Children’s Health: Resource Pack 2017

Overview This resource pack on children’s health was curated by the Global Health Education and Learning Incubator. Over the past several decades, countries across the world have made significant strides in reducing the number of children who die before they are five years old. As more children survive past childbirth and into adolescence, many countries have experienced a “youth bulge,” where a large share of the overall population are children and young adults.

These shifts in population dynamics—who lives, who dies, and who moves around—warrant a closer look at the specific needs of children and youth in these environments. This resource collection highlights key concepts about child health and well-being, as well as specific information about vulnerable subpopulations of children and youth. The resource pack includes resources that describe pressing challenges that children worldwide experience, from infectious disease and malnutrition, to displacement, chronic disease, mental illness, and exploitation. Materials in the collection also focuses on the unique strengths and capacities of children and youth to participate in the economic, social, and political lives of the communities in which they live. The multidisciplinary materials may be suitable for students at the undergraduate college and public health graduate school levels. Learning objectives and supporting materials will vary depending on how the material is used in a course. Brief annotations provide a cursory summary, and within each section, dated publications are listed in chronological order.

GHELI repository link: http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/11026 This report summarizes the proceedings of a workshop held in April 2014 that focused on investments in young children and the cost of inaction, hosted by the Institute of Medicine Forum on Investing in Young Children Globally. Participants explored existing, new, and innovative science and research from around the world to translate this evidence into sound and strategic investments in policies and practices that will make a difference in the lives of children and their caregivers. This report discusses intersections across health, education, nutrition, living conditions, and social protection and how investments of economic, natural, social, and other resources can sustain or promote early childhood development and well-being.

United Nations Children’s Fund 2016. https://www.unicef.org/sowc2016. GHELI repository link: http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/10952 This report offers the latest update to the comprehensive statistics on child well-being published annually by UNICEF. Each year, the flagship State of the World’s Children publication closely examines a key issue affecting children. The 2016 report documents the progress made in reducing child deaths, improving nutrition, and getting children into school, but emphasizes the continuing challenges of inequity and inequality. Key messages center on the need for political commitment, community engagement, and collaboration across sectors. Is Every Child Counted? Status of Data for Children in the SDGs Report. Is Every Child Counted? Status of Data for Children in the SDGs. United Nations Children's Fund 2017. http://data.unicef.org/resources/every-child-counted-status-data-children-sdgs. GHELI repository link: http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/11485 This report discusses the availability of data for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) regarding children. Aiming to identify gaps in data collection and the presence of poor quality indicators, this report focuses on pitfalls that impede governments’ abilities to quickly and effectively achieve the SDGs. With the data availability for over half the child-related indicators categorized as limited or poor, the need for better data collection and analysis is vital to the success of the SDGs. This report seeks to provide an outline for priorities in reinforcing and enhancing good practices for the monitoring of child-related data. Narrowing the Gaps: The Power of Investing in the World’s Poorest Children Report. Narrowing the Gaps: The Power of Investing in the World’s Poorest Children. United Nations Children’s Fund 2017. https://www.unicef.org/publications/index_96534.html. This report offers evidence to support investment in the world’s poorest children through life-saving, high-impact interventions. It provides modelling and data from 51 countries, with results indicating the number of lives saved by investing the most deprived is almost twice as high as the number saved by equivalent investment in less deprived groups, and argues that the higher costs to reach those children is outweighed by the positive results.

Progress in Partnership: 2017 Progress Report on the Every Woman Every Child Global Strategy for Women’s, Children’s and Adolescents’ Health Report. Progress in Partnership: 2017 Progress Report on the Every Woman Every Child Global Strategy for Women’s, Children’s and Adolescents’ Health. World Health Organization 2017. http://gsprogressreport.everywomaneverychild.org. This report documents global progress on the commitments of the Every Woman Every Child Initiative, which was established in 2010 to improve the health and well-being of women, children, and adolescents. The human rights-based strategy shared a roadmap for countries to reduce inequities, strengthen fragile health systems, and foster multisectoral approaches to end preventable deaths of women, children, and adolescents. The report indicates that major disparities within countries and across regions hinder progress to achieving the global goals, and specifically highlights the need to focus on out-of-school children, physical and sexual violence, adolescent health, and access to quality health services.

GHELI repository link: http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/11025 This report examines how evidence for violence prevention can continue to be expanded, disseminated, and implemented. The report summarizes a workshop convened in January 2013 by the Institute of Medicine's Forum on Global Violence Prevention to explore value and application of the evidence for violence prevention across the lifespan and around the world. Since part of the Forum’s mandate is to engage in multisectoral, multidirectional dialogue that explores crosscutting approaches to violence prevention, this workshop examined how existing evidence for violence prevention can continue to be expanded, disseminated, and implemented in ways that further the ultimate aims of improved individual well-being and safer communities.

