  • Barriers to and enablers of childhood immunization uptake in Ethiopia’s Amhara, Oromia, and Somali Regions

    Open AccessAmare Zewdie, Minyahil Tadesse Boltena et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Ethiopia has the fourth-highest number of zero-dose children globally. Negative experiences and perceptions of immunization are recognized barriers to vaccination uptake but warrant context-specific investigation. We explored barriers and enablers to immunization uptake in selected regions of Ethiopia. We conducted a formative qualitative study involving 18 focus group discussions with men and women, in-depth interviews with 23 mothers of childre…

  • Navigating power hierarchies in the “field”

    Open AccessMichelle Lokot, Agata Pacho et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Despite increasing focus on the broad topic of power hierarchies within research partnerships, scholarly analysis and guidance within global health tends to focus on partnership-building, governance structures and authorship, while the interactions occurring between researchers in settings where a project or community are located, often referred to as the “field”, remains a neglected topic. This study applies an intersectional lens to explore how…

  • 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…

  • Salience and perceptions of epidemic-prone diseases in two communities

    Open AccessNada Abdelmagid, Omama Abdalla et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    The frequency and severity of disease outbreaks disproportionately impacts settings affected by conflict or with weak health systems. Sudan, facing frequent and recurrent epidemics, struggles with limited resources. Understanding local perceptions of epidemic-prone diseases is vital for designing effective epidemic responses. This study describes the salience and perceptions of epidemic-prone diseases in two urban Sudanese communities. We conduct…

  • Decision-making for childhood vaccination in crisis settings

    Open AccessPage M Light, Neha Singh et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2024

    The WHO Framework should be provided in more languages, and vaccination actors at local and national level should be engaged to improve its practicality and increase awareness of its aims. In order to reach zero-dose children, vaccines must be made available for use in expanded age groups, which is sometimes not currently feasible within the Gavi/UNICEF procurement system. Clarifying this policy would allow relevant organisations to reach more ze…

  • Vaccination strategies to identify and reach zero-dose and under-immunized children in crisis-affected states in Sudan

    Open AccessMajdi M Sabahelzain, Alaa Almaleeh et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2024

    Our study underscored the complexity of vaccinating zero-dose and under-immunized children in crisis-affected states of Sudan. Further research is needed to evaluate these practices and the role of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and community engagement in improving vaccination coverage. Furthermore, exploring alternative funding methods and using geographic information systems (GIS) could enhance vaccination data and address funding limit…

  • 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

  • What we do know (and could know) about estimating population sizes of internally displaced people

    Open AccessRuwan Ratnayake, Nada Abdelmagid et al.ARTICLEJournal of Migration and Health2022Citada por: 1Referencias: 1

    The estimation of population denominators of internally displaced people (IDP) and other crisis-affected populations is a foundational step that facilitates all humanitarian assistance. However, the humanitarian system remains somewhat tolerant of irregular and inaccurate estimates of population size and composition, particularly of IDPs. In this commentary, we review how humanitarian organizations currently approach the estimation of IDP populat…

  • Healthcare governance during humanitarian responses

    Open AccessPrudence Jarrett, Yasin Fozdar et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2021

    To our knowledge, this is the first study to describe healthcare governance practice among humanitarian actors. Leading international humanitarian healthcare providers are already implementing many healthcare governance activities; however, these are inconsistently applied and generally not reflective of systematic policies or earmarked organisational resources. There is a need for sector-wide consensus on how the humanitarian sector defines heal…

  • 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…

  • Remote data collection for public health research in a Covid-19 era

    Open AccessB Hensen, Constance R Smackworth-Young et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2021

    Physical distancing measures have lead many public health researchers to transition to remote data collection, via mobile phones, online or other virtual platforms. These methods pose a number of challenges related to obtaining informed consent.

  • Considerations for planning Covid-19 treatment services in humanitarian responses

    Open AccessSylvia Garry, Nada Abdelmagid et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2020

    The COVID-19 pandemic has the potential to cause high morbidity and mortality in crisis-affected populations. Delivering COVID-19 treatment services in crisis settings will likely entail complex trade-offs between offering services of clinical benefit and minimising risks of nosocomial infection, while allocating resources appropriately and safeguarding other essential services. This paper outlines considerations for humanitarian actors planning …

  • 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
