Our aim is to leverage best practices to improve the scale-up and use of Depot-medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA-SC) (Sayana® Press) in Uganda and Nigeria. To do so, M&IHC first executed a global literature review on emerging best practices in the training and follow-up for the self-injectable contraceptive, as well as the overall demand. The review included both published and grey literature, as well as conducting key informant interviews with local reproductive health experts. M&IHC then collaboratively developed 4 DMPA-SC qualitative research protocols designed to understand the motivations and barriers of consumers and health care providers regarding injectable contraception. With approval from PSI’s Research Ethics Board, the Ugandan Institutional Review Board (IRB), and the Nigerian IRB, the 4 research projects were executed. M&IHC provided technical assistance with the training of recruiters, phone recruitment of participants, and the interview execution process. Next, we led the comprehensive coding and analysis of 144 in-depth consumer interview transcripts from Uganda and Nigeria and wrote research reports. M&IHC participated in the DISC design learning team with PSI and Busara. Today, we are supporting the implementation of ongoing programmatic research, including co-designing multiple quantitative DMPA-SC research streams in both Nigeria and Uganda.

This qualitative research focused on creating recommendations to serve as an input for Digital Square at PATH’s leadership team’s creation of a 2023 initiative-wide strategy. M&IHC’s strategic planning qualitative research team revised Digital Square’s codebook and cross-coded multiple transcripts before coding all of the stakeholder interviews and focus groups. We then performed a thematic analysis, using cohesive themes to link coded data together. Finally, we synthesized the aforementioned data and summarized it into a presentation that was submitted to Digital Square to support their creation of a Digital Square Strategy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b52b96a9db0927a107b969/0f03ef0f-0e65-4d5a-bdf9-dc7279985c36/PATH+Careers+Page.png Strategic Planning - Digital Square at PATH - Communication Strategy M&IHC worked alongside leadership at Digital Square at PATH to create an organization-wide communications and engagement strategy. Through a resource review and over 15 stakeholder interviews, we understood Digital Square’s previous communications strategy’s intent and its execution. It was crucial that we learned and documented both the successes and challenges from as many key perspectives as possible in order to design the most strategic pathway forward. A cornerstone piece of this work was creating a job description for the now-current global communications lead. From there, we supported the development and adoption of a new communications and engagement strategy that aligned with the current Digital Square at PATH organizational strategy.

After developing a list of relevant organizations and individuals, M&IHC systematically contacted stakeholders for information which was reviewed and analyzed into an environmental scan report. This report was then paired with a comprehensive literature review on CBMNH globally. From there, M&IHC designed a roadmap outlining several pathways for next steps in the analysis of global CBMNH training programs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b52b96a9db0927a107b969/1619908055894-ZTSBB1EVRHZAH9ZBLAUJ/Photo+Jul+27%2C+4+51+05+AM+%281%29.jpg Environmental Scans - Sexual & Reproductive Health Stigma In collaboration with Women First Digital and PSI’s Women's Health Project, we executed a comprehensive environmental scan to understand, develop, and evaluate sexual and reproductive health (SRH) stigma reduction campaigns and interventions. This multi-step research process involved conducting 15 interviews and desk research. We identified SRH stigma reduction resources, interventions, and evaluation scales. Ultimately, the compiled information formed a SRH stigma resource table and a report. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b52b96a9db0927a107b969/1586324106813-9EGL09MYQCAJBP9HQ1JK/Malaria.jpg Environmental Scans - Malaria-Related Behavior in the Greater Mekong Subregion M&IHC conducted an exhaustive literature search and retrieval for PSI/Cambodia exploring malaria-related behaviors among mobile and migrant populations, including forest goers. This included reviewing both published and grey literature, emailing multiple stakeholders, and conducting one interview. The literature search and retrieval materials were compiled into 38 pages. This research was then synthesized into a 40-page report that included a summary of the literature and documented search strategies highlighting the exhaustive nature of the multi-level research methods. The report also identified key findings, gaps in current knowledge, and recommended areas for further research. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b52b96a9db0927a107b969/1587557697348-LWS7ECATHFBHNWSTR45T/India_weighingbaby_sized.png Environmental Scans - Multiple Micronutrient Supplements M&IHC researched and wrote a comprehensive landscape analysis for the Micronutrient Forum on global multiple micronutrient supplementation (MMS) titled “A Landscape Analysis of MMS Legislation, Activity, and Priorities.” M&IHC’s iterative process involved facilitating 23 virtual key informant interviews, summarizing a detailed review of journals and grey literature, conducting a systematic review of global nutrition policies, and writing two country case studies. This 58-page document was used as a pre-read for a M&IHC facilitated stakeholder consultation and was later shared widely with the nutrition community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b52b96a9db0927a107b969/efa105e3-cbca-42ba-9065-0b17d50db85a/Image+Source%3A+%C2%A9+UNICEF%3AUN0342483%3AKei%CC%88ta+.jpeg Environmental Scans - Micronutrient Forum: Global Child Diets M&IHC collaborated with the Micronutrient Forum to support a global child micronutrient diet alliance. M&IHC contributed to this through conducting a landscape review to identify relevant stakeholders and key actors, along with an overview of their activities and priorities. Key informant interviews with leaders in the micronutrient field were critical to this process. The landscape review included a theory of change, a joint statement, a list of critical barriers and enablers, a list of current and planned activities for participants, and a list of skills and knowledge gaps inhibiting progress in creating evidence-based interventions. In addition, M&IHC synthesized key documents on complementary feeding, highlighting specific priorities, challenges, gaps in knowledge, and success factors. This research and facilitation resulted in the “Synthesis of Evidence, Knowledge Gaps, and Priorities for Food-Based and Home-Fortification Interventions”.
