Factors associated with Covid-19 vaccine uptake and hesitancy among women of reproductive age in Mozambique
Objective: Vaccine hesitancy has become one of the biggest challenges in combating the COVID-19 pandemic globally. This paper aims to determine the factors associated with COVID-19 vaccination and hesitancy among women of reproductive age in Mozambique. Methods: A cross-sectional mobile phone survey was conducted among women ages 15-49 to test the use of mobile phone interviews to collect data on household deaths and other topics related to pregn…
Country-specific estimates of misclassification rates of computer-coded verbal autopsy algorithms
INTRODUCTION: Computer-coded verbal autopsy (CCVA) algorithms are routinely used to determine individual cause of death (COD) and derive population-level estimates of cause-specific mortality fractions (CSMFs). But frequent COD misclassification leads to biased CSMF estimates. The VA-calibration framework reduces the bias by estimating misclassification rates; but it overlooks systematic patterns and cross-country variation, reducing the accuracy…
Development of an effective illness severity measure and assessment of the impact of perceived illness severity on formal careseeking for fatal illnesses of neonates and infants in six sub-Saharan Afr…
Early careseeking for sick children can make the difference between life and death. Verbal autopsy (VA) studies of the cause of death typically ask about severe symptoms such as seizures and possibly mild or moderate symptoms such as rash, but without examining the relationship between caregivers’ perception of illness severity and appropriate careseeking. Verbal and social autopsy (VASA) is a newer method that builds on VA by also examining soci…
The effects of Covid-19 on reproductive, maternal, neonatal, and child health service provision and utilisation
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted country health systems and necessitated urgent actions to offset its effects on service provision, especially for vulnerable populations such as mothers and children. We aimed to analyse the experiences of healthcare workers in Burkina Faso and Mozambique, and the perceived effects of COVID-19 on reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health (RMNCH) service provision and utilisation. Methods: We con…
Embedding risk monitoring in infectious disease surveillance for timely and effective outbreak prevention and control
Epidemic intelligence efforts aim to predict, timely detect and assess (re-)emerging pathogens, guide and evaluate infectious disease prevention or control. We emphasise the underused potential of integrating the monitoring of risks related to exposure, disease or death, particularly in settings where limited diagnostic capacity and access to healthcare hamper timely prevention/control measures. Monitoring One Health exposures, human behaviour, i…
Infectious disease forecasting to support public health
Background: Mozambique faces a high burden of infectious diseases but currently has limited capacity for forecasting disease incidence. Recent improvements in disease surveillance through the National Monitoring and Evaluation System now provide weekly reports of disease incidence across the country's districts. This study focuses on using these records, specifically for malaria and diarrhoeal diseases, which together account for approximately 40…
The need for global social epidemiology in the polycrisis era
box Polycrisis era: the convergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, escalating global conflicts, economic instability and climate change has created one of the most uncertain and unpredictable periods in recent history
Mild and moderate Covid-19 during Alpha, Delta and Omicron pandemic waves in urban Maputo, Mozambique, December 2020-March 2022
In sub-Saharan Africa, reported COVID-19 numbers have been lower than anticipated, even when considering populations’ younger age. The extent to which risk factors, established in industrialised countries, impact the risk of infection and of disease in populations in sub-Saharan Africa, remains unclear. We estimated the incidence of mild and moderate COVID-19 in urban Mozambique and analysed factors associated with infection and disease in a popu…
HIV incidence and its associated factors among young adults with multiple sexual partners in Maputo, Mozambique
Our findings may inform inclusion criteria for upcoming clinical trials of HIV prevention interventions, including vaccine candidates, which may prioritize enrollment of MSM, people with more than three sexual partners, and people with sexual partners who are living with HIV. These same populations are in need of further intervention to reduce HIV incidence
The mitigating effect of social protection on undernourishment during economic downturns
Social determinants and behaviors associated with overweight and obesity among youth and adults in a peri-urban area of Maputo City, Mozambique
BACKGROUND: Overweight and obesity are important risk factors for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cardiovascular diseases (CVD), type 2 diabetes and certain cancers. NCDs are responsible for an increased number of deaths worldwide, including in developing countries. We aimed to determine the prevalence of overweight and obesity among youth and adults in a peri-urban area of Maputo city, Mozambique, and to assess their social and behavior…
