  • Stakeholder perspectives on barriers and facilitators to hypertension control in urban Haiti

    Open AccessReichling St Sauveur, Rodney Sufra et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    These findings can inform the development of future efforts to design interventions to improve hypertension control in Haiti

  • Health systems performance for hypertension control using a cascade of care approach in South Africa, 2011–2017

    Open AccessMariet Benade, Zandile June‐Rose Mchiza et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Hypertension is a major contributor to global morbidity and mortality. In South Africa, the government has employed a whole systems approach to address the growing burden of non-communicable diseases. We used a novel incident care cascade approach to measure changes in the South African health system’s ability to manage hypertension between 2011 and 2017. We used data from Waves 1–5 of the National Income Dynamics Study (NIDS) to estimate trends …

  • High prevalence of obesity among women in urban Haiti

    Open AccessEliezer Dade, Miranda Metz et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    Introduction Obesity is associated with increased risk of non-communicable diseases and death and is increasing rapidly in low- and middle-income countries, including Haiti. There is limited population-based data on body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) and associated risk factors in Haiti. This study describes BMI and WC, and factors associated with obesity using a population-based cohort from Port-au-Prince. Methods Baseline sociod…

  • Neighborhood cohesion and violence in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and their relationship to stress, depression, and hypertension

    Open AccessLily D Yan, Margaret L McNairy et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Neighborhood factors have been associated with health outcomes, but this relationship is underexplored in low-income countries like Haiti. We describe perceived neighborhood cohesion and perceived violence using the Neighborhood Collective Efficacy and the City Stress Inventory scores. We hypothesized lower cohesion and higher violence were associated with higher stress, depression, and hypertension. We collected data from a population-based coho…

  • The relationship between perceived stress and support with blood pressure in urban Haiti

    Open AccessLily D Yan, Jessy G Dévieux et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Haiti is a low-income country whose population lives under repeated and chronic stress from multiple natural disasters, civil unrest, and extreme poverty. Stress has been associated with cardiovascular (CVD) risk factors including hypertension, and the impact of stress on blood pressure may be moderated by support. The distribution of stress, support, and their association with blood pressure has not been well described in low-income countries. W…

  • Comparison of community and clinic-based blood pressure measurements

    Open AccessCaleigh Smith, Miranda Metz et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Hypertension (HTN) is the leading modifiable cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor in low and middle-income countries, and accurate and accessible blood pressure (BP) measurement is essential for identifying persons at risk. Given the convenience and increased use of community BP screening programs in low-income settings, we compared community and clinic BP measurements for participants in the Haiti CVD Cohort Study to determine the concordanc…

  • Comparing six cardiovascular risk prediction models in Haiti

  • Does distance from a clinic and poverty impact visit adherence for noncommunicable diseases? A retrospective cohort study using electronic medical records in rural Haiti

    Open AccessLily D Yan, Dufens Pierre-Louis et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    Visit adherence was low in this sample of adult patients presenting to a NCD Clinic in Haiti. Multidimensional poverty and distance from clinic were not associated with visit adherence measures among patients seen in the clinic, except for visit in the last quarter. Future research should focus on identifying and addressing barriers to visit adherence

  • Prevalence of hypertension and its treatment among adults presenting to primary health clinics in rural Zambia

    Open AccessLily D Yan, B H Chi et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    Age standardized prevalence of hypertension in rural primary health clinics in Zambia was high compared to other studies in rural Africa; however, we diagnosed hypertension with only one measurement and this may have biased our findings. Future efforts to improve hypertension control should focus on population preventive care and primary healthcare provider education on individual management
