  • Local and foreign authorship of maternal health interventional research in low- and middle-income countries

    Open AccessMatthew Chersich, Matthew F Chersich et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2016

    BACKGROUND: Researchers in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are under-represented in scientific literature. Mapping of authorship of articles can provide an assessment of data ownership and research capacity in LMICs over time and identify variations between different settings. METHODS: Systematic mapping of maternal health interventional research in LMICs from 2000 to 2012, comparing country of study and of affiliation of first authors. …

  • Perspectives on the methods of a large systematic mapping of maternal health interventions

    Open AccessMatthew Chersich, Victor Becerril-Montekio et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2016

    BACKGROUND: Mapping studies describe a broad body of literature, and differ from classical systematic reviews, which assess more narrowly-defined questions and evaluate the quality of the studies included in the review. While the steps involved in mapping studies have been described previously, a detailed qualitative account of the methodology could inform the design of future mapping studies. OBJECTIVES: Describe the perspectives of a large rese…

  • Mapping of research on maternal health interventions in low- and middle-income countries

    Open AccessMatthew Chersich, Duane Blaauw et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2016

    BACKGROUND: Progress in achieving maternal health goals and the rates of reductions in deaths from individual conditions have varied over time and across countries. Assessing whether research priorities in maternal health align with the main causes of mortality, and those factors responsible for inequitable health outcomes, such as health system performance, may help direct future research. The study thus investigated whether the research done in…

  • The effectiveness of community engagement in public health interventions for disadvantaged groups

  • A systematic mapping of funders of maternal health intervention research 2000-2012

    Open AccessKaty Footman, Katharine Footman et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2014

    BACKGROUND: The priorities of research funding bodies govern the research agenda, which has important implications for the provision of evidence to inform policy. This study examines the research funding landscape for maternal health interventions in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). METHODS: This review draws on a database of 2340 academic papers collected through a large-scale systematic mapping of research on maternal health interventi…

  • Community-based interventions for improving maternal health and for reducing maternal health inequalities in high-income countries

    Open AccessMartha Perry, Martha W Perry et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2014

    BACKGROUND: This review is part of a European Commission project, MASCOT, aimed at reducing maternal and child health inequalities. The purpose was to identify and describe the literature on community-based interventions on maternal health in high-income countries (HIC) and conceptually map the literature according to country focus, topics addressed, nature of the intervention and the intervention provider, and interventions designed to address i…
