ABSTRACTRefugee health continues to be an important topic in domestic and foreign affairs. In Canada, the interim federal health program (IFHP) is what provides refugees with healthcare insurance. Since 2012, there have been a series of changes to the IFHP. Due to the precarious status of the IFHP over the past few years, there have been a number of challenges associated with it. This commentary provides a review of the IFHP’s history, outlines specific challenges that remain within the program, and puts forward potential solutions to those challenges. RÉSUMÉLa santé des réfugiés continue d’être un sujet important dans les affaires domestiques et étrangères. Au Canada, le programme fédéral de santé intérimaire (PFSI) est responsable de fournir l’assurance maladie aux réfugiés. Depuis 2012, il y a eu une série de changements au PFSI. Étant donné l’état précaire du PFSI au cours des dernières années, il existe un certain nombre de défis qui y sont associés. Ce commentaire fournit un aperçu de l’histoire du PFSI, souligne les défis précis qui persistent dans le programme, et propose des solutions potentielles à ces défis.

Abstract Primary Subject area Public Health and Preventive Medicine Background Canada is currently facing an increasing number of refugees and refugee claimants, yet Canadian health professionals are underutilizing the system intended to provide these individuals with healthcare. The Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP) provides temporary healthcare coverage for those who are ineligible for provincial or territorial insurance, including resettled refugees and asylum seekers. Research suggests there are ongoing challenges around the program such as who is covered and what services are covered. Objectives The objective of this study was to assess Canadian pediatricians’ current understanding and utilization of the IFHP, and perceived barriers to its utilization. Design/Methods A one-time survey was administered via the Canadian Paediatric Surveillance Program. The ten question adaptive survey was available in English or French, in either paper or electronic format. Survey responses were collected for 6 weeks in early 2020 with two reminders sent prior to survey closing. In addition to descriptive statistics, multinomial logistic regressions were built to examine pediatrician use of the IFHP, work with IFHP-covered patients, and provider characteristics associated with registration and use. Results Of the 2,753 pediatricians and pediatric subspecialists surveyed, there were 1006 respondents (36.5% response rate). 52.2% of respondents had provided care to the IFHP-eligible patients in the previous 6 months. Of those participants, only 26.4% were registered IFHP providers, and just 10% could identify all services covered by the IFHP (Figure 1). Knowledge of 80% or more of supplemental benefits was associated with registration status (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.92; 95% CI 1.09 - 3.37). Amongst those who knew they were not registered, 70.2% indicated they did not know they had to register. aOR demonstrated that those with fewer years of practice had higher odds of not knowing that they had to register (aOR 1.22; 95% CI 1.01 - 1.49) Conclusion We demonstrate that the IFHP is poorly utilized by pediatric providers, with low registration rates and poor understanding of the IFHP-covered supplemental services, even among those who have recently provided care to the IFHP-eligible patients. Efforts to improve registration and knowledge of the IFHP are essential to improving access to health care for refugee children and youth. Funding: Study funded by the CPSP Resident Research Grant

Introduction: In June 2012, the federal government made cuts to the Interim Federal Health (IFH) Program that reduced or eliminated health insurance for refugee claimants in Canada. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of the cuts on emergency department (ED) use among patients claiming IFH benefits. Methods: We conducted a health records review at two tertiary care EDs in Ottawa. We reviewed all ED visits wherein an IFH claim was made at triage, for 18 months before and 18 months after the changes to the program on June 30, 2012 (2011-2013). Claims made before and after the cuts were compared in terms of basic demographics, chief presenting complaints, acuity, diagnosis, presence of primary care, and financial status of the claim. Results: There were a total of 612 IFH claims made in the ED from 2011-2013. The demographic characteristics, acuity of presentation and discharge diagnosis were similar during both the before and after periods. Overall, 28.6% fewer claims were made under the IFH program after the cuts. Of the claims made, significantly more were rejected after the cuts than before (13.7% after vs. 3.9% before, p<0.05). The majority (75.0%) of rejected claims have not been paid by patients. Fewer patients after the cuts indicated that they had a family physician (20.4% after vs. 30% before, p<0.05) yet a higher proportion of these patients were still advised to follow up with their family doctor during the after period (67.2% after vs. 41.8% before, p<0.05). Conclusion: A higher proportion of both rejected and subsequently unpaid claims after the IFH cuts in June 2012 represents a potential barrier to emergency medical care, as well as a new financial burden to be shouldered by patients and hospitals. A reduction in IFH claims in the ED and a reduction in the number of patients with access to a family physician also suggests inadequate care for this population. Yet, the lack of primary care was not reflected in the follow-up advice offered by ED physicians to patients.

Abstract Introduction A common concern of federal funders and grant recipients is how to sustain program activities once their federal funding period ends. Federal funding can be intended to develop or seed a program but not necessarily to continue its activities indefinitely. Understanding the importance of programmatic sustainability, the Office of Population Affairs (OPA) conducted research in 2015 on the elements that contribute to sustainability. As part of the Sustainability Study, OPA collected information from former Pregnancy Assistance Fund (PAF) program grantees. Methods Grantees that were awarded cohort 1 PAF program funding (2010–2014) but not awarded cohort 2 funding (2014–2017) were eligible for study inclusion because their OPA funding ended more than 1 year prior to the Sustainability Study, allowing for an assessment of sustainability after federal funding. Seven former PAF grantees were identified as eligible. Interviews were conducted with six of these grantees; grant applications and interim final reports from all seven were reviewed. Results Five lessons emerged from interviews and review of grant documentation. Programs successfully continuing beyond the federal grant period tended to (1) diversify funding sources, (2) communicate regularly with key stakeholders, (3) form partnerships with like-minded programs, (4) consider implementing evidence-based interventions, and (5) begin planning for sustainability early. Discussion By considering these lessons learned from the research, grantees can be well positioned to continue beyond a federal grant period. The lessons garnered from the Sustainability Study have informed, expanded, and affirmed OPA’s sustainability toolkit, sustainability framework, and technical assistance.

