  • Stakeholder perceptions of political and economic factors influencing vaccination in two States with a high burden of zero-dose children in Nigeria

    Open AccessTanimola Makanjuola Akande, Tanimola Akande et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2026Referencias: 7

    Globally, an estimated 22.7 million children are unimmunized or ‘zero-dose’ (ZD), with 3.1 million in Nigeria. The political and economic environment plays a critical role in influencing the number of ZD and under-immunized children. We explored stakeholder perceptions of the political and economic context of vaccination services in Kano and Lagos States, two Nigerian States with a high number of ZD children. We conducted stakeholder mapping, fol…

  • Healthcare providers’ perspectives on antimicrobial resistance in Northwest Syria

    Open AccessHussam Alkabbani, Maysoon Dahab et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    Background: Armed conflict contributes to the development and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Understanding healthcare providers' perceptions is essential for identifying key determinants and developing contextualised recommendations. This study explored perceptions of AMR among healthcare providers in northwest Syria - a conflict-affected area- before the fall of the Syrian regime in December 2024. Methods: A qualitative study was cond…

  • Changes in social mixing and attitudes and practices to precautionary measures in a maturing Covid-19 pandemic in six communities in Sudan

    Open AccessSalma A E Ahmed, Rahaf AbuKoura et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    The unfavourable social and economic environment, coupled with the low visibility of the pandemic and pandemic response, has likely modulated the influence of higher risk perception on adopting precautionary behaviours by individuals. Governments and non-governmental actors should increase the visibility of the pandemic and pandemic response, enforce and incentivise infection control measures in public areas, promote emerging preventive social ha…

  • Population mortality before and during the Covid-19 epidemic in two Sudanese settings

    Open AccessRahaf AbuKoura, Francesco Checchi et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    This study suggests that using a community-led capture-recapture methodology to measure excess mortality is a feasible approach in Sudan and similar settings. Deploying similar community-led estimation methodologies should be considered wherever crises and weak health infrastructure prevent an accurate and timely real-time understanding of epidemics' mortality impact in real-time

  • Acceptability and feasibility of strategies to shield the vulnerable during the Covid-19 outbreak

    Open AccessNada Abdelmagid, Salma A E Ahmed et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    Shielding is generally acceptable in the study communities. Acceptability is influenced by feasibility, and by contextual changes in the epidemic and associated policy response. The promotion of shielding should capitalise on the cultural and moral sense of duty towards elders and vulnerable groups. Communities and households should be provided with practical guidance to implement feasible shielding options. Households must be socially, psycholog…

  • Covid-19 control in low-income settings and displaced populations

    Open AccessMaysoon Dahab, Kevin van Zandvoort et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2020

    COVID-19 prevention strategies in resource limited settings, modelled on the earlier response in high income countries, have thus far focused on draconian containment strategies, which impose movement restrictions on a wide scale. These restrictions are unlikely to prevent cases from surging well beyond existing hospitalisation capacity; not withstanding their likely severe social and economic costs in the long term. We suggest that in low-income…

  • Deaths, injuries and detentions during civil demonstrations in Sudan

    Open AccessMaysoon Dahab, Nada Abdelmagid et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2019

    This analysis demonstrates the importance of real-time data on political violence collected by civil society initiatives. The de facto Sudanese government should immediately cease attacks against peaceful civilian protesters and put in place guarantees for their safety

  • Setting priorities for humanitarian water, sanitation and hygiene research

    Open AccessLauren D’Mello-Guyett, Travis Yates et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2018

    Recent systematic reviews have highlighted a paucity of rigorous evidence to guide water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) interventions in humanitarian crises. In June 2017, the Research for Health in Humanitarian Crises (R2HC) programme of Elrha, convened a meeting of representatives from international response agencies, research institutions and donor organisations active in the field of humanitarian WASH to identify research priorities, discuss …

  • Changes in HIV-related behaviours, knowledge and testing among refugees and surrounding national populations

    Maysoon Dahab, Paul Spiegel et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2013

    To our knowledge, there is currently no published data on the prevalence of risky sex over time as displaced populations settle into long-term post-emergency refugee camps. To measure trends in HIV-related behaviours, we conducted a series of cross-sectional HIV behavioural surveillance surveys among refugees and surrounding community residents living in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, at baseline in 2004/2005 and at follow-up in 2010/2011. We select…
