    Factors affecting continued use of subcutaneous depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA-SC): A secondary analysis of a 1-year randomized trial in Malawi

    This paper assessed supply and demand factors that influence the use of subcutaneous depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA-SC). The data show that continuation did not seem to be influenced by women's sociodemographic characteristics or the type of provider that trained the client to self-inject, whether clinic-based provider or community health worker. The results show that public-sector community health workers in low-resource settings can safely and effectively provide DMPA-SC and train women to self-inject the method.

    Comparison of an interactive 24-h recall and weighed food record for measuring energy and nutrient intakes from complementary foods among 9-10-month-old Malawian infants consuming lipid-based nutrient supplements

    This paper assessed the relative validity of maternal 24-hour recalls compared to a weighed record of nutrition intake. The study shows there can be recall bias, with mothers reporting more supplement consumption than observed in a weighed record. The findings have implications for understanding and evaluating impacts of such interventions.

    Community health priorities: Lessons for malaria prevention from Balaka district, Malawi

    Communication about priority health challenges typically uses epidemiological research while referencing global and country strategies. This study explored the relationship between situational aspects of health and community insights into health priorities. The authors suggest that regular assessment of contextual challenges in high malaria incidence areas provides opportunities to understand gaps, refine intervention strategies and inform communication programming.

    Effect of self-administration versus provider-administered injection of subcutaneous depot medroxyprogesterone acetate on continuation rates in Malawi: A randomised controlled trial

    The authors found that women who self-administered subcutaneous depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA-SC) led to a more than 50 percent increase in pregnancy protection through 12 months compared with provider-administered injection. The findings demonstrate that self-injection can address the stubborn problem of early contraceptive discontinuation and that community health workers can safely train women to self-inject. Malawi plans to introduce DMPA-SC self-injection based on these positive findings.
