Effectiveness of an intervention package on the continuum of care among mothers and their knowledge of non-communicable diseases
Strategies for the continuum of care (CoC) for mothers and newborns have yet to be adequately evaluated in Myanmar. Similarly, the feasibility of integrating non-communicable diseases (NCDs) education into routine maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) services remains unexamined. This study assessed the effect of an intervention package on achieving the CoC for mothers and their knowledge of NCDs in Myanmar. In three townships (Pantanaw, Wake…
Social capital and quality of life among caregivers of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder in Mongolia

Social capital was positively associated with three QoL domains, excluding the physical domain, with caregivers-mostly mothers-scoring the lowest in environmental support.

Long-term retention and positive deviant practices in Uganda’s community client-led antiretroviral distribution groups (CCLADs)
BACKGROUND: HIV testing and starting antiretroviral therapy (ART) are pivotal in treating people living with HIV (PLHIV) but sustaining PLHIV on treatment remains challenging. We assessed retention and attrition in community client-led antiretroviral distribution groups (CCLADs) in Uganda and identified positive deviant practices that foster long-term retention. METHODS: Using explanatory mixed methods, we collected longitudinal medical data from…
Exposure to violence and other determinants of health literacy among Palestinian adolescents
Exposure to different forms of violence predicted low levels of health literacy among Palestinian middle school students.

Factors influencing physical distancing compliance among young adults during Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia
The spreading of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is growing out of control in Indonesia since the first two confirmed cases were announced in March 2020. Physical distancing measures are key to slowing down COVID-19 transmission. This study investigated factors associated with physical distancing compliance among young adults in the Jakarta Metropolitan Area, Indonesia. A convergent photovoice mixed methods design was used. Quantitatively, usi…

We conducted a controlled before-after intervention study in 2016 at a major international hospital in Japan. We created two interventions: (1) a brief piece of health inf…

Positive Deviance for Dual-Method Promotion among Women in Uganda
Dual-method use is the most reliable form of protection against unintended pregnancies and human immunodeficiency virus/sexually transmitted infections (HIV/STIs). Although dual-method use remains uncommon among women in stable relationships, some women do practice it. In this study, we explored the barriers that make dual-method use rare and the behaviors of women who practice dual-method use using a positive deviance framework in Uganda. We scr…
Leadership and Peer Counseling Program
Senior volunteers represented a significant, mostly untapped lay resource of informal social care. In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of the training program on improving senior volunteers' competency toward peer counseling, and explored its impact on their well-being after three months of the program implementation. We conducted a pre- and post-intervention analysis among 60 senior volunteers aged 60-82 years. They participated in 40 …
Unmet Needs and Coping Mechanisms Among Community-Dwelling Senior Citizens in the Philippines
The Philippine government is facing a burden of improving health and social services for both the growing elderly and young population. The extent of discussion on aging issues and concerns, however, is minimal at best. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the perceptions of unmet needs and to explore the coping mechanisms of senior citizens across local stakeholders in an urban area in the Philippines. In this qualitative study, we collected d…
