Implementation of an ultrasound-guided nerve block program in an academic emergency department
Introduction: Ultrasound-guided nerve blocks (UGNBs) offer effective, opioid-sparing analgesia and have been increasingly recognized as a valuable component of multimodal pain management in the Emergency Department (ED). Despite endorsement by major professional societies, adoption of UGNBs among emergency physicians has been slow due to educational, logistical, and interdepartmental barriers. This study describes the implementation of a comprehe…
Implications of climate change impacts for emission and land use scenario development
Scenarios of future emissions and land use produced by Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) have traditionally been developed without accounting for how climate change impacts could affect the emissions and land use trajectories themselves. This omission risks skewing our assessments of the plausible range of future emission pathways and associated Earth system changes. Beyond the salience for emission scenario development, a better integrated rep…
Incorporating Method Dissatisfaction into Unmet Need for Contraception
While unmet need for contraception is commonly used to assess programmatic needs, it inadequately captures the complexity of fertility and contraceptive preferences, including women's satisfaction with their contraceptive method. In their 2019 commentary, Sarah Rominski and Rob Stephenson propose reclassifying dissatisfied current users as having an unmet need for contraception. As revising the current definition based on their proposal would req…
Contraceptive Practice in sub-Saharan Africa
Forty eight of the African continent's 54 sovereign states are located in the Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) region, with the government of each defining and shaping its own health services and delivery systems. This paper reviews the trends and patterns of contraceptive practice in the region. Using survey data available from the Demographic and Health Surveys and Performance Monitoring and Accountability 2020, the study finds modern contraceptive pra…
Voluntary, Human Rights–Based Family Planning
At the 2012 Family Planning Summit in London, world leaders committed to providing effective family planning information and services to 120 million additional women and girls by the year 2020. Amid positive response, some expressed concern that the numeric goal could signal a retreat from the human rights–centered approach that underpinned the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development. Achieving the FP2020 goal will take concer…
Developing the “120 by 20” Goal for the Global FP2020 Initiative
This report describes the purpose for developing a quantitative goal for the London Summit on Family Planning held in July 2012, the methodology behind its formulation, and the lessons learned in the process. The London Summit has evolved into the global initiative known as FP2020, and the goal has become “120 by 20,” or reaching 120 million additional users of modern contraceptive methods by 2020 in the world's poorest countries. The success of …
Making the most of common impact metrics
There is considerable value in exploring whether and how a limited set of common health metrics, such as the ones presented in this supplement, can produce valid and reliable estimates of impact for global health and family planning. Through a shared vocabulary of transparent data elements drawn from routine service statistics, population-level measures, and measures of proven effect from rigorous trials, such metrics could provide a view of coll…
Supporting the massive scale-up of antiretroviral therapy
To mitigate the gap between those needing and those receiving ART, more facilities were supported. The proportion of government facilities supported and the median number of persons treated at these facilities increased. This shift could potentially be sustainable as government sites reach more individuals and receive government funding. These results demonstrate that PEPFAR was able to support a massive scale-up of ART services in a short period…
Equitable Distribution of Pepfar-Supported HIV/Aids Services in South Africa
This letter to the editor describes South Africa’s lack of proper health infrastructure which has led to inequalities in access to healthcare. This primarily affects the population’s access to HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis treatments. The South African government and the U.S.’s PEPFAR program have been working to reverse this trend. Recent data indicates that there is an association between the burden of HIV/AIDS and the people tested for HIV/AIDS as…
Health and Living Arrangements Among Older Americans
These results underscore the critical role of the spouse in influencing living arrangements, providing new evidence supporting the assertion that a spouse is the greatest guarantee of support in old age and the importance of the marriage institution
Old Age Mortality in Japan
The observation that educational crossover exists only among elderly men may be because of gender and SES differences in causes of death, morbidity, and health behavior. On the other hand, possible explanations for age differences in the educational crossover include selective survival and cohort effects
Transitions in Living Arrangements Among Elders in Japan
Poor health does trigger changes in living arrangement. Both physical (i.e., chronic conditions and functional status) and mental (i.e., depressed affect) health conditions play a role in such transitions. Because health conditions are correlated with competing risks of mortality, attrition, and proxy interview, health effects on changes in living arrangement are likely underestimated
Facilitating Large‐scale Transitions to Quality of Care
In the field of reproductive health, investigation of the transfer of knowledge gained from demonstration and pilot projects to large public‐sector programs typically has not been considered a relevant domain for research or other investigation. This article draws on a range of research in the social sciences and presents two frameworks for understanding the critical attributes of successful expansion of small‐scale innovations. Seven key lessons…

Dispensation of emergency contraceptive pills in Michigan Title X clinics
OBJECTIVES: Emergency contraceptive pill dispensation was estimated in Michigan Title X family planning programs. METHODS: Logistic regression and tobit estimation models were used to predict whether and to what extent emergency contraceptive pills are dispensed. RESULTS: Of the 53 programs studies, 32 dispensed emergency contraceptive pills, averaging fewer than one client per month. Total dispensation was skewed toward a few programs, and the c…
Some ethical considerations in defensive psychiatry
Involuntary admission of a patient deemed dangerous may be motivated by a wish to protect the patient and others from potential violence-or by a practitioner's wish to limit personal liability. Evidence is offered to suggest that the practice of defensive psychiatry is not uncommon, and a case demonstrating the role of professional self-protection in an involuntary commitment decision is presented. Procedural modifications in the commitment proce…
Drowning and near-drowning involving children
A study of all serious childhood immersion accidents (both drowned and near-drowned cases) is reported from Hawaii. This is a total population-based survey of 140 consecutive cases (0--15 years) occurring during the five-year period (1973--1977. Age-specific, sex-specific, and osmolality-specific (salt versus fresh water) data are presented both for survivors and fatalities. The overall annual drowning rate of 3.1 per 100,000 children at risk is …
