of physical, psychological, and sexual intimate partner violence in Bolivia
Despite increasing awareness that domestic violence is a major public health problem, existing studies focus on physical and sexual violence and give little attention to psychological violence. This study uses data from the 2008 Bolivia Demographic and Health Surveys (BDHS) to examine the prevalence and correlates of physical, sexual, and psychological intimate partner violence in Bolivia. The results show that psychological intimate partner viol…

The Effects of Hurricane Katrina on Food Access Disparities in New Orleans
Disparities in neighborhood food access are well documented, but little research exists on how shocks influence such disparities. We examined neighborhood food access in New Orleans at 3 time points: before Hurricane Katrina (2004–2005), in 2007, and in 2009. We combined existing directories with on-the-ground verification and geographic information system mapping to assess supermarket counts in the entire city. Existing disparities for African A…
Overcoming Methodological Challenges in Evaluating Health Communication Campaigns
In this study, we examine the effectiveness of the Smiling Sun multimedia health communication campaign in encouraging women to use family health services in rural Bangladesh. We control for endogenous program placement and address the potential endogeneity of self‐reported campaign exposure in health‐behavior equations by estimating a set of exposure, contraceptive‐use, and antenatal‐care equations by full information maximum likelihood (FIML). …
Evaluating the impact of community-based interventions on schooling outcomes among orphans and vulnerable children in Lusaka, Zambia
In sub-Saharan Africa, an estimated 12 million children under the age of 18 have lost a parent to acquired immune deficiency syndrome. Despite this situation, the evidence regarding effectiveness of interventions targeting these children remains scant. This article contributes to the literature by evaluating the impact of a community-based program implemented by a Zambian non-governmental organization on educational outcomes among orphans and vul…
Geographic aspects of poverty and health in Tanzania
Previous studies have consistently found an inverse relationship between household-level poverty and health status. However, what is not well understood is whether and how the average economic status at the community level plays a role in the poverty-health relationship. The purpose of this study is to investigate the concentration of poverty at the community level in Tanzania and its association with the availability and quality of primary healt…
Advanced Methods for Evaluating the Impact of Family Planning Communication Programs
Evaluations of national family planning communication campaigns are often complicated by nonrandomized research designs and self-reported measures of exposure to media messages, both of which can bias estimates of campaign effectiveness if suitable analytical methods are not employed. This study uses three methods to address these problems: (1) single-equation multiple regression analysis; (2) propensity score matching (PSM); and (3) maximum-like…

Decentralisation and government provision of public goods
While many developing countries have devolved health care responsibilities to local governments in recent years, no study has examined whether decentralisation actually leads to greater health sector allocative efficiency. This paper approaches this question by modeling local government budgeting decisions under decentralisation. The model leads to conclusions not all favourable to decentralisation and produces several testable hypotheses concern…
Health-care Facility Choice and the Phenomenon of Bypassing
Health policy-makers in developing countries are often disturbed and to a degree surprised by the phenomenon of the ill travelling past a free or subsidized local public clinic (or other public facility) to get to an alternative source of care at which they often pay a considerable amount for health care. That a person bypasses a facility is almost certainly indicative either of significant problems with the quality of care at the bypassed facili…

Christian Division
The subject of church union is just now being discussed as a primary problem of Christianity. But does the matter of organic unity really touch any profound interest of ordinary men? If church union is to be worth anything it must represent a vital passion, and not a nice balancing of subtle distinctions. As a matter of fact the great issue of today is the valuation of human life. Industrial and international problems really involve the question …

The Conservative Reaction in China
The fact that China is now passing through a far-reaching revolution in the realm of ideas and ideals, sharpens the antithesis between conservatives and progressives. This antithesis extends to the realm of missionary activity. The missionaries of the past generation, and their converts, were usually conservative. The Bible Union of China was formed to maintain the conservative position against a growing liberalism. The platform and activities of…
