A realist evaluation of the development, implementation and outcomes of the first public ART Centre in Morocco
In Morocco, access to assisted reproductive technology (ART) in public hospitals has been limited, and many couples cannot afford private sector services. In this context, a public ART centre was established in 2013 at the Maternity and Reproductive Health Hospital in Rabat. This study aimed to evaluate this first public ART centre to understand how the intervention worked, for whom, and under what circumstances, and to inform replication in Moro…
Experiences and actions taken by women to address delayed conception in Delhi, India
One in six people experiences infertility in their lifetime globally, including India. Understanding experiences and actions taken by people with delayed conception requires developing person-centred fertility care interventions. We applied the theory of planned behaviour to explore the experiences and actions of women in couples that failed to conceive in low to lower middle-income neighbourhoods of Delhi, India. This was a qualitative study amo…
Successful strategies that address gender-related barriers and promote bodily autonomy within efforts to scale up and sustain postpregnancy contraception
INTRODUCTION: Acknowledging the integral role of bodily autonomy in advancing gender equality, our study aimed to assess the extent to which strategies used in postpartum and postabortion contraception have effectively equipped women, girls and gender-diverse individuals with the tools, knowledge and resources required to make autonomous decisions that align with their diverse life experiences. METHODS: We conducted a scoping review using the dat…
Fulfilment of fertility desires for the attainment of Global Sustainable Development Goals
Aligning health worker education and learning approaches with population health needs
Scoping review on the use of South-South learning exchange to scale up evidence-based practices in family planning
BACKGROUND: South-South learning exchange (SSLE) is an interactive learning process where teams from low-income and middle-income countries exchange knowledge and experience to support one or both team's work towards a change in policies, programmes or practices. SSLE has been used by countries to improve family planning (FP) outcomes such as increased contraceptive prevalence rate and reduced unmet need for FP, but at present, there are no revie…
The impact of community and provider-driven social accountability interventions on contraceptive use
The CaPSAI Project has been registered at Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ACTRN12619000378123, 11/03/2019)
Improving access to quality family planning services in Nepal and Sri Lanka
Nepal and Sri Lanka ministries of health shared best practices and learnings, in a South-South learning exchange (SSLE) to improve access to quality and rights-based family planning services. The SSLE between the two countries followed a five-step methodology designed by the WHO, under the Family Planning Accelerator project. SSLE between the two countries started in January 2020 and is still continuing. Both countries started implementation of t…

Provider attitudes towards a brief behavioral intervention for sexual health in Moldova
While providers reported high levels of initial acceptance of a brief behavioral intervention, care is needed to ensure that brief interventions, and the training of providers on brief interventions, incorporate cultural attitudes and norms around sex, particularly in highly patriarchal settings, and provide opportunities for providers to practice the intervention in ways that address their assumptions and implicit biases
Estimating the government public economic benefits attributed to investing in assisted reproductive technology
Limited resources and high treatment costs are arguments often used in many public health systems in low- and middle-income countries to justify providing limited treatments for people with infertility. In this analysis, we apply a government public economic perspective to evaluate public subsidy for in-vitro fertilization (IVF) in South Africa. A fiscal model was developed that considered lifetime direct and indirect taxes paid and government tr…
Global Estimates of the Prevalence and Incidence of Four Curable Sexually Transmitted Infections in 2012 Based on Systematic Review and Global Reporting
Socio-economic determinants of disease progression among HIV infected adults in Kenya
Populations with low household incomes should be considered vulnerable to disease progression and should therefore be prioritized during the scale up of HAART for treatment as prevention
Delayed initiation of antiretroviral therapy among HIV-discordant couples in Kenya
Timely initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) is particularly important for HIV-discordant couples because viral suppression greatly reduces the risk of transmission to the uninfected partner. To identify issues and concerns related to ART initiation among HIV-discordant couples, we recruited a subset of discordant couples participating in a longitudinal study in Nairobi to participate in in-depth interviews and focus group discussions about …
High Rates of Relationship Dissolution Among Heterosexual HIV-Serodiscordant Couples in Kenya
Antiretroviral Prophylaxis for HIV Prevention in Heterosexual Men and Women
BACKGROUND: Antiretroviral preexposure prophylaxis is a promising approach for preventing human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection in heterosexual populations. METHODS: We conducted a randomized trial of oral antiretroviral therapy for use as preexposure prophylaxis among HIV-1-serodiscordant heterosexual couples from Kenya and Uganda. The HIV-1-seronegative partner in each couple was randomly assigned to one of three study regimens-…
Heterosexual HIV-1 transmission after initiation of antiretroviral therapy
How late is too late? Timeliness to scheduled visits as an antiretroviral therapy adherence measure in Nairobi, Kenya and Lusaka, Zambia
Collecting self-reported data on adherence to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) can be complicated by patients' reluctance to report poor adherence. The timeliness with which patients attend visits might be a useful alternative to estimate medication adherence. Among Kenyan and Zambian women receiving twice daily HAART, we examined the relationship between self-reported pill taking and timeliness attending scheduled visits. We analyzed…
Predicting Pregnancy in HIV-1-Discordant Couples
Condom Use Among Sexually Active Kenyan Female Adolescents at Risk for HIV-1 Infection
Antenatal Couple Counseling Increases Uptake of Interventions to Prevent HIV-1 Transmission
To determine effect of partner involvement and couple counseling on uptake of interventions to prevent HIV-1 transmission, women attending a Nairobi antenatal clinic were encouraged to return with partners for voluntary HIV-1 counseling and testing (VCT) and offered individual or couple posttest counseling. Nevirapine was provided to HIV-1-seropositive women and condoms distributed to all participants. Among 2104 women accepting testing, 308 (15%…
