Abstract:
Abstract Objectives To determine the content, implementation, and effectiveness of policies aimed at improving breastfeeding practices in the Philippines. Methods This study used mixed methods, including a desk review of relevant policies and documents and in-depth interviews with 100 caregivers, workers, employers, health workers, and policymakers. Results Although the Philippines has a strong regulatory framework to protect breastfeeding, the implementation and effectiveness of breastfeeding policies are limited by structural and individual barriers. Structural barriers include: a lack of consistent breastfeeding promotion, limited access to skilled counselling support from health system to community level, and limited breastfeeding support in workplaces for working mothers. Inappropriate marketing of commercial milk formula, including cross-promotion and engagement of industry representatives with health professionals, persists due to gaps in legal provisions and weak monitoring and enforcement of the Philippine Milk Code. Individual barriers include failure to address early breastfeeding problems, misconceptions that undermine breastfeeding, limited knowledge and skills of health workers and caregivers, and lack of support from family members. Conclusions Breastfeeding promotion, protection, and support policies in the Philippines are consistent with global standards, but their effectiveness for improving breastfeeding practices can be improved by addressing persistent barriers at the structural and individual levels.

Abstract:
When pupils are physically healthy, they engage actively in classroom activities and perform higher in their learning. This study aimed to determine the relationship between health practices and classroom engagement. This study employed a correlational research design. It involved all sixty-three (63) minority pupils in a public elementary school in Sarangani Province in the southern Philippines during the school year 2015-2016. Tailored and modified questionnaires were used to gather the needed data. The statistical tools employed in the analysis were frequency count, percentage rate, weighted mean, and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient. The results showed that pupils display health practices to a great extent. They also exhibit a high level of classroom engagement. The analysis further revealed that there is a moderately significant relationship between health practices and classroom engagement. Hence, this study provides evidence as regards the influence of the health practices on classroom engagement. It is recommended that more comprehensive researches should be conducted in different contexts, with larger samples, and exploring the influences of other relevant variables.

Abstract:
Purpose The Philippines’ nationwide campaign on drugs has been under the limelight due to its controversial approaches in dealing with the problem of addiction. Despite the government’s current efforts, substance use disorders continue to persist within the population. The purpose of this paper is to provide recommendations for addressing the issue of substance use disorder treatment through a modification of the therapeutic community (TC) in the Philippine context. Design/methodology/approach This conceptual paper reviews the existing facts about the Philippines’ campaign against drugs, the approaches implemented by the government, current state and research developments of TCs, and its resulting impact on contemporary evidence-based treatment for addiction in the country. Findings A treatment framework outlining a recovery-oriented therapeutic community (ROTC) is presented. The ROTC aims to address addiction as a chronic, relapsing disease. This alternative approach for addiction treatment in the Philippines is based on the concept of recovery, principles of effective substance use disorder treatment, and recent developments in TC best practices from the international community. Originality/value This paper discusses different recommendations for policy development, interventions and research, aimed at improving the odds of securing recovery for people suffering from addiction.

Abstract:
Goat farming is one of the sources of livelihood in Catarman, Camiguin.&nbsp; However, the management practices of goat farming need to be evaluated.&nbsp; Hence, this study aimed to assess the feeding, housing, and health management practices of goats in the municipality of Catarman.&nbsp; A total of 121 farmers were interviewed utilizing a structured questionnaire in the fourteen (14) barangays of Catarman, Camiguin.&nbsp; Descriptive statistics (frequency count, percentage distribution, ranking were used to analyze the data. Results showed that more than 50% were aged 36-55 years, majority were male (80 or 66.12%), mostly had reached secondary level (72 or 59.51%) and 104 or 85.95% were dependent in farming with an average of 1-5 heads of goats.&nbsp; Out of the 564 goat population, mostly were female kids (117 or 20.74%), and almost half (44.32%) were native breeds.&nbsp; The housing facilities were mainly made of bamboo slats, 49 (40.50%). Tethering, 88 (72.73%) through rotational grazing was the common practice with native species of grasses and considered a problem by 114 (94.21%) farmers. Health management of goats showed 44 (36.36%) farmers practiced deworming, 19 (15.70%) applied vaccines, 20 (16.53%) managed to supplement vitamins, 16 (13.22%) provided antibiotics and 22 (18.88%) with no supplementation and disease control.&nbsp; Based on the findings of the study, goat raisers in Catarman, Camiguin, need appropriate training with greater emphasis on the feeding, housing and health management in an effort to enhance their knowledge and skills on these farm management practices. published by the&nbsp; <strong>Journal of Biodiversity and Environmental Sciences (JBES)</strong>

