In 2023, a total of 40 peer-reviewed journal publications were supported by PSI projects or had PSI-affiliated co-authors. These publications feature research from 24 countries and have generated insights in cross-cutting areas including <\/span>self-care<\/span><\/a> e <\/span>digital consumer<\/span><\/a> e <\/span>digital healthcare provider solutions<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>market-based approaches<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

These studies examine preferences for partner-delivered HIV self-tests in <\/span>Zimbabwe<\/span><\/a>, the acceptability of a pleasure-oriented sexual and reproductive health chatbot in <\/span>Qu\u00e9nia<\/span><\/a>, consumer and healthcare provider preferences related to self-sampling for HPV screening in <\/span>Mo\u00e7ambique<\/span><\/a>, the quality of facility-based distribution of insecticide treated nets for malaria prevention in <\/span>Ghana<\/span><\/a>, and much more.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

PSI strives for inclusive and equitable authorship in scientific publications. In 2023, 42% of lead authors were based in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and 70% of lead authors were women. Eleven publications were by first-time first authors. More than 92% of publications included an LMIC-based author in any authorship position. Nearly all (97%) of our data-based publications were free of authorship parasitism, which is the lack authorship representation from the countries providing data.<\/span>\u00b9<\/span><\/p>
