Prevalence and predictors of underweight and stunting among children under 2 years of age in Eastern Kenya
Objective: To investigate key risk factors associated with undernutrition in the first few years of life. Design: A cross-sectional household survey was conducted in January 2018 collecting anthropometric data and other information on household, caregiver and child characteristics. Crude and adjusted odds ratios were calculated to assess the association of these characteristics with stunting and underweight outcomes. Setting: Kitui and Machakos c…
A comparative cost analysis of insecticide-treated nets and indoor residual spraying in highland Kenya
The relative cost of indoor residual house-spraying (IRS) versus insecticide-treated bednets (ITNs) forms part of decisions regarding selective malaria prevention. This paper presents a cost comparison of these two approaches as recently implemented by Merlin, a UK emergency relief organization funded through international donor support and working in the highland districts of Gucha and Kisii in Kenya. The financial costs (cash expenditures) and …
Anaemia in schoolchildren in eight countries in Africa and Asia
Objective To report on the haemoglobin concentrations and prevalence of anaemia in schoolchildren in eight countries in Africa and Asia. Design Blood samples were collected during surveys of the health of schoolchildren as a part of programmes to develop school-based health services. Setting Rural schools in Ghana, Indonesia, Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Mozambique, Tanzania and Vietnam. Subjects Nearly 14 000 children enrolled in basic education in thre…
The effects of sex and age of responders on the reliability of self-diagnosed infection
Controlling schistosomiasis
Sustainable schistosomiasis control cannot be based on large-scale vertical treatment strategies in most endemic countries, yet little is known about the costs and effectiveness of more affordable options. This paper presents calculations of the cost-effectiveness of two forms of chemotherapy targeted at school-children and compares them with chemotherapy integrated into the routine activities of the primary health care system. The focus is on Sc…
