  • Evaluation of the NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery in Adolescents with HIV Infection in Zimbabwe

    Open AccessAnnalie Shears, Nyasha Dzavakwa et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2026

    Electronic assessments of cognition in low-resource settings have the potential to widen access to cognitive appraisal in at-risk populations. We evaluated the performance of the shorter, tablet-based NIH cognition battery (NIH-CB) against the validated paper-based Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children 2nd Edition (KABC-II) in assessment of neurocognitive function in adolescents living with HIV (ALWH). Adolescents aged 11–19 years living with H…

  • Using theatre to transform understanding and attitudes about asthma in African adolescents

    Open AccessGioia Mosler, Lovemore Mzati Nkhalamba et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2025

    Asthma is a common non-communicable disease in children and adolescents. In the Global South, many children are either undiagnosed or under-treated. Health education through theatre has emerged as an innovative and effective method for disseminating health-related information in Africa for conditions such as HIV/AIDS. In this study, we therefore aimed to assess the impact of an asthma awareness theatre, which was adapted from a UK-based play by l…

  • Barriers to and facilitators of linkage to care following hypertension and diabetes screening among health workers in Zimbabwe

    Open AccessLeyla Sophie Larsson, Rudo MS Chingono et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    The benefits of screening for any condition are only realised if individuals who screen positive link to care services. We investigated linkage to hypertension and diabetes care by healthcare workers accessing a comprehensive health check service. We also explored facilitators and barriers to linkage to care. Between July 2020 and June 2022, a health check with referral and follow-up was offered to healthcare workers (clients) in Zimbabwe. We aim…

  • The Children’s Hospitals in Africa Mapping Project (CHAMP) survey

    Open AccessVinayak Bhardwaj, Lawrence R Stanberry et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    The Children’s Hospitals in Africa Mapping Project (CHAMP) survey was developed and implemented to assess the capabilities of some of the best resourced sub-Saharan African hospitals serving children. The aim was to evaluate hospital facilities, infrastructure, equipment, supplies, services, staffing, and readiness to care for children amid public health emergencies. This report analysed a subset of survey questions that characterised the hospita…

  • Evaluation of a comprehensive health check offered to frontline health workers in Zimbabwe

    Open AccessEdson Marambire, Rudo MS Chingono et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Health workers are essential for a functioning healthcare system, and their own health is often not addressed. During the COVID-19 pandemic health workers were at high risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection whilst coping with increased healthcare demand. Here we report the development, implementation, and uptake of an integrated health check combining SARS-CoV-2 testing with screening for other communicable and non-communicable diseases for health workers …

  • Prevalence of chronic conditions and multimorbidity among healthcare workers in Zimbabwe

    Open AccessClaire Jacqueline Calderwood, Edson Marambire et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    The burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in southern Africa is expanding and is superimposed on high HIV prevalence. Healthcare workers are a scarce resource; yet are vital to health systems. There are very limited studies on the burden of chronic conditions among healthcare workers in Africa, and none exploring multimorbidity (≥2 chronic conditions). We describe the epidemiology of infectious (HIV) and non-communicable chronic conditions, …

  • Exploring Covid-19 vaccine uptake among healthcare workers in Zimbabwe

    Open AccessTinotenda Taruvinga, Rudo MS Chingono et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    With COVID-19 no longer categorized as a public health emergency of international concern, vaccination strategies and priority groups for vaccination have evolved. Africa Centres for Diseases Prevention and Control proposed the ‘100-100-70%’ strategy which aims to vaccinate all healthcare workers, all vulnerable groups, and 70% of the general population. Understanding whether healthcare workers were reached during previous vaccination campaigns a…

  • Unlocking the global health potential of dried blood spot cards

    Open AccessBrianne Bota, Victoria Ward et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2022

    A key challenge to providing care for newborn infants in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is the lack of timely diagnostic testing due to weak local infrastructures such as laboratory capacity and imaging technologies. To address this challenge, low-cost diagnostic testing that does not require extensive laboratory processing or costly storage procedures has been prioritised. [...]

  • Adolescents’ and caregivers’ perceptions of caregiver-provided testing and HIV self-testing using oral mucosal transudate tests in Zimbabwe

    Open AccessCrissi Rainer, Belinda Chihota et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2021

    Uptake of HIV testing remains lower among children and adolescents compared to adults. This study explored adolescents' perceptions of HIV self-testing (HIVST) and caregivers' perceptions of testing their children using an oral mucosal transudate (OMT) rapid HIV test (caregiver-provided testing). We conducted 31 interviews with adolescents aged 16-18 years and caregivers of children aged 2-15 years who received an OMT test. Participants described…

  • Familial silence surrounding HIV and non-disclosure of HIV status to older children and adolescents

    Grace Mchugh, Victoria Simms et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2018

    Increasing numbers of children with HIV are surviving to adolescence and beyond, many of whom are orphaned. Disclosure of childrens' and adolescents' HIV status has been shown to improve adherence and retention in HIV treatment programmes. We investigated caregiving arrangements and intra-familial experience of HIV and its relationship to HIV disclosure to older children and adolescents. Children aged 6-15 years, newly diagnosed with HIV infectio…

  • Factors associated with self-reported adherence among adolescents on antiretroviral therapy in Zimbabwe

    Revital Gro, Robert Gross et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2015

    Nonadherence to medication is the key obstacle to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) treatment success. The group at highest risk of nonadherence is adolescents, but relatively little is known about risk factors for and protective factors against poor adherence in this age group. We undertook a cross-sectional study of 262 HIV-infected adolescents aged 10-19 years on antiretroviral therapy at two clinics in Harare, Zimbabwe, to investigate person…
