    Open AccessMaría Del Pilar Flores-Quispe, Maria Clara Restrepo-Méndez et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2019

    LAC countries have made substantial progress in terms of reducing stunting,. Nevertheless, renewed actions are needed to improve equity. Particularly in those countries were absolute and relative inequalities did not change over time such Bolivia and Guatemala.

    The last decade has seen a breakthrough in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) with the advent of phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors. There are few population-based observational studies on the prevalence of use of these drugs. We conducted a cross-sectional population-based study in the city of Pelotas (Brazil). Our sample comprised 1,082 men aged 20 years or older who answered a confidential and self-administered questionnaire. Prevalence of…

  • Patterns and determinants of antenatal care utilization

    Open AccessGhada E Saad, Ghada Saad–Haddad et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2016

    BACKGROUND: Antenatal care (ANC) is critical for improving maternal and newborn health. WHO recommends that pregnant women complete at least four ANC visits. Countdown and other global monitoring efforts track the proportions of women who receive one or more visits by a skilled provider (ANC1+) and four or more visits by any provider (ANC4+). This study investigates patterns of drop-off in use between ANC1+ and ANC4+, and explores inequalities in…

    Open AccessMaria Clara Restrepo-Méndez, María Clara Restrepo–méndez et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2016

We assessed how many children failed to be fully immunized even though they or their mothers were in contact with health services to receive other interventions. DESIGN: Fourteen countries with Demographic and Health Surveys and Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys carried out after 2000 and with coverage for DPT (Diphtheria-tetanus-pertus…

  • Coverage and equity in reproductive and maternal health interventions in Brazil

    Open AccessGiovanny Vinícius Araújo De França, Maria Clara Restrepo-Méndez et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2016

    Despite the difficulties faced in the implementation of SUS, coverage of essential interventions increased and equity has improved dramatically, due in most cases to marked increase in coverage among the poorest 40 %. An increase in unnecessary Caesarean sections was also observed during the period. Further evaluation on the quality of healthcare provided is needed

  • Examining national and district-level trends in neonatal health in Peru through an equity lens

    Open AccessLuis Huicho, Carlos A Huayanay-Espinoza et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016

    Although progress in Peru for reducing NMR has been remarkable, future challenges include closing remaining gaps for urban and rural populations and improving newborn health with qualified staff and intermediate- and intensive-level health facilities

  • Remaining missed opportunities of child survival in Peru

    Open AccessYvonne Tam, Luis Huicho et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016

    Although Peru has made great strides in improving child survival, further improvement in child health, especially in newborn health can be achieved if there is universal and equitable coverage of proven, quality health facility-based interventions. The magnitude of reduction in mortality will be similar to what has been achieved in the past decade. Strengthening health system to identify, understand, and direct resources to the poor and rural are…

  • Association between maternal age at childbirth and child and adult outcomes in the offspring

    Open AccessCaroline Fall, Caroline H D Fall et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet Global Health2015

Few studies have examined these associations in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) and none have studied adult outcomes in the offspring. We aimed to examine both child and adult outcomes in five LMICs. METHODS: In this prospective study, we pooled data from COHORTS (Consortium for Health Orientated Research in Transitioning Societies…

  • Estimating family planning coverage from contraceptive prevalence using national household surveys

    Open AccessAluísio J D Barros, Ties Boerma et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2015

    BACKGROUND: Contraception is one of the most important health interventions currently available and yet, many women and couples still do not have reliable access to modern contraceptives. The best indicator for monitoring family planning is the proportion of women using contraception among those who need it. This indicator is frequently called demand for family planning satisfied and we argue that it should be called family planning coverage (FPC…
