Reducing inequities in maternal and child health in rural Guatemala through the CBIO+ Approach of Curamericas
The Project Area in which Curamericas/Guatemala implemented the CBIO+ Approach experienced a reduction in the prevalence of stunting and other measures of undernutrition in under-2 children. Given the burden of undernutrition in Guatemala and other parts of the world, this approach merits broader application and further evaluation
Reducing inequities in maternal and child health in rural Guatemala through the CBIO+ Approach of Curamericas
Through increased theoretical and practical knowledge about important maternal and child health matters and through the social experience of obtaining this knowledge and sharing it with other community members, participation in the Care Group Approach empowered participants to make positive health behavior changes for themselves and for their children and families. This, in turn, led many participants to become more engaged in community activitie…
Reducing inequities in maternal and child health in rural Guatemala through the CBIO+ Approach of Curamericas
The Birthing Centers were able to resolve almost one-half of the peripartum complications and to promptly refer almost all of the others to a higher level of care, resulting in a maternal mortality ratio less than half that for all Indigenous Guatemalan women. This is the first study we are aware of that analyzes the management of obstetrical complications in such a setting. Barriers to providing high-quality maternity care, including obtaining c…
Reducing inequities in maternal and child health in rural Guatemala through the CBIO+ Approach of Curamericas
The CBIO+ Approach and its implementation by Curamericas/Guatemala was overall embraced by local staff. By eliciting feedback while the project was ongoing, actionable areas for improvement were identified
Reducing inequities in maternal and child health in rural Guatemala through the CBIO+ Approach of Curamericas
CBIO+ is an approach that has been effective in engaging communities in the process of improving the health of their mothers and children and in reducing health inequities in this marginalized, difficult-to-reach population of Indigenous Maya people. The CBIO+ Approach is cost-effective and merits further development and broader application in Guatemala and beyond
Reducing inequities in maternal and child health in rural Guatemala through the CBIO+ Approach of Curamericas
This community-based Project has been effective in quickly achieving marked improvements in indicators for interventions that are important for the health of mothers and children. These achievements are notable in view of the challenging context in which the Project was implemented
Reducing inequities in maternal and child health in rural Guatemala through the CBIO+ Approach of Curamericas
The Project achieved some notable improvements in women's decision-making autonomy and participation in community activities. These improvements often translated into making decisions to practice recommended health behaviors. Traditional cultural norms and the barriers to accessing needed health services are not easily overcome, even when empowerment strategies are effective
Reducing inequities in maternal and child health in rural Guatemala through the CBIO+ Approach of Curamericas
The baseline maternal mortality ratio is one of the highest in the Western hemisphere. There is strong evidence of a decline in maternal mortality in the Project Area. The evidence of a decline in neonatal and under-5 mortality is less robust. Childhood pneumonia and neonatal conditions were the leading causes of under-5 mortality. Expanding access to evidence-based community-based interventions for (1) prevention of postpartum hemorrhage, (2) ho…