Abstract:
The Philippines has adopted policies to protect, promote, and support breastfeeding on par with global standards, yet the impact of these policies is not well understood. This study assesses the adequacy and potential impact of breastfeeding policies, as well as the perceptions of stakeholders of their effectiveness and how to address implementation barriers. This mixed methods study entailed a desk review of policies and documents and in-depth interviews with 100 caregivers, employees, employers, health workers, and policymakers in the Greater Manila Area. Although the Philippines has a comprehensive breastfeeding policy framework, its effectiveness was limited by structural and individual barriers. Structural barriers included inconsistent breastfeeding promotion, limited access of mothers to skilled counseling, limited workplace breastfeeding support, gaps in legal provisions, weak monitoring and enforcement of the Philippine Milk Code, and the short duration and limited coverage of maternity leave. Individual barriers included knowledge and skills gaps, misconceptions, and low self-confidence among mothers due to insufficient support to address breastfeeding problems, misconceptions in the community that undermine breastfeeding, limited knowledge and skills of health workers, and insufficient support extended to mothers by household members. Breastfeeding policies in the Philippines are consistent with global standards, but actions to address structural and individual barriers are needed to enhance their effectiveness for improving breastfeeding practices.

Abstract : This descriptive-quantitative study assessed the personal hygiene practices among the Sama Badjaos in Surigao City. The main instruments used to gather the data were researcher-made questionnaires. The study respondents were 68 Badjao respondents of P-1, Barangay Canlanipa, Surigao City, whose ages are 16 years old and above. This research utilized a descriptive quantitative research design, employing survey techniques and researcher-made questionnaires as the primary methodological approach. The design aimed to gather data through surveys in order to explore and analyze the phenomenon under investigation. The findings showed that there were significant differences in different categories of personal hygiene practices when the respondents were grouped according to their age, sex, and educational attainment. The study&rsquo;s findings highlighted a significant degree of variance in the respondents&rsquo; hygiene practices with respect to the profile variables including bathing, oral and hand hygiene, clothing, and more. The study recommended sharing these findings with health organizations to disseminate information within the Badjao community via health education programs. Furthermore, presenting the findings to local officials and parents was suggested to improve hygiene practices. Lastly, based on the findings, future researchers were advised to address gaps by using visual aids and achieving a balanced respondent distribution.

Abstract:
This study aimed to evaluate the level of academic pressure experienced by university scholars in the Philippines across five dimensions: self-expectation, workload, despondency, study-related pressure, and worry about grades. Additionally, it examined the scholars' formation of health habits in six areas: water intake, rest, physical activity, nutrition/diet, temperance, and overall physical condition. The study also explored the relationship between academic pressure and health habits. Findings revealed that the scholars experienced a relatively high level of academic pressure, with self-expectation emerging as the most significant source. Conversely, the scholars exhibited a low level of healthy practices, particularly in the area of rest, which was identified as the least practiced health habit. On a positive note, temperance was highlighted as the most favorable health behavior, reflecting the scholars' ability to exercise moderation.

Abstract:
This study, focusing on the Philippines, explores the benefits of implementing IoT (Internet of Things) technologies in modern agriculture. The primary objectives are to assess the impact of IoT on crop monitoring, livestock tracking, weather monitoring, automated irrigation, precision steering, greenhouse automation, and field mapping. The research methodology involved an extensive review of the current literature on IoT applications in agriculture and interviews and surveys with farmers and agricultural experts in the Philippines. Data were collected and analyzed to understand IoT adoption's practical implications and challenges in various agrarian domains. The findings indicate that IoT technologies offer significant advantages in enhancing agricultural practices in the Philippines. IoT-based crop monitoring provides real-time data on environmental conditions, enabling farmers to optimize irrigation, fertilization, and pest control. Livestock tracking through IoT ensures animal well-being and efficient breeding practices. IoT-based weather monitoring aids in informed decision-making for crop protection and risk management. Automated irrigation using IoT sensors reduces water wastage while improving crop health. Precision steering systems enhance resource management during planting and harvesting. Greenhouse automation optimizes plant growth conditions and reduces manual labour. Field mapping via IoT allows for site-specific management, improving yield and sustainability. Despite the benefits, challenges like internet connectivity and initial investment remain, necessitating comprehensive strategies for IoT integration in Philippine agriculture.

