Decolonising global health
box As evidenced by a plethora of publications, webinars, and social media hashtags, the last year or two have seen an amplification of calls for the decolonisation of global health.1–5 These calls have largely been virtually echoed in the hallways of academic institutions in the Global North such as the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Duke University and Harvard University. For reasons which we can only speculate about such as fe…
Impact evaluation of a community-based intervention for prevention of cardiovascular diseases in the slums of Nairobi
BACKGROUND: A combination of increasing urbanization, behaviour change, and lack of health services in slums put the urban poor specifically at risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a community-based CVD prevention intervention on blood pressure (BP) and other CVD risk factors in a slum setting in Nairobi, Kenya. DESIGN: Prospective intervention study includes awareness campaigns, household visits for sc…
InterVA versus Spectrum
BACKGROUND: The Spectrum computer package is used to generate national AIDS mortality estimates in settings where vital registration systems are lacking. Similarly, InterVA-4 (the latest version of the InterVA programme) is used to estimate cause-of-mortality data in countries where cause-specific mortality data are not available. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to compare trends in adult AIDS-related mortality estimated by Spectrum with trends from t…
HIV mortality in urban slums of Nairobi, Kenya 2003–2010
Population-level HIV mortality in Nairobi's slums was significantly lower in the approximate period coinciding with the scale-up of ART provision in Kenya. However, further studies that incorporate ART coverage data in mortality estimates are needed. Such information will enhance our understanding of the full impact of ART scale-up in reducing adult mortality among marginalized slum populations in Kenya
