  • Co‐Designing a Primary Healthcare Intervention to Improve Diabetes Care in Mendoza, Argentina

    Open AccessJavier Roberti, Agustina Mazzoni et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2026

    BACKGROUND: In low- and middle-income countries, primary healthcare (PHC) faces significant challenges in delivering effective care for chronic conditions, exacerbated by fragmented systems, resource limitations, and inequitable access. In Argentina, despite national strategies for non-communicable diseases, implementation varies due to decentralised governance, leading to gaps in care. Here, we describe the codesign process of a contextually rel…

  • Health and well-being of older adults in rural and urban Rwanda

    Open AccessMichael Boah, Callixte Cyuzuzo et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2025

    Background: Ageing often leads to multimorbidity, frailty, and disability; these interconnected conditions significantly impact quality of life (QoL) and strain healthcare systems through increased dependency and care needs. Despite their importance for health system planning, they remain understudied in Rwanda's older population. Here we describe the epidemiology of these outcomes in Rwanda's ageing population. Methods: We conducted a cross-sect…

  • Highlighting the Need for Representation of Black Women in PrEP Marketing and Educational Efforts

    Open AccessOsosese Enaholo, Jessica P Ridgway et al.ARTICLEJournal of Racial and Ethnic…2025Referencias: 4

    Women reported minimal representation and knowledge regarding PrEP, yet demonstrated high interest in learning more about PrEP and sharing that information with others. Black women must be featured prominently in mainstream PrEP advertisements and PrEP educational materials and included by providers in discussions about PrEP. Increasing funding and support for these efforts will be instrumental to promote PrEP uptake among Black women and to redu…

  • Mitigating the impact of Covid-19 on primary healthcare interventions for the reduction of under-5 mortality in Bangladesh

    Open AccessAlemayehu Amberbir, Fauzia Akhter Huda et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    The COVID-19 pandemic posed unprecedented challenges and threats to health systems, particularly affecting delivery of evidence-based interventions (EBIs) to reduce under-5 mortality (U5M) in resource-limited settings such as Bangladesh. We explored the level of disruption of these EBIs, strategies and contextual factors associated with preventing or mitigating service disruptions, and how previous efforts supported the work to maintain EBIs duri…

  • Identifying determinants of under-five child mortality in northern Togo

    Open AccessSamantha Levano, Samantha R Levano et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2024

  • Patient reported experience measures on HIV viral load testing at public health facilities in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

    Open AccessPeter M Karoli, Grace Shayo et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    While viral load (VL) testing is critical to effective treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), little is known about patients’ experiences with, and barriers to VL-testing in the context of HIV infection. We assessed patient reported experience measures (PREMs) on VL-testing in public HIV clinics in Tanzania. In a cross-sectional convergent mixed method study, we collected information on VL test related PREMs, clinical and sociodemograph…

  • Nigeria healthcare worker Sars-CoV-2 serology study

    Open AccessDike Ojji, Amelia Sancilio et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Healthcare workers, both globally and in Nigeria, have an increased risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection compared with the general population due to higher risk contacts, including occupational exposures. In addition, primary healthcare workers represent an important group for estimating prior infection to SARS-CoV-2 because they work at the first point-of-contact for most patients yet have not been included in prior COVID-19 seroepidemiology research i…

  • Health service readiness to provide care for HIV and cardiovascular disease risk factors in low- and middle-income countries

    Open AccessNeil Cockburn, David Flood et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Cardiovascular disease risk factors (CVDRF), in particular diabetes and hypertension, are chronic conditions which carry a substantial disease burden in Low- and Middle-Income Countries. Unlike HIV, they were neglected in the Millenium Development Goals along with the health services required to manage them. To inform the level of health service readiness that could be achieved with increased attention, we compared readiness for CVDRF with that f…

  • Ending the HIV Epidemic

    Open AccessMoctezuma Garcia, Samantha A Devlin et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2023

    The rapid implementation of molecular HIV surveillance (MHS) has resulted in significant challenges for local health departments to develop real-time cluster detection and response (CDR) interventions for priority populations impacted by HIV. This study is among the first to explore professionals' strategies to implement MHS and develop CDR interventions in real-world public health settings. Methods: Semi-structured qualitative interviews were co…

  • Does decentralization of health systems translate into decentralization of authority? A decision space analysis of Ugandan healthcare facilities

    Open AccessJohn Chen, Aloysius Ssennyonjo et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2021

    Since the 1990s, following similar reforms to its general politico-administrative systems, Uganda has decentralized its public healthcare system by shifting decision-making power away from its central Ministry of Health and towards more distal administrative levels. Previous research has used decision space—the decision-making autonomy demonstrated by entities in an administrative hierarchy—to measure overall health system decentralization. This …

  • Facilitators and barriers to HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake through a community-based intervention strategy among adolescent girls and young women in Seme Sub-County, Kisumu, Kenya

    Open AccessMaya Jackson-Gibson, Ashley Ezema et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    Overall, the community roll-out of PrEP within the DREAMS Initiative was successful due to a number of key facilitating factors, which ultimately led to successful PrEP implementation, increased PrEP initiation and enhanced persistence among adolescent girls and young women. The identified barriers should be addressed so that a larger scale-up of PrEP roll-out is possible in the future
