Policy Brief: Mental Health in Zamboanga del Norte
Zamboanga del Norte is a province in Mindanao which includes six municipalities that were randomly chosen to be part of the research sites of the mhPAD study.

Mapping geographical inequalities in childhood diarrhoeal morbidity and mortality in low-income and middle-income countries
Across low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), one in ten deaths in children younger than 5 years is attributable to diarrhoea. The substantial between-country variation in both diarrhoea incidence and mortality is attributable to interventions that protect children, prevent infection, and treat disease. Identifying subnational regions with the highest burden and mapping associated risk factors can aid in reducing preventable childhood diarrhoea.
