Decision-analytic models in the economic evaluation of community health worker programmes globally: A systematic review
INTRODUCTION: Economic evidence on community health worker (CHW) programmes is crucial for scaling these initiatives. Although decision-analytic models (DAMs) are essential for projecting long-term value, it is unclear how rigorously they have been applied to CHW evaluations, potentially compromising the reliability and comparability of cost-effectiveness estimates used for policy decisions. METHODS: A systematic review was conducted to identify …
Drivers and barriers to rural and urban healthcare placement in Ghana: A Delphi study
Objective: This study explored the level of consensus on the drivers and barriers influencing doctors' decisions to work in rural versus urban areas. The study provides insights into systemic issues affecting healthcare workforce distribution in Ghana. Access to medical care is particularly important given the changing demographics of Ghana, including the growth of the older and chronically ill population and the high proportion of older adults l…
Impact of the Health Gym Program on hospital admissions for stroke in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the Health Gym Program (HGP) on hospital admissions for stroke in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. This policy impact evaluation used a quasi-experimental approach consisting of a difference-in-differences estimator, weighted by propensity score matching to deal with potential confounding variables. The study comprised socioeconomic, demographic, and epidemiological data from official Brazilian databases…
Determinants of Physical Activity and Dietary Habits among Adults in Ghana: A Cross-Sectional Study
A critical understanding of the interrelationship between two behavioral decisions—participating in physical activity, and eating healthily—is lacking in Ghana. This study aimed to determine which factors affect each of the two behavioral decisions, jointly and separately, among adults aged 18 years or older in three metropolises (Kumasi, Accra, and Tamale) of Ghana. The data from the Ghana Obesity Survey 2021 were used. A bivariate probit model …
Factors Associated with HIV Testing among Reproductive Women Aged 15–49 Years in the Gambia: Analysis of the 2019–2020 Gambian Demographic and Health Survey
Voluntary counselling and testing for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) has always been one of the key policy interventions in the management and control of HIV/AIDS transmission. However, the prevalence of HIV testing among reproductive women in the Gambia remains low despite near universal information about HIV and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) in the Gambia. Understanding factors influen…
Determinants of Covid-19-Related Length of Hospital Stays and Long Covid in Ghana: A Cross-Sectional Analysis
The presence of hypertension and diabetes mellitus determined both length of hospitalisation and long COVID among patients with COVID-19 in Ghana. COVID-19 prevention and management policies should therefore consider these factors
Evaluation of the North West London Diabetes Foot Care Transformation Project: A Mixed-Methods Evaluation
Demonstrating the impact of multidisciplinary, integrated care models and the value of co-production approaches is important for health providers and commissioners trying to improve health outcome. Evaluation is also needed to identify strategies to overcome barriers which might have reduced the impact of the programme and key elements for improvement
Community Sport and the Politics of Aging: Co-design and Partnership Approaches to Understanding the Embodied Experiences of Low-Income Older People
The promotion of physical activity for older people is dominated by biomedically informed polices emphasising the prescription of exercise as medicine and a universal approach to the promotion of active ageing in later life. Yet, more recent research recognises that being physically active in later life is complex and contested, shaped by the intersections of biological, psychological and sociological experiences, and requires differentiated resp…
A qualitative investigation of the role of sport coaches in designing and delivering a complex community sport intervention for increasing physical activity and improving health
Training for sport coaches is required to develop understandings of public health and skills in targeting, recruiting and retaining inactive people to community sport. Public involvement in designing community sport is significant in empowering inactive people to take part. Ongoing knowledge exchange activities between the community sport and public health sector are also required in ensuring community sport can increase physical activity and imp…
Physical activity and health related quality of life
Higher levels of PA are associated with better HRQoL. Using an objective measure of PA compared with subjective shows a relatively better HRQoL
The cost-effectiveness of exercise referral schemes
ERS is associated with modest increase in lifetime costs and benefits. The cost-effectiveness of ERS is highly sensitive to small changes in the effectiveness and cost of ERS and is subject to some significant uncertainty mainly due to limitations in the clinical effectiveness evidence base
