Financial inclusion and living standards
We investigate the impact of financial inclusion on twelve different sets of expenditure domains. We use Nepal Household Risk and Vulnerability Survey (NHRVS) collected by the World Bank to investigate the impact of financial inclusion on household living standards in Nepal. To circumvent the endogeneity problem, we introduce an instrument, the ‘VDC-level borrowing ratio’, motivated by network theory popular in migration studies. Financial inclus…
Evaluating sawdust-based bioethanol and pyrolysis products in the European Union
The significance of biomass-derived biofuels in global transport is increasing due to their perceived environmental advantages and policies with binding use targets. This study conducted a comprehensive sustainability analysis of sawdust-based bioethanol in the European Union, encompassing evaluations of sawdust availability, techno-economic assessment (TEA), and global warming potential (GWP), including land use and land-use-change-related GWP (…
Utilization of telehealth services in low- and middle-income countries amid the Covid-19 pandemic
BACKGROUND: During the current period of the pandemic, telehealth has been a boon to the healthcare system by providing quality healthcare services at a safe social distance. However, there has been slow progress in telehealth services in low- and middle-income countries with little to no evidence of the cost and effectiveness of such programmes. OBJECTIVE: To provide an overview of the expansion of telehealth in low- and middle-income countries …
Estimating Prevalence of Bereavement, Its Contribution to Risk for Binge Drinking, and Other High-Risk Health States in a State Population Survey, 2019 Georgia Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Surv…
While bingeing is a known risk to public health, its co-occurrence with recent bereavement is a new observation. Public health surveillance systems need to monitor this co-occurrence to protect both individual and societal health. In a time of global bereavement, documenting its influence on binge drinking can support the work towards Sustainable Development Goal #3-Good health and Well-Being

Using Influenza Vaccination Location Data from the 2018 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) to Expand Covid-19 Vaccination Coverage
Effective COVID-19 vaccine distribution requires prioritizing locations that are accessible to high-risk target populations. However, little is known about the vaccination location preferences of individuals with underlying chronic conditions. Using data from the 2018 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), we grouped 162,744 respondents into high-risk and low-risk groups for COVID-19 and analyzed the odds of previous influenza vaccin…
District division administrative disaggregation data framework for monitoring leaving no one behind in the National Health Insurance Fund of Sudan
The DDADD framework identified the inequitable distribution of health care services in low-density population districts leaves insured poor behind. Policymakers should restructure the equation of health insurance schemes based on equity and probability of illness, to distribute health care services according to needs and equity, and to remobilize resources towards districts left behind
Effects of the Affordable Care Act on the Receipt of Colonoscopies among the Insured Elderly
A statistically significant increase in colonoscopy use was observed in the post-ACA years. However, achieving the target coverage rate of 80% will require additional interventions to encourage higher levels of screenings
Impact of removing cost sharing under the affordable care act (ACA) on mammography and pap test use
Removal of cost-sharing under the ACA did not improve mammography or pap test rates. Therefore, financial barrier may not be an important factor in affecting utilization of the screening tests and policy makers should focus on other non-financial barriers in order to improve coverage of the tests

A Low-Cost Partner Notification Strategy for the Control of Sexually Transmitted Diseases
Objectives. We estimated the costs and effectiveness of implementing a partner notification (PN) strategy for highly prevalent sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) within the Louisiana STD/HIV Program. Methods. We carried out a telephone-based PN approach on an experimental basis in 2 public STD clinics in Louisiana from June 2010 to May 2012. We monitored data on the resources used for identifying, tracing, treating, and managing the infected ca…
Zero Waste Engineering

The effects of pay-for-performance on tuberculosis treatment in Taiwan
OBJECTIVES: In order to make tuberculosis (TB) treatment more effective and to lower the transmission rate of the disease, the Bureau of National Health Insurance (BNHI) in Taiwan implemented the 'Pay-for-Performance on Tuberculosis' programme (P4P on TB) in 2004. This study investigates the effectiveness of the P4P system in terms of cure rate and length of treatment. METHODS: This retrospective study obtained information on all TB cases in the …
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…
Relative efficiency of government and non-government organisations in implementing a nutrition intervention programme – a case study from Bangladesh
Objective: The Bangladesh Integrated Nutrition Programme (BINP) experimented with two models of delivery: the first model uses the Government of Bangladesh's (GOB) own management structure and the second uses the non-government organisations (NGOs) working in the local community. This study compares the relative efficiency of GOB and NGO management in the provision of nutrition services. Design: A detailed costing survey was carried out to estima…
A cost-minimization approach to planning the geographical distribution of health facilities
This paper illustrates a method of planning the geographic distribution of health facilities in order to maximize the social benefits achievable from the investment. Data from Bangladesh have been used to determine the optimal distribution of emergency obstetric care (EOC) facilities in the country using the estimates of average social cost per woman. Costs incurred by households, including the costs associated with maternal mortality, tend to in…
Factors affecting the performance of family planning workers
An intensive family planning intervention based on community health workers (CHWs) has been in place in the Matlab area of rural Bangladesh for over a decade. Despite the programme's relative success, considerable variations in the performances of CHWs remain a concern. The purpose of this paper is to explore the determinants of CHWs performances by introducing geographical factors in addition to the conventional socioeconomic and other related v…

Is madagascar becoming increasingly vulnerable to food crises
The physical need or status‐quo approaches have not provided the appropriate conceptual framework for guiding food aid policies. As a response to this, models based on household or individual behavior are being articulated to explain food vulnerability. However, due to the complexity of these models and their data requirements, they have yet to become operational for the determination of food needs. This paper proposes a simple alternative approa…

A note on persistence and polarisation
Increased opportunity of productive employment in the market due to the process of polarisation is unlikely to be an important reason for the stability of land ownership of the small holders in Bangladesh. It is argued that the stability is achieved by destabilising the ‘household’ itself. The relative stability of small owners is also due to the fact that in Bangladesh a larger proportion of them belong to the young household category than the h…
