Lived sanitation experiences in informal and formal settlements in Nairobi, Kenya
Urban sanitation is essential for health and well-being, yet provision remains deeply unequal, particularly in informal settlements. This study compares lived sanitation experiences across Nairobi’s informal and formal settlements and examines how water insecurity – too much, too little, too dirty water – intersects with sanitation. We combined eight focus group discussions (n=65 participants) with household surveys (n=545) to analyse disparities…
Water insecurity and lived experiences in Nairobi, Kenya
Access to safe drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) remains a major global challenge, disproportionately affecting residents of informal settlements, where insecure tenure, unsafe housing, limited WASH access, and socio-economic marginalisation exacerbate water insecurity, undermining health and well-being. Our comparative mixed-methods study assesses water insecurity, lived experiences, coping strategies, and community recommendations …
A community-based participatory mixed-method approach on lived water, waste and health insecurity experiences in marginalised Roma communities in Eastern Slovakia
Environment and health challenges of Roma communities often remain invisible in national statistics, but are well documented in Slovakia • Novel use of participatory visual methods in the context of environmental health in marginalised Roma communities to capture in-depth lived experiences • Unique combination of participatory visual methods with quantitative (HWISE, SanQoL-5) and qualitative data and syndromic surveillance in marginalised commun…
Assessing climate-related non-economic loss and damage and rethinking the relation between L&D and adaptation
The international discourse on loss and damages (L&Ds) under the climate convention is ongoing. Significant attention has been given to a dedicated fund to assist vulnerable countries to recover from climate related L&D. While much of the political discussion focuses on the amount of funding needed and who should pay, less attention is given to risk reduction initiatives eligible for the L&D funding mechanisms. There is also an emerging need to l…
How green and blue spaces promote health among vulnerable urban populations facing climate hazards. A scoping review
Urban green and blue spaces promote health and well-being, while mitigating the effects of climate events. • Distributional, procedural, recognitional injustice challenges persist, with vulnerable populations being greatly affected. • Knowledge gaps remain related to the unique benefits of blue spaces, and related to vulnerable groups. • Complex space, society, and climate links are illustrated in our Inclusive Climate and Health Resilience Frame…
Germany Ahr Valley flood 2021
Older adults showed anxiety, depression, and PTSD three years after the flood. • Spatial mapping identified mental and social health hotspots in flood-hit zones. • Women reported greater flood exposure and emotional distress than men. • Community ties helped sustain social support despite information loss. This study investigates the social and mental health impacts of the 2021 Ahr Valley flood in Germany on older adults (aged 65+). We used a mix…
A Transect Through the Living Environments of Slovakia’s Roma Population
The Roma population is one of Europe's largest ethnic minorities, often living in inadequate living conditions, worse than those of the majority population. They frequently lack access to essential services, even in high-income countries. This lack of basic services-particularly in combination with proximity to (stray) animals and human and solid waste-significantly increases environmental health risks, and leads to a higher rate of endoparasitic…
Assessing water and health insecurity in informal settlements
Vulnerable groups at the margins of societies in Europe, such as Roma people, often live in unregulated housing, where they cannot access safe drinking water, sanitation and waste management. The invisibility of these groups and inaccessibility of reliable, up-to-date information complicates understanding of service gaps, related health risks, and the potential for assistance through targeted interventions. We conducted a systematic scoping revie…
Wash-friendly schools for whom? Integrating the perception of different school stakeholders in Brazil
Ensuring that schools are water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) friendly requires WASH to be visibly implemented, inclusive and sustainable, engaging the entire school community, including direct and indirect stakeholders (school staff, students and their families). However, students, staff, and parents are often overlooked in the design of WASH solutions. This study aims to contrast different school stakeholders' perspectives on WASH and evaluate…
Co-defining Wash (In)Security challenges among people experiencing homelessness. A qualitative study on the Human Right to Water and Sanitation from Bonn, Germany
Much remains to be done to serve unhoused people in HICs better with WASH. Their experiences shed light on the underlying complexities, and the implications of different often interconnected challenges, including instability, mobility, preexisting diseases, mental health conditions and substance use disorder. Different insecurities exist among different sub-groups (e.g. women, people with limited mobility). They are valuable key informants for ta…
Coping with ill-health while lacking access to health care
BACKGROUND: Large parts of Malawi`s population lack access to health care. A high burden of disease, chronic poverty, and a growing population accelerate the need for extending and improving health care. One region that is struggling with service provision is Malawi ́s rural district Phalombe. In addition to adequate resources, acceptability of service provision and productive patient-provider engagements are crucial determinants of health-seekin…
Risk Perception and Covid-19
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is shaking the foundations of public health governance all over the world. Researchers are challenged by informing and supporting authorities on acquired knowledge and practical implications. This Editorial applies established theories of risk perception research to COVID-19 pandemic, and reflects on the role of risk perceptions in these unprecedented times, and specifically in the framework of the International Jour…
Academic Greenspace and Well-Being — Can Campus Landscape be Therapeutic? Evidence from a German University
This paper aims to provide a deeper understanding of green spaces as health-promoting campus environments. Our study of a campus green space at the University of Bonn, Germany, is one of the first attempts to quantify health-promoting effects of Academic Greenspace among students, adding to our understanding of how green spaces can serve as everyday therapeutic landscapes. We take a closer look at the interlinkages between students’ perceptions o…
Coping with ill-health
BACKGROUND: Sub-Saharan African wetlands, settlement areas to growing populations, expose their users to diseases as necessary health infrastructure remains underdeveloped. METHODS: Mixed methods were adopted to assess the health-seeking behaviour of different exposure groups (farmers, pastoralists, service sector workers) in a Kenyan wetland community. Based on a cross-sectional survey (n = 400), syndromic surveillance was linked to health-seeki…
Health Risk Perceptions Are Associated with Domestic Use of Basic Water and Sanitation Services—Evidence from Rural Ethiopia
We examine factors associated with the use of basic water supply and sanitation services as part of an integrated community-based nutrition programme which included a drinking water, sanitation and hygiene (WaSH) intervention and emphasise findings related to health risk perceptions. Data were collected from 2658 households in four regions in Ethiopia with a cross-sectional survey in WaSH intervention areas, as well as in control areas, where the…
The impact of flooding on people living with HIV
BACKGROUND: Floods are a disaster situation for all affected populations and especially for vulnerable groups within communities such as children, orphans, women, and people with chronic diseases such as HIV and AIDS. They need functioning health care, sanitation and hygiene, safe water, and healthy food supply, and are critically dependent on their social care and support networks. A study carried out in the Ohangwena region, Namibia, where HIV …
