Abstract

Background: Preterm birth, defined as infants born before 37 weeks of gestation, is the largest contributor to child mortality. Despite new evidence highlighting the global burden of prematurity, policymakers have failed to adequately prioritize preterm birth despite the magnitude of its health impacts. Given current levels of political attention and investment, it is unlikely that the global community will be adequately mobilized to meet the 2012 Born Too Soon report goal of reducing the preterm birth rate by 50% by 2025. Methods: This study adapts the Shiffman and Smith framework for political priority to examine four components contributing to policy action in global health: actor power, ideas, political context, and issue characteristics. We conducted key informant interviews with 18 experts in prematurity and reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health (RMNCH) and reviewed key literature on preterm birth. We aimed to identify the factors that shape the global political priority of preterm birth and to describe policy opportunities to increase its priority moving forward. Results: The global preterm birth community (academic researchers, multilateral organizations, government agencies, and civil society organizations) lacks evidence about the causes of and solutions to preterm birth; and country-level data quality is poor with gaps in the understanding required for implementing effective interventions. Limited funding compounds these challenges, creating divisions among experts on what policy actions to recommend. These factors contribute to the lack of priority and underrepresentation of preterm birth within the larger RMNCH agenda. Conclusion: Increasing the political priority of prematurity is essential to reduce preventable newborn and child mortality, a key target of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goal for health (target 3.2). This study identifies three policy recommendations for the preterm birth community: address data and evidence gaps, clarify and invest in viable solutions, and bring visibility to prematurity within the larger RMNCH agendas.

15. What can the G7 do to achieve the Global Health 2035 goals?

Abstract

The Global Health 2035 report shows that there is tremendous potential to achieve dramatic gains in global health over the next 20 years, particularly with regards to the G7's priorities of eliminating NTDs, preparing effectively for pandemics, and tackling AMR. These challenges require urgent international collective action and demand the leadership and focused investment of the G7. To maximize its impact and help mobilize action for the post-2015 health agenda, the G7 should target its efforts towards four critical policy options: investing in new tools, supporting policy and implementation research, strengthening national health systems, and fostering global coordination. By working in partnership with donor, low- and middle-income countries on these policy options, the G7 can set the course to achieve a grand convergence in global health.

20. Gender attitudes and violence among urban adolescent boys in India.

Abstract

Young males' perpetration of violence against females is prevalent across the globe, and is associated with inequitable gender attitudes including the condoning of violence against women. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among boys ages 10-16 (N = 1040) from urban neighborhoods of Mumbai, India to examine the relationship among adolescent males' gender attitudes, attitudes condoning violence against women, exposure to family and community violence, and violence perpetration against peers and girls. More equitable gender attitudes were associated with significantly less likelihood of sexual violence perpetration. Promoting equitable gender attitudes may be an important modifiable factor in preventing violence against women and girls, especially among boys who have been exposed to violence.

Abstract

Programs that engage men to promote gender equity, referred to as "gender-transformative programs", improve men's health behaviors. No studies have examined how such programs may influence the everyday behaviors of men who are implementing these programs among youth. An in-depth interview study was conducted with the female partners and kin of male cricket coaches in urban India who were trained to deliver a gender violence prevention program for young male cricket athletes. Women noted multiple changes among these men including increased time spent on housework and child care, improved interpersonal communication, attention to women's desires and needs, and less aggression. Gender-transformative programs intended for youth may have unanticipated, positive consequences for the implementers of these programs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
