It's #WorldHealthDay Since 2000, maternal deaths globally declined by 40%! 💙 BUT—progress is slowing, and aid funding cuts mean major threats to lifesaving maternity services in many parts of the world. ❌
Access alone is not enough; people need high-quality care. Fewer women are dying in childbirth as access to health care has increased.Maternity service coverage has increased.Access to health care saves lives. Pregnancy can be a dangerous time in a woman's life.

There has been a lot of discussion around how to assess trustworthiness of research studies (including investigation of fraud). Some thoughts on this below, to appear in @jclinepi.bsky.social - with @davidit.bsky.social : www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

How should we assess trustworthiness of randomised controlled trials?

Imposter participants challenge research integrity in the digital age
Researchers can address potential fraud among research participants with careful planning, ethical consideration plus a commitment to protect data integrity and participant dignity.

#Census in #Iraq after over 30 years: an excellent achievement for the country. This will substantially improve the quality and reliability of health indicators. Below paper is a political analysis of wider implications of the census. It's worth critical reading! foreignpolicy.com/2024/12/23/i...

There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research. A Place of Joy.

Well some examples are "shortening it if too long!", dropping limiting Info that are best for the abstract (city, year) unless absolutely necessary, and also toning down if claiming too much. For sensitive topics avoiding no ambiguity in the title to prevent journalistic interpretations

Or unequally boring? I confess that in our journal, we propose changes in the titles with the intention of making them clearer and catchy ... but not guaranteed that it works all the time!
