Health And Socioeconomic Well-Being Of Young People Living With Hiv In Zambia: Evaluating The Zamfam Project, Project Soar
HIV and AIDS
The US Agency for International Development and US President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief are supporting the Zambia Family (ZAMFAM) project to strengthen comprehensive, integrated service delivery and support to children living with, affected by, or vulnerable to HIV/AIDS in the Lusaka, Copperbelt, Southern, and Central Provinces of Zambia. Project SOAR is conducting a three-year prospective cohort study of young people living with (YPLHIV) and their primary caregivers/guardians in Central Province where the ZAMFAM project is being implemented, and in Eastern Province where there are no ongoing ZAMFAM activities for comparison.

Engaging Community Women's Groups For Improved Uptake Of Antenatal Care Services In Cross River State, Nigeria: An Analysis Of Post-Intervention Findings, Salisu Mohammed Ishaku
Reproductive Health
The Ending Eclampsia project seeks to understand the potential of underutilized and promising interventions that increase access to services, particularly improving community referral systems. This brief reports on a study in Nigeria’s Cross River state that aimed to test the feasibility of women’s group leaders delivering health information for pre-eclampsia and eclampsia (PE/E), referral, and other antenatal care (ANC) services to their peers, to increasing access to quality maternal and newborn health services. Women’s group findings suggest that community engagement is a critical model for information sharing and is an adaptable, acceptable model for increasing PE/E prevention and danger-sign recognition …

Findings From Post-Intervention Analysis Of Pre-Eclampsia/Eclampsia In Kogi State, Salisu Mohammed Ishaku
Reproductive Health
Maternal and newborn deaths due to pre-eclampsia and eclampsia (PE/E) are preventable, yet in Nigeria this is the most significant direct cause of maternal mortality. Following a landscape analysis to better understand the enormity of this problem across seven states in Nigeria, a cross-cutting intervention was implemented in Cross River, Ebonyi, and Kogi states. Researchers worked with primary healthcare (PHC) providers, policymakers, women’s groups, and community members to increase uptake of underutilized interventions and commodities for the prevention and treatment of PE/E in rural Nigeria. This brief presents study findings from Kogi state on post-intervention landscape changes in: programmatic and …

Reducing Barriers To Accessing Fistula Repair: Implementation Research In Ebonyi, Pooja Sripad, Emmanuel Nwala, Vandana Tripathi
Reproductive Health
Female genital fistula is preventable and surgically treatable, but women who lack access to quality health care often live with fistula for many years. For every 1,000 births, an estimated 2.11 women develop fistula in Nigeria and despite the establishment of internationally accredited national fistula centers across the country, the majority of women live with unrepaired fistula. The Population Council, in collaboration with EngenderHealth and the Fistula Care Plus project, conducted implementation research to understand whether a comprehensive information, screening, and referral intervention reduces transportation, communication, and financial barriers to accessing preventive care, detection, and treatment of fistula in Ebonyi …
