Empowerment as an Outcome and a Process
Measurement of reproductive empowerment (RE) is necessary to understand and address barriers to RE and to evaluate the impact of policies and practices that increase RE as a pathway to improving reproductive health. This study validated an existing RE scale, developed in 2016 for sub‐Saharan African (SSA) contexts, using longitudinal survey data from a cohort of women in Plateau State, Nigeria. Psychometric properties were assessed through confir…
Intimate partner violence and parent’s use of violent discipline against young children in Rwanda
Factors associated with Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy and uptake among populations in the West department of Haiti

Purpose: There is a Black maternal health crisis in America, with significant racial disparities in birth outcomes for Black women in Washington, DC. Programs designed to reduce these inequities must intentionally address the role of systemic racism and the ongoing legacy of oppression that is endemic to traditional perinatal care services. This article describes the findings from the quantitative analysis of an innovative perinatal program (Moth…
Addressing social norms for adolescent timing and spacing of pregnancy in low and middle-income countries
Background: Social norms shape adolescent sexual and reproductive health behaviours contributing to contraceptive and pregnancy outcomes. No global research agendas exist to guide research on adolescent social norms shifting in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We developed a social norms research agenda to improve adolescent healthy timing and spacing of pregnancy in LMICs. Methods: We adapted and applied the Child Health and Nutrition R…

Access to integrated community case management of childhood illnesses services in rural Ethiopia
BACKGROUND: In 2010, Ethiopia began scaling up the integrated community case management (iCCM) of childhood illness strategy throughout the country allowing health extension workers (HEWs) to treat children in rural health posts. After 2 years of iCCM scale up, utilization of HEWs remains low. Little is known about factors related to the use of health services in this setting. This research aimed to elicit perceptions and experiences of caregiver…
