  • Post-Omicron Sars-CoV-2 antibody prevalence in Sierra Leone

    Open AccessSmit Chitre, M Bailor Barrie et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Based on a serosurvey conducted in March 2021, Barrie and colleagues published the first nationally representative SARS-CoV-2 serosurvey in Africa, estimating a SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence of 2.6% in Sierra Leone, 43 times higher than the reported number of cases at that time. Over the following two years, increasingly transmissible variants—specifically Delta and Omicron—proliferated across the globe, and their impact in Africa is poorly understoo…

  • Representations of an Ebola ‘outbreak’ through Story Technologies

    Open AccessRaphael Frankfurter, M Malik et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2024

    Background Attempts to understand biosocial phenomena using scientific methods are often presented as value-neutral and objective; however, when used to reduce the complexity of open systems such as epidemics, these forms of inquiry necessarily entail normative considerations and are therefore fashioned by political worldviews (ideologies). From the standpoint of poststructural theory, the character of these representations is at most limited and…

  • A post-outbreak assessment of exposure proximity and Ebola virus disease-related stigma among community members in Kono District, Sierra Leone

    Open AccessMichelle C Davidson, Scott Lu et al.ARTICLESSM - Mental Health2022

    Background: Based on findings from other contexts, informed by intergroup contact theory, that more contact is associated with less stigma, we hypothesized that community members with greater exposure to cases of Ebola virus disease (EVD) were less likely to report EVD-related stigma towards EVD survivors. We assessed personal stigmatizing attitudes towards Ebola survivors, which reflects personal fear and judgement, as well as perceived stigma t…

  • Long-term consequences of food insecurity among Ebola virus disease-affected households after the 2013–2016 epidemic in rural communities of Kono District, Sierra Leone

    Open AccessManuella L Djomaleu, Abu B Rogers et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    The 2013–2016 Ebola virus disease (EVD) epidemic caused food insecurity during and immediately following local outbreaks in Sierra Leone, but longer-term effects are less well described, particularly among households with no EVD survivors. We conducted a qualitative sub-study in July 2018 in Kono District, Sierra Leone to understand the impact of food insecurity on EVD-affected households. Using data from a community-based cohort, we compiled a l…

  • Sars-CoV-2 antibody prevalence in Sierra Leone, March 2021

    Open AccessM Bailor Barrie, Sulaiman Lakoh et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    INTRODUCTION: As of 26 March 2021, the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention had reported 4 159 055 cases of COVID-19 and 111 357 deaths among the 55 African Union member states; however, no country has published a nationally representative serosurvey as of October 2021. Such data are vital for understanding the pandemic's progression on the continent, evaluating containment measures, and policy planning. METHODS: We conducted a cross…

  • Indirect rule redux

    Raphael Frankfurter, Mara Kardas-Nelson et al.ARTICLEReview of African Political Economy2018Citada por: 4Referências: 10

    This article explores the relationship between the 2014-2016 Ebola outbreak and the political economy of diamond mining in Kono District, Sierra Leone. The authors argue that foreign companies have recycled colonial strategies of indirect rule to facilitate the illicit flow of resources out of Sierra Leone. Drawing on field research conducted during the outbreak and in its aftermath, they show how this 'indirect rule redux' undermines democratic …

  • Evaluation of a community-based ART programme after tapering home visits in rural Sierra Leone

    Open AccessJohn D Kelly, Raphael Frankfurter et al.ARTICLESAHARA-J Journal of Social…2018Referências: 28

    Evaluations of community-based antiretroviral therapy (ART) programmes have demonstrated positive outcomes, but little is known about the impact of tapering community-based ART. The objective of this study was to assess 24-month HIV retention outcomes of a community-based ART programme and its tapered visit frequency in Koidu City, Sierra Leone. This retrospective, quasi-experimental study compared outcomes of 52 HIV-infected persons initiated on…

  • Housing equity for health equity

    Open AccessJohn D Kelly, M Bailor Barrie et al.ARTICLEBMC International Health and…2013

    Poor quality housing is an infringement on the rights of all humans to a standard of living adequate for health. Among the many vulnerabilities of those without adequate shelter is the risk of disease spread by rodents and other pests. One such disease is Lassa fever, an acute and sometimes severe viral hemorrhagic illness endemic in West Africa. Lassa virus is maintained in the rodent Mastomys natalensis , commonly known as the “multimammate rat…
