Translating international guidelines for use in routine maternal and neonatal healthcare quality measurement
BACKGROUND: Improving facility-based quality for maternal and neonatal care is the key to reducing morbidity and mortality rates in low- and middle-income countries. Recent guidance from WHO and others has produced a large number of indicators to choose from to track quality. OBJECTIVE: To explore how to translate complex global maternal and neonatal health standards into actionable application at the facility level. METHODS: We applied a two-ste…
I Knew I Could Make a Difference”
The 2014 West African Ebola outbreak was unprecedented in scale and required significant international assistance. Many U.S.-based health professionals traveled to West Africa to participate in the response, whereas others considered participation, but ultimately decided against it. This study explores motivators, facilitators, and barriers to international health care worker mobilization. We conducted 24 semistructured in-depth interviews and on…
Evaluating Quality of Contraceptive Counseling
The Method Information Index (MII) is calculated from contraceptive users’ responses to questions regarding counseling content—whether they were informed about methods other than the one they received, told about method‐specific side effects, and advised what to do if they experienced side effects. The MII is increasingly reported in national surveys and used to track program performance, but little is known about its properties. Using additional…
Validation of maternal reports for low birthweight and preterm birth indicators in rural Nepal
BACKGROUND: Tracking progress towards global newborn health targets depends largely on maternal reported data collected through large, nationally representative surveys. We evaluated the validity, across a range of recall period lengths (1 to 24 months post-delivery), of maternal report of birthweight, birth size and length of pregnancy. METHODS: We compared maternal reports to reference standards of birthweights measured within 72 hours of deliv…
Why some mothers overestimate birth size and length of pregnancy in rural Nepal
BACKGROUND: Quantitative validation studies alone may not be able to distinguish between instances when participants did not accurately report an event vs when participants did not understand a question. We used an explanatory qualitative study design to acquire an in-depth understanding of why some mothers in rural Nepal overestimate birth size of their newborn and their length of pregnancy. METHODS: We conducted two focus group discussions (FGD…
