The establishment of Health and Demographic Surveillance system (HDSS) in Bauchi State North East Nigeria; baseline findings, challenges and lessons learned
Country-specific estimates of misclassification rates of computer-coded verbal autopsy algorithms
INTRODUCTION: Computer-coded verbal autopsy (CCVA) algorithms are routinely used to determine individual cause of death (COD) and derive population-level estimates of cause-specific mortality fractions (CSMFs). But frequent COD misclassification leads to biased CSMF estimates. The VA-calibration framework reduces the bias by estimating misclassification rates; but it overlooks systematic patterns and cross-country variation, reducing the accuracy…
Factors Influencing Knowledge of Covid-19 Prevention in Eastern Ethiopia
This study examined coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) prevention knowledge among community residents in Eastern Ethiopia to support public health interventions and vaccination coverage. A cross-sectional survey in August-September 2021 recruited 880 participants from households in a Health and Demographic Surveillance System (HDSS) in Harari and Oromia, Ethiopia. Participants were randomly selected and interviewed in person using tablets and a …
Rural Residence, Motorcycle Access, and Contraception Use in South and Southeast Asia☆
Access to contraception is critical for limiting fertility. Yet, in South and Southeast Asia, access to these resources is often limited by spatial inequalities between rural and urban areas. Access to a motorcycle may empower women living in rural areas to attenuate these spatial inequalities, increase their educational attainment and participation in labor markets, and thereby facilitate a shift in fertility preferences. Concomitantly, motorcyc…
Overweight and obesity among women at reproductive age in Cambodia: Data analysis of Cambodia Demographic and Health Survey 2014
Overweight and obesity increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, stroke, and some type of cancers, and maternal health globally. In Cambodia, the prevalence of overweight and obesity among women aged 15–49 years increased from 6% in 2000 to 18% in 2014, becoming a public health burden. We examined socio-demographic and behavioral factors associated with overweight and/or obesity among women of reproducti…
Knowledge of Covid-19 symptoms, transmission, and prevention: Evidence from health and demographic surveillance in Southern Mozambique
Understanding community members’ knowledge of SARS-CoV-2 transmission and prevention is essential for directing public health interventions to reduce disease spread and improve vaccination coverage. Here, we describe knowledge of COVID-19 transmission, prevention, and symptoms among community residents in Mozambique. We conducted a cross-sectional survey among 33,087 households in a Health and Demographic Surveillance System in Manhiça, Mozambiqu…
Child anemia in Cambodia: A descriptive analysis of temporal and geospatial trends and logistic regression-based examination of factors associated with anemia in children
Anemia in children remains a public health concern in many resource-limited countries. To better understand child anemia in Cambodia, we examined temporal and geospatial trends of childhood anemia and used logistic regression to analyze its association with individual and household characteristics using data from the Cambodia Demographic and Health Surveys for 2005, 2010, and 2014. The prevalence of childhood anemia decreased from 62.2% in 2005 t…
Household hardships and responses to Covid-19 pandemic-related shocks in Eastern Ethiopia
Our results identify characteristics of groups at-risk for household hardships during the pandemic; these findings may inform efforts to mitigate the consequences of COVID-19 and future disease outbreaks
To move home or move on? Investigating the impact of recovery aid on migration status as a potential tool for disaster risk reduction in the aftermath of volcanic eruptions in Merapi, Indonesia
Migration and Mental Health in the Aftermath of Disaster: Evidence from Mt. Merapi, Indonesia
Migration is a standard survival strategy in the context of disasters. While prior studies have examined factors associated with return migration following disasters, an area that remains relatively underexplored is whether moving home to one's original community results in improved health and well-being compared to other options such as deciding to move on. In the present study, our objective is to explore whether return migration, compared to o…
Overcoming Geographic Penalties of Inequality
Geographic isolation and spatial inequality are growing issues for most countries. However, distance-demolishing technologies have been proposed as a solution of overcoming geographic barriers associated with geographic penalties. This research uses the rapid and widespread adoption of inexpensive motorcycles in Vietnam as a case study of how distance-demolishing technologies can improve household well-being. Utilising panel data from the 2004, 2…
Cultural Antecedents to Community: An Evaluation of Community Experience in the United States, Thailand, and Vietnam
To what extent does community experience differ between low context and high context societies? Prior literature theorizes that community experience consists of two separate, yet highly related concepts: community attachment , an individual's general rootedness to a place, and community satisfaction , how well an individual's community meets their societal needs. We test this conceptualization of community experience across communities in the US …
