Background: Since 2000, only a few countries have substantially reduced the burden of anemia among women 15–49 y of age. The Exemplars in Anemia Reduction among Women of Reproductive Age (WRA) studied the determinants of success among these countries. Objectives: To describe the methodology used to determine the factors associated with anemia reduction in high-performing countries, with the aim to guide policy and programmatic decisions in other countries with similar sociodemographic and health indices.
Background: Few countries have succeeded to decrease the prevalence of anemia in women of reproductive age (WRA), and where improvements have been observed, contributing factors are not well understood. Objectives: To synthesize cross-cutting findings from specific exemplar studies in Uganda, Senegal, the Philippines, and Pakistan by reviewing anemia trends, policies, and programs, comparing drivers of change, and proposing strategies to achieve further reductions in WRA anemia.
Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) poses a significant threat to the well-being of women and girls and is a highly prevalent form of gender-based violence. Evidence regarding the nutritional implications of IPV has focused primarily on intergenerational relationships with child nutrition and growth. There remains a knowledge gap regarding the association with women's own dietary intake. Objectives: We investigated relationships between past-year IPV (physical, emotional, and sexual) and women's dietary habits, using the Minimum Dietary Diversity for Women tool.

Engaging in philanthropic activities is being pursued by many well-established supply chains. Donations are a form of charitable activities that not only promote the social responsibility of a corporation but also enhance its public image, which in turn creates more benefits for the supply chain. Prosocial preferences of customers are considered the primary drivers that persuade supply chains to donate. In this chapter, various donation programs within supply chains are introduced, and the challenges associated with them are briefly discussed.

This chapter aligns well with several SDGs. It directly supports SDG 3 (Good Health and Well‑being) by improving reproductive health, family planning, and early detection of conditions. It advances SDG 5 (Gender Equality) by empowering women with knowledge and control over fertility. The use of AI and wearables promotes SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure) through healthcare innovation, and it can help address SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities) if deployed equitably. To fully realize alignment, attention to data privacy, affordability, and regulatory oversight is needed. "

Foraging wild plants and mushrooms can be both beneficial and detrimental to biodiversity. We examine the role of stewardship practices, which are grounded in care, knowledge, and agency, in fostering sustainable use of wild species. These practices are pervasive among foragers across social–ecological systems yet neglected in research and policymaking.

This study reviews the growth and current state of the specialty of emergency medicine (EM) around the world. The 2023 World Health Assembly resolution emphasized emergency care as a cost-effective means to reduce health disparities and called for increased investment in emergency and critical care. Although EM is an increasingly recognized medical specialty, its growth faces barriers such as insufficient training programs, workforce shortages, and systemic challenges including resource shortages and burnout.
