Orofacial cleft research and the Sustainable Development Goals
Background: Orofacial clefts (OFC) are common congenital conditions occurring in 1 of 700 births. They have lifelong nutritional, educational, and psychosocial impacts, and require multidisciplinary care from the antenatal period into adulthood. In 2010, the World Health Organization resolved to strengthen responses to congenital conditions, aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030 targets. In this bibliometric m…
Mapping the landscape of congenital anomaly registries worldwide
Connections between science and care within public and global health research
Connections between science and care are common, such as when people access particular therapies through participating in research. However, interactions go far beyond medical treatment per se, with other kinds of advice and support (including direct financial support) also warranting consideration. Such complexities of the science-care relationship are often not fully accounted for by formal ethical and governance processes and approvals. This c…
Can anonymisation become disempowering? Rethinking ethics for low-risk global health research
Anonymisation is intended to confer protection in research, yet in research where disclosure poses minimal threat, blanket anonymisation may disempower participants who explicitly seek recognition. Drawing on fieldwork examining task shifting and sharing in India, we present an example where the leadership of a non-profit questioned why they must stay anonymous, viewing research participation as a rare chance to share learnings, document impact, …
Addressing barriers to global multidisciplinary stakeholder inclusivity
Background: Inclusivity in research priority setting is fundamental to capturing the opinion of all stakeholders in a research area. Globally, experienced healthcare workers often have deep insights that could impactfully shape future research, and a lack of their involvement in formal research and publications could mean that their voices are insufficiently represented. We aimed to modify the well-established Child Health and Nutrition Research …
Cleft Care Companion
Despite the availability of experienced local clinicians across low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), many patients and families with cleft lip and/or palate (CLP) remain unaware of the existence of comprehensive cleft care (CCC) and its access. Furthermore, limited awareness even among health care workers, leads to preventable morbidity, delays in receiving treatment, and the perception [...]
Lost in translation
Harelip’ is a derogatory term to describe individuals with cleft lip +/− and can contribute to ongoing stigma surrounding this condition. Automated translation services and human translators may be unaware of medically offensive terms. Thus, checking any documents by a native speaker with knowledge of the clinical field is essential. As medical terminology evolves, medical societies should publish a list of appropriate as well as outdated terms, …