Global Status Report on Noncommunicable Diseases Report. Global Status Report on Noncommunicable Diseases. World Health Organization 2014. http://www.who.int/nmh/publications/ncd-status-report-2014/en. GHELI repository link: http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/10985 This report provides relevant data, identifies bottlenecks, opportunities, and priority actions for attaining the nine global noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) targets. All ministries of health need to set national NCD targets and lead the development and implementation of policies and interventions to attain them. There is no single pathway to attain NCD targets that fits all countries, as they are at different points in their progress in the prevention and control of NCDs and at different levels of socioeconomic development. However all countries can benefit from the comprehensive response to attaining the voluntary global targets presented in this report. This report provides the 2010 and 2012 baseline estimates on NCD mortality and risk factors so that countries can report on progress as of 2015. Hidden in Plain Sight: A Statistical Analysis of Violence Against Children Report. Hidden in Plain Sight: A Statistical Analysis of Violence Against Children. United Nations Children’s Fund 2014. https://www.unicef.org/publications/index_74865.html. This report examines the prevalence of different forms of violence against children, with global figures and data from 190 countries. This report disaggregates data by age and sex where relevant, shedding light on how violence undermines children’s future potential and their health and wellbeing.

Preventing Suicide: A Global Imperative Report. Preventing Suicide: A Global Imperative. World Health Organization 2014. http://www.who.int/mental_health/suicide-prevention/world_report_2014/en. GHELI repository link: http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/10983 This report aims to increase awareness of the public health significance of suicide and suicide attempts. It seeks to make suicide prevention a higher priority on the global public health agenda, and to encourage and support countries to develop or strengthen comprehensive suicide prevention strategies in a multi-sectoral public health approach. Suicides are preventable. Even so, every 40 seconds a person dies by suicide somewhere in the world and many more attempt suicide. Suicides occur in all regions of the world and throughout the lifespan. Notably, among young people 15-29 years of age, suicide is the second leading cause of death globally. This report proposes practical guidance on strategic actions that governments can take on the basis of their resources and existing suicide prevention activities. Youth Employment in Sub-Saharan Africa Report. Youth Employment in Sub-Saharan Africa. The World Bank Group 2014. https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/handle/10986/16608. GHELI repository link: http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/10962 This report examines obstacles faced by households and firms in meeting the youth employment challenge. It focuses primarily on productivity—in agriculture, non-farm household enterprises, and the modern wage sector—because productivity is the key to higher earnings as well as to more stable, less vulnerable livelihoods. The report identifies specific areas where government intervention can reduce obstacles to productivity for households and firms, leading to brighter employment prospects for youth, their parents, and their own children.

The report highlights specific successes around the globe, and the primary challenges that remain in controlling and eliminating the disease. Cross-Sector Responses to Obesity: Models for Change: Workshop Summary Report. Cross-Sector Responses to Obesity: Models for Change: Workshop Summary. The National Academies Press 2015. http://www.nap.edu/catalog/21706/cross-sector-responses-to-obesity-models-for-change-workshop-summary. GHELI repository link: http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/11030 This report summarizes a 2014 workshop, convened by the Institute of Medicine Roundtable on Obesity Solutions, on cross-sector solutions to the prevalence and consequences of obesity. Obesity affects 17 percent of children and adolescents and almost 36 percent of adults in the United States. Conservative estimates suggest that obesity now accounts for almost 20 percent of national health care spending. Until the obesity epidemic is reversed, obesity will continue to drive rates of chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer. This report identifies case studies of cross-sector initiatives that engage partners from diverse fields, and lessons learned from and barriers to established cross-sector initiatives.

A Human Opportunity Report for Sub-Saharan Africa. Directions in Development—Poverty. The World Bank Group 2015. https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/handle/10986/20458. GHELI repository link: http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/10964 This report explores the changing opportunities for children in Africa. While the definition of opportunities can be subjective and depend on the societal context, this report focuses on efforts to build future human capital, directly (through education and health investments) and indirectly (through complementary infrastructure such as safe water, adequate sanitation, electricity, and so on). The focus on children’s access to education, health services, safe water, and adequate nutrition is motivated by the prevailing evidence that early access to such services and goods deeply influence an individual's success and well-being later in life. Girlhood, Not Motherhood Report. Girlhood, Not Motherhood. United Nations Population Fund 2015. http://www.unfpa.org/publications/girlhood-not-motherhood. This report reviews the evidence on effective strategies and interventions to empower girls and reduce their vulnerability to adolescent pregnancy. The report draws on this body of evidence to provide implementation guidance to ensure a girl’s safe transition into adulthood by preventing pregnancy before she is physically, developmentally, and socially ready.

