  • Micro-costing for national-scale azithromycin mass drug administration to improve child survival in Niger

    Open AccessBrittany Peterson, William Nguyen et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    As programs for azithromycin mass drug administration (AZ-MDA) to reduce child mortality have begun in some parts of West Africa, it is imperative to understand their financial costs. We combined a micro-costing framework and observations from an implementation-focused sub-study within the AVENIR trials in 80 communities in the Dosso region of Niger to estimate the national health sector financial costs of a scaled-up programmatic approach for az…

  • Predictors of home- vs . facility-based delivery among women living in rural Niger

    Open AccessBrittany Peterson, Ahmed M Arzika et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2026

    Background: Niger has one of the highest maternal mortality rates, and facility delivery can help prevent these deaths. While distance to health facilities predicts home delivery in other sub-Saharan African settings, few studies have examined this relationship in Niger. Methods: This cross-sectional survey, an ancillary study to the AVENIR trial, included women aged 12-59 years old with a child participating in a sub-trial of AVENIR. Trained wor…

  • Comparison of door-to-door and fixed-point delivery of azithromycin distribution for child survival in Niger

    Open AccessAhmed M Arzika, Ramatou Maliki et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Recent evidence indicates mass azithromycin distribution reduces under-5 mortality. This intervention is being considered for child survival programs in high mortality sub-Saharan African settings. The delivery approach used in prior studies required a full-time census and distribution team, which is not feasible for most programs. To determine the optimal programmatic approach to delivery, this study aimed to compare treatment coverage, costs, a…

  • Age-based targeting of biannual azithromycin distribution for child survival in Niger

    Open AccessKieran S O’Brien, Ahmed M Arzika et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    This trial was registered on January 13, 2020 (clinicaltrials.gov: NCT04224987 )

  • Comparison of anthropometric indicators to predict mortality in a population-based prospective study of children under 5 years in Niger

    Open AccessKieran S O’Brien, Abdou Amza et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2020

    Objective: In the present study, we aimed to compare anthropometric indicators as predictors of mortality in a community-based setting. Design: We conducted a population-based longitudinal study nested in a cluster-randomized trial. We assessed weight, height and mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) on children 12 months after the trial began and used the trial’s annual census and monitoring visits to assess mortality over 2 years. Setting: Niger. …
