“…To the best of our knowledge, there are two existing EGMs (Portela et al, 2017; Rankin et al, 2016) (listed in Table 1) that partly focus on sexual and reproductive health issues of adolescents. In addition to this, we utilized Breakthrough ACTIONs SBC for HIV Evidence Database (Breakthrough ACTION, n.d.), which has consolidated evidence about the impact of SBC on HIV‐related outcomes—including HIV testing and counseling (HTC), voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC), prevention of mother‐to‐child transmission (PMTCT), the treatment continuum, condom use, and other prevention areas—from 1999 to 2016.…”

Background Adolescent girls and young women (AGYW), aged 15–24 years, are disproportionately affected by HIV and other sexual and reproductive health (SRH) risks due to varying social, cultural, and economic factors that affect their choices and shape their knowledge, understanding, and practices with regard to their health. Socio‐Behavioral Change Communication (SBCC) interventions targeted at strengthening the capabilities of individuals and their networks have supported the demand and uptake of prevention services and participation in biomedical research. However, despite growing global recognition of the domain, high‐quality evidence on the effectiveness of SBCC remains scattered. This evidence and gap map (EGM) report characterizes the evidence base on SBCC interventions for strengthening HIV Prevention and Research among AGYW in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs), identifying evidence gaps and outlining the scope of future research and program design. Objectives The objectives of the proposed EGM are to: (a) identify and map existing EGMs in the use of diverse SBCC strategies to strengthen the adoption of HIV prevention measures and participation in research among AGYW in LMICs and (b) identify areas where more interventions and evidence are needed to inform the design of future SBCC strategies and programs for AGYW engagement in HIV prevention and research. Methods This EGM is based on a comprehensive search of systematic reviews and impact evaluations corresponding to a range of interventions and outcomes—aimed at engaging AGYW in HIV prevention and research ‐ that were published in LMICs from January 2000 to April 2021. Based on guidance for producing a Campbell Collaboration EGM, the intervention and outcome framework was designed in consultation with a group of experts. These interventions were categorized across four broad intervention themes: mass‐media, community‐based, interpersonal, and Information Communication and Technology (ICT)/Digital Media‐based interventions. They were further sub‐categorized into 15 intervention categories. Included studies looked at 23 unique behavioral and health outcomes such as knowledge attitude and skills, relationship dynamics, household dynamics, health care services, and health outcomes and research engagement. The EGM is presented as a matrix in which the rows are intervention categories/sub‐categories, and the columns are outcome domains/subdomains. Each cell is mapped to an intervention targeted at outcomes. Additional filters like region, country, study design, age group, funding agency, influencers, population group, publication status, study confidence, setting, and year of publication have been added. Selection Criteria To be eligible, studies must have tested the effectiveness of SBCC interventions at engaging AGYW in LMICs in HIV prevention and research. The study sample must have consisted of AGYW between the ages of 15–24, as defined by UNAIDS. Both experimental (random assignment) and quasi‐experimental studies that included a compariso...

“…The main concept of Posyandu is the participation of local community with healthcare personnel to help mothers and children gaining easy access for healthcare (Saepuddin et al 2018). A systematic-review concluded that community-based intervention towards mother and children is an important effort on improving MCH (Portela et al 2017). Study also showed that MCH handbook outcome is improved when communication with healthcare is increased (Hagiwara et al 2013).…”

Mothers and child health (MCH) are one of the main issues in family medicine. Related to this practice, Indonesian government issued mother and child health (MCH) handbook for monitoring child development due to various child developmental problems in Indonesia. However, there are reports of improper MCH handbook utilization. This study aimed to analyze factors related to the utilization of MCH handbook by mothers in Indonesia. Cross sectional observational study was conducted from March to May 2018. This study involved mothers with children aged 3 to 72 months old in Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia. Specific population of mothers who had children attending Early Childhood Education and Development (ECED) and Integrated Health Post (IHP) (Indonesia: Pos Pelayanan Terpadu-Posyandu) were included as inclusion criteria. Maternal characteristics, child health status, employment status, and utilization of MCH handbook were recorded through questionnaire. Association between variables then analyzed statistically using Spearman correlation test. As many as 288 participants were enrolled in this study. We found that mothers’ participation of Posyandu was positively correlated with MCH handbook utilization (p<0.05). Meanwhile, mother’s occupation (p>0.05), mothers’ education (p>0.05), and maternal age (p>0.05) were found to be unrelated to the utilization of MCH handbook. Mothers’ age, education, and employment were found to be uncorrelated with utilization of MCH handbook. Whereas, mothers’ participation in Posyandu was a determinant factor correlated with utilization of MCH handbook.

“…With over 1,000 studies, we anticipate that this EGM will serve as a rigorous evidence base that researchers and policymakers can consult to inform resource allocation and program design in pursuit of SRHR goals. (Portela et al 2017); and adolescent sexual and reproductive health interventions (Rankin et al 2016). 9 We included these studies for SRHR interventions where we found few or no IEs.…”

in China. 1 We included qualitative studies that used a causal inference approach for interventions where we found few or no IEs. 2 Two or more interventions from the evidence gap map implemented together. 3 We defined in-kind transfers as non-cash incentives that aim to influence SRHR-related behavior. This includes, for example, providing newborn products to incentivize using maternal and newborn health services.