Full textAbstract:
Since 1957 Canada’s Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP) has provided health-care coverage to refugee populations. However, from June 2012 to April 2016 the program was drastically revised in ways that restricted or denied access to health-care coverage, specifically to refugee claimants—persons who have fed their country and made an asylum claim in another country. One of the main intentions of the revision was to protect the integrity of Canada’s humanitarian refugee determination system. However, this had a major unintended consequence: within everyday healthcare places like walk-in clinics, doctor’s offices, and hospitals, IFHP recipients were denied access to services, regardless of actual levels of coverage. In this article I analyze how these program restrictions were experienced within Toronto’s everyday health-care places through the concept of irregularization. I discuss how the IFHP, as a humanitarian health-care program, problematizes the presence of refugee claimants in ways that created experiences of vulnerability, insecurity, and anxiety. Building on this view, I conclude with a discussion of how activists who sought to draw attention to the experiences of refugee claimants in the aftermath of the IFHP revisions closed of truly transformative pathways toward social justice.

Full textAbstract:
Afer years of cuts, Canada’s refugee health-care program, the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP), was fully restored in 2016. In this exploratory study, eleven semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with refugee service providers in the City of Ottawa to learn about their experience with the restored IFHP to date. Five themes emerged from the interviews: service provision challenges during the years of IFHP cuts; support for IFHP restoration; entitlement gaps in the current IFHP; ongoing confusion about the IFHP; and administrative barriers deterring health professionals from IFHP participation. More research is needed to determine whether the identifed challenges with the reinstated IFHP arise on a national scale.

Objetivo: Implantar ações de educação em saúde no Instituto Federal Farroupilha campus Alegrete (IFFAR/CA), integradas ao Programa Saúde na Escola (PSE), padronizando atividades, qualificando a assistência ao estudante e estimulando a prática dos temas transversais em saúde. Metodologia: A pesquisa foi realizada no IFFAR/CA com a participação de 80 estudantes do primeiro ano do curso médio integrado Técnico em Agropecuária e 31 docentes, em duas etapas, com abordagens quantitativa e quanti/qualitativa. A coleta de dados na primeira etapa (Componente I) foi através de análise documental do Prontuário Clínico Multiprofissional do seu setor de saúde, num estudo analítico descritivo transversal com abordagem quantitativa, e na segunda etapa (Componente II) a coleta de dados foi por intermédio de questionário on line semiestruturado autoaplicado nos docentes, num estudo exploratório descritivo com enfoque quanti-qualitativo. A interpretação dos dados do componente I foi através do software Excel® do Microsoft Office®, utilizando valores absolutos e relativos e medidas de frequência central, média e desvio padrão, para as variáveis pressão arterial, Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC), avaliação odontológica e avaliação psicológica. No componente II, os dados quantitativos foram processados por escalas de Likert, avaliados pela distribuição de frequências em cada resposta, enquanto os qualitativos foram interpretados pela análise temática de conteúdo de Bardin. Resultados:Os resultados no Componente I mostraram idade média dos estudantes de 15,3 anos, 56,25% (n=45) do gênero masculino,53,75% (n=43) moradores no alojamento do campus e 36,25% (n= 29)oriundos da cidade de Alegrete/RS. Quanto ao IMC, foi encontrada prevalência de 18,75% de sobrepeso e 6,25% de obesidade, maior no gênero feminino (20% e 11,4%) comparado ao masculino (17,8% e 2,2%). Foi diagnosticada uma estudante hipertensa (1,25%), e teve-se 7,5% de pré-hipertensos (somados os gêneros). Dos 68 estudantes que realizaram avaliação odontológica, 13% não necessitaram intervenção, 50% realizaram limpeza e 36,8%, restauração. 16,2% (n=11) dos estudantes foram encaminhados para avaliação odontológica externa, a maioria do gênero feminino (tratamento ortodôntico). Dos 43,75% (n=35) dos estudantes avaliados pelo setor de psicologia, 20%(n=16)era por queixas de pais ou professores de falta de interesse ou problemas de rendimento em sala de aula e 17,5%(n=14) procuraram espontaneamente.No componente II, 28,2% (n=31) dos docentes respondeu ao questionário; destes, 54,8% (n=17)do gênero feminino e 54,8% (n=17)na faixa etária entre30 a 39 anos. 54,8% formados há pelo menos 07 anos, 54,9% tem mestrado e 25,8%, doutorado. Os dados qualitativos mostraram que estes têm interesse em trabalhar temas de saúde com auxílio dos profissionais da área na instituição, de forma inovadora e continuada, interdisciplinar e multi/interprofissional, e os temas sugeridos por eles espelham os propostos pelo Programa Saúde na Escola.Considerações Finais: Verificou-se que as ações do PSE poderiam ser padrão institucional de atividades do setor de saúde, configurando-se como oportunidade de atender o princípio da integralidade, articulando o trabalho de profissionais de saúde e educação, desenvolvendo ações mais focadas na promoção da saúde e permitindo ampliar o cuidado ao adolescente, potencializando as singularidades e o desempenho escolar.Objective: To implement education in health actions in the Federal Institute Farroupilha Alegrete campus (IFFAR / CA), integrated to the Health in School Program (PSE), standardizing activities, qualifying student assistance and stimulating the practice of themes Cross-sectional studies on health. Methodology: The research was carried out at IFFAR / CA and counted with80 students of the first year of the integrated technical course in Agriculture and 31 teachers, into two stages, with quantitative and quantitative / qualitative approaches. Data collection in the first stage (Component I) was performed through documentary analysis of the Multiprofessional Clinical Record of the institution's health sector, in a descriptive cross-sectional analytical study with a quantitative approach, and in the second stage (Component II) data collection was carried out through a semi structured online selfadministered questionnaire in the teachers, in a descriptive exploratory study with quantitative-qualitative approaches. The interpretation of the data of Component I was performed using Excel® software of Microsoft Office®, using absolute and relative values and measures of central frequency, mean and standard deviation, for the variables blood pressure, Body Mass Index (BMI) , dental evaluation and psychological evaluation. In Component II, quantitative data were processed using Likert scales, evaluated by the frequency distribution in each of the responses, while the qualitative data were interpreted by the thematic content analysis of Bardin. Results: Component I showed that the mean age of the students is 15.3 years, 56.25% (n = 45) are males, 53.75% (n = 43) of them are Campus and 36.25% (n = 29) come from the city of Alegrete / RS. In BMI, a prevalence of 18.75% of overweight and 6.25% of obesity was found, higher in females (20% and 11.4%) than males (17.8% and 2.2%). One hypertensive student (1.25%) was diagnosed, and students of both genders had 7.5% of pre-hypertensive individuals. Of the 68 students who underwent dental evaluation, 13% did not require intervention, 50% performed cleaning and 36.8%, restoration. 16.2% (n = 11) of the students were referred for external dental evaluation, most of them female (orthodontic treatment). 43.75% (n = 35) of the students were evaluated by the psychology sector, 20% (n = 16) for complaints of parents or teachers lacking interest or problems in classroom performance and 17.5% = 14) spontaneously sought. In Component II, 28.2% (n = 31) of the teachers answered the questionnaire; of these, 54.8% (n = 17) are female and 54.8% (n = 17) are in the age group between 30 and 39 years. 54.8% have been formed for at least 7 years, 54.9% have a master's degree and 25.8% have a PhD. Qualitative data showed that teachers have an interest in working on health topics, with the help of professionals in the area in the institution, in an innovative and continuous, interdisciplinary and multiprofessional way, and the themes suggested by them reflect those proposed by the Health in School Program. Final Considerations: It was verified that the actions of the PSE could be the institutional standard of activities of the health sector, being configured as an opportunity to meet the principle of integrality, articulating the work of health professionals and education, developing more focused actions in health promotion and allowing the expansion of adolescent care, enhancing singularities and school performance.

