Adolescent pregnancy, maternal and child anaemia
Early childbearing poses several potential risks to maternal and child health. This paper empirically analyses the association between teenage pregnancy and child nutritional status, maternal and child anaemia in three countries (Nigeria, India and Bangladesh) that account for the highest proportion of teenage births and/or total number of malnourished teenage mothers and children. Data were sourced from nine waves of Demographic and Health Surve…
Covid-19 Case Management Outcomes Amongst Diabetes and Hypertensive Patients in the United Arab Emirates
The global pandemic of the novel Coronavirus infection 2019 (COVID-19) challenged the care of comorbid patients. The risk imposed by COVID-19 on diabetes patients is multisystemic, exponential, and involves glucose dysregulation. The increased burden for diabetes patients infected with COVID-19 is substantial in countries with a high prevalence of diabetics, such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This study aims to explore the prevalence of diab…
Socio-demographic correlates of first dose of measles (MCV1) vaccination coverage in India
A socio-economic gradient exists in India's MCV1 coverage, mediated by antenatal visits, education of mothers, and highlighted socio-demographic factors. Infection with measles was significantly correlated with greater anthropometric deficits among the study cohort, indicating a wider range of benefits from preventing measles infection. Eliminating morbidity and mortality from measles in India is feasible, although it will require efficient expan…

Gender differentials in the timing of measles vaccination in rural India

Age-appropriate vaccination against measles and DPT-3 in India – closing the gaps
Age-inappropriate vaccination impacts adversely on the effectiveness of India's measles immunisation program due to sub-optimal seroconversion, if premature, and increased vulnerability to vaccine preventable diseases, if delayed. Capacity building approaches to improve age-appropriate vaccination are discussed
Paternal education status significantly influences infants’ measles vaccination uptake, independent of maternal education status
The influence of paternal education status on measles immunisation uptake was investigated and found to be statistically significant in six nations with the biggest gaps in measles immunisation coverage in 2008. This study underscores the imperative of utilising both maternal and paternal education as screening variables to identify children at risk of missing measles vaccination prospectively
What’s New About the “New Public Health”
From its origins, when public health was integral to societies’ social structures, through the sanitary movement and contagion eras, when it evolved as a separate discipline, to the “new public health” era, when health promotion projects like Healthy Cities appear to be steering the discipline back to society’s social structure, public health seems to have come full circle. It is this observation that has led some to ask, “What’s new about the ‘n…
Implementing Smoking Cessation Programmes in Prison Settings
In spite of abundant evidence as to the adverse health problems of tobacco use over the past half century, progress towards tobacco control in prisons have been minimal. Lack of political will, boredom, stress, imprisonment-related deprivation, sub-optimal demographic characteristics of prisoners, and the unavailability of formal funding mechanisms for smoking cessation support - including nicotine replacement therapy - are common reasons for thi…
The Almajiri Heritage and the Threat of Non-State Terrorism in Northern Nigeria--Lessons from Central Asia and Pakistan
The Almajiri heritage is, like the madrassahs in Central Asia, a system of Muslim education that dates back several centuries. With the imposition of British colonial rule between 1902 and 1960 on parts of the Sokoto Empire that currently constitute northern Nigeria, the North's amalgamation with Southern Nigerian British protectorates in 1914, and the formal abolition of slavery in northern Nigeria in 1936, this heritage underwent major structur…
