Multimodal pulse oximeters to support the integrated management of childhood illnesses: A usability and diagnostic accuracy assessment from a multi-country hybrid type 2 study
Nearly 5 million children die each year of preventable causes, with pneumonia being a key contributor. The Integrated Management of Childhood Illnesses guidelines improve health care workers’ diagnostic and management capabilities by relying mostly on clinical signs. Though there have been successes, challenges in the consistent application of IMCI and the accurate diagnosis of conditions like hypoxemia remain. Next generation pulse oximeters add…
Developing a framework for monitoring the stages towards achieving effective coverage and equity for maternal, newborn, child health and nutrition interventions
Reaching the Sustainable Development Goal 2030 global mortality and morbidity targets will require increased access to essential health services. Scaling high-impact health interventions within the public sector is complex; delineation of the pathway to scale for each intervention within each distinct geography is important for prioritising actions to advance interventions towards effective coverage. Following a review of 38 theoretical framework…
Effect of multi-micronutrient-fortified rice on cognitive performance depends on premix composition and cognitive function tested: Results of an effectiveness study in Cambodian schoolchildren
Objective Even though current policy is strongly focused on the crucial first ‘1000 days’, it might be still possible to enhance cognitive function during the pre-adolescent and adolescent years by improving micronutrient status. In Cambodia, nutritional status is poor. Provision of rice fortified with micronutrients through a school meal programme (SMP) could be a cost-effective strategy to help improve health and school performance. The present…
Patterns of cultural consensus and intracultural diversity in Ghanaian complementary feeding practices
Designing effective interventions to improve infant and young child (IYC) feeding requires knowledge about determinants of current practices, including cultural factors. Current approaches to obtaining and using research on culture tend to assume cultural homogeneity within a population. The purpose of this study was to examine the extent of cultural consensus (homogeneity) in communities where interventions to improve IYC feeding practices are n…
Using cognitive mapping to understand Senegalese infant and young child feeding decisions
Caregivers make decisions about how to feed their infants and young children based on complex interactions of knowledge, beliefs, and values, as well as assessments of situational determinants, including economic and social constraints and opportunities. Because of the relationship of these factors to the adoption of new feeding behaviours, the development of nutrition interventions for this age group must be grounded in knowledge about the targe…
The health of HIV‐exposed children after early weaning
There are potential health risks associated with the use of early weaning to prevent mother-to-child transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in resource-poor settings. Our objective was to examine growth and nutrient inadequacies among a cohort of children weaned early. Children participating in the Breastfeeding Antiretrovirals and Nutrition (BAN) Study in Lilongwe, Malawi, had HIV-infected mothers, were weaned at 6 months and fed LNS…