Among the various areas of knowledge, health sciences represent a branch in which the exchange of experiences among researchers has been crucial for improving the quality of life of populations. It is known that scientific journals have exactly this purpose, and therefore are adequate resources to the dissemination of science and technology and have the audience academics, scientists and researchers. This dissertation aimed to: map the internal collaborative network among teachers / lecturers and teachers / masters from scientific articles in the Graduate Program in Health Sciences UFAL in the period from 2008 to 2011. Make up the work three parts: the first contained the problem, justifications, objectives and even description of the methodological procedures adopted in the research. In the second, we present the theoretical framework of information science and scientific communication, the collaborative network science and information technology and scientific journals. The third presents the analysis and discussion of the data from the production of general and individual papers by the faculty of databases and journals. The research corresponded to the resumes of the 98 components of lattes PPGCS-UFAL (teachers and masters), between 2008 and 2011, identifying a total of 157 articles in the four researched. The information about the sources of indexing journal articles and occurrence in national and international journals were identified from the databases of SciELO and Virtual Health Library (VHL). The results showed that the network of internal collaboration among teachers is around 47.4%, ie, nine of the 19 teachers jointly published; collaborative network of students and involved 19% of all masters, ie, only 15 have published in co-authoring in PPGCS in the investigated period. It was felt that the collaborative network of PPGCS-UFAL has intensified, however, the production of articles not accompanying this evolution.

Sabe-se que as revistas científicas possuem exatamente este objetivo, e, portanto, são recursos adequados à divulgação da ciência e tecnologia e têm como público-alvo os acadêmicos, cientistas e pesquisadores. A presente dissertação teve por objetivo: mapear a rede colaborativa interna entre os docentes/docentes e docentes/mestrandos a partir da produção de artigos científicos no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciências da Saúde da UFAL, no período de 2008 a 2011. Compõem o trabalho três partes: na primeira constam o problema, as justificativas, os objetivos e ainda descrição dos procedimentos metodológicos adotados na pesquisa. Na segunda, apresentam-se o referencial teórico sobre a ciência da informação e a comunicação científica, a rede colaborativa na ciência e a tecnologia da informação e os periódicos científicos. A terceira, apresenta a análise e discussão dos dados, a partir da produção geral e individual de artigos científicos pelos docentes e das bases de dados das revistas. O universo da pesquisa correspondeu aos currículos lattes dos 98 componentes do PPGCS-UFAL (docentes e mestrandos), entre 2008 e 2011, identificando-se um total de 157 artigos no quadriênio pesquisado. As informações acerca das fontes de indexação das revistas e a ocorrência de artigos em revistas nacionais e internacionais foram identificadas das bases de dados da Scielo e da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS). Os resultados evidenciaram que a rede de colaboração interna entre os docentes gira em torno de 47,4%, ou seja, nove dos 19 docentes publicaram em conjunto; e a rede colaborativa dos discentes envolveu 19% do total dos mestrandos, ou seja, apenas 15 deles publicaram em coautoria no PPGCS no período investigado. Percebeu-se que a rede colaborativa do PPGCS-UFAL vem se intensificando, todavia, a produção de artigos não acompanha essa evolução.

Master of Public Health - MPHThe Health Extension Program (HEP) is an innovative, community based comprehensive primary health care program that Ethiopia introduced in 2003. It gives special emphasis to the provision of preventive and promotive services at community and household level. However, utilization of the HEP packages is low and reasons for this underutilization are not well known. The aim of this study is to assess the availability and utilization of the Health Extension Program Service in Akaki District of Oromia Region, Ethiopia. Quantitative study using a cross-sectional survey design. The study was conducted in Akaki District of Oromia Regional State in Ethiopia with 79,162 inhabitants. Random sampling was used to select 355 households. A structured data collection tool/ questionnaire was employed to collect data from the study participants. Data were analyzed using SPSS for Windows version 19. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze socio demographic characteristics of the study participants and to assess the availability and utilization of each service component. The response rate of the study was 100% with complete data obtained from 335 (94.4%) of the households. The majority (93.1%) of respondents were women. The availability of HEP services as described by the household visit of Health Extension Workers (HEWs) is very high with 86.6% visiting at least monthly and 11.3% visited sometimes. There was a highly significant association between the health extension workers’ visit to households and health extension service utilization during pregnancy (OR=16.913, 95% CI 8.074-35.427 at p<0.001). HIV testing utilization showed a tenfold increase among households who received education. Participation of households in the Model family initiative was another key factor associated with high levels of HEP services utilization. Though HEP services are available for most households, the frequency of household visits by HEWs and the involvement of Households in model family training greatly influenced service utilization. Improving frequency of services availability at household level and consistent health education will greatly improve services utilization.

