  • Gender equity in health research publishing in Africa

    Open AccessAnwaar Baobeid, Tara Faghani-Hamadani et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2022

    INTRODUCTION: Women researchers find it more difficult to publish in academic journals than men, an inequity that affects women's careers and was exacerbated during the pandemic, particularly for women in low-income and middle-income countries. We measured publishing by sub-Saharan African (SSA) women in prestigious authorship positions (first or last author, or single author) during the time frame 2014-2016. We also examined policies and practic…

  • Burden of depressive symptoms and non-alcohol substance abuse; and their association with alcohol use and partner violence

    Open AccessFrancis Bajunirwe, Samuel Maling et al.ARTICLECambridge Prisms Global Mental…2018

    In sub-Saharan Africa, there are limited data on burden of non-alcohol substance abuse (NAS) and depressive symptoms (DS), yet potential risk factors such as alcohol and intimate partner violence (IPV) are common and NAS abuse may be the rise. The aim of this study was to measure the burden of DS and NAS abuse, and determine whether alcohol use and IPV are associated with DS and/or NAS abuse. We conducted a cross-sectional study at five sites in …

  • Consumption of processed food dietary patterns in four African populations

    Open AccessMichelle D Holmes, Shona Dalal et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2018

    Objective To identify predominant dietary patterns in four African populations and examine their association with obesity. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting/Subjects We used data from the Africa/Harvard School of Public Health Partnership for Cohort Research and Training (PaCT) pilot study established to investigate the feasibility of a multi-country longitudinal study of non-communicable chronic disease in sub-Saharan Africa. We applied prin…

  • Magnitude, temporal trends, and projections of the global prevalence of blindness and distance and near vision impairment

    Open AccessRupert R A Bourne, Seth R Flaxman et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet Global Health2017

  • Urban and rural prevalence of diabetes and pre-diabetes and risk factors associated with diabetes in Tanzania and Uganda

    Open AccessFaraja Chiwanga, Faraja S Chiwanga et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2016

    BACKGROUND: The increase in prevalence of diabetes and pre-diabetes in sub-Saharan Africa underlines the importance of understanding its magnitude and causes in different population groups. We analyzed data from the Africa/Harvard Partnership for Cohort Research and Training (PaCT) studies to determine the prevalence of diabetes and pre-diabetes and risk factors associated with diabetes. METHODOLOGY: Participants were randomly selected from peri-…

  • Urban–rural and geographic differences in overweight and obesity in four sub-Saharan African adult populations

    Open AccessIkeOluwapo O Ajayi, Clement Adebamowo et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016

    The high prevalence of overweight and obesity in these sub-Saharan African countries and the differentials in prevalence and risk factors further highlights the need for urgent focused intervention to stem this trend, especially among women, professionals and urban dwellers

  • Feasibility of a large cohort study in sub-Saharan Africa assessed through a four-country study

    Open AccessShona Dalal, Michelle D Holmes et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2015

    BACKGROUND: Large prospective epidemiologic studies are vital in determining disease etiology and forming national health policy. Yet, such studies do not exist in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) notwithstanding the growing burden of chronic diseases. OBJECTIVE: We explored the feasibility of establishing a large-scale multicountry prospective study at five sites in four sub-Saharan countries. DESIGN: Based on country-specific considerations of feasibil…

  • The burden of hypertension in sub-Saharan Africa

    Open AccessD Guwatudde, Joan Nankya-Mutyoba et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    The prevalence of hypertension and pre-hypertension are high, and differ by population group defined by occupation and degree of urbanization. Only half of the populations with hypertension are aware of their hypertension, indicating a high burden of undiagnosed and un-controlled high blood pressure in these populations

  • Non-communicable diseases in sub-Saharan Africa

    Shona Dalal, Juan J Beunza et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2011

    BACKGROUND: Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has a disproportionate burden of both infectious and chronic diseases compared with other world regions. Current disease estimates for SSA are based on sparse data, but projections indicate increases in non-communicable diseases (NCDs) caused by demographic and epidemiologic transitions. We review the literature on NCDs in SSA and summarize data from the World Health Organization and International Agency for R…

  • Conducting a meta-ethnography of qualitative literature

    Open AccessSalla Atkins, Simon Lewin et al.ARTICLEBMC Medical Research Methodology2008

    BACKGROUND: Qualitative synthesis has become more commonplace in recent years. Meta-ethnography is one of several methods for synthesising qualitative research and is being used increasingly within health care research. However, many aspects of the steps in the process remain ill-defined. DISCUSSION: We utilized the seven stages of the synthesis process to synthesise qualitative research on adherence to tuberculosis treatment. In this paper we di…
