Assessing the impact of a facility-based digital intervention on district-level data quality in rural Burkina Faso
INTRODUCTION: Digital clinical decision support tools are increasingly used in primary-level health facilities to improve maternal and child healthcare. These tools guide health workers to input patient records digitally, providing a critical opportunity to strengthen routine health information systems with real-time data and improve quality of care. However, often, these service-level data are not always effectively integrated into existing data…
Measuring adult mortality from mobile phone surveys in Burkina Faso, Malawi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo
In many low and middle-income countries, adult mortality estimates are derived from surveys and censuses conducted through face-to-face interviews. These interviews can be time-intensive and are often impractical during health crises or humanitarian emergencies. The expansion in cellphone ownership and network coverage has created new opportunities for collecting demographic data through mobile phone surveys, but our understanding of selection bi…
Perceptions and predictors of Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy among healthcare providers across five countries in sub-Saharan Africa
The African continent has some of the world’s lowest COVID-19 vaccination rates. While the limited availability of vaccines is a contributing factor, COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among healthcare providers (HCP) is another factor that could adversely affect efforts to control infections on the continent. We sought to understand the extent of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among HCP, and its contributing factors in Africa. We evaluated COVID-19 vaccine …
Studying multiple causes of death through verbal autopsies
BACKGROUNDThe analysis of multiple causes of death was developed in high-income countries to study complex morbid processes leading to death.In other countries, such studies are severely limited by the lack of death certificates.Some cause-of-death statistics are produced at the local level through verbal autopsies (VAs): the collecting of information on medical history and symptoms reported by the final caregiver.Algorithmic models have been dev…
The use of mobile phone surveys for rapid mortality monitoring
BACKGROUND: In low- and middle-income countries, death registration remains low, and mortality estimation is heavily based on surveys and censuses conducted through face-to-face interviews. These operations are costly and time-consuming, and are difficult to conduct during health and security crises. Taking advantage of the rapid increase in cell phone network coverage, mobile phone surveys (MPS) have recently started to be used to collect mortal…
Determinants of Covid-19 vaccine readiness and hesitancy among adults in sub-Saharan Africa
There is very limited data on the extent and determinants of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among adults living in sub-Saharan Africa since the global roll-out of vaccines began in 2021. This multi-country survey sought to investigate COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and other predictors of readiness to get vaccinated. We conducted surveys among adults residing in nine urban and rural areas in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Ghana, Nigeria, and Tanzania in late 20…
Increased Age Heaping in Mobile Phone Surveys Conducted in Low-Income and Middle-Income Countries
Since the beginning of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, the number of surveys conducted remotely by mobile phone in low-income and middle-income countries has increased rapidly. This shift has helped sustain data collection despite restrictions on mobility and interactions. It might also allow collecting data more frequently on important demographic and socioeconomic topics. However, conducting interviews by mobile phone might affect the ac…
Health service utilisation during the Covid-19 pandemic in sub-Saharan Africa in 2020
INTRODUCTION: There are concerns about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the continuation of essential health services in sub-Saharan Africa. Through the Countdown to 2030 for Women's, Children's and Adolescents' Health country collaborations, analysts from country and global public health institutions and ministries of health assessed the trends in selected services for maternal, newborn and child health, general service utilisation. METHOD…
Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy and its determinants among sub-Saharan African adolescents
COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among adolescents poses a challenge to the global effort to control the pandemic. This multi-country survey aimed to assess the prevalence and determinants of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa between July and December 2021. The survey was conducted using computer-assisted telephone interviewing among adolescents in five sub-Saharan African countries, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Ghana, Niger…
Continued disruptions in health care services and mental health among health care providers during the Covid-19 pandemic in five sub-Saharan African countries