The National Academies Press 2015. http://www.nap.edu/catalog/18869/investing-in-the-health-and-well-being-of-young-adults. GHELI repository link: http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/11039 This report argues for a systematic approach to understanding and responding to the needs of today’s young adults. Based on research by the Institute of Medicine and the National Research Council, Investing in The Health and Well-Being of Young Adults defines the term young adulthood and discusses who young adults are, what they are doing, and what they need. The study recommends actions that nonprofit programs and federal, state, and local agencies can take to help young adults make a successful transition from adolescence to adulthood. It recommends that young adults be considered as a separate group from adolescents and older adults. It argues that increased efforts to improve high school and college graduation rates, as well as to more closely align education and workforce-development systems with high-demand economic sectors, will help this age group achieve greater opportunity and success. The report also discusses the health status of young adults

Public Health Implications of Raising the Minimum Age of Legal Access to Tobacco Products Report. Public Health Implications of Raising the Minimum Age of Legal Access to Tobacco Products. The National Academies Press 2015. http://www.nap.edu/catalog/18997/public-health-implications-of-raising-the-minimum-age-of-legal-access-to-tobacco-products. GHELI repository link: http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/11040 This report considers the likely public health impact of raising the minimum age for purchasing tobacco products to 19, 21, and 25 years. Conducted at the request of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the report explores the serious implications of tobacco use among adolescents and young adults. Nearly all adults who have ever smoked daily first tried a cigarette before 26 years of age. Current cigarette use among adults is highest among persons aged 21 to 25 years, a time in life when the parts of the brain most responsible for cognitive and psychosocial maturity are still developing, and adolescent brains are uniquely vulnerable to the effects of nicotine. The report aims to serve as a valuable reference for federal policy makers and state and local health departments and legislators. Unless We Act Now: The Impact of Climate Change on Children Report. Unless We Act Now: The Impact of Climate Change on Children. United Nations Children’s Fund 2015. http://www.unicef.org/publications/index_86337.html. GHELI repository link: http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/10951 This report describes how climate change, and actions addressing it, may impact children, and offers policy recommendations. Its three main sections focus on major climate-related risks and their potential influence on the burden of disease for children; how children may be affected under various scenarios of action; and a series of broad policy recommendations to prevent further global warming, decrease children’s exposure, and increase their resilience to climate change and environmental risks. This report builds on UNICEF’s child demographic projection series, Generation 2030, and aims to estimate how many children live in climate-affected areas today and in the future, culminating in a child population map that estimates the number of children in every square kilometer on earth and includes geospatial analysis on climate-affected zones. World Report on Child Labour 2015: Paving the Way to Decent Work for Young People Report. World Report on Child Labour 2015: Paving the Way to Decent Work for Young People. International Labour Organization 2015. http://www.ilo.org/ipec/Informationresources/WCMS_358969/lang--en/index.htm. GHELI repository link: http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/10929 This report presents empirical evidence of how child labor combined with limited education can lead to increased youth vulnerability and greater difficulties in transiting to good jobs. This evidence includes results from the International Labor Organization’s School-to-Work Transition Survey (SWTS) program, an unprecedented data collection effort allowing the analysis of the trajectories followed by youth to enter the world of work in a total of 28 low- and middle-income countries around the world. The report also reviews evidence of how the child labor–youth employment link can operate in the opposite direction, i.e., how the difficulties faced by youth in the labor market can make personal investment in education less attractive as an alternative to child labor earlier in the lifecycle. Assessing Prevalence and Trends in Obesity: Navigating the Evidence Report. Assessing Prevalence and Trends in Obesity: Navigating the Evidence.

adults, this report offers a framework and recommends ways decision makers and others can effectively assess and interpret reports on obesity trends for policy-making and program-planning purposes. Burning Opportunity: Clean Household Energy for Health, Sustainable Development, and Wellbeing of Women and Children Report. Burning Opportunity: Clean Household Energy for Health, Sustainable Development, and Wellbeing of Women and Children. World Health Organization 2016. http://www.who.int/indoorair/publications/burning-opportunities/en. GHELI repository link: http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/10951 This report examines the global health risk of household air pollution, and the high risk of exposure faced by women and children. Prompted by a decade’s worth of slow progress in reducing the health burden of domestic pollutants, particularly kerosene-burning cook-stoves and lamps, it aims to draw attention and support to crafting solutions for this issue in a timely fashion. The report discusses the opportunities to improve the health of women and girls, who bear the greatest health burden from domestic pollution sources and from related fuel-gathering tasks, by reducing the reliance on these polluting fuels. The report also notes the rippling effect these actions could have in driving progress towards the success of the Sustainable Development Goals related to health, gender equity, energy, and climate.

