Effectiveness of a novel midwifery preceptor program on midwives’ competence and confidence in Sierra Leone
Sub-Saharan Africa faces some of the highest maternal mortality rates globally and the greatest shortage of midwives. Strengthening midwifery education and clinical training is one of the most impactful interventions to reduce maternal mortality. Global reports cite lack of investment in educators, limited skills and knowledge in contemporary teaching methods, and limited clinical experience for students as key barriers. To address these gaps, a …
Age- and sex-specific care cascades to detect gaps in the care of children with tuberculosis in Bangladesh
Background: Programmatic interventions to increase the detection of children with tuberculosis (TB) are rarely evaluated to understand age- and sex-specific completion rates. We applied modified TB screening and treatment cascade frameworks to assess indicators of effective implementation by age and sex of a TB screening program for children (zero to 14 years) in Bangladesh. Methods: tests. Results: In total, we screened 552 182 males and 461 419…
Tuberculosis treatment loss to follow-up in children exposed at home
Background: Loss to follow-up (LTFU) from tuberculosis (TB) treatment and care is a significant public health problem. It is important to understand what drives LTFU in children - a population whose treatment and management depend on an adult caregiver - to better provide support services to families affected by TB. Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study of household contacts in Lima, Peru (2009-12). Using multilevel logistic regression…
Community-Informed Health Promotion to Improve Health Behaviors in Honduras

The already high burden of disease is disproportionately worse among individuals with less education and limited access to health care. Community engagement is needed to bridge the gap in health care resources with the need for health promotion and education. Culturally relevant health promotion activities can foster transcultural partnerships. Purpose: The purpose of this stu…

Evaluating the effects of organizational and educational interventions on adherence to clinical practice guidelines in a low-resource primary-care setting in Kenya
BACKGROUND: Mid-level care providers serve as the backbone of primary care in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa. Despite this, research suggests that the quality and consistency of this care is uneven. This study assessed the degree to which a set of four simple, low-cost interventions could improve adherence to a set of clinical quality measures (CQMs) associated with four common health conditions seen in a resource-constrained primary care setti…