Abstract:
Food safety is a fundamental public health concern that is dependent on various factors such as changing global food production patterns, public expectations, and international trade policies.1,2 As a member of the World Trade Organization, the Philippines has agreed to follow the Uruguay Round of Trade Organization, the Sanitary and Phytosanitary Agreement and Technical Barriers to Trade that permits countries to take legitimate measures to protect life and health of their consumers in relation to food safety matters while prohibiting them from using those measures in a way that unjustifiably restricts food trade.3,4,5 The Philippines is also a member of the Codex Alimentarius Commission that aims to ensure consumer protection and to facilitate international trade.6 With these objectives, Codex focuses on the development of food standards based on risk analysis and independent scientific advice provided by expert bodies organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Health Organization.7 Risk analysis is a systematic and disciplined methodology that provides policymakers with the science-based information and evidence needed for effective and transparent decision-making, leading to improvements in food safety and public health.8 In the Philippines, Republic Act No. 10611 or the Food Safety Act of 2013, serves as the framework for implementing the farm to fork food safety regulatory system which ensures a high level of consumer health protection, fair trade practices and global competitiveness of Philippine foods by controlling hazards in the food chain, adoption of precautionary measures based on scientific risk analysis, and adoption of international standards.9

Iskander, Dalia. "Exposing multiple malarias : a photo-ethnography of young people's malaria-related health practice in the Philippines." Thesis, Durham University, 2015. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/11338/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis explores malaria in the municipality of Bataraza in the Philippines. It shows how multiple versions of malaria exist inside (and in between) various bodies. These malarias are situated in both time and space, emerge interrelationally and are enacted through embodied practice. It focuses on young people in this context and shows how their identity is similarly enacted through practice. With this in mind, the thesis critically examines how photovoice, a participatory action research method can be used to both depict young people’s malaria-related health practice as well as potentially alter it. During a 15-week photovoice project, 44 school-going children took photographs of their lived experience of different malarias and worked in groups to identify possible changes they might make. As a result of engaging in the photovoice process, young people’s interactions with each other and their families appeared to change as well as their role in promoting health in relation to others. However, in contrast to the literature that highlights the ability of approaches like photovoice to ‘empower’ individuals to make changes to their lives by generating critical consciousness, this thesis makes a unique theoretical contribution by suggesting that photovoice might be effective precisely because it directly operates at and therefore interacts with the level of situated, relational and embodied practice. Taking seriously the context-specific, situated, relational and embodied nature of practice is a key message of this thesis, with important implications for behaviour change initiatives.

Abstract:
The eleven chapters in this volume were selected from presentations made at the 4th World Conference on Qualitative Research held in Porto in October 2019. The chapters are wide-ranging substantively, methodologically, and geographically. The authors write about their research experiences or teaching innovations in India, the United States, Portugal, the Philippines, France, Italy, Columbia and there are two chapters each from Brazil and South Africa. The 11 chapters presented in three thematic sections focus on qualitative research at work, qualitative health research, and teaching and learning qualitative research. The substantive topics are eclectic ranging from young people adjusting to a chronic kidney diagnosis, rural health inequality, intimate partner violence among adolescents, emotional labor of French sales staff to inventive ways to teach students unfamiliar with qualitative research. Methodologically these chapters adopt a diverse range of techniques as if current qualitative research practice does not use a unified methodology. It does not. Techniques included the traditional narrative research, unstructured interviews, community based participatory research to the more innovative critical incident and basic content analysis to those that used computer analysis to facilitate qualitative research.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract This chapter, Chemical Supplementing, presents ethnographies of young people who use a variety of supplements in order to optimize their health. In the Philippines, boys take multivitamins with the hope of increasing their height, reflecting the importance of stature in their society, and young professionals take expensive supplements to improve their stamina for their demanding distribution jobs in a multilevel marketing company. In fitness centers, young women use proteins and fortified shakes to achieve an idealized, lean, and muscular body. In health and vitamin stores in Amsterdam, growing numbers of young people are buying, sharing, and promoting their personal concoctions of proteins and vitamins. These supplementing practices stem from young people’s various needs: to respond to the demands of service sector labor, to recover from the strain of night work, to indulge in the pleasure of weekend raves, and to manage growing concerns about environmental toxins. By zooming in on supplementing practices of these different groups of young people, we get a clearer understanding of their shared sense of vulnerability, and of the need for better regulation of the supplements industry.

