  • Data-Driven HIV Humanitarianism, Data Colonialism, and Data Ethics

    Open AccessGolden Lwando Mwinsa, Benjamin Ferguson et al.ARTICLELaw Technology and Humans2026

    This article examines how data-driven humanitarianism in the HIV/AIDS sector reproduces colonial patterns of extraction and inequality in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Drawing on case studies of AI-enabled health data systems, it analyses the ethical implications of large-scale data collection, storage, and transfer in contexts marked by poverty, weak regulatory capacity, and persistent stigma. While datafication and artificial intelligence promise e…

  • Using the Recommended Summary Plan for Emergency Care and Treatment (ReSPECT) in a community setting

    Open AccessK Eli, Celia J Bernstein et al.ARTICLEJournal of Medical Ethics2025

    In the UK, the Recommended Summary Plan for Emergency Care and Treatment (ReSPECT) is a widely used process, designed to facilitate shared decision-making between a clinician and a patient or, if the patient lacks capacity to participate in the conversation, a person close to the patient. A key outcome of the ReSPECT process is a set of recommendations, recorded on the patient-held ReSPECT form, that reflect the conversation. In an emergency, the…

  • International bioethics, Ubuntu and HIV testing in Sub-Saharan Africa

    Golden Lwando Mwinsa, Kasoka Kasoka et al.ARTICLEJournal of Medical Ethics2025

    International bioethical principles place considerable weight on individual rights and autonomy. They require informed consent for both treatment and diagnostic testing. Although individual rights are widely valued, in some non-Western contexts, they receive relatively less weight than other moral values. In particular, the communitarian African philosophy of Ubuntu places a greater emphasis on the collective good of the community than it does on…

  • “ They need to feel at home not in a home. ” Experiences of residents and carers in mental health residential facilities

    Open AccessSamantha Mhlanga, Frances Griffiths et al.ARTICLECambridge Prisms Global Mental…2025

    Smaller residential homes offer more autonomy and integration than large dormitory-style facilities. Policies and funding should support smaller, community-based supported accommodation for people with serious mental illness

  • Comparing In-Person and Remote Qualitative Data Collection Methods for Data Quality and Inclusion

    Open AccessJulie Roberts, Chinwe Onuegbu et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2025

    Background: In-person data collection has long been considered the ‘gold standard’ for qualitative data collection. Societal changes and the rapid increase in the use of remote methods during the Covid-19 pandemic intensified debate about the limitations and opportunities of remote data collection, while reigniting questions about data quality and inclusion. Objective: We sought to map available evidence exploring the characteristics and quality …

  • International short‐term placements in health professions education—A meta‐narrative review

    Open AccessBirgit H Fruhstorfer, Simon P Jenkins et al.ARTICLEMedical Education2024

  • Mobilisation towards formal employment in the healthcare system

    Open AccessHlologelo Malatji, Frances Griffiths et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    In low and middle-income countries, community health workers (CHWs) play a critical role in delivering primary healthcare (PHC) services. However, they often receive low stipends, function without resources and have little bargaining power with which to demand better working conditions. Using a qualitative case study methodology, we studied CHWs’ conditions of employment, their struggle for recognition as health workers, and their activities to e…

  • Service Users’ and Providers’ Experiences and Perceptions of Mental Health Accommodation Services

    Open AccessSamantha Mhlanga, Frances Griffiths et al.ARTICLEHealth & Social Care in the…2024Citada por: 1Referencias: 8

    Background . There is a high prevalence of homeless people with psychotic disorders and supported housing is often required. However, there is little evidence about supported housing services, especially in low‐middle income countries. This rapid review synthesizes evidence about the experiences of users and providers of community‐based accommodation services for people living with serious mental illness internationally to understand priorities f…

  • Navigating the Lay Referral System for Treatment‐Seeking Decisions During Illness in the Digital Age

    Open AccessChinwe Onuegbu, Jenny Harlock et al.ARTICLESociology of Health & Illness2024Referencias: 6

    Interaction with a lay referral system (informal networks that provide health advice during illness) influences the treatment‐seeking decisions of individuals with perceived healthcare needs. We examined how this occurred in urban slums in Nigeria with scarce formal healthcare and unstable social networks. Using existing theories of social networks and lay referral, we examined the use of these systems for treatment‐seeking decisions in slums, in…

  • Community health workers’ quality of comprehensive care

    Open AccessOlukemi Babalola, Jonathan Levin et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Background Community healthcare worker (CHW) training programs are becoming increasingly comprehensive (an expanded range of diseases). However, the CHWs that the program relies on have limited training. Since CHWs’ activities occur largely during household visits, which often go unsupervised and unassessed, long-term, ongoing assessment is needed to identify gaps in CHW competency, and improve any such gaps. We observed CHWs during household vis…

  • Evaluating interventions to improve ethical decision making in clinical practice

    Agnieszka Ignatowicz, Anne‐Marie Slowther et al.ARTICLEJournal of Medical Ethics2023

