  • How to design decision-support tools for primary healthcare using a human-centred design approach

    Open AccessDamaris Rodriguez Franco, Co-creation groups et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2026

    INTRODUCTION: Healthcare delivery should be based on evidence-informed decisions in the clinical, public health, managerial and policy domains. Data are gathered at the point of care via routine health information systems (RHIS). The Paper-based Health Information Systems in Comprehensive Care (PHISICC) project shifted the paradigm from data collection to decision-making, especially decision-making at the point of care by the frontline health wor…

  • Human resources for health

    Open AccessOgonna Nwankwo, Cornelia Auer et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2024

    BACKGROUND: Human resources are a key determinant for the quality of healthcare and health outcomes. Several human resource management approaches or practices have been proposed and implemented to better understand and address health workers' challenges with mixed results particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The aim of this framework synthesis was to review the human resources frameworks commonly available to address human re…

  • Using and improving the PHISICC paper-based tools in the health facility laboratories

    Open AccessNnette Ekpenyong, Kathrin Heitz-Tokpa et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    Background: Health workers in low- and middle-income countries are increasingly demanded to collect more and more data to report them to higher levels of the health information system (HIS), in detriment of useful data for clinical and public health decision-making, potentially compromising the quality of their health care provison. In order to support health workers' decision-making, we engaged with partners in Côte d'Ivoire, Mozambique and Nige…

  • Using the COMMVAC taxonomy to map vaccination communication interventions in Mozambique

    Open AccessArtur Manuel Muloliwa, Julie Cliff et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2017

    BACKGROUND: Improved communication about childhood vaccination is fundamental to increasing vaccine uptake in low-income countries. Mozambique, with 64% of children fully vaccinated, uses a range of communication interventions to promote uptake of childhood immunisation. OBJECTIVES: Using a taxonomy developed by the 'Communicate to Vaccinate' (COMMVAC) project, the study aims to identify and classify the existing communication interventions for v…

  • Factors affecting the implementation of childhood vaccination communication strategies in Nigeria

    Open AccessAfiong Oku, Angela Oyo‐Ita et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2017

    Communication activities are a crucial element of immunization programmes. It is therefore important for policy makers and programme managers to understand the barriers and facilitators affecting the delivery of vaccination communication so as to be able to implement communication interventions more effectively

  • The comprehensive ‘Communicate to Vaccinate’ taxonomy of communication interventions for childhood vaccination in routine and campaign contexts

    Open AccessJessica Kaufman, Heather Ames et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2017

    This taxonomy provides a standardised way to think and speak about vaccination communication. It is categorised by purpose to help conceptualise communication interventions as potential solutions to address needs or problems. It can be utilised by programme planners, implementers, researchers and funders to see the range of communication interventions used in practice, facilitate evidence synthesis and identify evidence gaps

  • Communication strategies to promote the uptake of childhood vaccination in Nigeria

    Open AccessAfiong Oku, Angela Oyo‐Ita et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2016

    BACKGROUND: Effective communication is a critical component in ensuring that children are fully vaccinated. Although numerous communication interventions have been proposed and implemented in various parts of Nigeria, the range of communication strategies used has not yet been mapped systematically. This study forms part of the 'Communicate to vaccinate' (COMMVAC) project, an initiative aimed at building research evidence for improving communicat…

  • Factors associated with appropriate home management of uncomplicated malaria in children in Kassena-Nankana district of Ghana and implications for community case management of childhood illness

    Open AccessSoter Ameh, Paul Welaga et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    Half of caregivers who used antimalarial drugs practiced appropriate HMM. Educational status and utilisation of hospitals in previous illness were associated with appropriate HMM. Health education programmes that promote the use of the current first line antimalarial drugs in the appropriate regimen should be targeted at caregivers with no education in order to improve HMM in communities where parasitological diagnosis of malaria may not be feasi…

  • Mapping how information about childhood vaccination is communicated in two regions of Cameroon

    Open AccessHeather Ames, Diangha Mabel Njang et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    By identifying the interventions used in Cameroon and developing an intervention map, we allowed stakeholders to see where they were concentrating their communication efforts and where gaps exist, allowing them to reflect on whether changes are needed to the communication strategies they are using
