Postpartum continuity of care for women with HIV
Introduction Postpartum disengagement from HIV care increases risks for adverse maternal health outcomes and transmission of HIV through breastfeeding. In January 2015, South Africa implemented Option B+, a policy extending lifelong antiretroviral therapy (ART) eligibility to all pregnant women living with HIV (PWLWH) regardless of CD4 count. We assessed the impact of Option B+ on postpartum retention in HIV care for PWLWH and identified predicto…
Early transition markers, opportunities, and limitations that define pathways into the labour market from adolescence to adulthood in South Africa
Institutions matter
Several academic papers have shown that the distribution of household decision-making power has a positive influence on women’s contraceptive autonomy. This paper considers the role of the social or institutional environment (as captured by place of residence) in ameliorating or contributing to this relationship. Our study focuses on the context of Nigeria, a country with diverse gender norms and religious practices, often determined by geographi…
Is the impact of the South African child support grant on childhood stunting robust? An instrumental variable evaluation
The Child Support Grant (CSG) is part of the South African Social Assistance Programme, which costs the country approximately 1.3% of GDP annually. Given the scale of this programme, it is important to assess whether it has had an impact on the long-term health outcomes of children. Extant literature on the impact of CSG on a child’s long run nutritional status as measured by the height-for-age relies on the optimistic assumption that estimation …
Understanding Period Poverty
Menstrual hygiene management and health is increasingly gaining policy importance in a bid to promote dignity, gender equality and reproductive health. Effective and adequate menstrual hygiene management requires women and girls to have access to their menstrual health materials and products of choice, but also extends into having private, clean and safe spaces for using these materials. The paper provides empirical evidence of the inequality in …
Testing an Incentive-Based and Community Health Worker Package Intervention to Improve Maternal Health and Nutrition Outcomes
An Incentive-Based and Community Health Worker Package Intervention to Improve Early Utilization of Antenatal Care
Impact of tax increases on illicit cigarette trade in Mongolia
The share of illicit cigarettes declined between rounds 1 and 2 despite the import tax increase, and this trend continued in round 3 despite the excise tax increase
Poor Health Reporting? Using Anchoring Vignettes to Uncover Health Disparities by Wealth and Race
In spite of the wide disparities in wealth and in objective health measures like mortality, observed inequality by wealth in self-reported health appears to be nearly nonexistent in low- to middle-income settings. To determine the extent to which this is driven by reporting tendencies, we use anchoring vignettes to test and correct for reporting heterogeneity in health among elderly South Africans. Significant reporting differences across wealth …
A comparable yardstick
Health-system responsiveness (HSR) measures the experience of health-system users in terms of the non-clinical aspects of the health system. This has been operationalized as a measurable construct in multiple surveys and studies. According to the literature, reporting behaviour may vary systematically across socio-demographic characteristics. In this study we explore the association between education levels and reporting behaviour in terms of HSR…
