However, significant data gaps continue to compromise country ability to implement gender‐responsive policies and monitor gender equality. This study explores the potential role of administrative systems in filling critical gender data gaps. It notes the substantial challenges to sourcing gender data from administrative systems—challenges related to limitations of adm…
Saving lives through certifying deaths
This study demonstrates how the two interventions introduced by the Ministry of Health in Perú improved the correctness of death certificates.

These include: capacity building; a regional knowledge exchange hub; innovations (monitoring childhood obesity and food …
Strengthening health information systems for disability-related rehabilitation in LMICs
The purpose of this study was to describe the state of rehabilitation health information systems (HIS) in different settings, and identify key processes and actions which contribute to the development of HIS which can effectively support low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) allocate resources to health-related rehabilitation to people with disabilities.

What Difference does it Make? Women's Pop Cultural Production and Consumption in Manchester
This paper explores the experiences of women in small cultural businesses and is based upon interviews with women working in a range of contexts in Manchester's popular music sector.

We argue that it is necessary that experiences of production and consumption be understood as inter-related processes. Each part of this process is imbued with …
Acceptability of the cytopipette in screening for cervical cancer
A randomized controlled trial was carried out in which the acceptability of screening for cervical carcinoma in situ by a postal 'do-it-yourself' method--the cytopipette--was compared with that of an invitation to attend a clinic or see a general practitioner for the conventional cervical scrape examination. In parallel with this, a sociological study of women who had been invited by both methods was undertaken in which information was obtained f…
