  • Disentangling Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy

    Open AccessYara Alonso, Abu Bakarr Jalloh et al.ARTICLESSM - Qualitative Research in…2025

    The WHO identified vaccine hesitancy as a threat to global health in 2019, but it was the COVID-19 pandemic that brought it to the fore of public discussions. Despite efforts to account for context in public health frameworks, these fail to translate into analyses that meaningfully capture the local dynamics forging vaccine hesitancy, while dominant public narratives continue to offer decontextualised and monolithic portrayals of this multifacete…

  • Acceptability of dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine as malaria intermittent preventive treatment for pregnant women living with HIV in Southern Mozambique

    Open AccessTacilta Nhampossa, Neusa Torres et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    The acceptability of DHA-PPQ among HIVPW appears to be influenced more by trust in healthcare providers rather than by the perceived benefits of the medication itself. Leveraging this trust to enhance awareness and understanding of DHA-PPQ's benefits could further improve its acceptability. Moreover, further implementation research focused on acceptability in a real-world environment is essential to deepen the understanding of DHA-PPQ acceptabili…

The study aimed to understand the factors that influence the anticipated acceptability …

  • Community knowledge and practices regarding antibiotic use in rural Mozambique

    Open AccessOlga Cambaco, Yara Alonso et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    There is a broad understanding of the importance of medication compliance but not specifically of antibiotic resistance. In addition, there is a recognized gap between knowledge of responsible drug compliance and actual behaviour. Future qualitative research is required to further explore what determines this behaviour. The existing ability to visually identify amoxicillin by its distinct red and yellow appearance is informative for future awaren…
