Developmental psychology explores the changes and continuities in human abilities throughout life, encompassing physical, cognitive, linguistic, and social dimensions. Human development is not restricted to growth, but includes aspects of decline, particularly in physical abilities as individuals age. Developmental psychologists seek to understand how people change as they age and how their mental and social skills evolve.Developmental MilestonesA key concept in developmental psychology is...

Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.

Population Growth

29.5K
Population size is dynamic, increasing with birth rates and immigration, and decreasing with death rates and emigration. In ideal conditions with unlimited resources, populations can increase exponentially, which plots as a J-shaped growth rate curve of population size against time. This type of curve is characteristic of newly-introduced invasive species, or populations that have suffered catastrophic declines and are rebounding.

Area of Science:

  • Global Health
  • Development Studies
  • Public Health Policy

Background:

  • Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) 4 and 5 aimed to improve child and maternal health globally.
  • Assessing progress requires up-to-date data on key health indicators.
  • The transition to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) necessitates a review of past achievements and future strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate global and regional progress on MDGs 4 and 5 using the latest data.
  • To identify effective interventions for reducing maternal and child mortality.
  • To provide recommendations for maintaining focus on maternal and child health in the post-2015 development agenda.

Main Methods:

  • Review of global and regional progress indicators for MDGs 4 and 5.
  • Analysis of data from UN inter-agency groups on maternal and child mortality.
  • Synthesis of evidence on effective interventions from recent reports and studies.

Main Results:

  • Progress towards MDG 4 (child mortality) and MDG 5 (maternal health) indicators has varied globally and regionally.
  • Several effective interventions have been identified that can substantially decrease maternal and child deaths.
  • Current interventions, if implemented at scale, could surpass MDG target levels.

Conclusions:

  • Continued focus on maternal and child health is crucial beyond the MDG framework.
  • The findings inform strategies for the post-2015 era and the transition to SDGs.
  • Sustained global commitment and scaled-up interventions are necessary to further reduce preventable deaths.
