WorldVision uses a social accountability approach called CitizenVoice and Action in 324 health programs across 500 clinics. This approach has been studied in partnerships with universities. The Community Score Card can measure the quality of health services and community access to and use of services. Studies show it reduced child mortality by 33% and increased facility births by 58% in one area. In India, reviving auxiliary nurse-midwife subcenters using the score card and social accountability increased services provided and access to family planning and maternal and child health services. More evidence is still needed but research shows social accountability and community score cards can improve health services and empower communities.
Social Accountability for Improved Community Health Winch
The document summarizes the experience using community scorecards in Tanzania to promote social accountability and community engagement in health. It describes the 3-step process used: 1) preparation, 2) a community meeting to analyze problems and create an action plan, and 3) follow-up on implementation. Key findings include that quality of facilitation is important to establish cooperation between stakeholder groups, some problems are easier to address than others, and sustainability depends more on district support than community engagement. The scorecards showed similarities to other participatory methods like CLTS and O&OD but also have strengths and limitations.

They reviewed membership, provided training grants to hospitals for staff to attend conferences on chronic disease prevention, and worked to centralize available quality data. Questions remain about the council's role in directly implementing community-based health programs and how to engage communities more in the council's work.
AWA Experts 2015 Meeting_eMTCT Best Bractices Presentation Rwanda
The document summarizes best practices in Rwanda's PMTCT (prevention of mother-to-child transmission) program. It discusses bottlenecks identified in the program's review, including lack of integration and coordination. Strategies to address these included creating a single coordinating body, decentralizing planning, and integrating PMTCT services into maternal and child health platforms. These changes led to successes like improved coverage, but challenges remain around multi-sector engagement and decentralization. Lessons include the importance of community involvement, public-private partnerships, and performance-based financing to motivate health workers.
Nancy Warren Mini-U Presentation March 2014
This document summarizes the integration of family planning services into maternal and child health programming in Liberia. Key points:
- Family planning services were introduced in 2011 and integrated into the existing community health program after external funding ended in 2012. Services were integrated into immunization outreach activities.
- Integration trained community health workers to provide family planning counseling and some methods. It increased modern contraceptive use from 2% to 61% and decreased unmet need from 68% to 22%.
- While challenges included increased workload, integration had benefits like utilizing existing resources and a network of community health volunteers to scale up comprehensive services. Lessons included applying family planning messaging to all users and clarifying return dates for integrated services.
Learning Route Rwanda - participants feedback
Delegations from 9 SUN Civil Society Alliances participated in a learning route in Rwanda from October 31st to November 5th, 2016. The learning route featured case studies of successful nutrition initiatives and methodological sessions to enhance the capacities of civil society alliances. Key learnings included setting up multi-stakeholder platforms at decentralized levels, using behavior change communication through media, and the commitment of the Rwandan government to nutrition. Participants developed innovation plans to apply new knowledge in their countries and established a regional call to action to coordinate nutrition plans, allocate resources, and ensure community engagement.

The document summarizes a study that adapted an in-person nutrition intervention to be delivered remotely via mobile phones during COVID-19. Key findings were:
1) Coverage and uptake of the mobile videos/audio was high for households with phones but access was difficult without phones.
2) Learning outcomes seemed better for long-form videos than short audio clips.
3) The mobile approach showed potential for engaging whole families but only among households with smartphones.
The study concluded that both in-person and digital methods can complement each other to enhance learning if digital inequality is addressed to prevent exclusion of those without mobile access.

Setting Them up for Failure: Why Parents Struggle to Adhere to Infant Safe Sl...
This poster was presented by Christin D'Ovidio at the National Conference on Health Communication, Marketing & Media.
Each year in Vermont, 4-6 infants die of unsafe sleep environments. The Vermont Department of Health contracted with JSI Research and Training Institute, Inc. (JSI), to study the major barriers Vermont parents and professionals face with regard to infant safe sleep. The research examined: what parents know, have heard, or find confusing about infant safe sleep practices; decisions around infant safe sleep practice; and response to existing infant safe sleep materials.
Some of the major themes with implications for future
communication efforts included parents’ need to be respected as good and competent caregivers, the desire for information that addresses the unique sleep challenges in their family, and
a skepticism of infant safe sleep research and messaging.
Although parents are highly motivated to do what is best for their baby and are aware of the basic infant safe sleep guidelines, parents who struggle the follow the guidelines feel they must choose between sleep and safety, or adapt the guidelines as their version of “safe sleep.”These parents feel they are being set up for failure, due to a lack of guidance to get their baby to sleep in a safe sleep environment. Parents want assistance grounded in the reality of the challenges
and choices they face to get their babies to sleep while keeping
them safe.

