  • Team‐up

    Open AccessNurudeen Alhassan, Jamaica Corker et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning2026Cited by: 1References: 15

    This Data Article describes a novel dataset from the “Re‐Examining Traditional Method Use” ( TEAM‐UP ) project, which systematically collected data on the measurement of and motivations for use of non‐modern (traditional and folkloric) contraceptive methods and/or modern methods, in four sub‐Saharan African countries: the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Kenya, and Nigeria. TEAM‐UP comprises four datasets (two quantitative and two qualitative…

  • Methodological Innovations for Evidencing and Estimating Modern and Traditional Contraceptive Prevalence and Use Dynamics in Sub‐Saharan Africa

    Open AccessNurudeen Alhassan, Nyovani Janet Madise et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning2026References: 18

    Contraceptive prevalence estimates are indicators of the performance of family planning programs. Yet, available evidence suggests that national surveys may be underestimating the prevalence of traditional methods. The apparent underestimation of traditional methods stems from current approaches for collecting, analyzing, and reporting contraceptive data. We examined the effect of survey methodological innovations on the estimation of traditional…

  • Changes in Use of Family Planning among the Urban Poor

    Open AccessDonatien Beguy, Alex Ezeh et al.ARTICLEPopulation and Development Review2017Cited by: 3References: 24

    As urbanization continues unabated in Kenya, the wellbeing of the urban poor - whose majority live in slum settlements - will increasingly drive national development indicators including Vision 2030, SDGs and FP2020 goals. It is therefore central to understand and identify ways to address the poor reproductive health outcomes among poor urban slum populations in the country. Taking advantage of APHRC's NCSS surveys conducted in 2000 and 2012 amon…

  • The Dual Burden of Nutrition Transition Among Women in Sub-Saharan Africa

    Open AccessNgianga-Bakwin Kandala, Ngianga II Kandala et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science2016

    In sub-Saharan Africa, nutrition research has primarily focused on under-nutrition, particularly among vulnerable children. However, there is increasing evidence of an emerging nutrition transition with extremely high rates of obesity, and malnutrition in women may be a problem that is insufficiently recognized and inadequately documented. This analysis was based on the 2008 Nigerian Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS), which included 27,967 wom…

  • Pregnancy-related mortality in Africa and Asia

    Open AccessPeter Kim Streatfield, Nurul Alam et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2014

    BACKGROUND: Women continue to die in unacceptably large numbers around the world as a result of pregnancy, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. Part of the problem is a lack of accurate, population-based information characterising the issues and informing solutions. Population surveillance sites, such as those operated within the INDEPTH Network, have the potential to contribute to bridging the information gaps. OBJECTIVE: To describe pat…

  • Unaids ‘multiple sexual partners’ core indicator

    Open AccessZacharie Tsala Dimbuene, Jacques B O Emina et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2014

    UNAIDS proposed a set of core indicators for monitoring changes in the worldwide AIDS epidemic. This paper explores the validity and effectiveness of the 'multiple sexual partners' core indicator, which is only partially captured with current available data. The paper also suggests an innovative approach for collecting more informative data that can be used to provide an accurate measure of the UNAIDS's 'multiple sexual partners' core indicator. …

  • Mortality from external causes in Africa and Asia

    Open AccessPeter Kim Streatfield, Wasif Ali Khan et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2014

    BACKGROUND: Mortality from external causes, of all kinds, is an important component of overall mortality on a global basis. However, these deaths, like others in Africa and Asia, are often not counted or documented on an individual basis. Overviews of the state of external cause mortality in Africa and Asia are therefore based on uncertain information. The INDEPTH Network maintains longitudinal surveillance, including cause of death, at populatio…

  • Child mortality in the Democratic Republic of Congo

    Open AccessNgianga-Bakwin Kandala, Ngianga‐bakwin Kandala et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    This study reveals clear geographic patterns in rates of U5M in the DRC and shows the potential role of individual child, household and environmental factors, which are unexplained by the ongoing conflict. The displacement of mothers to safer areas may explain the lower U5MR observed at the epicentre of the conflict in North Kivu, compared with rates in conflict-free areas. Overall, the U5M maps point to a lack of progress towards the Millennium …

  • Health and demographic surveillance systems

    Open AccessYazoume Yé, Marylene Wamukoya et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2012

    The paper does not suggest that HDSSs should be seen as a replacement for civil registration systems. Rather, they should serve as a short- to medium-term measure to provide data for health and population planning at regional levels with possible extrapolation to national levels. HDSSs can also provide useful lessons for countries that intend to set up nationally representative sample vital registration systems in the long term
