Abstract

Access to maternal and new born health services in most poor countries has been impeded by financial barriers and there has been increased attention for the mobilization of local resources to improve access to services. This study described the establishment, management and utilization of community based maternal health fund by indigenous women’s groups in a rural area of Somali region. The community-based fund was initiated and established by the women’s group as a result of financial constraints faced by pregnant women in accessing health services in the study area. The fund relied exclusively on the group’s monthly contribution and contribution by other members of the communities. The program is unique with the contributors not being beneficiaries of the fund and the management and operation of the fund was at group’s discretion. 754 pregnant women have benefitted from the fund since it was established in 2016 (403 supported during referral to the hospital; 284 provided with transport fare and basic household commodities after delivery and 67 hosted at the maternal waiting homes and provided with food and transport fare).The study demonstrates how community members are able to mobilize local resources to develop community solutions to identified local problems through active participation and commitment. Scaling up such innovative community initiated and managed funds that do not depend on external funding or beneficiary contributions has great potential to improve access to services and improve maternal health outcomes.

Abstract

A study was conducted to examine the safety and efficacy of testosterone treatment in older men who have limitations in mobility and also determine if testosterone supplementation increased muscle mass and strength in healthy older men. The application of a testosterone gel was observed to be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular adverse events in population of older men with limitations in mobility and a high prevalence of chronic disease.

Abstract

Background: Suicide is a serious and growing public health concern, both for the United States (U.S.) and for the Department of Defense (DoD).Methods: Using the social-ecological framework, we provide examples of how three newly developed, DoD-funded pilots/programs have incorporated a public health approach to help prevent military suicide.Key Results: The first two programs demonstrate how non-clinical, community-based approaches can be tailored to specific military subgroups at the individual, relational, and community levels. These programs include a universal suicide prevention program developed for Special Operations service members, spouses, and mental health providers, and a selective suicide prevention program pilot developed for military chaplains to support them in their role as a "gateway" to care for distressed service members, improve mental health and chaplaincy collaboration, and prevent burnout. The third program illustrates how the creation of and policy of a methodology/infrastructure to conduct standardized, theory-driven suicide death reviews across the DoD may inform the DoD public health approach to surveillance, review, and synthesis of suicide data, informed by the social-ecological model. Potential program limitations and evaluation efforts are discussed.Conclusion: Future prevention approaches should enhance coordination and communication between DoD, VA, and community organizations to enhance multi-level suicide prevention programming for military personnel, veterans, and civilians.