Pertencente ao Programa de Pós-Graduação de Mestrado em Educação da FCT/UNESP de Presidente Prudente, São Paulo, e inserido na linha de pesquisa “Processos Formativos, Diferenças e Valores”, a pesquisa investigou os cadernos didáticos disponibilizado pelos Ministérios da Saúde e da Educação responsáveis pelo Programa Saúde e Prevenção nas Escolas. Sua finalidade consistiu em traçar uma análise crítica, dentro da perspectiva da governantabilidade de Michel Foucault, sobre as práticas discursivas da prevenção verificáveis no material didático deste programa. Com o governamento nas escolas elencado como problema metodológico, tais práticas foram analisadas através dos eixos categóricos aqui denominados “Virtudes, Silêncios e Esperas”, de modo a se verificar o que foi acrescido de modo positivo por estas políticas, o que restou intocado e o que em termos de urgências e demandas resta inconcluso. Como resultado, tem-se que, apesar do cuidado com a elaboração de uma linguagem não sexista, bem como o destaque dado a temática da homofobia em relação aos direitos sexuais, no tocante a saúde sexual, o que se percebeu foi uma medicalização do entendimento das garantias de tratamento não discriminatório ao se aproximar de modo excessivo, a vivência da sexualidade tutelada pelos limites do risco/doença/prevenção das DST/AIDS. Tal apropriação dos direitos sexuais da população estudante, em especial da população LGBT, não pode deixar de ser vista como uma inversão das garantias de igualdade. Ao final é feita uma reflexão sobre governamento, sujeição e autonomia. O que se constatou foi uma progressiva visão clínica capilarizada no material didático analisado, e de como essa ótica foi condiciona à sexualidade dentro de termos epidemiológicos de risco/doença/prevenção.
Pertaining to the Postgraduate Master's Program in Education FCT / Presidente Prudente UNESP, São Paulo, and inserted in the research line "Formative Processes, Differences and Values", the study has investigated the didactic books provided by the Ministries of Health and Education responsible for Health and Prevention Program in Schools.Its intended purpose was to draw a critical analysis, from the perspective of government of Michel Foucault on the discursive practices of verifiable prevention in the teaching material of this program. With government as a methodological problem, such practices were analyzed by the categorical axes here called "Virtues, Silences and Waits" in order to check what was added in a positive way by these policies, which remained untouched and what in terms of urgency and demands remains unfinished. As a result it has been that, despite the care with the development of non-sexist language and the emphasis the issue of homophobia in relation to sexual rights regarding sexual health, which was perceived was the medicalization of understanding of non-discriminatory treatment of guarantees approaching excessively, the experience of sexuality tutored by the limits of risk / disease / STD / AIDS. This ownership of the sexual rights of the student population, especially the LGBT population, can not but be seen as a reversal of the guarantees of equality. It concludes by reflecting on governamento, subjection and autonomy. What was found was a progressive-lined clinical view in the analyzed teaching materials, and how this perspective was conditioned sexuality in epidemiological terms of risk / disease / prevention.

Previous issue date: 2009Este estudo analisa a atenção primária na política nacional de saúde brasileira no período de 2003 a 2008, a partir da compreensão da inserção dessa política na nova agenda federal que se inicia com a ascensão de Lula à presidência da república. A metodologia do estudo se baseou no marco teórico do institucionalismo histórico e no conceito de path-dependence, compreendendo uma diversidade de estratégias, tais como: realização de revisão bibliográfica; análise documental; análise de bases de dadossecundários; análise orçamentária e realização de sete entrevistas com atores-chave. A pesquisa identificou elementos de continuidade e mudança na condução federal da política nacional de atenção primária à saúde (APS) no governo Lula. Dentre as estratégiasfederais prioritárias no âmbito da APS, identificou-se a ênfase no Programa de Saúde da Família (PSF), que permanece ao longo de todo o período analisado. Entretanto, observou-se no período de 2003 a 2005 a presença de visões distintas em relação ao modelo de atenção básica e a inserção do PSF, enquanto no período seguinte, 2006 a 2008, houve a reafirmação deste programa como a estratégia prioritária de organização da APS no país. A inovação mais expressiva pode ser atribuída à criação dos Núcleos de Apoio à Saúde da Família. No que concerne ao modelo de intervenção do gestor federal nesta política específica, destaca-se o papel residual de execução direta das ações e serviços de saúde,fragilidades no que diz respeito ao planejamento e ênfase na regulação e no papel de financiador de programas e políticas. Em todo o período analisado a formulação da política de APS no âmbito nacional foi amplamente compartilhada com os diferentes atores nos espaçosformais de pactuação e deliberação.
Avanços ocorreram no que diz respeito à APS no governo Lula. Foi possível observar além de elementos de continuidade, mudanças incrementais e algumas inovações importantes, tais como a ampliação da cobertura e do escopo das ações no âmbito da atenção primária à saúde, ainda que desafios antigos não tenham sido superados.
This study examines the primary care in the Brazilian national health policy between 2003 and 2008, from the understanding of the integration agenda of the new federal policy that begins with the rise of Lula to the presidency of the republic. The methodology of the study was based on the theoretical framework of historical institutionalism and the concept of path-dependence, including a variety of strategies, such as: completion of literature review, document analysis, analysis of secondary databases, budget analysis and execution of seven interviews with key actors. The study identified elements of continuity and change in the conduct of the federal policy of primary health care (PHC) in the Lula government. Among the strategies under the federal priority APS, identified to focus on the Family Health Program (FHP), which remains throughout the period analyzed. However, it was observed between 2003 and 2005 the presence of different views on the model of primary care and integration of the FHP, while the following period, from 2006 to 2008, there was the reaffirmation of this program as a strategic priority for the organization of the PHC in the country. The most significant innovation can be attributed to the creation of Centers of Support for Family Health (NASF). Regarding the model of the authorizing federal intervention in this specific policy, there is the role of residual direct implementation of activities and health services, weaknesses in regard to planning and emphasis on the role of regulation and funding of programs and policies. Throughout the period analyzed the formulation of policy at the national PHC was widely shared with all actors in the areas of agreement and formal approval. Progress occurred in respect of APS in the Lula government. It was observed in addition to elements of continuity, incremental changes and some important innovations, such as expansion of coverage and scope of actions within the primary health care, though not old challenges have been overcome.