    Medical professional regulatory authorities in some countries now include ethical knowledge and practice in their required competencies for undergraduate and post graduate medical training. Educational interventions and clinical ethics support services have been developed to support and improve ethical decision making in clinical practice, but research evaluating the effectiveness of these interventions has been limited. We undertook a systematic…

  • Community-orientated primary health care

    Open AccessHlologelo Malatji, Frances Griffiths et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Due to insufficient number of health workers and the evidence of the benefits of community health workers (CHWs), CHWs are being deployed to provide health care services to under-served communities. In this article, we explore to what extent the South African CHW programmes introduced between 2009 and 2011 are attuned to community needs, integrated into the healthcare system and community structures, and also implemented in accordance with commun…

  • Assessing the Utility of a Quality-of-Care Assessment Tool Used in Assessing Comprehensive Care Services Provided by Community Health Workers in South Africa

    Open AccessOlukemi Babalola, Jane Goudge et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    Background: Few studies exist on the tools for assessing quality-of-care of community health worker (CHW) who provide comprehensive care, and for available tools, evidence on the utility is scanty. We aimed to assess the utility components of a previously-reported quality-of-care assessment tool developed for summative assessment in South Africa. Methods: In two provinces, we used ratings by 21 CHWs and three team leaders in two primary health ca…

  • Custodians of Information

    Open AccessZoe Fritz, Anne‐Marie Slowther et al.ARTICLEHealth Communication2021

    In the UK, in the acute in-patient setting, the only information that a patient receives about their medical care is verbal; there is no routine patient access to any part of the medical record. It has been suggested that this should change, so that patients can have real-time access to their notes, but no one has previously explored patient or clinician views on the impact this might have. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 patien…

  • Ethical conflicts during the process of deciding about ICU admission

    Open AccessMia Svantesson, Frances Griffiths et al.ARTICLEJournal of Medical Ethics2021

    BACKGROUND: Besides balancing burdens and benefits of intensive care, ethical conflicts in the process of decision-making should also be recognised. This calls for an ethical analysis relevant to clinicians. The aim was to analyse ethically difficult situations in the process of deciding whether a patient is admitted to intensive care unit (ICU). METHODS: Analysis using the 'Dilemma method' and 'wide reflective equilibrium', on ethnographic data …

  • Bayesian belief network modelling of household food security in rural South Africa

    Open AccessRobert W Eyre, Thomas House et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    The resulting models can form the basis of the iterative generation of a robust causal model of household food security in the Agincourt HDSS study area and in other similar populations

  • Evaluation of a self-help intervention to promote the health and wellbeing of marginalised people including those living with leprosy in Nepal

    Open AccessDilip Shrestha, Indra Bahadur Napit et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    This research will provide information on the effectiveness of combined self-help and self-care groups, on quality of life, social integration and economic wellbeing for people living with leprosy, disability or who are socially and economically marginalised in low- and middle- income countries

  • Comparing the use of direct observation, standardized patients and exit interviews in low- and middle-income countries

    Open AccessNavneet Aujla, Yen-Fu Chen et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2021

    Clinical records in primary healthcare settings in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) are often lacking or of too poor quality to accurately assess what happens during the patient consultation. We examined the most common methods for assessing healthcare workers’ clinical behaviour: direct observation, standardized patients and patient/healthcare worker exit interview. The comparative feasibility, acceptability, reliability, validity and pra…

  • Impact of the societal response to Covid-19 on access to healthcare for non-Covid-19 health issues in slum communities of Bangladesh, Kenya, Nigeria and Pakistan

    Open AccessSyed Ahsanuddin Ahmed, Motunrayo Ajisola et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    INTRODUCTION: With COVID-19, there is urgency for policymakers to understand and respond to the health needs of slum communities. Lockdowns for pandemic control have health, social and economic consequences. We consider access to healthcare before and during COVID-19 with those working and living in slum communities. METHODS: In seven slums in Bangladesh, Kenya, Nigeria and Pakistan, we explored stakeholder perspectives and experiences of healthc…

  • A qualitative exploration of the experiences of community health animation on malaria control in rural Malawi

    Open AccessTumaini Malenga, Frances Griffiths et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2020

    BACKGROUND: While great strides have been achieved in fighting malaria through the Roll Back Malaria (RBM) strategy, the recent world malaria report shows an increase in malaria-related deaths compared to previous years. Malaria control tools are efficacious and effective in preventing the disease; however, the human behaviour aspect of the intervention strategies is weak due to heavy reliance on positive human health behaviour. The challenge lie…

  • Conveying troublesome concepts

    Open AccessRebecca Johnson, Marie Murphy et al.ARTICLEMethodological Innovations2019Citada por: 3Referencias: 21

    In the past decade, there has been a groundswell of interest in the use of mixed-methods approaches to conduct research in the health sciences. However, there remains a paucity of diverse teaching materials, curricula and activities to support the continued expansion of education and innovation in mixed-methods research. Here, we report the development and evaluation of an open-space learning activity and tool to aid teaching the concept of synth…
