  • A Type II hybrid effectiveness-implementation study of an integrated CHW intervention to address maternal healthcare in rural Nepal

    Open AccessAparna Tiwari, Aradhana Thapa et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Skilled care during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum is essential to prevent adverse maternal health outcomes, yet utilization of care remains low in many resource-limited countries, including Nepal. Community health workers (CHWs) can mitigate health system challenges and geographical barriers to achieving universal health coverage. Gaps remain, however, in understanding whether evidence-based interventions delivered by CHWs, closely aligne…

  • Cross-cultural adaptation of motivational interviewing for use in rural Nepal

    Open AccessPragya Rimal, Sonu Khadka et al.ARTICLEBMC Psychology2021

    MI carries several cultural assumptions, particularly around individual freedom and autonomy. MI adaptation thus faces challenges in cultures where such assumptions may not hold. However, cross-cultural adaptation with key informant perspectives can lead to creative strategies that recognize both the patient's autonomy and their role as a member of a complex social fabric to facilitate behavior change

  • Partnerships in mental healthcare service delivery in low-resource settings

    Open AccessBibhav Acharya, Duncan Maru et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2017

    BACKGROUND: Mental illnesses are the largest contributors to the global burden of non-communicable diseases. However, there is extremely limited access to high quality, culturally-sensitive, and contextually-appropriate mental healthcare services. This situation persists despite the availability of interventions with proven efficacy to improve patient outcomes. A partnerships network is necessary for successful program adaptation and implementati…

  • Power, potential, and pitfalls in global health academic partnerships

    Open AccessDavid Citrin, Stephen Mehanni et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2017

    BACKGROUND: Global health academic partnerships are centered around a core tension: they often mirror or reproduce the very cross-national inequities they seek to alleviate. On the one hand, they risk worsening power dynamics that perpetuate health disparities; on the other, they form an essential response to the need for healthcare resources to reach marginalized populations across the globe. OBJECTIVES: This study characterizes the broader land…

  • Crossing the quality chasm in resource-limited settings

    Open AccessDuncan Maru, Jason R Andrews et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2012

    Over the last decade, extensive scientific and policy innovations have begun to reduce the "quality chasm"--the gulf between best practices and actual implementation that exists in resource-rich medical settings. While limited data exist, this chasm is likely to be equally acute and deadly in resource-limited areas. While health systems have begun to be scaled up in impoverished areas, scale-up is just the foundation necessary to deliver effectiv…

  • Turning a blind eye

    Open AccessDuncan Maru, Duncan SMITH-ROHRBERG Maru et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2010

    While primary care, obstetrical, and surgical services have started to expand in the world's poorest regions, there is only sparse literature on the essential support systems that are required to make these operations function. Diagnostic imaging is critical to effective rural healthcare delivery, yet it has been severely neglected by the academic, public, and private sectors. Currently, a large portion of the world's population lacks access to a…