GHELI repository link: http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/10954 This report examines children living with HIV and the risk they face of AIDS-related death. It addresses the measures and possible solutions used to alleviate the burden of HIV/AIDS in children and adolescents. Focusing on the available means to prevent new infections and initiate treatment earlier, the report identifies a collective failure to prioritize the care of children in the HIV epidemic. It goes on to encourage the support of prevention methods and local solutions, as well as an increase in data collection and an end to gender-based discrimination. Young children (aged 0-4) living with HIV represent the age group at highest-risk for AIDS-related death; as such, the report seeks to spur immediate action towards finding a lasting and effective solution.

GHELI repository link: http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/10993 This report provides a comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of the tuberculosis (TB) epidemic and progress in implementing and financing prevention, care, control, and research at global, regional, and country levels. It uses data reported by more than 200 countries that account for more than 99 percent of the world's TB cases. Published annually by the World Health Organization since 1997, this 2016 edition is the first to be produced in the era of the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the “End TB Strategy.” Highlights of the report include new data which show that the global burden of disease and death attributed to TB is higher than previously estimated, the challenge posed by drug-resistant TB continues, and widening gaps in TB financing could be on the horizon.

World Health Organization 2016. http://www.who.int/phe/publications/urban-health/en. GHELI repository link: http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/11011 This report explores the role of health in urban planning, investments, and policy decisions. The report stresses the importance of considering the health of a city’s residents when making policies and decisions. Offering guidance and suggestions for using development to support health, and health to support development, the report suggests both applying a “health lens” to urban planning, governance, and finance, and involving the health sector in advancing healthy, sustainable urban planning. It addresses which policies promote public health and which ones create risk, and considers how health can be accounted for in urban planning. It also examines the unique role the health sector plays in the New Urban Agenda, a series of global standards in sustainable urban development that was adopted by the U.N. Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (Habitat III) in Quito, Ecuador in October 2016, with representation from 167 countries. On the Fast-Track to an AIDS-Free Generation Report.

United Nations Children's Fund 2016. https://www.unicef.org/publications/index_93020.html. GHELI repository link: http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/10954 This report addresses the persisting issue of preventable child deaths due to pneumonia and diarrhea. Highlighting an unnecessary loss of 1.4 million children per year due to these illnesses, the report goes on to detail recent progress and the cost-effective solutions available. Relatively inexpensive to treat, and with a disproportionate effect on younger populations, these diseases could be managed and prevented with greater focus and funding. This report provides strategies and recommendations to mitigate the largest inequities between the children being reached and those left behind, and to address these conditions on a global scale.

A Child is a Child: Protecting Children on the Move from Violence, Abuse and Exploitation Report. A Child is a Child: Protecting Children on the Move from Violence, Abuse and Exploitation. United Nations Children's Fund 2017. https://www.unicef.org/publications/index_95956.html. GHELI repository link: http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/11541 This report focuses on the dangers faced by displaced and refugee children and adolescents, millions of whom are on the move across international borders fleeing violence and conflict, disaster or poverty, or in pursuit of a better life. With few safe and legal routes to take on their journeys, unaccompanied children fall prey to smugglers and other illegitimate means of transport, which increases their risks of violence, abuse, exploitation, and trafficking. Despite protections in place through the Convention on the Rights of the Child and other international treaties, displaced children are often trapped in bureaucratic limbo as receiving nations become overwhelmed by the influx of refugees and asylum-seekers. This report outlines policies and recommends strategies to ensure the protection of these vulnerable children.

GHELI repository link: http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/11702 This report summarizes key data about child labor, which is defined by international standards as work that is hazardous, demands too many hours, or is performed by children who are too young. The report indicates there are 151.6 million children aged 5 to 17 in child labor globally. Although child labor has decreased since 2000, the challenge remains immense, particularly in Africa, Asia, and the Pacific, where the risk of child labor is greatest. Contrary to popular belief, over half of children affected by child labor in fact live in lower-middle and upper-middle income countries. The report outlines policy responses to motivate continued progress toward the global goal to eradicate child labor, and is accompanied by a data interactive and executive summary. It is part of Alliance 8.7, the global partnership committed to eradicating forced labor, modern slavery, human trafficking, and child labor by 2025, in accordance with Target 8.7 of the Sustainable Development Goals.

As of 2015, 42 million people in the U.S. lived in food-insecure households and 13 million were children. The report is intended to influence government policy makers and is based on USDA Economic Research Service data. It is accompanied by individual, downloadable state-wide profiles as well as an interactive online tool, “Map the Meal Gap,” which maps the locations where food insecurity exists in the U.S. Also available are research findings on hunger among teenagers, Latino, and senior populations; information on the relationship between hunger and diabetes; guidelines for hunger-relief program evaluation; and links to previous food insecurity reports since 2011.

