  • How much can healthier diets reduce future economic and human costs? Results from Ethiopia and the Philippines

    Open AccessSusan Horton, Michelle F Gaffey et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2026Referências: 25

    As countries progress through the ‘nutrition transition’ and experience rising rates of obesity and noncommunicable disease, concern has broadened from a primary focus on economic consequences of child stunting, to incorporate multiple forms of malnutrition, including overweight and obesity, or a more ambitious set of individual dietary risk factors from the Global Burden of Disease work. This paper conceptualizes a methodology that uses unhealth…

  • The effects of armed conflict on the health of women and children

    Open AccessEran Bendavid, Ties Boerma et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2021

  • Delivering maternal and neonatal health interventions in conflict settings

    Open AccessMariella Munyuzangabo, Michelle F Gaffey et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    BACKGROUND: While much progress was made throughout the Millennium Development Goals era in reducing maternal and neonatal mortality, both remain unacceptably high, especially in areas affected by humanitarian crises. While valuable guidance on interventions to improve maternal and neonatal health in both non-crisis and crisis settings exists, guidance on how best to deliver these interventions in crisis settings, and especially in conflict setti…

  • Delivering nutrition interventions to women and children in conflict settings

    Open AccessShailja Shah, Zahra Ali Padhani et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

  • Delivering mental health and psychosocial support interventions to women and children in conflict settings

    Open AccessMahdis Kamali, Mariella Munyuzangabo et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

  • Delivering water, sanitation and hygiene interventions to women and children in conflict settings

    Open AccessDaina Als, Sarah Meteke et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    BACKGROUND: Access to safe water and sanitation facilities and the adoption of effective hygiene practices are fundamental to reducing maternal and child morbidity and mortality globally. In armed conflict settings, inadequate water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) infrastructure poses major health risks for women and children. This review aimed to synthesise the existing information on WASH interventions being delivered to women and children in co…

  • Delivery of sexual and reproductive health interventions in conflict settings

    Open AccessMariella Munyuzangabo, Dina Sami Khalifa et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    BACKGROUND: It is essential to provide comprehensive sexual and reproductive health (SRH) interventions to women affected by armed conflict, but there is a lack of evidence on effective approaches to delivering such interventions in conflict settings. This review synthesised the available literature on SRH intervention delivery in conflict settings to inform potential priorities for further research and additional guidance development. METHODS: W…

  • Delivering non-communicable disease interventions to women and children in conflict settings

    Open AccessShailja Shah, Mariella Munyuzangabo et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    BACKGROUND: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide. In the context of conflict settings, population displacement, disrupted treatment, infrastructure damage and other factors impose serious NCD intervention delivery challenges, but relatively little attention has been paid to addressing these challenges. Here we synthesise the available indexed and grey literature reporting on the delivery of NCD interventions t…

  • Delivering infectious disease interventions to women and children in conflict settings

    Open AccessSarah Meteke, Marianne Stefopulos et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    BACKGROUND: Conflict has played a role in the large-scale deterioration of health systems in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) and increased risk of infections and outbreaks. This systematic review aimed to synthesise the literature on mechanisms of delivery for a range of infectious disease-related interventions provided to conflict-affected women, children and adolescents. METHODS: We searched Medline, Embase, CINAHL and PsychINFO …

  • Delivering trauma and rehabilitation interventions to women and children in conflict settings

    Open AccessReena P Jain, Sarah Meteke et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    Background: In recent years, more than 120 million people each year have needed urgent humanitarian assistance and protection. Armed conflict has profoundly negative consequences in communities. Destruction of civilian infrastructure impacts access to basic health services and complicates widespread emergency responses. The number of conflicts occurring is increasing, lasting longer and affecting more people today than a decade ago. The number of…

  • Understanding the factors affecting the humanitarian health and nutrition response for women and children in Somalia since 2000

    Open AccessZahra Ahmed, Anushka Ataullahjan et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2020

    Emerging recommendations include further exploration of government partnerships with private-sector service providers to make services available throughout Somalia free of charge, with further research on innovative uses of technology to help reaches remote and inaccessible areas. To mitigate chronic skilled health worker shortages, more operational research is needed on the expanded use of community health workers. Persistent gaps in service pro…

  • C’est vraiment compliqué

    Open AccessAnushka Ataullahjan, Michelle F Gaffey et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2020

    Our study highlights the need for a more flexible funding and management mechanism that can better respond to concerns and issues arising at a local level. As the conflict in Mali continues to worsen, there is an urgent need to improve service delivery to conflict-affected populations

  • Researching the delivery of health and nutrition interventions for women and children in the context of armed conflict

    Open AccessMichelle F Gaffey, Anushka Ataullahjan et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2020

    Strong local partners are essential to the success of any project, contributing not only technical and methodological capacity but also the insight needed to truly understand and interpret local dynamics for the wider study team and to navigate those dynamics to ensure study rigour and relevance. Maintaining realistic expectations of data that are typically available in conflict settings is also essential, while pushing for more resources and fur…

  • Prioritizing research for integrated implementation of early childhood development and maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health and nutrition platforms

    Open AccessRenee Sharma, Michelle F Gaffey et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2017

    BACKGROUND: Existing health and nutrition services present potential platforms for scaling up delivery of early childhood development (ECD) interventions within sensitive windows across the life course, especially in the first 1000 days from conception to age 2 years. However, there is insufficient knowledge on how to optimize implementation for such strategies in an integrated manner. In light of this knowledge gap, we aimed to systematically id…

  • Multiple‐micronutrient supplementation

    Open AccessCristiana Berti, Michelle F Gaffey et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2017

    Micronutrient deficiencies during pregnancy pose important challenges for public-health, given the potential adverse outcomes not only during pregnancy but across the life-course. Provision of iron-folic acid (IFA) supplements is the strategy most commonly practiced and recommended globally. How to successfully implement IFA and multiple micronutrient supplementation interventions among pregnant women and to achieve sustainable/permanent solution…

  • No Female Disadvantage in Anthropometric Status among Children in India

    Open AccessDaniel J Corsi, Michelle F Gaffey et al.ARTICLEJournal of South Asian Development2015Citada por: 7Referências: 1

    Female disadvantage in child mortality, intra-household allocation of food and coverage of health interventions has been shown to exist in India. At the same time, there has been limited examination of female disadvantage in nutritional status. Using measures of anthropometry and anthropometric failure, we study female disadvantage in child nutritional status from the data collected from the Indian National Family Health Survey (NFHS) undertaken …
