  • INTRODUCTION

    1. IntroductionAuthors: Rhonda BeLue, Margaret Winchester, Caprice Knapp

    Building capacity in terms of well-equipped local researchers and service providers is a key to bridging the inequity in global health. Launched by Penn State University in 2014, the Pan Institution Network for Global Health responds to this need by bridging researchers at universities across the globe. In this chapter the Editors outline their framework for international and interdisciplinary collaboration, as well the rationale for their research areas, including a review of these two themes. The Network has established two central thematic priorities: (1) urbanization and health; and, (2) the intersection of infectious diseases and NCDs. Addressing these two priorities demands an interdisciplinary and multi-institutional model to stimulate innovation and synergy that will influence the overall framing of research questions as well as the integration and coordination of research.

    EDUCATION AND COLLABORATION  2. Addressing global health education needs of students from across the globeAuthors: Anita Kar, Dana Naughton, Aarti Nagarkar, Kristin Sznajder

    Global health competencies as defined by the Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health (ASPPH) offer a good framework to build courses and programs in global health. Such global health programs have provided opportunities for students to obtain a greater understanding of health issues confronting the developing world. There are few discussions on the relevance of available global health competencies for students from developing countries. The Pan Institution Network for Global Health (PINGH) is a growing global health resource that is forging linkages across universities around the globe to address key issues in global health, trends, and education. Drawing from PINGH members' experiences, this chapter presents three academic initiatives aimed to address the global health education needs of students in developed and developing nations, including the Global Health Exchange Partnership, an undergraduate global health minor, and a mixed online and in-person international health course. 

    3. Connecting Problems, Connecting Scholars: Creating a Sustainable Interdisciplinary Discourse Around Migration, Urbanization, and HealthAuthors: Jo Vearey, Jo Hunter-Adams, Tolu Oni, Henrietta Nyamnjoh, Tackson Makandwa, Stephen A. Matthews

    This essay describes the authors' experiences in connecting a group of emerging South African scholars around the inherently interdisciplinary subject of migration, urbanization, and health. South Africa is witnessing multiple simultaneous and interconnected transitions (health, demographics, social, economic, and political). Defining, measuring, and better understanding the dynamics and complexities of these transitions is a fundamental step in the professionalizing of next-generation scholars. The authors frame the chapter in terms of areas of priority research, and strategies for promoting mutual engagement over migrant health research. Driven by substantive questions derived from studies of the lived experiences of urban migrants in South Africa, specifically the intertwining of migration trajectories and health histories, a central goal of our collaborative endeavor was to connect the dots (i.e., key concepts, data, measures, and methods) to identify common themes and research priorities that will facilitate the participation of next-generation scholars in developing innovative and new research agendas. 

    4. Secret History: Transcultural adaptation of a training intervention promoting empathic engagement and self-case for obstetric staffAuthors: Eva Hanselmann, Michael Wirsching, Caprice Knapp, Simone Honikman

    In March 2016 the adaptation of the "Secret History" training method started as a pilot project to transfer the empathic obstetric worker training method successfully from its origin in South Africa, to Freiburg, Germany. It is an uncommon example of a transfer of a locally-developed method from the Global South to the Global North. Regardless of the direction of transfer, the challenges of cultural adaptation remain. Consequently, this chapter focuses on methods of adaptation in order to inform other researchers considering international transfer of interventions. The authors provide a brief explanation of the origins and original method of the training, give an overview of existing approaches for cultural adaptation of interventions, describe the stages involved in developing the specific cultural adaptation of "Secret History," and summarize the results of the adaptation process with a view to local acceptability of the method.

    6. Project Redemption: Conducting Research with Informal Workers in NYC, USA and Pune, IndiaAuthors: Mallika Bose, Shruti Tambe, Caprice Knapp, Margaret Winchester

    Informal workers are a challenging group to work with, due to geographically dispersed locations, undocumented migrants, and other forms of vulnerability. In this paper, the authors discuss the process through which they gained entry to work with informal workers in Pune, India and New York City, USA. In the US, they work with "canners," a population that collects recyclables and deposits them at a redemption center to collect cash refunds. Partnering with a nonprofit organization solves issues of group organization, but difficulties remain in building relationships with individuals. The authors use a combination of in-person meetings, an iterative and collaborative research design, and incentives to lay the groundwork for multi-method research with this group. In Pune, India, the authors have relied on long-term partnerships and institutional support to work with "wastepickers." This predominantly-female group has organized to leverage collective bargaining rights, but are still vulnerable and require ongoing interaction to sustain trust. 





    7. Applying a framework for urbanization to maternal and child health Authors: Caprice Knapp, Ursula Wittwer-Backofen 

    Mother and child health is one of the areas where the impacts of urbanization on health are just beginning to be explored. Urban health conceptual frameworks exist to guide researchers in this endeavor. In a collaborative project, researchers set out to determine how easy it was to find, access, and utilize data in an urban health framework on mother and child health in South Africa. This exercise was motivated by the idea that as governments, non-governmental agencies, and other entities face urbanization and its impacts, it is unclear how much rigorous research can help in decision-making. The authors sought to determine if the data that exists, collected for other purposes, could be used to do so. If not, what crucial parameters were missing, and if so, what could the data report on? Results from the study can be used to guide future data collection, utilization of existing data, and identify gaps in urban health research.



    CONCLUSION 8. Long-term prospects and global health collaboration Rhonda BeLue, Margaret Winchester, Caprice Knapp 

    In light of the successful projects of the PINGH network and the challenges in building sustainable collaboration, the Editors review progress to date and situate their Network within broader global health priorities and trends.