United Nations Children’s Fund 2017. https://www.unicef.org/publications/index_96534.html. This report offers evidence to support investment in the world’s poorest children through life-saving, high-impact interventions. It provides modelling and data from 51 countries, with results indicating the number of lives saved by investing the most deprived is almost twice as high as the number saved by equivalent investment in less deprived groups, and argues that the higher costs to reach those children is outweighed by the positive results.

Progress in Partnership: 2017 Progress Report on the Every Woman Every Child Global Strategy for Women’s, Children’s and Adolescents’ Health Report. Progress in Partnership: 2017 Progress Report on the Every Woman Every Child Global Strategy for Women’s, Children’s and Adolescents’ Health. World Health Organization 2017. http://gsprogressreport.everywomaneverychild.org. This report documents global progress on the commitments of the Every Woman Every Child Initiative, which was established in 2010 to improve the health and well-being of women, children, and adolescents. The human rights-based strategy shared a roadmap for countries to reduce inequities, strengthen fragile health systems, and foster multisectoral approaches to end preventable deaths of women, children, and adolescents. The report indicates that major disparities within countries and across regions hinder progress to achieving the global goals, and specifically highlights the need to focus on out-of-school children, physical and sexual violence, adolescent health, and access to quality health services.

GHELI repository link: http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/11628 This report provides a comprehensive global assessment of progress on water, sanitation, and hygiene monitoring, or WASH. It establishes country, regional, and global baseline estimates for the new Sustainable Development Goal targets and indicators relating to WASH. The latest data show that 30 percent of people worldwide, or 2.1 billion, lack access to safe, readily available water at home, and 60 percent, or 4.5 billion, lack safely managed sanitation. This report also presents the first-ever estimates of the population using “safely managed” drinking water and sanitation services—meaning drinking water at home that is free from contamination, and toilets where excreta are safely treated and disposed.

Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, International Fund for Agricultural Development, United Nations Children’s Fund, World Food Programme, World Health Organization 2017. http://www.fao.org/state-of-food-security-nutrition/en. GHELI repository link: http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/11687 This report indicates that global hunger is on the rise again, after steadily declining for over a decade. It points out that conflict, compounded by climate-related shocks, has driven the resurgence of hunger and many forms of malnutrition that affect 815 million people worldwide. The first United Nations global assessment of food security and nutrition following the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this annual report will now monitor progress towards the targets on ending both hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2). Ongoing assessments will include analyses of how food security and nutrition are related to progress on other SDG targets. Stolen Childhoods: End of Childhood Report 2017 Report. Geoghegan T. Stolen Childhoods: End of Childhood Report 2017. Save the Children 2017. https://resourcecentre.savethechildren.net/library/stolen-childhoods-end-childhood-report-2017. GHELI repository link: http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/11634 This report summarizes the life-changing events that prematurely disrupt the childhoods of at least 700 million children worldwide, including poor health, conflict, extreme violence, child marriage, early pregnancy, malnutrition, exclusion from education, and child labor. The report offers recommendations for change, and ranks 172 countries in an “End of Childhood Index” based on conditions that succeed or fail to protect children. Indicators used to measure an early end to childhood include under-5 mortality, growth-stunting malnutrition, out-of-school children, child labor, early marriage, adolescent births, conflict-driven displacement, and child homicide. The report was published in commemoration of International Children’s Day, and includes short colorful graphics and one-page case narratives about individual children in nine countries whose childhoods were disrupted related to violence, poverty, vulnerabilities, mortality, and displacement.

Child Death in High-Income Countries Article Series. Child Death in High-Income Countries. The Lancet 2014. http://www.thelancet.com/series/child-death-in-high-income-countries. This Lancet Series outlines the epidemiology of child mortality and a standardized approach to child death reviews in high-income countries, where reductions in child mortality have been significant, but variable across countries, over recent decades. The papers in this series disaggregate patterns of child mortality at different ages into five broad categories (perinatal causes, congenital abnormalities, acquired natural causes, external causes, and unexplained deaths) and examine contributory factors, like biological and psychological factors, the physical environment, the social environment, and service delivery. The papers also provide practical recommendations to address these patterns in child mortality. Series papers include:

Understanding Why Children Die in High-Income Countries

Every Newborn Article Series. Every Newborn. The Lancet 2014. http://www.thelancet.com/series/everynewborn. GHELI repository link: http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/11114 This Lancet Series advocates for quality care at birth, with facilities and communities focused on the time of birth. This is the time when most infant deaths occur and when most lives can be saved, and long-term disabilities averted, through higher coverage of effective interventions. This strategy requires responsive health systems that are equipped with lifesaving commodities and staffed with health workers who can deliver high-quality and timely skilled care, including emergency obstetric care and interventions for small and ill newborn babies. Following The Lancet’s “Neonatal Survival” series in 2005, the “Every Newborn” series presents the clearest picture so far of the ongoing slow progress in newborn survival, provides new focus beyond survival, and combines research and reality in countries to set target for post-2015 to ensure that every newborn has a healthy start in life. Series papers include:

Who Has Been Caring for the Baby?