Within the Public Administration, control is a basic premise for the verification of the correct application of the resources originating from taxes you pay. Because of that, every state entity is subject to appropriate accountability to any remedy being used by the observation of the principles of constitutional legality, impersonality, morality, transparency and efficiency. Article 74 of the present Constitution stipulates that the authorities should adopt integrated system of internal control in order to, among other purposes, prevent waste or misuse to ensure minimum conditions for the accomplishment of what has been planned by management. In such context, this research seeks to answer how the actions of internal control are being implemented by the Bureau of Human Resources of the Federal University of Ceará - SRH / UFC, under the Health Insurance Program of the Servant, about safety of operations, achievement of the goals of the Program and its guiding principles. Facing this challenge, the main objective of this research is to examine if the legal rules established by the Federal Government for the implementation of the Program of Assistance for Supplemental Health of the Servant are being satisfactorily met by the superintendent of Human Resources of Federal University of Ceará (UFC-SRH), comparing the degree of alignment to the goals and principles of internal control, applicable to public administration. The methodology consisted of direct observation of bureaucratic routine, verification of official documents, examination of the adopted procedures, and implementation of the census questionnaire among managers within the SRH / UFC and stratified random sample of servants that comprise the target audience of additional health policy at UFC. It is concluded that there is a need to review the actions of internal control adopted in the management of the Program of Assistance for supplementary health of the servant, due to the occurrence of situations outside the applicable legal standard, the low level of automation of procedures and security of payments made; low efficacy of the health care market in relation to the stated objectives and instruments of communication between managers as well as within teams and the servants.
No âmbito da Administração Pública, o controle é premissa básica para a verificação da correta aplicação dos recursos provenientes de impostos e taxas que se paga. Em sendo assim, todo ente estatal está submetido à obrigatoriedade de prestar contas de qualquer recurso de que se utilize, observando os princípios constitucionais da legalidade, impessoalidade, moralidade, publicidade e eficiência. O Artigo 74 da atual Carta Constitucional determina que os Poderes adotem sistema integrado de controle interno para que, dentre outras finalidades, evitem desperdícios ou desvios e assegurem condições mínimas de realização do que foi planejado pela gestão. Em tal contexto, esta pesquisa busca responder de que modo as ações de controle interno estão sendo implementadas pela Superintendência de Recursos Humanos da Universidade Federal do Ceará – SRH/UFC, no âmbito do Programa de Saúde Suplementar do Servidor, quanto à segurança das operações, alcance dos objetivos do Programa e seus princípios norteadores. Ante esse questionamento, tem-se como objetivo geral: examinar se as normas legais fixadas pelo Governo Federal para a execução do Programa de Assistência à Saúde Suplementar do Servidor estão sendo satisfatoriamente cumpridas pela Superintendência de Recursos Humanos da Universidade Federal do Ceará (SRH-UFC), observando o grau de alinhamento aos objetivos e princípios de controle interno aplicável a gestão pública. A metodologia constou da observação direta da rotina burocrática; verificação de documentos oficiais; exame dos procedimentos adotados; aplicação de questionário censitário entre os gestores no âmbito da SRH/UFC e por amostra aleatória estratificada de servidores que integram o público-alvo da política de saúde suplementar na UFC. Conclui a necessidade de revisão nas ações de controle interno adotadas na gestão do Programa de Assistência a Saúde Suplementar do Servidor, por conta da ocorrência de situações à margem da norma legal aplicável; do baixo nível de automação dos procedimentos e de segurança dos pagamentos realizados; baixa eficácia do modelo de saúde suplementar em relação às metas previstas e dos instrumentos de comunicação intraequipe dos gestores e entre essa equipe e os servidores.

AbstractThis chapter discusses in detail the procedure followed to identify a 1-in-10 sample of persons born between 1870 and 1899 who resided in the United States at the time of their death at ages 105–109 for men and 108 or 109 for women. We tabulate the characteristics of these “semi-supercentenarians” and offer some observations about the level of their mortality. The procedure for identifying semi-supercentenarians consists of (1) casting a net to find candidates and then (2) determining for which candidates can both date of birth and date of death be validated. The net used to find candidates in the United States is different from the nets typically used in other counties: in the United States we use the file of enrollments in the federal government’s Medicare health insurance program. Some of the information needed for the verification step comes from another administrative file – the Social Security Administration’s file of applications for a new or replacement social security card. Verification of the date of death is accomplished by querying the National Death Index. Dates of birth are verified by using online resources to access the records of several censuses conducted many decades earlier.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter addresses the issue of health care for low-income people. The United States, virtually alone among developed nations, does not offer universal access to health care, leaving many millions of individuals without health insurance or other means of obtaining necessary medical services. In 2010, Congress enacted the landmark Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA)—popularly known as “Obamacare”—marking an important but incomplete response to the nation’s health care crisis. This chapter examines the ACA in detail, including its impact on Medicaid and Medicare, the major government health programs in the United States, its creation of Health Insurance Exchanges and tax credits to help low-income households obtain private health coverage, and the reform of private health insurance markets through a patient’s bill of rights, which, among other measures, prohibits insurance companies from refusing coverage for preexisting medical conditions. Perhaps the most critical aspect of the ACA was its expansion of Medicaid to cover virtually all low-income citizens (and certain immigrants) who do not qualify for other health coverage. Although several states opted out of the ACA’s Medicaid expansion, the Medicaid program nevertheless remains the largest single provider of health coverage in the United States. This chapter also provides a detailed description of Medicaid, its eligibility criteria and scope of coverage; the Child Health Insurance Program (CHIP), a government-funded health insurance program for children in households with too much income to qualify for Medicaid; and Medicare, the federal health insurance program for aged, blind, and disabled individuals.

Full textAbstract:
Given the prominence of rural communities in early 21st-century broadband initiatives, especially in telemedicine, this chapter considers issues for program evaluation in both the geographic and health policy contexts. Rural broadband and health needs are important challenges for public policy, as less populated regions lag in both infrastructure and health services. Some Federal Communications Commission projects have linked broadband capabilities and health services infrastructure. Electronic health records also are relevant to a discussion of the role of broadband networks. This chapter briefly reviews the language and intent of broadband-related health services regulations and federal agency programs and then presents detail on rural broadband availability and adoption. Finally, measurement and evaluation issues in this field are addressed, including the need to understand constraints in the rural context, meaningful use for target populations, issues for privacy and security, and the need for randomized trials rather than the anecdotal evidence that currently dominates in this area.

