Mixed method program impact evaluation
The REBAHS LPSP II action launched in May 2022 by International Medical Corps (IMC) and Première Urgence Internationale (PUI) in Lebanon is a continuation of previous initiatives implemented in Primary Healthcare Centers (PHCCs) with the key aim to support service provision in PHCCs. This study aims to present a multi-faceted impact evaluation approach, quantifying the outcomes of the action and identifying areas for improvement. A mixed-method a…
Comparing and integrating human mobility data sources for measles transmission modeling in Zambia
Quantifying population mobility is crucial in developing accurate models of infectious disease dynamics. Increasingly, multiple data sources are available to describe individual and population mobility in a single location; however, there are no methods to systematically integrate these data. Combining information from these data sets may be valuable and help mitigate inherent biases in each data set due to sampling, censoring, and recall. We exa…
Healthcare under fire
This study shows improved identification and profiling of attacks is possible in low-resource settings and presents several approaches to quantify their impact. It also highlights challenges conducting analysis with significant limitations in data quality and availability. Findings reinforce the urgent need for systematic data collection, real-time monitoring, tailored, context-specific mitigation strategies, and support to local actors who maint…
Improving mobility data for infectious disease research
Who is missed in a community-based survey
Community-based serological studies are increasingly relied upon to measure disease burden, identify population immunity gaps, and guide control and elimination strategies; however, there is little understanding of the potential for and impact of sampling biases on outcomes of interest. As part of efforts to quantify measles immunity gaps in Zambia, a community-based serological survey using stratified multi-stage cluster sampling approach was co…
Covid-19 epidemiology, health services utilisation and health care seeking behaviour during the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic in Mweso health zone, Democratic Republic of Congo
Background: Although the evidence about coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has increased exponentially since the beginning of the pandemic, less is known about the direct and indirect effects of the pandemic in humanitarian settings. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), most studies occurred in Kinshasa and other cities. Limited research was conducted in remote conflict-affected settings. We investigated the COVID-19 epidemiology, heal…
It's normal to be afraid”
Effective strategies to safeguard healthcare from violence exist but better support for communities and health workers is essential, including measures to assess needs, enhance security, and facilitate recovery by quickly rebuilding, resupplying, and re-staffing facilities. CAR's government, international organizations, and donors should make concerted efforts to improve reporting mechanisms and end impunity for perpetrators. Their investment in …
Health care utilisation in Cox’s Bazar district, Bangladesh, during the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic
To respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, countries introduced public health and social measures that had indirect societal, economic consequences. Concerns during epidemics include continuity of routine health services. We investigate how healthcare utilisation and healthcare seeking behaviour changed during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic among host communities in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh. This mixed-methods study combines quantitative analys…
Changes in mobility patterns during the Covid-19 pandemic in Zambia
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted many facets of human behavior, including human mobility partially driven by the implementation of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) such as stay at home orders, travel restrictions, and workplace and school closures. Given the importance of human mobility in the transmission of SARS-CoV-2, there have been an increase in analyses of mobility data to understand the COVID-19 pandemic to date. However, despite…
The implementation of infection prevention and control measures and health care utilisation in ACF-supported health facilities during the Covid-19 pandemic in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Cong…
BACKGROUND: Infection prevention and control (IPC) was a central component of the Democratic Republic of the Congo's COVID-19 response in 2020, aiming to prevent infections and ensure safe health service provision. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to assess the evolution of IPC capacity in 65 health facilities supported by Action Contre la Faim in three health zones in Kinshasa (Binza Meteo (BM), Binza Ozone (BO), and Gombe), investigate how triage and alert…
The first year of the Covid-19 pandemic in humanitarian settings
Background Despite increasing evidence on COVID-19, few studies have been conducted in humanitarian settings and none have investigated the direct and indirect effects of the pandemic in the Central African Republic. We studied the COVID-19 epidemiology, health service utilization, and health care seeking behavior in the first year of the pandemic in Bangui and surrounding areas. Methods This mixed-methods study encompasses four components: descr…
Covid-19 vaccination in the Gaza Strip
The continued emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants reinforces the importance of achieving high levels of vaccination coverage globally-a difficult undertaking in Gaza. This study estimated half of Gaza's adult population received at least one dose of any COVID-19 vaccine by October 2021, and the majority of unvaccinated individuals were hesitant. Disparities in vaccination across the territory's demographic groups underscore the need for targeted out…
Covid-19 epidemiology and changes in health service utilization in Uganda’s refugee settlements during the first year of the pandemic
COVID-19 transmission seemed lower in settlement regions than the national average, but so was testing capacity. Disruptions to health services were limited, and mainly affected consultations for acute conditions. This study, focusing on the first year of the pandemic, warrants follow-up research to investigate how susceptibility evolved over time, and how and whether health services could be maintained