Every Newborn: Progress, Priorities, and Potential Beyond Survival

Can Available Interventions end Preventable Deaths in Mothers, Newborn Babies, and Stillbirths, and at What Cost?

Every Newborn: Health-Systems Bottlenecks and Strategies to Accelerate Scale-up in Countries

GHELI repository link: http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/11055 This article discusses the toxic effects of household air pollution (HAP), ways to measure pollution, and solutions to tackle the problem, with a focus on low- and middle-income countries. Nearly 3 billion people worldwide are exposed to the threat of HAP every day from the use of solid fuel for cooking, heating, and lighting. HAP is a major contributor to global figures for morbidity and mortality, with major effects on respiratory symptoms and disease. Violence Against Women and Girls Article Series. Violence Against Women and Girls. The Lancet 2014. http://www.thelancet.com/series/violence-against-women-and-girls. GHELI repository link: http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/11117 This Lancet Series shows that violence against women and girls is preventable. Abuse takes many forms, including intimate physical and sexual partner violence, female genital mutilation, child and forced marriage, sex trafficking, and rape. Five papers cover the evidence base for interventions, discuss the vital role of the health sector in care and prevention, show the need for men and women to be involved in effective programs, provide practical lessons from experience in countries, and present a call for action with five key recommendations and indicators to track progress. Series papers include:

Bullying Article Series. Bullying. The Lancet Psychiatry 2015. http://www.thelancet.com/series/bullying. GHELI repository link: http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/11125 This Lancet Series looks at the nature and mental health consequences of bullying, and ways in which clinicians and researchers might address the problem. It explores whether bullying is part of a "normal" childhood, or whether it is a damaging behavior that health professionals can and should try to prevent. Series papers and articles include:

Bullying in the Family: Sibling Bullying

Bullying by Peers in Childhood and Effects on Psychopathology, Suicidality, and Criminality in Adulthood

Obesity 2015 Article Series. Obesity 2015. The Lancet 2015. http://www.thelancet.com/series/obesity-2015. GHELI repository link: http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/11128 This Lancet Series explores how food environments can facilitate unhealthy eating, exploiting people’s biological, psychological, social, and economic vulnerabilities. This reinforces preferences and demands for foods of poor nutritional quality, furthering the unhealthy food environments. Regulatory actions from governments and increased efforts from industry and civil society will be necessary to break these vicious cycles. The set of articles covers topics such as smart food policies, mobilization of public support for policy, management of obesity from the perspective of the health sector, and child and adolescent obesity. In addition to identifying barriers to health eating, one article identifies strengthening accountability systems to create healthy food environments as a critical step to reducing global obesity. Additional resources include an infographic on how governments can support healthy food preferences. Series papers include:

Patchy Progress on Obesity Prevention: Emerging Examples, Entrenched Barriers, and New Thinking

Smart Food Policies for Obesity Prevention

This represents a dramatic, four-fold increase since 2007 when only 1 billion people, or 15 percent of the world’s population, were covered. The country profiles contain data on tobacco prevalence, preventative measures, cessation, and tobacco economics, within the framework of the WHO MPOWER measures, which were created to assist in the country-level implementation of effective interventions to reduce the demand for tobacco.

FACT SHEETS

Children and Young People with Disabilities Fact Sheet. Children and Young People with Disabilities. United Nations Children’s Fund 2013. https://www.unicef.org/disabilities/files/Factsheet_A5__Web_NEW.pdf. This fact sheet provides a snapshot of the key issues affecting the lives of children with disabilities and an overview of the evidence currently available. A significant number of children with disabilities are denied access to education and health care, and remain disproportionately vulnerable to violence, exploitation, and abuse. The greatest barriers to inclusion of children with disabilities are stigma, prejudice, and a lack of training and capacity building. The fact sheet recommends a “twin-track” approach to disability, whereby disability is mainstreamed within general development initiatives and appropriate disability-specific efforts are developed to target hard-to-reach or sub-populations of children and youth with disabilities.