Full textAbstract:
The official birthdate of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is December 2, 1970. On that day the Senate confirmed William Ruckelshaus, President Nixon’s nominee to be the administrator of the new agency, and the “EPA opened for business in a tiny suite of offices at 20th and L Streets in Northwest Washington, DC.” The new agency took over programs and offices related to environmental protection previously operating in the Department of the Interior, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, the Food and Drug Administration, the Atomic Energy Commission, and the Federal Radiation Council. In this chapter, we examine and attempt to explain what happened to this major regulatory agency over the forty-year period from its birth in 1970 to 2010. In doing so, we test hypotheses that follow from the four categories of theoretical agency life cycle models introduced in Chapter 3. These models differ in their predictions for the trajectories of federal agencies. The biological model predicts that agencies will grow rapidly during their early life before reaching a relatively stable maturity. Over subsequent decades agencies may carry on indefinitely with declining vigor, or be absorbed into other agencies, or die, although scholars debate both the process and probability of agency mortality. The partisan political model predicts a more turbulent life history for agencies in which changing party control of Congress and the White House will buffet government organizations more or less routinely. According to this model, federal agencies will often be caught in the middle of partisan ideological battles over the importance and value of the social functions they were created to address. The incremental model suggests that the best predictor of how agencies will fare in the near future is how they have fared in the recent past. That is, agencies tend to be insulated from external political and economic fluctuations and therefore generally experience relatively minor changes over time to their budgets and operations. The issue-attention model predicts that agencies’ fortunes are tied to the vagaries of current events.

Full textAbstract:
The Low-Level Radioactive Waste Management Office was established in 1982 to carry out the federal government’s responsibilities for low-level radioactive (LLR) waste management in Canada. In this capacity, the Office operates programs to characterize, delineate, decontaminate and consolidate historic LLR waste for interim and long-term storage. The Office is currently the proponent of the Port Hope Area Initiative; a program directed at the development and implementation of a safe, local long-term management solution for historic LLR waste in the Port Hope area. A legal agreement between the Government of Canada and the host community provides the framework for the implementation of the Port Hope Project. Specifically, the agreement requires that the surface of the long-term LLR waste management facility be “conducive to passive and active recreational uses such as soccer fields and baseball diamonds.” However, there are currently no examples of licensed LLR waste management facilities in Canada that permit recreational use. Such an end use presents challenges with respect to engineering and design, health and safety and landscape planning. This paper presents the cover system design, the environmental effects assessment and the landscape planning processes that were undertaken in support of the recreational end use of the Port Hope long-term LLR waste management facility.

Full textAbstract:
Canada’s Low-Level Radioactive Waste Management Office (LLRWMO) continues to make significant progress toward the remediation of orphan sites contaminated with historic Low Level Radioactive (LLR) waste. Since its establishment in 1982, the LLRWMO, which is operated by Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, has acted as the agent of the federal government in this area, taking policy and priority direction from the federal department of Natural Resources Canada. The LLRWMO has investigated and decontaminated structures and properties at many sites across the country. It has removed contaminated soil, debris and radioactive artifacts to interim storage or interim, in situ containment. It has worked with communities and regulatory agencies to develop locally acceptable waste management solutions for the short- and long-term. This paper provides an update on the progress of environmental remediation programs and projects of the LLRWMO made since the last reporting at the Sixth ICEM Conference in Singapore in 1997. Emphasis is placed upon the areas of sustained interim waste management and community problem solving in this period. In addition, comment is provided on the future of the program. On behalf of the federal government, the LLRWMO was appointed in 2000 July to act as the proponent for the Port Hope Area Initiative (PHAI), a ten-year $260 M undertaking that will see historic LLR wastes currently found in various community locations consolidated into safe, long-term management facilities, yielding environmental benefits for present and future generations. This activity is breaking new ground in the implementation of community recommended solutions and signals the way forward in Canada’s historic waste program.

Full textAbstract:
Section 388 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct) amended the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA) to grant the U.S. Department of the Interior (USDOI) discretionary authority to issue leases, easements, or rights-of-way for activities on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) that produce or support production, transportation, or transmission of energy from sources other than oil and gas, except for where activities are already otherwise authorized in other applicable law (e.g., the Deepwater Port Act of 1974 (33 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.), the Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion Act of 1980 (42 U.S.C. 9101 et seq.)) [1]. This authority was delegated to the Minerals Management Service (MMS), which was charged with developing regulations intended to encourage orderly, safe, and environmentally responsible development of alternative energy resources and alternate use of facilities on the OCS. MMS published its Alternative Energy/Alternate Use proposed rule in the Federal Register in July 2008 for public comment and held a series of public workshops to discuss the proposed regulations. The final regulations were submitted to the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (USOMB) on November 3, 2008 for clearance. In advance of final regulations, MMS announced an interim policy in November 2007 to authorize offshore data collection and technology testing activities in Federal waters. This measure was designed to allow developers to jumpstart data collection activities in support of potential future alternative energy development once regulations are in place. MMS has worked very closely with its State and Federal counterparts in implementing the interim policy, which has progressed most expeditiously on the Atlantic Coast. The interim policy is in effect until the MMS promulgates final rules. Beyond the MMS leasing process, several other Federal entities are involved in the permitting and licensing of alternative energy in the offshore environment, including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), and the Federal Aviation Administration (USFAA), among others. This paper will discuss the history of MMS’ program and policy development for offshore alternative energy activities; the steps taken to arrive at final regulations; as well as note the other regulatory bodies involved in the authorization of these activities in U.S. Federal waters.