Abstract:
AbstractExisting Trust &amp; Safety policies predominantly focus on protecting content moderators’ (CoMos) safety against severe content violations. Nevertheless, in reality, CoMos might encounter content across a broad severity spectrum while perceptions of content severity among CoMos are yet to be fully understood in relation to their well-being and job accuracy. The current study employs a sequential study design to qualitatively examine the views of 34 CoMos in the USA and the Philippines and of 166 professionals (i.e., mental health and learning experience staff, team leads) supporting CoMos on content severity and its perceived impact on CoMos well-being and job accuracy. Of note, consistent with ethical guidelines and wellness best practices, all CoMos received tiered wellness support services from TaskUs Inc. Collected data were thematically analyzed and two overarching themes emerged. Within the first theme, namely, ‘perceived content categories’, both CoMos and professionals, after considering the potential distress caused by various contents, broadly distinguished between ‘moderate’ and ‘graphic’ content, while they further attributed their own definitions to each of the two categories. Under theme two—‘content impact on perceived stress- most study participants discussed how reviewing moderate content might have a more detrimental impact upon CoMos stress and job accuracy compared to reviewing graphic content in the lack of wellness support and care. This study is the first of its kind to give voice to both CoMos and support staff to discuss in depth their views on content moderation while also making participant-led recommendations for work policy and future research.

Abstract:
Blended, online, and open learning (BOL) has been heralded as the future of higher education. Achieving quality higher education for all through BOL requires a robust, resilient BOL ecosystem comprising institutions interacting at different levels as a community of providers in an environment with the resources and support mechanisms necessary for growth. This chapter explores the idea of a BOL ecosystem in the Philippines, and describes a program called Sustainable Institution Building for Open Learning (SIBOL, the Filipino word for “to sprout” or “to grow”) that aims to foster effective BOL practice within institutions and across the BOL ecosystem. While the chapter focuses on the Philippines, the challenges of systemic change in a postdigital world pertain to higher education systems everywhere. An ecosystems perspective is a catalyst for thinking about how a healthy BOL ecosystem might be fostered amidst the complexities of digital education in varied and unequal contexts.

Anchored on the social exchange theory, this chapter examines the indirect effect of employee engagement on the relationship between high-performance work practices (HPWPs) and employee performance in a public higher education context. The participants were select teaching and non-teaching personnel of a public state university in the Philippines (n = 200). The results of using a predictive research approach and partial least squares (PLS) path modeling using WarpPLS 8.0 revealed that HPWPs have a significant and direct effect on employee engagement and performance. Moreover, employee engagement was found to have a considerable impact on employee performance, and act as a mediator on the relationship between HPWPs and employee performance. Both practical and theoretical implications were provided in this study.

Abstract:
The University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman College of Human Kinetics offers a Physical Education (PE) class called Mindfulness for Health and Well-being (MHW), aimed at teaching mental health skills and promoting pro-social behavior among college students through mindfulness practices and cognitive behavioral therapy exercises. The Centre for Mindfulness Studies Toronto and FriendlyCare Foundation, Inc. developed the curriculum and tested it in a randomized controlled trial funded by the Templeton World Charity Foundation. This course seeks to enhance Filipino traits such as empathy, compassion, and altruism by strengthening mental health skills, including attention control, emotional regulation, and self-awareness. Following the trial, UP Diliman continued to offer MHW as a PE elective, taking initial steps to address long-standing gaps in mental health education, skill-building, help-seeking behaviors, and destigmatization.

