Summary: This study investigates the impact of the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) on child undernutrition rates in India. The findings suggest that the NRHM may be associated with a reduction in acute undernutrition among children, but has limited impact on chronic undernutrition. Additionally, there are variations in undernutrition trends and socioeconomic disparities across different focus states.

Summary: The prevalence of good quality child care in Brazilian primary care services in the first week of life is 52.6%. Observation of breastfeeding techniques and counseling on the safest sleeping position were the least performed activities. Babies born to mothers who received a home visit from a community health worker and made a postpartum visit were more likely to receive good quality care.

Summary: This study examines the inequity in the utilization of maternal health care services (CMHS) in India between 2005-2006 and 2015-2016. The findings indicate an increase in pro-rich inequity since the implementation of the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM), with illegitimate factors playing a dominant role. Mother's education and access to media continue to contribute significantly to pro-rich inequity. The study also highlights regional variations, with high focus group states experiencing a higher percentage of pro-rich inequity.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the linkages between use of maternity services and postpartum modern contraceptive adoption. The results revealed an increase in the proportion of postpartum modern contraceptive uptake among young users, highlighting the need to promote and motivate young women to adopt modern contraception methods early after childbirth. Comprehensive maternal-child health and family planning programs should also be implemented.

Summary: After the early implementation of CCNs under the VA MISSION Act, community primary care wait times increased significantly, regardless of the implementation of CCNs or the status of rural/urban or PC HPSA appointments. This suggests that the demand for community care may have overwhelmed VA resources, resulting in limited impact of CCNs.