Background: Continuous monitoring of the pandemic's impact on health service provision and mental health, COVID-19 perceptions, and compliance with prevention measures among health care providers (HCPs) can help with mitigating the pandemic's negative effects. Methods: A computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) survey was conducted among 1499 HCPs in Burkina Faso (Ouagadougou), Ethiopia (Addis Ababa), Nigeria (Lagos and Ibadan), Tanzania (…
Estimating mortality from census data
In low- and middle-income countries, mortality levels are commonly derived from retrospective reports on deceased relatives collected in sample surveys and censuses. These data sources are potentially affected by recall errors
Returning home to die or leaving home to seek health care? Location of death of urban and rural residents in Burkina Faso and Senegal
BACKGROUND: In sub-Saharan Africa, the literature on end of life is limited and focuses on place of death as an indicator of access and utilization of health-care resources. Little is known about population mobility at the end of life. OBJECTIVE: To document the magnitude, motivations and associated factors of short-term mobility before death among adults over 15 years of age in Burkina Faso and Senegal. METHODS: The study was based on deaths of …
Monitoring adult mortality by type of residence in the absence of death registration
In the context of the post 2015 agenda, disaggregation of mortality indicators is needed to assess health inequalities within populations. However, producing sub-national estimates of adult mortality is notably difficult in the absence of death registration. Using Burkina Faso as a case study, this paper revisits the main avenues to quantify differences in adult mortality between the ages of 15 and 60 according to urban/rural residence. Estimates…
Migration sélective des adultes et inégalités face au décès entre milieux urbains et ruraux au Burkina Faso
En prenant l'exemple du Burkina Faso, où les migrations du milieu rural vers le milieu urbain continuent d'alimenter abondamment le processus d'urbanisation, cette recherche teste les effets nets de la migration sur le différentiel de mortalité entre milieux urbains et ruraux chez les adultes de 15 à 74 ans. Elle s'appuie sur les informations recueillies dans les observatoires de population situés à la campagne (Nouna) et en ville (Ouagadougou) s…
Healthy or unhealthy migrants? Identifying internal migration effects on mortality in Africa using health and demographic surveillance systems of the INDEPTH network
Migration has been hypothesised to be selective on health but this healthy migrant hypothesis has generally been tested at destinations, and for only one type of flow, from deprived to better-off areas. The circulatory nature of migration is rarely accounted for. This study examines the relationship between different types of internal migration and adult mortality in Health and Demographic Surveillance System (HDSS) populations in West, East, and…
Maternal health care utilization in Nairobi and Ouagadougou
BACKGROUND: Maternal mortality is higher and skilled attendance at delivery is lower in the slums of Nairobi (Kenya) compared to Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso). Lower numbers of public health facilities, greater distance to facilities, and higher costs of maternal health services in Nairobi could explain these differences. OBJECTIVE: By comparing the use of maternal health care services among women with similar characteristics in the two cities, we w…
Comparing causes of death between formal and informal neighborhoods in urban Africa
BACKGROUND: The probable coexistence of two or more epidemiological profiles in urban Africa is poorly documented. In particular, very few studies have focused on the comparison of cause-specific mortality between two types of neighborhoods that characterize contemporary southern cities: formal neighborhoods, that is, structured or delineated settlements (planned estates) that have full access to public utilities (electricity and water services),…
Cause-specific childhood mortality in Africa and Asia
BACKGROUND: Childhood mortality, particularly in the first 5 years of life, is a major global concern and the target of Millennium Development Goal 4. Although the majority of childhood deaths occur in Africa and Asia, these are also the regions where such deaths are least likely to be registered. The INDEPTH Network works to alleviate this problem by collating detailed individual data from defined Health and Demographic Surveillance sites. By re…
Mortality from external causes in Africa and Asia
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…
Adult non-communicable disease mortality in Africa and Asia
BACKGROUND: Mortality from non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is a major global issue, as other categories of mortality have diminished and life expectancy has increased. The World Health Organization's Member States have called for a 25% reduction in premature NCD mortality by 2025, which can only be achieved by substantial reductions in risk factors and improvements in the management of chronic conditions. A high burden of NCD mortality among muc…
Understanding Inequities in Child Vaccination Rates among the Urban Poor
Studies on informal settlements in sub-Saharan Africa have questioned the health benefits of urban residence, but this should not suggest that informal settlements (within cities and across cities and/or countries) are homogeneous. They vary in terms of poverty, pollution, overcrowding, criminality, and social exclusion. Moreover, while some informal settlements completely lack public services, others have access to health facilities, sewers, run…