Abstract:
This case focuses on how gender integration was embedded within the practices and administration of a tertiary hospital in the Philippines. The programme was selected as a promising practice because BGHMC stands out as an example of how to address gender inequalities and improve cultural competence. Based on in-depth analyses of interviews and published materials, it examines the contextual factors that gave rise to the institutionalisation of gender integration in BGHMC, the enabling factors and challenges encountered, outcomes achieved, and lessons learned, including those that might be transferable to other contexts.

Ulep, Valerie Gilbert. The Determinants of the Socioeconomic Inequality and the Trajectory of Child Stunting in the Philippines. Philippine Institute for Development Studies, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.62986/dp2023.04.

Full text
Abstract:
About a third of Filipino children are stunted or chronically malnourished. However, there is a paucity of evidence on the socioeconomic inequalities of stunting in the Philippines. This study has two objectives. First, it discusses various determinants of the large socioeconomic disparity in stunting. Second, it models the trajectory of stunting until 2030 should the country expand the coverage of key nutrition and health interventions. Based on the authors’ previous decomposition analysis, maternal nutritional status and education factors, quality of prenatal care, and child diet are significant drivers of the disparity. Furthermore, using a compartment-based model, it finds a 10-percentage point reduction in the prevalence of stunting, with the expansive promotion of infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices and complementary food interventions. Lastly, the authors note that addressing the socioeconomic disparity in child stunting and universal provision of nutrition and health interventions puts the country on track to its 2030 Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target.

Full text
Abstract:
Early childhood care and development (ECCD) discourse, policy, and research have understandably focused on parents—their roles, knowledge, practices, and lived experiences. However, it truly “takes a village” to raise a child, particularly in an intergenerational, communal society like the Philippines, where both historical and future trends indicate a greater involvement of various “significant others” in the pag-aalaga (i.e., care or nurturing) of children. This report examines how Filipino parents approach early childhood development, emphasizing the central roles of various actors—parents, siblings, grandparents, domestic helpers (yayas, kasambahays), and community members (e.g., barangay health workers)—in shaping children's early development. Inspired by 17 key informant interviews and a review of the social sciences literature, we map the different participants in ECCD and propose ways to leverage their involvement to improve child health and education outcomes.

Full text
Abstract:
The integration of different levels of local health systems into Province- or City-wide Health Systems (P/CWHS) in the Philippines is a reform that is designed to help the achievement of a responsive and efficient health system, financial and social risk protection, and better health outcomes. The majority of Universal Health Care Integration Sites (UISs) have already achieved the Key Result Areas (KRAs) for the Preparatory and Organized Levels. Using the case study approach, this study aimed to explore how local government units (LGUs) and other stakeholders have navigated through the transition process given existing policies and frameworks. It looked into the P/CWHS components and the experiences of the provinces of Bataan and South Cotabato in the integration process, and determined enabling and facilitating factors, innovations, and challenges. Enabling and facilitating factors include LGU initiative and appreciation of P/CWHS benefits; partnerships of provinces with national government agencies (NGAs), nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), development agencies, and private sector that provide technical and financial assistance; presence of legal instruments; and optimization of existing monitoring systems. LGUs have also carried out innovative practices such as documenting efforts during the initial stages and engaging development partners and NGOs that increase understanding of P/CWHS, help address challenging KRA and Health Care Provider Network (HCPN) requirements, and generally facilitate transition. Challenges have, nevertheless, been encountered. These obstacles include the limited awareness of the LGU roles and responsibilities, time and resource costs of requirements to fully integrate and transition, piecemeal understanding of P/CWHS and Universal Health Care (UHC) reforms among local leaders, lack of guidance on how the private sector can integrate, lack of technical assistance from the Central Office, and lack of interoperability of datasets from various health information systems of provinces. Given the findings, this study provides the following policy recommendations to scale up the integration efforts: ensure proper communication of accurate information to stakeholders; jumpstart discussions on private sector integration into the HCPN; implement, evaluate, and progressively enhance the financing reforms to be implemented; provide resources to augment LGU funding for transition requirements; and incorporate plans to ensure optimal participation of the population in the P/CWHS.

Wong, John, Stephanie Anne Co, Cheyenne Ariana Erika Modina, et al. An Outcome Evaluation of the Philippine Health Technology Assessment Program. Philippine Institute for Development Studies, 2022. https://doi.org/10.62986/dp2022.59.

