Determinants of knowledge and attitudes toward personal protective equipment use among commercial motorcycle riders in a conflict-affected region of Cameroon
Background: Road traffic injuries are a leading cause of death globally, disproportionately affecting motorcyclists in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Personal protective equipment (PPE) such as helmets and visibility materials substantially reduce injury severity, yet their consistent use remains suboptimal in many African settings. In conflict-affected areas, where displacement and informal transport systems are common, safety behavio…
Epidemiological patterns of motorcycle-related injuries in Cameroon
Motorcycles are a common mode of transport in major Cameroonian cities, contributing to a rising burden of injuries among both users and pedestrians. These groups differ in exposure, mechanisms, and vulnerability, yet both bear a disproportionately high injury burden. However, comparative data on their epidemiological patterns and outcomes remain scarce. To support targeted prevention policies, we analysed trauma registry data to describe demogra…
Epidemiological profile of road traffic injury patients, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) screening uptake in hospitals in Fako Division, Cameroon
Road traffic injuries (RTIs) are a major global public health concern, often leading to serious physical and psychological consequences, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). A limited understanding of specific RTI patient characteristics, particularly regarding PTSD screening recommendation and uptake in health facilities in Cameroon, hinders the development of effective PTSD management strategies. This study aimed to determine the ep…
Changes in access to viral load testing, incidence rates of viral load suppression and rebound following the introduction of the ‘universal test and treat’ guidelines in Cameroon
Cameroon adopted and started implementing in 2016, the ‘universal test and treat’ (UTT) guidelines to fast-track progress towards the 95-95-95 ambitious targets to end the HIV epidemic. Achieving the third 95 (viral load suppression) is the most desirable target in HIV care. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of this novel approach on access to viral load testing (VLT), viral suppression (VLS), and viral load rebound (VLR). A retrospective co…
“It is because of the love for the job that we are still here”
Attacks on health care have important consequences for the mental health (MH) and work availability of health care workers (HCW). In the conflict-affected Northwest and Southwest (NWSW) regions of Cameroon, health care attacks are common; however, little is known on the MH burden and/or (mental) health-seeking behavior among affected HCW. We therefore conducted a survey on mental conditions (relying on SRQ-20 and WASSS assessments) and access to …
The predictors of food security and dietary diversity among internally displaced persons’ children (6–59 months) in Bamenda health district, Cameroon
Dietary diversity and household food insecurity was unacceptably low and high respectively among internally displaced children. Policymakers should prioritize strengthening both nutrition sensitive and specific activities that contribute to reduction of food insecurity and consumption of unbalance diet
The Padre merits of developing and implementing context-specific national action plans for health security in Central Africa

Perceptions of consent, permission structures and approaches to the community
Respondents held relatively sophisticated understanding of consent and were able to outline the structures of permission-giving in the community. Although the structures are unique to these communities, the role of certain trusted groups is common to several other communities in Kenya and Ethiopia explored using similar techniques. The information gained through Rapid Ethical Assessment will form an important guide for future studies in North Wes…
