Financing for equity for women's, children's and adolescents' health in low- and middle-income countries: A scoping review.

Over the past few decades, the world has witnessed considerable progress in women's, children's and adolescents' health (WCAH) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Yet deep inequities remain between and within countries. This scoping review aims to map financing interventions and measures to improve equity in WCAH in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

Examining Barriers and Strengthening Community Collaboration as a Means to Increase Exclusive Breastfeeding Rates in Sarasota County, Florida.

Background Maternal and infant benefits of breastfeeding have been established and widely recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. However, there is a discrepancy between the number of mothers initiating breastfeeding and those continuing to breastfeed for six months and beyond. In this project, we investigated current breastfeeding practices and barriers to feeding for mothers in Sarasota County, Florida to develop an intervention aimed at increasing the rate of exclusive breastfeeding at six months and beyond.

Barriers and facilitators to implementation, uptake and sustainability of community-based health insurance schemes in low- and middle-income countries: a systematic review.

Background: Community-based health insurance (CBHI) has evolved as an alternative health financing mechanism to out of pocket payments in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), particularly in areas where government or employer-based health insurance is minimal. This systematic review aimed to assess the barriers and facilitators to implementation, uptake and sustainability of CHBI schemes in LMICs.

Methods: We searched six electronic databases and grey literature.