Full text
Abstract:
The passage of the UHC law in 2019 mandated the creation of the Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Program to identify and recommend the most cost-effective health technologies for the Philippine government to procure. Since its inception, the HTA has mainly assessed COVID-19-related technologies. But with changing demands, current HTA processes must be evaluated for their relevance and usefulness post-pandemic and performance relative to international best practices. More importantly, there is a need to assess the far-reaching impacts of pricing and procurement on end users. Given these criteria, this study reviewed HTA policies and assessed end-user outcomes. Special attention was given to the utilization, assessment, and satisfaction with the processes, reports, and recommendations of the HTA by end users. Multiple factors, including changes in leadership and the COVID-19 pandemic, have delayed the HTA roadmap. However, end users still utilize HTA assessments and recommendations in agenda setting, policy formulation, decisionmaking, and procurement. This was especially apparent for technologies related to COVID-19. But despite these achievements, much can be improved. The HTA must navigate through the challenges of inadequate local data. It must also consider adopting international best practices and adding human resources to increase assessment capacity and improve current processes. Finally, the program must transition to essential medicine and technologies for high-burden diseases and widen its scope, given its value to agencies involved in improving public health.

Sustainable Development Goal 4 on Quality Education for All: How Does the Philippines Fare and What Needs to Be Done? Philippine Institute for Development Studies, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.62986/dp2023.16.

Full text
Abstract:
The Global Goal of ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all promotes equality in access to quality learning, supports economic development, improves health outcomes, empowers women and girls, and fosters global citizenship and peace. By reducing inequities in education, both in terms of access and quality, we can help to build a more equitable, prosperous, and sustainable world. This study provides a detailed examination of the progress of the Philippines in achieving Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4) on quality education and lifelong learning opportunities for all. It sets the stage by outlining the Philippine educational policy landscape, including its legal and institutional frameworks. The analysis then progresses to a target-by-target review of SDG 4, highlighting the nation's accomplishments and ongoing challenges. Notable achievements include nearly universal primary education enrollment and increased secondary education participation. However, issues like high dropout rates and subpar learning outcomes remain. The Philippines has also seen growth in early childhood development (ECD) and pre-primary education enrollments, yet access for disadvantaged children is still limited. The country has policies to enhance access to affordable technical, vocational, and higher education, but the quality of these programs and their alignment with future skills needs improvement. Inclusive education initiatives exist, such as programs for learners with disabilities and indigenous communities, but challenges in ensuring universal quality education persist. A shift in education outcomes in favor of girls is observed, with boys now more likely to drop out than girls across various educational levels and girls doing better than boys in learning. While literacy rates appear high, the need to redefine literacy measurements, considering issues like digital skills, is evident. Progress in school infrastructure development is significant, especially with the K-12 rollout, but enhancing learning environments, including using technology for learning, remains crucial. The Philippines boasts a large teaching workforce, yet there is a pressing need to elevate teacher training quality and align it with future skill requirements. The study pinpoints critical improvement areas, including addressing the root causes of learning deficits, implementing an open data policy, and refining teacher training and workload. Concluding with a call to action, the study underscores the necessity of a comprehensive strategy to tackle educational challenges holistically, with integrated planning among the three main government agencies tasked to manage the sector. It suggests developing specific targets for inclusive quality education. This comprehensive review offers valuable insights and practical recommendations for stakeholders to ensure the Philippines fulfills its commitment to quality education for all by 2030.

