Countdown to 2015 country case studies: what can analysis of national health financing contribute to understanding MDG 4 and 5 progress?
(BioMed Central, 2016)Background: Countdown to 2015 (Countdown) supported countries to produce case studies that examine how and why progress was made toward the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) 4 and 5. Analysing how health-financing data ... -
Countdown to 2015 country case studies: what have we learned about processes and progress towards MDGs 4 and 5?
(BioMed Central, 2016)Background: Countdown to 2015 was a multi-institution consortium tracking progress towards Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) 4 and 5. Case studies to explore factors contributing to progress (or lack of progress) in ... -
Countervailing effects of income, air pollution, smoking, and obesity on aging and life expectancy: population-based study of U.S. Counties
(BioMed Central, 2016)Background: Income, air pollution, obesity, and smoking are primary factors associated with human health and longevity in population-based studies. These four factors may have countervailing impacts on longevity. This ... -
Countries’ Biomedical Publications and Attraction Scores
(F1000Research, 2014)Studying publication volumes at the country level is key to understanding and improving a country’s research system. PubMed is a public search engine of publications in all life sciences areas. Here, we show how this search ... -

Coverage and timing of antenatal care among poor women in 6 Mesoamerican countries
(BioMed Central, 2016)Background: Poor women in the developing world have a heightened need for antenatal care (ANC) but are often the least likely to attend it. This study examines factors associated with the number and timing of ANC visits ... -
Coverage recommendations for methylation analysis by whole genome bisulfite sequencing
(2014)Whole genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) allows genome-wide DNA methylation profiling but the associated high sequencing costs continue to limit its widespread application. We utilized several high coverage reference data ... -
