Article Synopsis
- Health financing schemes based on pre-payment models have been introduced in Sub-Saharan Africa, including Mauritania's Obstetric Risk Insurance (ORI) aimed at improving maternal and neonatal health since 2002.
- The study evaluated the ORI's effectiveness in increasing the use of facility-based deliveries and other maternal health services from 2002 to 2011 using demographic survey data and various statistical methods.
- Findings revealed no overall improvement in facility-based delivery rates or antenatal/postnatal care due to ORI, though local health centers with ORI showed slight increases in delivery rates compared to those without, while late neonatal mortality rates decreased in non-ORI districts.
Although war-trauma victims are at a higher risk of developing PTSD, there is no consensus on the effective treatments for this condition among civilians who experienced war/conflict-related trauma. This paper assessed the effectiveness of the various forms of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) at lowering PTSD and depression severity. All published and unpublished randomized controlled trials studying the effectiveness of CBT at reducing PTSD and/or depression severity in the population of interest were searched.
