Horticulture-based interventions (HBIs), involving plant-based activities, have shown potential in promoting holistic health across populations. Nevertheless, no systematic review has synthesized global evidence for its effects on students. This systematic review aimed to e…
Profiles of Risky Sexual Behaviors and Associated Factors Among Sexually Active Men in Rwanda: A Nationwide Survey
Risky sexual behaviors (RSB) remain one of the major causes of unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of various RSB and their correlates among sexually active men in Rwanda, one of the poorest countries in the world. Using data from the 2020 Rwanda Demographic and Health Survey, a nationally representative sample of sexually active males (n = 4735) was examined for the prevalence of …
HIV prevalence, risk factors, prevention methods, and interventions among taxi drivers and commercial motorcyclists in sub-Saharan Africa: A scoping review
Transport workers, particularly taxi drivers and commercial motorcyclists, comprise a population at high risk for HIV and account for nearly one-third of new HIV infections in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Transport workers bridge HIV infections from high-risk populations to the general population. This scoping review aimed to map the available evidence around HIV prevalence, risk factors, prevention methods, and interventions among taxi drivers and …
Barriers to breast and cervical cancer screening among adolescent girls and young women in Kenya: A nationwide cross-sectional survey
Factors associated with HIV testing among pregnant women in Rwanda: A nationwide cross-sectional survey
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing during pregnancy is crucial for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV, through aiding prompt treatment, care, and support. However, few studies have explored HIV testing among pregnant women in Rwanda. This study, therefore, aimed to determine the prevalence and associated factors of HIV testing among pregnant women in Rwanda. We used secondary data from the 2020 Rwanda Demographic and He…
Quality of newborn care and associated factors: An analysis of the 2022 Kenya demographic and health survey
Kenya one of the African countries has pledged to reduce neonatal death as per the 2030 World Health Organization target. Providing high-quality newborn care is critical in minimizing neonatal mortality. This study aimed to determine the factors that influence the quality of newborn care in Kenya. Secondary data from 11,863 participants of the 2022 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey (KDHS) were analyzed. The participants were chosen using two-st…
Determinants of quality antenatal care use in Kenya: Insights from the 2022 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey
Provision of quality antenatal care (ANC) is important to reduce maternal and newborn fatalities worldwide. However, the use of quality ANC by women of reproductive age and associated factors remain unclear in many developing countries. Therefore, this study aimed to determine factors associated with receiving quality ANC in Kenya among women of reproductive age. We analyzed secondary data from the 2022 Kenya Demographic Health Survey, which incl…
Facilitators and barriers to use rapid antigen test for Sars-CoV-2 among community-dwelling older adults in Hong Kong: A population-based cross-sectional random telephone survey
Faster diagnosis of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is crucial for surveillance, prompt implementation of infection control measures and adequate patient care among older adults. This study investigated the behavioral intention to use Rapid Antigen Tests (RAT) and associated factors among older adults in Hong Kong for health monitoring and when having COVID-19-like symptoms. This was a population-based cross-sectional random telephone survey …
Differential practice and associated factors of Covid-19 personal preventive measures among the slum and estate communities of Uganda: A community-based cross-sectional survey
Background: Compliance with personal preventive measures (PPMs) remains essential in the prevention and control of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and future infectious disease outbreaks. This study aimed at examining and comparing the practice of COVID-19 PPMs and associated factors in selected slum and estate communities of Uganda. Methods: This was a cross-sectional survey conducted among 1025 slum and estate residents in Ugan…
Prevalence of risk factors for human immunodeficiency virus among sexually active women in Rwanda: A nationwide survey
More than a quarter of sexually active women in Rwanda had exposure to at least one risk factor for HIV acquisition. There is a need to maximize the use of mass media in disseminating HIV prevention and behavioral change messages. Engagement of religious leaders and promotion of HIV testing, especially among the never-testers, may be vital strategies in successful HIV prevention programs
Covid-19 in conflict border regions: A case of South Kordofan, Sudan
