Enhancing Disability Research Through Participatory Video: Reflections on a Brazilian Study.

This paper explores the use of participatory video (PV) in a case study conducted in Arcoverde, Brazil, to address the call for greater participation of individuals with disabilities in health and social care planning and research. PV is grounded in similar concepts to the Disability Rights Movement's principle of "Nothing About Us, Without Us" and serves as a potential collaborative tool for individuals with disabilities to shape their narratives and contribute to research. The study was part of a multi-methods research project on healthcare access, with the PV research focusing on primary healthcare in Arcoverde.

Access to primary healthcare services among adults with disabilities in Brazil.

Objective: To investigate perspectives of people with disabilities in Brazil regarding the access to primary healthcare.

Methods: In-depth interviews were conducted with 44 individuals with disabilities in Pernambuco, Distrito Federal, and São Paulo between March 2020 and November 2021. These interviews were transcribed, coded, and analysed thematically, using the Levesque framework to identify healthcare access barriers.

Evolving narratives on signal functions for monitoring maternal and newborn health services: A meta-narrative inspired review.

Emergency obstetric care (EmOC) signal functions are a shortlist of key clinical interventions capable of averting deaths from the five main direct causes of maternal mortality; they have been used since 1997 as a part of an EmOC monitoring framework to track the availability of EmOC services in low- and middle-income settings. Their widespread use and proposed adaptation to include other types of care, such as care for newborns, is testimony to their legacy as part of the measurement architecture within reproductive health. Yet, much has changed in the landscape of maternal and newborn health (MNH) since the initial introduction of EmOC signal functions.

Increased utilisation and quality: a focus on inequality and a learning health system approach-explaining Nepal's success in reducing maternal and newborn mortality 2000-2020.

Introduction: Maternal mortality in Nepal dropped from 553 to 186 per 100 000 live births during 2000-2017 (66% decline). Neonatal mortality dropped from 40 to 21 per 1000 live births during 2000-2018 (48% decline). Stillbirths dropped from 28 to 18 per 1000 births during 2000-2019 (34% decline).

Access to primary healthcare services for adults with disabilities in Latin America and the Caribbean: a review and meta-synthesis of qualitative studies.

Purpose: This review and meta-synthesis of qualitative studies aims to provide an overview of qualitative evidence on primary healthcare access of people with disability in Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as to identify barriers that exist in this region.

Methods: Six databases were searched for studies from 2000 to 2022. 34 qualitative studies were identified.
