Background: Globally, 21 million children were un- or under-vaccinated with Diphtheria-Tetanus-Pertussis (DTP)-containing vaccines in 2023. Around 20% of zero-dose children, those who had not received any DTP doses, live in conflict-affected settings in low and middle-income countries. There is insufficient evidence on vaccination interventions to identify and reach zero-dose children in these settings.

Background: Evidence-based practice (EBP) implementation can improve healthcare safety and patient outcomes. The significant challenge for intensive care nurses is providing safe and evidence-based care to patients with complex illnesses who are at high risk of complications and death. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practice of EBP, and the perceived barriers to EBP implementation among nurses in intensive care units (ICUs) in the North West Bank hospitals.

Background: Comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) has been introduced in many sub-Saharan African countries, but limited political interest and insufficient funding have resulted in many CSE initiatives being dependent on donor funding or non-governmental organisations (NGOs) supporting its implementation. This has created concerns about the sustainability of the programmes. The objective of this study was to explore factors affecting the sustainability of CSE delivered through a youth club organized after school hours in Zambia.

Background: Lack of accountability within healthcare systems contributes to suboptimal healthcare quality and ultimately poor health outcomes, especially in low-income countries. In Uganda, our research team implemented a pilot project of quarterly health accountability meetings between community members and their local political leaders to discuss healthcare needs and strategies for quality improvement. In this study, we examine the community members' understanding and perceptions of the health accountability meetings, as well as the perceived impact of the meetings on local healthcare services and community life.

In the 1980s, liming became a large-scale, governmentally supported restoration program implemented by many countries to mitigate the effects of acidification of freshwaters. Despite some 50 years of liming of thousands of lakes and streams, its efficacy remains largely debated. This study is the first of its kind to use paleolimnological reconstructions using both subfossil chironomid assemblages and their carbon stable isotopic composition to compare the ecological trajectories of limed and control (unlimed) lakes over the last 100 years in order to unravel the effects of liming on Scandinavian lakes.