In ASME 2003 9th International Conference on Radioactive Waste Management and Environmental Remediation. ASMEDC, 2003. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/icem2003-4796.
Full textAbstract:
Northwest Russia contains large quantities of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) that potentially threaten the environmental security of the surrounding Arctic Region. The majority of the SNF from Russian decommissioned nuclear submarines is currently stored either onboard submarines or in floating storage vesssels in Northwest Russia. Some of the SNF is damaged, stored in an unstable condition, or of a type that cannot currently be reprocessed. Most of the existing storage facilities being used in Northwest Russia do not meet health and safety and physical security requirements. Existing Russian transport infrastructure and reprocessing facilities cannot meet the requirements for moving and reprocessing this fuel. Therefore, additional interim storage capacity is required. The removal, handling, interim storage, and shipment of the fuel pose technical, ecological, and security challenges. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Defense and the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory, along with the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment, is working closely with the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Atomic Energy of the Russian Federation (RF) to develop an improved and integrated management system for interim storage of military SNF in NW Russia. The cooperative effort consists of three subprojects involving the development of: (1) a prototype dual-purpose, metal-concrete container for both transport and long-term storage of RF military SNF, (2) the first transshipment/interim storage facility for these containers, and (3) improved fuel preparation and cask loading procedures and systems to control the moisture levels within the containers. The first subproject, development of a prototype dual-purpose container, was completed in December 2000. This was the first metal-concrete container developed, licensed, and produced in Russia for both the transportation and storage of military SNF. These containers are now in serial production. Russia plans to use these containers for the transport and interim storage of military SNF from decommissioned nuclear submarines at naval installations in the Arctic and Far East. The second subproject, the design, construction, and licensing of the first transshipment/interim storage facility in Russia, was completed in September 2003. This facility can provide interim storage for up to nineteen 40-tonne SNF containers filled with SNF for a period not to exceed two years. The primary objective of building this transshipment/interim storage facility in Murmansk, Russia was to remove a bottleneck in the RF transportation infrastructure for moving containers, loaded with SNF, from the arctic region to PO “Mayak” for reprocessing or longer-term storage. The third subproject addresses the need to improve fuel conditioning and cask operating procedures to ensure safe storage of SNF for at least 50 years. This will involve the review and improvement of existing RF procedures and systems for preparing and loading the fuel in the specially designed casks for transport and long-term storage. This subproject is scheduled for completion in December 2003. Upon completion, these subprojects are designed to provide a physically secure, accountable, and environmentally sound integrated solution that will increase the capacity for removal and transfer of SNF from decommissioned RF submarines in the Russian Federation to PO “Mayak” in central Russia.

Currently, assessing the effectiveness of financing government program is a topical issue in theory and practice, since the level of health care development is directly related to the level of socio-economic development of the region. The goal of the research is development of methodological tools for efficiency assessment of the implementation of government program in the health sector, focused on quality improvement of life of the population. The methodological basis of the research is general scientific methods of comparison, analysis, synthesis, tabular representation of data. The methodological toolkit has been tested using official data from the Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation for 2018-2019. The result of the work is development of distribution matrix of Russia’s regions for certain segments. The aim of the distribution is ranking regions and makes it possible to identify subjects with a high, medium and low level of effectiveness of program implementation.

Abstract The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has been participating with the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Aerospace Industry Steering Committee (AISC) to develop a methodology for calculating the Probability of Detection (POD) for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) for damage detection on commercial aviation. Two POD methodologies were developed: one by Dr. William Meeker, Iowa State University, and the other by Dennis Roach, Sandia National Laboratories (SNL). With Dr. Seth Kessler, Metis Design Corp, a test program of 24 samples of aluminum strips to be fatigued on MTS machines was developed. The samples were designed to meet the ASTM E647. Twelve samples had two SHM modalities on the front and back from Metis (PZT and carbon nanotubes), and the other twelve had SHM sensors from Structural Monitoring Systems (SMS) (comparative vacuum monitoring – CVM) and Acellent Technologies (PZT). The tests were performed at the FAA William J Hughes Technical Center in Atlantic City, NJ. The samples were cycled every 1500 cycles and then stopped for SHM data collection. Once the crack exceeded 0.125 inches and provided for a minimum of 15 inspections, a new sample was tested until all 12 samples were completed. The data was provided to each company to be set up in the format needed to run through the POD methodologies. Then the data was provided to Dr. Meeker and Dr. Roach for analysis. This paper will provide the results of those tests.

Full textAbstract:
The North American plains bison once numbered in the tens of millions, but only around 1,000 individuals remained by the late 1800s. Through the actions of private individuals and organizations, the establishment of a few protected, federally managed, herds saved the subspecies from extinction and today the Department of the Interior (DOI) supports ap-proximately 11,000 plains bison in 19 herds across 12 states. DOI chartered the Bison Conservation Initiative in 2008, which established a framework for bison conservation and restoration on appropriate lands within the species’ histori-cal range. With the recent announcement of the 2020 DOI Bison Conservation Initiative, DOI outlined a diverse range of accomplishments made under the 2008 Initiative and re-affirmed the commitment to work with partners in support of managing bison as native wildlife. Both the 2008 and 2020 DOI Bison Conservation Initiatives endorse a holistic approach, addressing health and genetic considerations, and recommend managing DOI bison herds together as a metapopulation to conserve genetic diversity by restoring gene flow. Bison conservation and restoration efforts must consider the significance of disease in bison herds and apply a multi-jurisdictional, multi-stakeholder approach to the management of bison on large landscapes. Robust herd health surveillance programs, both in the donor and recipient herds, along with strong partnerships and communication, are needed to protect the century-long success of DOI bison conservation and stewardship. This report discusses overarching principles affecting bison health decisions in DOI herds and provides detailed baseline herd health history and management, providing a foundation upon which the 2020 Bison Conservation Initiative vision for DOI bison stewardship can be realized.