THE SPECIAL SENCES- Unlocking the Wonders of the Special Senses: Sight, Sound...
Title: Unlocking the Wonders of the Special Senses: Sight, Sound, Smell, Taste, and Balance
Introduction:
Welcome to our captivating SlideShare presentation on the Special Senses, where we delve into the extraordinary capabilities that allow us to perceive and interact with the world around us. Join us on a sensory journey as we explore the intricate structures and functions of sight, sound, smell, taste, and balance.
The special senses are our primary means of experiencing and interpreting the environment, each sense providing unique and vital information that shapes our perceptions and responses. These senses are facilitated by highly specialized organs and complex neural pathways, enabling us to see a vibrant sunset, hear a symphony, savor a delicious meal, detect a fragrant flower, and maintain our equilibrium.
In this presentation, we will:
Visual System (Sight): Dive into the anatomy and physiology of the eye, exploring how light is converted into electrical signals and processed by the brain to create the images we see. Understand common vision disorders and the mechanisms behind corrective measures like glasses and contact lenses.
Auditory System (Hearing): Examine the structures of the ear and the process of sound wave transduction, from the outer ear to the cochlea and auditory nerve. Learn about hearing loss, auditory processing, and the advances in hearing aid technology.
Olfactory System (Smell): Discover the olfactory receptors and pathways that enable the detection of thousands of different odors. Explore the connection between smell and memory and the impact of olfactory disorders on quality of life.
Gustatory System (Taste): Uncover the taste buds and the five basic tastes – sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami. Delve into the interplay between taste and smell and the factors influencing our food preferences and eating habits.
Vestibular System (Balance): Investigate the inner ear structures responsible for balance and spatial orientation. Understand how the vestibular system helps maintain posture and coordination, and explore common vestibular disorders and their effects.
Through engaging visuals, interactive diagrams, and insightful explanations, we aim to illuminate the complexities of the special senses and their profound impact on our daily lives. Whether you're a student, educator, or simply curious about how we perceive the world, this presentation will provide valuable insights into the remarkable capabilities of the human sensory system.
Join us as we unlock the wonders of the special senses and gain a deeper appreciation for the intricate mechanisms that allow us to experience the richness of our environment.

CONDUCTION SYSTEM OF THE HEART
ECG:
●ECG is a graphic record of the electrical activity of the heart.
●Electrical activity precedes the mechanical activity of the heart.
●Electrical activity has two phases:
Depolarization- contraction of muscle
Repolarization- relaxation of muscle
ECG Leads:
●6 Chest leads
●6 Limb leads
1. Bipolar Limb Leads:
Lead 1- Between right arm(-ve) and left arm(+ve)
Lead 2- Between right arm(-ve) and left leg(+ve)
Lead 3- Between left arm(-ve)
and left leg(+ve)
2. Augmented unipolar Limb Leads:
AvR- Right arm
AvL- Left arm
AvF- Left leg
3.Chest Leads:
V1 : Over 4th intercostal
space near right sternal margin
V2: Over 4th intercostal space near left sternal margin
V3:In between V2 and V4
V4:Over left 5th intercostal space on the mid
clavicular line
V5:Over left 5th intercostal space on the anterior
axillary line
V6:Over left 5th intercostal space on the mid
axillary line.
Normal ECG:
Waves of ECG:
P Wave
•P Wave is a positive wave and the first wave in ECG.
•It is also called as atrial complex.
Cause: Atrial depolarisation
Duration: 0.1 sec
QRS Complex:
•QRS’ complex is also called the initial ventricular complex.
•‘Q’ wave is a small negative wave. It is continued as the tall ‘R’ wave, which is a positive wave.
‘R’ wave is followed by a small negative wave, the ‘S’ wave.
Cause:Ventricular depolarization and atrial repolarization
Duration: 0.08- 0.10 sec
T Wave:
•‘T’ wave is the final ventricular complex and is a positive wave.
Cause:Ventricular repolarization Duration: 0.2 sec
Intervals and Segments of ECG:
P-R Interval:
•‘P-R’ interval is the interval
between the onset of ‘P’wave and onset of ‘Q’ wave.
•‘P-R’ interval cause atrial depolarization and conduction of impulses through AV node.
Duration:0.18 (0.12 to 0.2) sec
Q-T Interval:
•‘Q-T’ interval is the interval between the onset of ‘Q’
wave and the end of ‘T’ wave.
•‘Q-T’ interval indicates the ventricular depolarization
and ventricular repolarization,
i.e. it signifies the
electrical activity in ventricles.

