Using human-centered design to re-vision the emergency obstetric and newborn care framework
The Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care (EmONC) Framework has been instrumental in helping countries plan and monitor maternal health services for over 20 years. Given evolving health systems, the changing expectations of both patients and health providers, and the expanded evidence base, the “Re-Visioning EmONC” project was initiated to update this framework to better meet countries’ needs. To understand the needs of its primary intended users,…
Measuring the strength of maternal, newborn and child health care implementation and its association with childhood mortality risk in three rural districts of Tanzania
This observational cohort study explores the association between maternal, newborn and child health care (MNCH) implementation strength and child survival in rural Tanzania from 2011-2015. Measuring this relationship is crucial to improve health outcomes and inform decision-making by identifying which interventions are most effective, where gaps exist, and how to strengthen primary health care systems. We used data from a 2011 service availabilit…
The development of proxy indicators to measure workforce well-being in emergency obstetric and neonatal care settings
Background: A shortage of health workers with skills to deliver high-quality routine and emergency maternal and newborn health (MNH) care hinders achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. Health worker well-being is a determinant of the quality and experiences of care. The emergency obstetric and newborn care (EmONC) framework supports country-level planners and managers to evaluate EmONC systems. We describe a measure development activit…
The implementation and effectiveness of multi-tasked, paid community health workers on maternal and child health
Community health worker programs have proliferated worldwide based on evidence that they help prevent mortality, particularly among children. However, there is limited evidence from randomized studies on the processes and effectiveness of implementing community health worker programs through public health systems. This paper describes the results of a cluster-randomized pragmatic implementation trial (registration number ISRCTN96819844) and quali…
Systems on the edge
Mistreatment in childbirth is institutionalized in many healthcare settings globally, causing widespread harm. Rising concern has elicited research on its prevalence and characteristics, with limited attention to developing explanatory theory. Mistreatment, a complex systemic and behavioral phenomenon, requires social science theory to explain its persistence despite official norms that promote respectful care. Diane Vaughan’s normalization of or…
Powers of Imagination and Legal Regimes against "Obeah" in the Late Eighteenth- and Early Nineteenth-Century British Caribbean
Toward the end of the eighteenth century, African-derived spiritual practices glossed as “obeah” came to be intensely associated with pathologies of the imagination, first by British Caribbean slaveholders, and then much more widely by others. This article focuses on how early writings about, and legal regimes against, African Caribbean spirit work were shaped by theories of mind-body interaction during the final decades of British Caribbean slav…

Disrespectful and abusive treatment during facility delivery in Tanzania
Although qualitative studies have raised attention to humiliating treatment of women during labour and delivery, there are no reliable estimates of the prevalence of disrespectful and abusive treatment in health facilities. We measured the frequency of reported abusive experiences during facility childbirth in eight health facilities in Tanzania and examined associated factors. The study was conducted in rural northeastern Tanzania. Using a struc…
Eye of the beholder? Observation versus self-report in the measurement of disrespect and abuse during facility-based childbirth
Human rights has been a vital tool in the global movement to reduce maternal mortality and to expose the disrespect and abuse that women experience during childbirth in facilities around the world. Yet to truly transform the relationship between women and providers, human rights-based approaches (HRBAs) will need to go beyond articulation, dissemination and even legal enforcement of formal norms of respectful maternity care. HRBAs must also devel…
An exploration of the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of professional, multitasked community health workers in Tanzania
Despite four decades of global experience with community-based primary health care, the strategic details of community health worker (CHW) recruitment, training, compensation, and deployment remain the subject of continuing discussion and debate. Responsibilities and levels of clinical expertise also vary greatly, as well as contrasting roles of public- versus private-sector organisations as organisers of CHW effort. This paper describes a progra…

Defining disrespect and abuse of women in childbirth
PerspectivesIn the field of maternal and newborn health, there have been calls to prioritize the intra-partum period and promote facility delivery to meet maternal and newborn mortality reduction goals. This aim is based on a decade of epide-miological work identifying causes of death, systematically reviewing effective interventions, and modelling the impact of intervention coverage on mortality.
Vodouyizan Protest an Amendment to the Constitution of Haiti
In June 2012, many practitioners of religion in Haiti and diaspora were dismayed to learn that a landmark law protecting religious and civil liberties had been abrogated as part of a series of farreaching amendments to 1987 Haitian Constitution. The reason for abrogation of Article 297 was- and to a great extent remains-unclear, even as government officials sought to assure that repeal in no way targeted or compromised rights of Vodouyizan. Amids…
Role of condom negotiation on condom use among women of reproductive age in three districts in Tanzania
Confidence to negotiate condom use is a significant predictor of actual condom use among women in rural Tanzania. Women, especially unmarried ones, those in multiple partnerships or anyone needing protection should be empowered with condom negotiation skills for increased use of condoms in order to enhance their sexual and reproductive health outcomes
The Spirits and the Law
Prohibition, persecution, performance
A preponderance of the ethnographies published by researchers working in Haiti during the 1930s and 1940s focus on the Vodou religion. Yet the fact that many Haitian popular ritual practices were officially prohibited by penal law, first as «sortilèges» and later as «pratiques superstitieuses», and, on this basis, subject to US Marine, Protestant missionary, Catholic Church, and Haitian state offensives during these same years, is not always well…
Legislating “Civilization” in Postrevolutionary Haiti
This article examines the nineteenth century Haitian state’s penal prohibition of “le vaudoux” as a form of “sortilege” or spell. It studies how, in the face of unremitting white Western hostility and racist malign, successive post-revolutionary Haitian governments relied on juridical law both as a sign of political modernity and as a space for the repudiation of the so-called primitive in Haiti. The article focuses on two significant episodes of…