Improving Rural Health Through Telehealth-Guided Provider-to-Provider Communication. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, December 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.23970/ahrqepccer254.
Full textAbstract:
Objectives. To assess the use, effectiveness, and implementation of telehealth-supported provider-to-provider communication and collaboration for the provision of healthcare services to rural populations and to inform a scientific workshop convened by the National Institutes of Health Office of Disease Prevention on October 12–14, 2021. Data sources. We conducted a comprehensive literature search of Ovid MEDLINE®, CINAHL®, Embase®, and Cochrane CENTRAL. We searched for articles published from January 1, 2015, to October 12, 2021, to identify data on use of rural provider-to-provider telehealth (Key Question 1) and the same databases for articles published January 1, 2010, to October 12, 2021, for studies of effectiveness and implementation (Key Questions 2 and 3) and to identify methodological weaknesses in the research (Key Question 4). Additional sources were identified through reference lists, stakeholder suggestions, and responses to a Federal Register notice. Review methods. Our methods followed the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Methods Guide (available at https://effectivehealthcare.ahrq.gov/topics/cer-methods-guide/overview) and the PRISMA reporting guidelines. We used predefined criteria and dual review of abstracts and full-text articles to identify research results on (1) regional or national use, (2) effectiveness, (3) barriers and facilitators to implementation, and (4) methodological weakness in studies of provider-to-provider telehealth for rural populations. We assessed the risk of bias of the effectiveness studies using criteria specific to the different study designs and evaluated strength of evidence (SOE) for studies of similar telehealth interventions with similar outcomes. We categorized barriers and facilitators to implementation using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) and summarized methodological weaknesses of studies. Results. We included 166 studies reported in 179 publications. Studies on the degree of uptake of provider-to-provider telehealth were limited to specific clinical uses (pharmacy, psychiatry, emergency care, and stroke management) in seven studies using national or regional surveys and claims data. They reported variability across States and regions, but increasing uptake over time. Ninety-seven studies (20 trials and 77 observational studies) evaluated the effectiveness of provider-to-provider telehealth in rural settings, finding that there may be similar rates of transfers and lengths of stay with telehealth for inpatient consultations; similar mortality rates for remote intensive care unit care; similar clinical outcomes and transfer rates for neonates; improvements in medication adherence and treatment response in outpatient care for depression; improvements in some clinical monitoring measures for diabetes with endocrinology or pharmacy outpatient consultations; similar mortality or time to treatment when used to support emergency assessment and management of stroke, heart attack, or chest pain at rural hospitals; and similar rates of appropriate versus inappropriate transfers of critical care and trauma patients with specialist telehealth consultations for rural emergency departments (SOE: low). Studies of telehealth for education and mentoring of rural healthcare providers may result in intended changes in provider behavior and increases in provider knowledge, confidence, and self-efficacy (SOE: low). Patient outcomes were not frequently reported for telehealth provider education, but two studies reported improvement (SOE: low). Evidence for telehealth interventions for other clinical uses and outcomes was insufficient. We identified 67 program evaluations and qualitative studies that identified barriers and facilitators to rural provider-to-provider telehealth. Success was linked to well-functioning technology; sufficient resources, including time, staff, leadership, and equipment; and adequate payment or reimbursement. Some considerations may be unique to implementation of provider-to-provider telehealth in rural areas. These include the need for consultants to better understand the rural context; regional initiatives that pool resources among rural organizations that may not be able to support telehealth individually; and programs that can support care for infrequent as well as frequent clinical situations in rural practices. An assessment of methodological weaknesses found that studies were limited by less rigorous study designs, small sample sizes, and lack of analyses that address risks for bias. A key weakness was that studies did not assess or attempt to adjust for the risk that temporal changes may impact the results in studies that compared outcomes before and after telehealth implementation. Conclusions. While the evidence base is limited, what is available suggests that telehealth supporting provider-to-provider communications and collaboration may be beneficial. Telehealth studies report better patient outcomes in some clinical scenarios (e.g., outpatient care for depression or diabetes, education/mentoring) where telehealth interventions increase access to expertise and high-quality care. In other applications (e.g., inpatient care, emergency care), telehealth results in patient outcomes that are similar to usual care, which may be interpreted as a benefit when the purpose of telehealth is to make equivalent services available locally to rural residents. Most barriers to implementation are common to practice change efforts. Methodological weaknesses stem from weaker study designs, such as before-after studies, and small numbers of participants. The rapid increase in the use of telehealth in response to the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is likely to produce more data and offer opportunities for more rigorous studies.

"Objectives—Linking national survey data with administrative data sources enables researchers to conduct analyses that would not be possible with each data source alone. Recently, the Data Linkage Program at the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) released updated Linked Mortality Files, including the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data linked to the National Death Index mortality files. Two versions of the files were released: restricted-use files available through NCHS and Federal Statistical Research Data Centers and public-use files. To reduce the reidentification risk, statistical disclosure limitation methods were applied to the public-use files before they were released. This included limiting the amount of mortality information available and perturbing cause of death and follow-up time for select records. Methods—To assess the comparability of the restricted-use and public-use files, relative hazard ratios for all-cause and cause-specific mortality using Cox proportional hazards models were estimated and compared. Results—The comparative analysis found that the two data files yield similar descriptive and model results. Suggested citation: Mirel LB, Zhang C, Cox CS, Ye Y, El Burai Félix S, Golden C.

Full textAbstract:
The Philipp Schwartz Initiative (PSI) is a relatively new program of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (AvH) that was launched in 2016 in close cooperation with the Federal Foreign Office. PSI enables universities and other research institutions in Germany to host foreign scientists who are exiled, displaced, and threatened by war and persecution in their own countries. As Philipp Schwartz fellows they are entitled to continue their research for a period of two years. Technopolis Austria was tasked with an evaluation of the first four selection rounds of PSI. The evaluation aimed at taking stock of program implementation, collecting interim results, assessing goal attainment and to provide recommendations to further improve the program. The program aimed at developing structures within organisations hosting threatened researchers, at integrating fellows into research to increase career perspectives, as well as at raising awareness and at sharing information and facilitate networking within German Academia. To our knowledge, this was the first evaluation of a comparable initiative.

Introducing emergency contraception in Bangladesh: A feasibility study. Population Council, 2001. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh2001.1019.
Full textAbstract:
Approximately 28,000 maternal deaths occur every year in Bangladesh due to pregnancy and delivery-related complications, while many more women suffer major physical and psychological injuries. Available statistics indicate an increase in menstrual regulation (MR) and abortions, most performed by untrained practitioners under unhygienic conditions. Introducing emergency contraception (EC) in the national family planning (FP) program in Bangladesh could substantially reduce unwanted pregnancies and as result MR/abortions should also decrease. Because MR/abortions in Bangladesh significantly contribute to high maternal morbidity/mortality, introducing EC could be an important reproductive health intervention to provide couples with a back-up support to prevent unwanted pregnancy. EC could also reduce the psychological worries and health risks associated with unwanted pregnancies, MR, and abortions. The Directorate of Family Planning in collaboration with the Population Council’s Frontiers in Reproductive Health Project, Pathfinder International, and John Snow Inc., is conducting this feasibility study to develop, test, and document operational details for introducing EC as a back-up support for existing FP methods. This report is an interim update of the study’s accomplishments so far.
