  • How to (or how not to) implement crowdsourcing for the development of health interventions

    Open AccessEneyi E Kpokiri, Mwelwa M Phiri et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2024

    Crowdsourcing strategies are useful in the development of public health interventions. Crowdsourcing engages end users in a co-creation process through challenge contests, designathons or online collaborations. Drawing on our experience of crowdsourcing in four African countries, we provide guidance on designing crowdsourcing strategies across seven steps: deciding on the type of crowdsourcing strategy, convening a steering committee, developing …

  • Effect and cost-effectiveness of human-centred design-based approaches to increase adolescent uptake of modern contraceptives in Nigeria, Ethiopia and Tanzania

    Open AccessCatarina Krug, Melissa Neuman et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Around half of adolescent pregnancies in low- and middle-income countries are unintended, contributing to millions of unsafe abortions per year. Adolescents 360 (A360), a girl-centred initiative, aimed to increase voluntary uptake of modern contraceptives among adolescents in Nigeria, Ethiopia and Tanzania. We evaluated the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of A360 in increasing modern contraceptive use in selected geographies. We used before-…

  • Misconceptions, Misinformation, and Misperceptions

    Open AccessRose Stevens, Kazuyo Machiyama et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning2023Cited by: 3References: 59

    Beliefs about contraception are commonly conceptualized as playing an important role in contraceptive decision‐making. Interventions designed to address beliefs typically include counseling to dispel any “myths” or “misconceptions.” These interventions currently show little evidence for impact in reducing beliefs. This commentary delves into the problems associated with using implicitly negative terminology to refer to contraceptive beliefs, whic…

  • Remote data collection for public health research in a Covid-19 era

    Open AccessB Hensen, Constance R Smackworth-Young et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2021

    Physical distancing measures have lead many public health researchers to transition to remote data collection, via mobile phones, online or other virtual platforms. These methods pose a number of challenges related to obtaining informed consent.

  • They are not always a burden

    Open AccessSusan Kasedde, Aoife M Doyle et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2014Cited by: 13References: 35

    This qualitative study examines the role of older people (60 years and above) in fostering decisions for orphans and non-orphans within extended families in a rural Ugandan community heavily affected by HIV. Fieldwork conducted in 2006 provided information on the influence of HIV on fostering decisions through 48 individual in-depth interviews and two group interviews with foster-children and family members to develop detailed case studies relate…

  • Recall, relevance and application of an in-school sexual and reproductive health intervention 7-9 years later

    Open AccessJoyce Wamoyi, Gerry Mshana et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2013

    Many adolescent sexual and reproductive health (ASRH) interventions have improved knowledge and reduced reported sexual risk behaviours, but found no impact on HIV. We explored potential reasons for this in 23 in-depth interviews, conducted 7-9 years after exposure to ASRH intervention. We discussed participants' memories and views of the relevance of the in-school intervention, and their subsequent ability to apply what they had learned. While m…

  • OP35 Sexual Risk Behaviour Among Young People in Rural Tanzania

    Aoife M Doyle, John Changalucha et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2013Cited by: 1

    Background Being in full-time education is associated with lower risk of HIV and other STIs. We describe sexual partnership histories reported by youth in rural Tanzania, and investigate the association between current attendance at post-primary education, and sexual behaviour and antibody responses to Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 (HSV-2) infection. Methods In 2007/8, sexual partnership histories were collected through a face-to-face questionnaire…

  • The sexual behaviour of adolescents in sub‐Saharan Africa

    Open AccessAoife M Doyle, Sue Napierala et al.ARTICLETropical Medicine & International…2012

    Objectives To describe the sexual and reproductive behaviour of adolescents in sub‐Saharan Africa, particularly 15‐ to 19‐year‐olds. Methods Using DHS/AIS data (2000–2010), nine indicators of adolescent behaviour and one of adult attitudes towards condom education for adolescents were described for 24 countries. Indicators were disaggregated by gender, urban/rural residency and educational status, and time trends were described. Results Up to 25%…

  • Influenza pandemic preparedness in France

    Aoife M Doyle, Aoife Doyle et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2006References: 16

    Background: Influenza pandemics result in excess mortality and social disruption. To assist health authorities update the French pandemic plan, the authors estimated the number of health events (cases, hospitalisations, and deaths) in a pandemic and compared interventions in terms of impact and efficiency. Method: A Monte Carlo simulation model, incorporating probability distributions of key variables, provided estimates of health events (HE) by …