UNICEF was created in December 1946 by the United Nations to provide food, clothing and health care to European children facing famine and disease after World War II. Today, UNICEF is active in more than 190 countries and territories through country programs and national committees. UNICEF was created with a distinct purpose in mind: to work with others to overcome the obstacles that poverty, violence, disease, and discrimination place in a child’s path. In all of its work, UNICEF takes a life-cycle based approach, recognizing the particular importance of early childhood development and adolescence. UNICEF programs focus on the most disadvantaged children, including those living in fragile contexts, those with disabilities, those who are affected by rapid urbanization and those affected by environmental degradation.

Age Structure Has Changed Differently Across Regions Between 1970 and 2014. Population Reference Bureau 2014. http://www.prb.org/Multimedia/Infographics/2014/world-population-datasheet-graphics.aspx. GHELI repository link: http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/11432 This infographic displays the varied age structures in regions around the world. In 1970, just under one-half of the world’s population was younger than 20, a nearly equal percentage was ages 20 to 64, and only 5 percent was 65 and older. Today, as a result of lower fertility rates and longer life expectancy, the share of global population under age 20 has dropped to about 35 percent, the population between ages 20 and 64 represent 58 percent, and ages 65 and older represent 7 percent. Asia, Latin America, and Oceania all have population age structures similar to the global averages.

Controlling Trachoma in Morocco Teaching Case. Levine R. Controlling Trachoma in Morocco. Center for Global Development 2007. http://www.cgdev.org/page/case-10-controlling-trachoma-morocco. GHELI repository link: http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/10837 This case describes Morocco’s successful implementation of a program that lowered the incidence of trachoma, the leading preventable cause of blindness, to less than 10 percent among children under the age of 10. Program tactics included using a combined strategy of surgery, antibiotics, face washing, and environmental change. This is Case 10 in the Center for Global Development’s online case series, “Millions Saved.” Eliminating Measles in Southern Africa Teaching Case. Levine R. Eliminating Measles in Southern Africa. Center for Global Development 2007. http://www.cgdev.org/page/case-17-eliminating-measles-southern-africa. GHELI repository link: http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/10844 This case describes the successful cross-country measles vaccination program throughout seven African countries. Four years after the campaign had begun, there were only 117 cases reported instead of 60,000 that had been reported in 1996 and death by measles for children had nearly been eliminated in the region. This is Case 17 in the Center for Global Development’s online case series, “Millions Saved.” Eliminating Polio in Latin America and the Caribbean Teaching Case. Levine R. Eliminating Polio in Latin America and the Caribbean. Center for Global Development 2007. http://www.cgdev.org/page/case-5-eliminating-polio-latin-america-and-caribbean. GHELI repository link: http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/10832 This case describes the introduction of the oral polio vaccine (OPV) campaign in Latin and the Caribbean to eradicate polio. Beginning in 1985, the Pan American Health Organization began a regional polio eradication campaign to complement routine immunization efforts of the newly formed Expanded Programme on Immunization. To bolster coverage in areas with weak vaccine distribution delivery, all children received a vaccination twice a year regardless of their previous vaccination history. During the final stages of the campaign community health workers went door-to-door in communities with existing polio cases or that had low coverage. Finally, surveillance was used to track outbreaks. By mid-2006 just four countries (instead of the 125 in 1988) were still endemic and only a total of 700 cases had been reported. This is Case 5 in the Center for Global Development’s online case series, “Millions Saved.” Reducing Child Mortality through Vitamin A in Nepal Teaching Case. Levine R. Reducing Child Mortality through Vitamin A in Nepal. Center for Global Development 2007. http://www.cgdev.org/page/case-4-reducing-child-mortality-through-vitamin-nepal. GHELI repository link: http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/10831 This case describes the National Vitamin A Program that the government of Nepal began in 1995 to distribute the supplements once it was recognized that vitamin A supplementation can save children’s lives. This program has averted nearly 200,000 child deaths. This is Case 4 in the Center for Global Development’s online case series, “Millions Saved.”

GHELI repository link: http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/10817 This case follows a campaign to prevent childhood obesity that, although well-intentioned, encountered community and national backlash for its stigmatizing messages and images. The case explores the decision-making processes of the campaign’s planning team—health and government officials, activists, experts, and marketers—as they develop a new approach that is both evidence-based and inclusive of community input. Through this case, students develop skills in designing a social marketing campaign that is informed by the evidence and attentive to ethical concerns in both its design and evaluation plan. This case is accompanied by a downloadable lesson plan that includes a homework assignment and in-class assignment instructions.

GHELI repository link: http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/10813 This case explores how tanning salons pressure students—especially girls and women—to achieve unrealistic standards of beauty despite known health risks. The case follows college students-turned activists who attempt to evict a campus tanning salon that seems to be promoted by the school, or at least is allowed to advertise on campus. Their attempts lead to meeting with school officials and the owner of the salon to negotiate an agreement that protects students’ health while balancing the interests of diverse stakeholders. This case introduces students to the importance of strategic negotiation in addressing complex public health problems, and is accompanied by a downloadable lesson plan that includes a homework assignment and in-class assignment instructions. It is part of a series of teaching cases developed by the Strategic Training Initiative for the Prevention of Eating Disorders (STRIPED) at the Harvard T.H.

