Development & Evaluation of a Teaching Assistant Institute to Build Near-Peer Teaching Capacity in Delivering Inclusive Public Health Education
Factors influencing job preferences of health workers providing obstetric care
BACKGROUND: Task shifting from established health professionals to mid-level providers (MLPs) (professionals who undergo shorter training in specific procedures) is one key strategy for reducing maternal and neonatal deaths.

Little is known about the relative importance of the different factors in determining motivation and retention amongst …
Health service resilience in Yobe state, Nigeria in the context of the Boko Haram insurgency
A systems analysis using participatory group model building provided a mechanism to identify key pathways of threat and adaptation with regard to health service functioning. Generalizable systems characteristics supportive of resilience are suggested, and linked to wider discussion of the role of factors such as diversity, self-regulation and integration

We collected evaluation data starting when the first class of students entered the program and e…

As a result, there is a call for explicitly pro-poor health programming in efforts to reach the child health Millennium Development Goals. AIM: To estimate the contribution made by pro-poor health policy to reduction in wealth disparities in under-5 mortality. METHODS: An ecological, cross-sectional analysis was performed using Demog…
Women's Preferences for Place of Delivery in Rural Tanzania
Objectives. We fielded a population-based discrete choice experiment (DCE) in rural western Tanzania, where only one third of women deliver children in a health facility, to evaluate health-system factors that influence women's delivery decisions. Methods. Women were shown choice cards that described 2 hypothetical health centers by means of 6 attributes (distance, cost, type of provider, attitude of provider, drugs and equipment, free transport)…