A New Twist for Madagascar
- 1. A New Twist for Madagascar: Community listeners’ groups as an integral part of a behavior change empowerment strategy to enhance synergies and boost impact Elysée RAMAMONJISOA Behavior Change Strategy Coordinator, MAHEFA August 12, 2015
- 2. Learning Objective Value added of listeners’ groups to an overall behavior change empowerment approach in mobilizing the community, and in increasing demand and use of health services in remote areas Messages: Radio-Mass Media Listener groups: Structure for engagement and understanding Community Mobilization & ACTION
- 3. Presentation Outline Program Overview: Community-based health in Madagascar WHAT,WHY, HOW? Results and Impact Lessons Learned
- 4. MAHEFA: Community-based health in remote Madagascar Six north/northwest regions of Madagascar Integrated programming: Maternal, newborn, and child health Family planning and reproductive health Water, sanitation, and hygiene Prevention and treatment of malaria Nutrition Programs reach >4 million people (1/5 of total population)
- 5. The communities we partner with
- 9. WHY RADIO: Preferred Channel in Madagascar Radio assists community health workers (CHWs) in encouraging communities to seek their own solutions to overcome barriers via interpersonal communication activities Radio remains the preferred communication channel for the majority of Malagasy; helps to enhance and create synergies between classic channels of message transfer
- 10. Incites participants to develop an attitude of mutual assistance and jointly devise solutions Listeners’ rates are 54% for women between 15 and 49 years, and 59% for men (DHS, 2008/09)
- 11. WHAT: Mass media to reach remote areas in Madagascar Establishing a community collective listening structure Creating a favorable environment for community activities Using the research to produce communication materials promoting behavior change Reaching people in remote areas
- 12. WHY: Health Challenges High maternal mortality rate: 498 per100,000 live births High neonatal mortality rate: 24 per 1,000 for newborns Source: Madagascar, DHS, 2008/09
- 13. HOW: Studies and Formative Research • Suggest solutions to overcome barriers to practice health behavior • Cultural appropriateness • Evidence-based strategy
- 14. HOW: Creating a community function to enable messages to be better understood and promote action • Conduct an inventory of existing radios and listeners’ groups • Identify stakeholders and implementing partners • Messages must be action- driven
- 15. Monitoring and Evaluation (1) Measuring coverage and functionality of listeners’ groups (2) Measuring increases in improved practices at the level of listeners’ groups Monitoring and evaluation at two levels:
- 16. Results: Mass Media Reach and Listeners’ Groups • 608 listeners’ groups have been established • 50 radio spots, 6 children’s tales, and 5 theatrical programs produced and regularly broadcast in 3 local dialects • 26 local radio stations regularly broadcast radio formats in 6 rural areas In FY2013 & FY2014, MAHEFA invested $925,000 in its mass media program component, or 47 cents per person over two years
- 17. A New Twist, but Common Experiences 1. Do not reinvent the wheel: Choose the preferred communication channel and transform it into a discussion forum 2. Establish an engaging starting point: appeal to their interests, whether a health problem or other social issue 3. Give the community an opportunity to discuss and make joint decisions in order to improve their lives
- 18. • Establishing a network and creating synergies to facilitate access to information – New regions where programs were not previously operating – Remote areas, hard to access • Communities become agents of change • Sustainability: Creating a structure which will be in place even when mass media program ends The Importance of Networks
