  • Reducing early secondary school leaving

    Open AccessJan-Walter De Neve, Somkeita Pascal Zabre et al.ARTICLEWorld Development2027

    Despite major gains in primary school enrollment across low- and middle-income countries, secondary school completion remains low. We conducted a randomized controlled trial in Burkina Faso to evaluate the effectiveness of three interventions designed to reduce early secondary school leaving: (i) information on the economic and health returns to education, (ii) tailored tutoring, and (iii) conditional cash incentives. The cash intervention signif…

  • “I am adhering to HIV treatment so that I can live to support her”

    Open AccessHenning Schröder, Palesa Mataboge et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2024

    Background: Intergenerational family care, which was upended by the HIV epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), may return to a pre-HIV era arrangement as access to antiretroviral therapy (ART) expands and treated adults can once again provide support for older household members. Empirical research has demonstrated positive 'spillover effects' of ART uptake from treated adults to younger generations, yet much less is known about the nature and brea…

  • Strengthening policy engagement when scaling up interventions targeting non-communicable diseases

    Open AccessAnusha Ramani-Chander, Amanda G Thrift et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2024

    Policy engagement is an essential component of implementation research for scaling up interventions targeting non-communicable diseases (NCDs). It refers to the many ways that research team members, implementers and policymakers, who represent government decision-making, connect and interact to explore common interests. Well-conducted engagement activities foster co-production, local contextualization and assist in the successful translation of r…

  • Washing machine ownership and girls' school attendance

    Open AccessØ Karlsson, Jan-Walter De NeveARTICLEThe Journal of Economic Inequality2024References: 3

    Excessive work among adolescents may compromise educational development. Without home appliances, household work can take over 50 h a week and an additional 30 h when an infant is present. School-aged girls are often tasked with doing laundry, which is time-consuming and inflexible without a washing machine. We determined the association between washing machine ownership and school attendance among adolescents ages 10-19 years in 19 middle-income…

  • Intergenerational spillover effects of antiretroviral therapy in sub-Saharan Africa

    Open AccessHenning Schröder, H Manisha Yapa et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2023

    BACKGROUND: Antiretroviral therapy (ART) may influence individuals who do not receive the intervention but who are connected in some way to the person who does. Relatively little is known, however, about the size and scope of, what we term, spillover effects of ART. We explored intergenerational spillover effects of ART in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and identified several directions for future research. METHODS: We conducted a scoping review betwee…

  • Joint distribution of child mortality and wealth across 30 sub-Saharan African countries over 2000-2019

    Open AccessRyoko Sato, Sarah Bolongaita et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2023

    Background: While reductions in child mortality have been observed across sub-Saharan African countries in the last 30 years, narrowing the gaps in under-five mortality across socioeconomic groups also requires an understanding of the multiple associations between health and welfare and socioeconomic drivers. We examined the probability density distributions in under-five mortality within countries and joint pathways of under-five mortality and w…

  • The Impact of Immediate Initiation of Antiretroviral Therapy on Patients' Healthcare Expenditures

    Open AccessJanina Isabel Steinert, Shaukat Khan et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2021

    Immediate initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) for all people living with HIV has important health benefits but implications for the economic aspects of patients' lives are still largely unknown. This stepped-wedge cluster-randomized controlled trial aimed to determine the causal impact of immediate ART initiation on patients' healthcare expenditures in Eswatini. Fourteen healthcare facilities were randomly assigned to transition at one of …

  • Children's education and parental old-age health

    Open AccessBerenike Thomas, Berenike Thoma et al.ARTICLEPopulation Studies2021Cited by: 1References: 68

    Previous research has documented intergenerational transmission of human capital from children to parents. Less is known, however, about heterogeneity in this 'upward transmission' in low-resource settings. We examine whether co-resident adult children's education is associated with improved health among older parents in India, using nationally representative data from the 2014 Indian National Sample Survey. Parents of children with tertiary educ…

  • Expansion of HIV testing in Eswatini

    Open AccessPhilip J Kitchen, Kate Bärnighausen et al.ARTICLEAfrican Journal of AIDS Research2020

    Achieving the United Nations' 90-90-90 goals has proven challenging in most settings and the ambitious 95-95-95 goals seem even more elusive. However, in Eswatini - a lower-middle-income country in sub-Saharan Africa with the highest HIV prevalence in the world - an estimated 92% of people living with HIV know their status. We conducted 26 in-depth interviews with stakeholders from policy, implementation, donor, local advocacy and academic sector…
