Morbidity burden and predictors of hospitalization among unaccompanied migrants and persons prone to statelessness in Ghana
A proportion of global migration involves individuals migrating without parental or legal guardianship and those who face varied barriers to citizenship. Yet empirical evidence on their morbidity burdens and hospitalization particularly in Ghana and similar context remains scarce. This limits capacity for informed policy, planning, and response strategies aligned with global health targets. This study examined the burden of communicable and non-c…
Predictors of food security status among informal caregivers of older adults residing in slums in Ghana
Considering these findings, policymakers are urged to integrate socio-economic and health characteristics of informal caregivers into food security policies. This inclusive approach is essential for enhancing the food security status of informal caregivers responsible for older adults in slum communities

Analysis of the relationship between forest patch degradation, land uses, and terrain variables in a protected landscape in Ghana
Due to the implications of deforestation on global climate and environmental changes, concerns for forest patch degradation have grown in recent times. Recent studies have concentrated on assessing general land use and land cover dynamics, but in this study, we are interested in modeling the association between degraded patches of forest cover, land uses, and landscape's terrain characteristics. We use methods from landscape ecology, remote sensi…
The role of gender in health insurance enrollment among geriatric caregivers
Gender was a significant predictor of health insurance enrollment among informal caregivers of older adults. This finding contributes to the empirical debates on the role of gender in health insurance enrollment among informal caregivers of older adults. Policymakers need to develop gender-specific measures to address gender gaps in health insurance enrollment among informal caregivers of older adults in Ghana. Such health policies and programs s…
Community perception of forest reserve regulations enforcement in the Tano-Offin forest reserve, Ghana
In areas of high ecological importance, regulations are required to ensure that anthropogenic land uses are sustainable. In regulating such areas , it is important to consider the perspectives of land users to evaluate how regulations are effectively being enforced to achieve desired goals. While local perspectives have proven valuable in ensuring forest regulation compliance, little is known regarding community members’ perception about forest r…
Health needs of migrant female head porters in Ghana
The findings underscore differential health needs across geographical localities. Based on the findings of the study, specific health needs such as ante-natal care and post-natal care should be included in any health programmes and policies that aim at addressing health needs of migrant female head porters in the two metropolitan areas of Ghana
Factors associated with community awareness of forest reserve regulations in the Tano-Offin forest reserve in Ghana
Using questionnaire surveys and drawing on the co-cultural theory, this study examines the spatial, demographic, and socioeconomic factors influencing the awareness of land use and forest reserve regulations among forest fringe communities in the Tano-Offin forest reserve in Ghana. The study finds that high-income community members are significantly more likely to be aware of the regulations. Additionally, women and migrants are significantly les…
Dynamics of health information-seeking behaviour among older adults with very low incomes in Ghana
An adequate and reliable source of information is essential to promoting the health of older people. Their inability to secure the right health information could further worsen their health status. Thus, the study provides the need for appropriate health policy interventions on the sources and types of health information sought by older adults with very low incomes in Ghana. Healthcare providers are recommended to remain open, friendly and recept…
Predicting financial barriers to formal healthcare utilisation among poor older people under the Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty Programme in Ghana
Assessment of local wood species used for the manufacture of cookware and the perception of chemical benefits and chemical hazards associated with their use in Kumasi, Ghana
BackgroundHistorical proven wood species have no reported adverse health effect associated with its past use. Different historical proven species have traditionally been used to manufacture different wooden food contact items. This study uses survey questionnaires to assess suppliers', manufacturers', retailers' and consumers' (end-users') preferences for specific wood species, to examine the considerations that inform these preferences and to in…
