Aid withdrawal
This study investigates the health impacts of transitioning from Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, on vaccination coverage, infant and under-5 mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) in low and middle-income countries between 2000 and 2021. As Gavi plays a critical role in supporting immunisation programmes for some of the world’s mo st vulnerable populations, understanding the consequences of funding withdrawal is vital for ensuring the …
The health impacts of political unrest in Bangladesh and steps forward
It had been less than three months at the time of writing since ex-Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s government was toppled in Bangladesh due to nationwide student-led protests stemming from a discrim
A Global Analysis of Within-Country Health Inequalities
Results of this study suggest that infant mortality and life expectancy are critical factors in shaping countries' health inequalities. Sustained improvements in countries with high infant mortality may have the potential to further reduce inequality at a global scale. In the US, comparatively slow progress on health inequality underscores its salience in national health policy discussions
Calcimimetic Prescriptions in Fee-for-Service Medicare Beneficiaries Undergoing Dialysis
The results of this longitudinal cohort study showed that after transitioning calcimimetic coverage from Part D to Part B via TDAPA, calcimimetic prescriptions increased in a graded manner, with the largest increases experienced by patients previously subject to the highest out-of-pocket prescription drug costs. Medicare's TDAPA policy has the potential to expand access to medications for patients

The effects of armed conflict on the health of women and children
Health outcomes and cost-effectiveness of treating depression in people with HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa
High prevalence of depression among people living with HIV (PLHIV) impedes antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence and viral suppression. We estimate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of strategies to treat depression among PLHIV in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). We developed a microsimulation model of HIV disease and care in Uganda which captured individuals' depression status and the relationship between depression and HIV behaviors. We consid…
Women, children and adolescents in conflict countries
Introduction: Conflict adversely impacts health and health systems, yet its effect on health inequalities, particularly for women and children, has not been systematically studied. We examined wealth, education and urban/rural residence inequalities for child mortality and essential reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health interventions between conflict and non-conflict low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). Methods: We carried o…
Dust pollution from the Sahara and African infant mortality
Impact of Health Aid Investments on Public Opinion of the United States
Objectives. To assess whether increasing health aid investments affected public opinion of the United States in recipient populations. Methods. We linked health aid data from the United States to nationally representative opinion poll surveys from 45 countries conducted between 2002 and 2016. We exploited the abrupt and substantial increase in health aid when the US President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and President’s Malaria Initi…
Armed conflict and child mortality in Africa
Systematic Motorcycle Management and Health Care Delivery
Objectives. We investigated whether managed transportation improves outreach-based health service delivery to rural village populations. Methods. We examined systematic transportation management in a small-cluster interrupted time series field trial. In 8 districts in Southern Zambia, we followed health workers at 116 health facilities from September 2011 to March 2014. The primary outcome was the average number of outreach trips per health worke…
Mortality changes after grants from the Global Fund to Fight Aids, tuberculosis and malaria
Grants from the Global Fund are closely related to accelerated reductions in all-cause adult mortality and malaria-specific under-five mortality. However, up to 2010 the Global Fund has not measurably contributed to reducing all-cause under-five mortality
Health system determinants of infant, child and maternal mortality
OBJECTIVE: Few studies have examined the link between health system strength and important public health outcomes across nations. We examined the association between health system indicators and mortality rates. METHODS: We used mixed effects linear regression models to investigate the strength of association between outcome and explanatory variables, while accounting for geographic clustering of countries. We modelled infant mortality rate (IMR)…
The relationship between HIV testing, stigma, and health service usage
We explore whether HIV stigma is associated with seeking to conceal testing interest. We examine 86,899 outpatient visits in a 1993-1997 national survey and compare HIV testing to four non-stigmatized tests: spirometry, allergy testing, mammography, and colonoscopy. We explore whether people testing for HIV, compared to people receiving control services, listed reasons for visit (RFV) less related to the test performed, listed their interest in t…
Hospital Workload and Adverse Events
CONTEXT: Hospitals are under pressure to increase revenue and lower costs, and at the same time, they face dramatic variation in clinical demand. OBJECTIVE: : We sought to determine the relationship between peak hospital workload and rates of adverse events (AEs). METHODS: A random sample of 24,676 adult patients discharged from the medical/surgical services at 4 US hospitals (2 urban and 2 suburban teaching hospitals) from October 2000 to Septem…
