Disentangling Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy
The WHO identified vaccine hesitancy as a threat to global health in 2019, but it was the COVID-19 pandemic that brought it to the fore of public discussions. Despite efforts to account for context in public health frameworks, these fail to translate into analyses that meaningfully capture the local dynamics forging vaccine hesitancy, while dominant public narratives continue to offer decontextualised and monolithic portrayals of this multifacete…
Gaps in TB-related knowledge and practices
Although tuberculosis is a preventable and treatable disease, its management has been challenging for tuberculosis control and prevention programs in low- and middle- income countries such as Mozambique. We assessed the TB knowledge and healthcare-seeking behaviors among adults with HIV and caregivers of paediatric patients with symptoms of TB. The study was conducted between February and October 2023 at Manhiça District Hospital. A total of 60 i…
The social dimensions of community delivery of intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in pregnancy in Madagascar, Mozambique, Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of the Congo
INTRODUCTION: Intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy with sulphadoxine pyrimethamine (IPTp) is a key malaria prevention strategy in sub-Saharan African countries. We conducted an anthropological study as part of a project aiming to evaluate a community-based approach to the delivery of IPTp (C-IPTp) through community health workers (CHWs) in four countries (the Democratic Republic of Congo, Madagascar, Mozambique and Nigeria), to understa…
Acceptability of Clinical Trials on Covid-19 during Pregnancy among Pregnant Women and Healthcare Providers
Participation of pregnant women in clinical trials entails challenges mainly related to concerns about the risks for fetuses. We undertook a qualitative study from June to October 2020 to assess the acceptability of participating in COVID-19 clinical trials among pregnant women in Spain. Phenomenology and grounded theory were used as methodological approaches. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 24 pregnant women and six healthcare pro…
The Covid‐19 epidemic through a gender lens

Trust, community health workers and delivery of intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in pregnancy
This qualitative study is part of a project aiming to evaluate a community-based approach to the delivery of intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in pregnancy with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (IPTp-SP) through community health workers (CHWs) in four sub-Saharan African countries: the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Madagascar, Mozambique and Nigeria. The study aimed to understand the factors that influence the anticipated acceptability …
Uncertainties, Fear and Stigma
Similar to other epidemics, knowledge about Zika virus (ZIKV) relies upon information often coming from outside the health system. This study aimed to explore views, perceptions and attitudes towards ZIKV among migrant women from Central and South America, diagnosed with ZIKV infection during pregnancy, and to comprehend healthcare professionals' perceptions of ZIKV. An exploratory qualitative study, based on phenomenology and grounded theory, wa…
