  • Exploring risk factors associated with catastrophic health expenditure on diarrhea management in Karachi, Pakistan, 2022-2024

    Open AccessNaveed Ahmed, Mohammad Tahir Yousafzai et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Catastrophic health expenditure (CHE) is a situation where a household’s out-of-pocket medical payments are excessively high relative to its income, potentially leading to impoverishment. This study explores the risk factors associated with CHE in the management of diarrhea among children enrolled in Enterics for Global Health (EFGH) facilities in Karachi, Pakistan. We conducted a secondary analysis of data from 1,400 children presenting with dia…

  • School-based deworming programmes

    Open AccessKumudha Aruldas, Rohan Michael Ramesh et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    In accordance with World Health Organization guidelines, the school-based deworming for soil-transmitted helminths (STH) is being implemented in India since 2015 through teachers on National Deworming Day (NDD). This study aimed to assess teachers’ knowledge levels and perception of STH and NDD programmes in southern India using a cross-sectional study design with purposive sampling of teachers involved in the NDD programme. Data from 402 teacher…

  • Monitoring and evaluating the implementation of essential packages of health services

    Open AccessKristen Danforth, Ahsan Maqbool Ahmad et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2023

    Essential packages of health services (EPHS) are a critical tool for achieving universal health coverage, especially in low-income and lower middle-income countries. However, there is a lack of guidance and standards for monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of EPHS implementation. This paper is the final in a series of papers reviewing experiences using evidence from the Disease Control Priorities, third edition publications in EPHS reforms in seven c…

  • Persistence in a pharmacist-led, same-day PrEP program in Mississippi

    Open AccessChristine M Khosropour, Taylor Riley et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    The majority of individuals given a same-day PrEP prescription either never started PrEP or stopped PrEP within the first three months. Addressing noted barriers of stigma and misinformation and reducing structural barriers may increase PrEP initiation and persistence

  • Community Drug Distributor Knowledge, Attitudes, and Motivation Surrounding Mass Drug Administration for Soil-Transmitted Helminths in India

    Open AccessKumudha Aruldas, Saravanakumar Puthupalayam Kaliappan et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2021

    Background: DeWorm3 is an ongoing multi-country community-based cluster-randomized trial assessing the feasibility of interrupting transmission of soil-transmitted helminths (STH) with community-wide mass drug administration (cMDA). In Tamil Nadu, India, community drug distributors (CDDs) worked with DeWorm3 field staff to counsel community members and deliver door-to-door deworming treatment. As CDDs were likely to influence successful delivery …

  • Comparing Covid-19 physical distancing policies

    Open AccessJeff Lane, Arianna Rubin Means et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2021

    BACKGROUND: Understanding the differences in timing and composition of physical distancing policies is important to evaluate the early global response to COVID-19. A physical distancing intensity monitoring framework comprising 16 domains was recently published to compare physical distancing approaches across 12 U.S. States. We applied this framework to a diverse set of low and middle-income countries (LMICs) (Botswana, India, Jamaica, Mozambique…

  • Implementation Science to Respond to the Covid-19 Pandemic

    Open AccessArianna Rubin Means, Anjuli D Wagner et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2020

    The COVID-19 pandemic continues to expand globally, requiring massive public health responses from national and local governments. These bodies have taken heterogeneous approaches to their responses, including when and how to introduce and enforce evidence-based interventions-such as social distancing, hand-washing, personal protective equipment (PPE), and testing. In this commentary, we reflect on opportunities for implementation science to cont…

  • Development and application of an electronic treatment register

    Open AccessWilliam E Oswald, David S Kennedy et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2020

    We developed an electronic treatment register for the DeWorm3 Project, a cluster-randomised, controlled trial in Benin, India, and Malawi testing the feasibility of interrupting transmission of soil-transmitted helminths through community-wide mass drug administration. The electronic treatment register was designed in xlsform, deployed via the SurveyCTO mobile data collection platform, and implemented on smartphones running the Android operating …

  • The role of implementation science training in global health

    Open AccessArianna Rubin Means, David E Phillips et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2016

    Bridging the 'know-do gap' is an enormous challenge for global health practitioners. They must be able to understand local health dynamics within the operational and social contexts that engender them, test and adjust approaches to implementation in collaboration with communities and stakeholders, interpret data to inform policy decisions, and design adaptive and resilient health systems at scale. These skills and methods have been formalized wit…
