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.
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. ❌

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...

#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!

We feel very welcome, here at Bluesky. For all new followers, we aim to post skeets on articles appearing in the @jclinepi.bsky.social. Mostly methods-focused articles but also articles explaining concepts relevant to understand important concepts in epidemiology:

‘A place of joy’: why scientists are joining the rush to Bluesky Researchers say the social-media platform — an alternative to X — offers more control over the content they see and the people they engage with.: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-03784-6
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!
