The Knowledge for Health (K4Health) project is pleased to announce the release of a special supplement to the Journal of Health Communication titled Meeting the Information Needs of Health Care Providers, Program Managers, and Policy Makers in Low and Middle Income Countries. Our own Knowledge Management (KM) Director Tara Sullivan is one of the supplement’s guest editors, along with: Neil Pakenham-Walsh, coordinator of Health Information for All by 2015 (HIFA2015) and co-director of the Global Healthcare Information Network; and Symphrose Ouma, Chair of the Kenya Chapter of the Association for Health Information and Libraries in Africa (AHILA).
Over the course of the K4Health project, JHU·CCP and our partners FHI 360 and Management Sciences for Health (MSH) have conducted a series of country-level qualitative studies of family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH) information needs. The results of the India, Malawi, and Senegal assessments are included in this special issue of Journal of Health Communication, along with other related articles and commentary pieces.