Early Childhood Development: Resource Pack Resource Pack. Early Childhood Development: Resource Pack. Global Health Education and Learning Incubator at Harvard University 2017. http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/collection/resource-pack-early-child-development. GHELI repository link: http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/collection/resource-pack-early-child-development This resource pack focuses on early childhood development, an umbrella term for the physical, cognitive, and emotional changes that occur in the first years of life, with specific emphasis on birth to age five. Child development is driven by a complex interplay between a child and the many social contexts he or she occupies, including the household, peer network, school, community, and broader society. Together, these contexts interact with the natural biological and psychological growth processes of childhood and can serve as sources of both risk and opportunity. The experiences and relationships young children accumulate in the first years of life can have lasting impacts on health and well-being into adulthood. The pack is designed to give educators both a foundational knowledge of early childhood development, as well as an appreciation for how these concepts have been studied and addressed globally to improve population health, through a range of multidisciplinary materials on key topics, concepts, and population groups. Flint, Michigan: Lethal Water - Teaching Pack Teaching Pack. Flint, Michigan: Lethal Water - Teaching Pack. Global Health Education and Learning Incubator at Harvard University 2017. http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/collection/teaching-pack-flint-michigan-and-lethal-water. GHELI repository link: http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/collection/teaching-pack-flint-michigan-and-lethal-water This teaching pack is focused on the toxic water crisis in Flint, Michigan, a disaster with profound health implications. A complex network of interrelated factors contributed to the problems in Flint: culture, ethics, society, environment, politics, urban design, economic justice, and governance. The teaching pack is centered on a case study, which outlines the social, economic, health, and policy consequences faced by Flint in the aftermath of a governmental decision to switch the city’s public water supply from Lake Huron to the more corrosive Flint River. The case highlights the role of citizens, scientists, and activists in raising public awareness of the crisis and the toxic long-term effects of lead poisoning on affected children. It also illustrates the challenges and questions such a crisis poses for other communities in the United States and globally. The teaching pack includes an instructor’s note, role play exercise, and discussion guide with an accompanying teaching graphic, all designed to help students understand the interconnected nature of a complex health issue like Flint's poisoned water, and the complexity of addressing it.

Global Health Education and Learning Incubator at Harvard University 2017. http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/collection/teaching-pack-gender-conflict-and-education. GHELI repository link: http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/collection/teaching-pack-gender-conflict-and-education This teaching pack focuses on the intersection of gender, conflict, and education through the experience of Malala Yousafzai, who in 2012 was shot by members of the Taliban due to her educational activism. A short case study introduces students to Malala’s story and to the national and global reactions to her shooting, setting that incident within the context of Pakistan and her advocacy work. Through the reading and discussion of this case, as well as through four suggested classroom activities, students are introduced to a broad concept of health which not only considers “health conditions” (conditions of the body) but also includes conditions in the world and social environment that affect health (social determinants of health). Students explore what social, political, and environmental conditions affect educational access in Pakistan. This teaching pack emphasizes the connection between education and long-term health outcomes, as well as the responses that are necessary to impact social determinants of health. It includes an instructor’s note, case study, four lesson plans with supplemental exhibits, an annotated bibliography, and a select glossary of terms.

As the global health community nears the goal of eradication, a complex set of challenges—such as conflict, internal displacement, and politics—continues to exacerbate the spread of the disease. This resource collection includes resources—such as reports and books; articles and briefs; data portals; fact sheets and country profiles; topic portals; infographics and interactives; multimedia and news, and teaching cases—which describe the history of polio, illustrate successful approaches to eradication, and identify opportunities for future action. More broadly, the collection explores infectious diseases and vaccination efforts across the globe. Preventing Bullying through Science, Policy, and Practice Educator Guide.

GHELI repository link: http://repository.gheli.harvard.edu/repository/11675 This toolkit offers evidence-based information and guidance on preventing and reducing bullying. It defines bullying as a public health problem with long-lasting harmful consequences, identifies the four main types of bullying, and describes those most at risk of being bullied. It includes downloadable guides for different audiences—such as youth, parents, teachers, school administrators, community-based leaders, health care providers, policymakers, and researchers— that outline how to recognize, prevent, and intervene in bullying behavior, and offer links to federal resources. This toolkit builds on a 2014 Institute of Medicine / National Research Council workshop entitled “Building Capacity to Reduce Bullying.”