Abstract:
In low-resource settings, obtaining accurate weight-for-height Z-scores can be challenging. This is due to factors such as the lack of equipment to measure height and weight accurately and the minimal training of community health workers. To address this issue, the Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) serves as a simple tool to identify wasted children. However, some researchers and practitioners argue that relying solely on MUAC may fail to identify many wasted children, leading to delayed intervention and potential death. This study aims to determine the most effective MUAC cutoffs for accurately detecting wasting based on Weight-for-Height z-scores (WHZ) in Filipino children aged 6-59 months. To achieve this, the 2018-2019 Expanded National Nutrition Survey (ENNS) was analyzed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of MUAC cutoffs in identifying moderate and severe wasting. The optimal cutoff is defined as the cutoff that yields the highest AUROC curve. The findings indicate that the current MUAC cutoffs demonstrated poor performance in identifying severe wasting (sensitivity: 13%; specificity: 99%; AUROC: 0.558) and moderate wasting (sensitivity: 22%; specificity: 96%; AUROC: 0.0586). The optimal MUAC cutoff for identifying severe wasting was found to be &lt;13.6cm (sensitivity: 62%; specificity: 76%; AUROC: 0.690), while for moderate wasting, the optimal cutoff was 14.0cm (sensitivity: 80%; specificity: 67%; AUROC: 0.737). Although the optimal MUAC cutoff was not significantly influenced by gender, it did vary with age. A combination of WAZ &lt; -2 or MUAC ≤ 12.7cm (sensitivity: 84%; specificity: 78%; AUROC: 0.810) for moderate wasting and WAZ &lt; -2 or MUAC ≤ 11.7cm (sensitivity: 80%; specificity: 80%; AUROC: 0.800) for severe wasting provided the optimal criteria. These cutoffs demonstrated significantly improved diagnostic sensitivity, albeit with acceptable decreases in specificity. The results from this study aim to contribute to the development of local and global evidence to enhance the identification and management of acute malnutrition. This will improve access and coverage of the Philippine Integrated Management of Acute Malnutrition (PIMAM) services. Thus, it is essential to consider alternative case definitions that incorporate both Weight-for-Age Z-score (WAZ) and Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) when Weight-for-Height Z-score (WHZ) indicators are not feasible. Furthermore, conducting additional implementation studies is crucial to validate these findings and gain insights into their practical application and cost implications for the health system. This approach will support effective and sustainable improvements in identifying and treating acute malnutrition in the Philippines.

Abstract:
This Policy Note explores the broader social network involved in early childhood care and development (ECCD), challenging the traditional parent-centric approach that often dominates policy and practice. It highlights that while the parent-child relationship is central to ECCD, focusing solely on parents can overlook the broader network of caregivers. In the Philippine context, where child-rearing is often intergenerational and community-based, various actors—siblings, grandparents, household helpers, day care workers, and local health workers—play vital roles in a child’s early development. The findings reaffirm the notion that it "takes a village to raise a child" and argue for a more inclusive framework in ECCD that acknowledges the diverse caregiving environment surrounding young children. Thus, it suggests that ECCD policies should be responsive to the diverse needs of all significant caregivers involved.

Beliefs and practices about reproductive tract infections: Findings from a series of Philippine FGDs. Population Council, 1997. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh1997.1012.

Full text
Abstract:
The past decade has been characterized by increasing concern about the medical, social, and economic problems associated with reproductive tract infections (RTIs). The goal of preventing and curing RTIs is now being prioritized by public health agencies in the developing world. Very little research has been conducted on the problem of RTIs in the local context, and it would be helpful for program managers if the knowledge and beliefs now being held about RTIs were more clearly delineated. Knowing more about the way in which these illnesses are viewed by the community, about traditional practices for preventing and curing RTIs, and about the results of ongoing public health initiatives designed to deal with these conditions is also needed. The present study, as this report states, utilizes a qualitative research technique known as focus group discussions as a means of stimulating people to speak up on this subject. While the study won’t provide precise statistical profiles of study respondents, it should allow a first-hand glimpse of the ways in which RTIs are perceived and responded to by a group of "typical" Filipinos.

Male involvement through reproductive health awareness in Bukidnon Province, the Philippines: An intervention study. Population Council, 1998. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh1998.1052.

Full text
Abstract:
Recent years have been characterized by an increasing consensus that, in order to support women's goals and aspirations, health programs directed to the improvement of women's and children's health must consider men's perspectives. Although family planning (FP) is often viewed as the woman's responsibility, men have an important role in decisions of whether FP will be practiced and which method will be used. Even though gender relations in the Philippines are often characterized as being relatively egalitarian, there are several reasons for believing that male involvement in FP is highly relevant for this country. Studies indicate that not only are Filipino husbands accorded a disproportionate share of power in conjugal decision-making about matters pertaining to sexuality, fertility, and FP, but also that their reluctance to use FP is a contributory factor underlying the country’s significant unmet need. As stated in this report, the long-term goal of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of involving men as partners in the Reproductive Health Awareness intervention on the basis of degree of support for FP use, use of male-oriented methods, and more couple communication on family formation matters.
