Association between physical multimorbidity and common mental health disorders in rural and urban Malawian settings
In low-income Africa, the epidemiology of physical multimorbidity and associated mental health conditions is not well described. We investigated the multimorbidity burden, disease combinations, and relationship between physical multimorbidity and common mental health disorders in rural and urban Malawi using early data from 9,849 adults recruited to an on-going large cross-sectional study on long-term conditions, initiated in 2021. Multimorbidity…
Champion and audit and feedback strategy fidelity and their relationship to depression intervention fidelity
Background: Globally, mental health disorders rank as the greatest cause of disability. Low and middle-income countries (LMICs) hold a disproportionate share of the mental health burden, especially as it pertains to depression. Depression is highly prevalent among those with non-communicable diseases (NCDs), creating a barrier to successful treatment. While some treatments have proven efficacy in LMIC settings, wide dissemination is challenged by…
Evaluating the validity of depression-related stigma measurement among diabetes and hypertension patients receiving depression care in Malawi
Mental illness stigma research is sparse in Malawi. Our team previously analyzed the reliability and statistical validity of a quantitative tool to measure depression-related stigma among participants with depressive symptoms using quantitative psychometric methods. This analysis aims to further evaluate the content validity of the stigma tool by comparing participants’ quantitative responses with qualitative data. The SHARP project conducted dep…
A health intervention or a kitchen appliance? Household costs and benefits of a cleaner burning biomass-fuelled cookstove in Malawi
Pneumonia is the leading cause of mortality for children under five years in sub-Saharan Africa. Household air pollution has been found to increase risk of pneumonia, especially due to exposure from dirty burning biomass fuels. It has been suggested that advanced stoves, which burn fuel more efficiently and reduce smoke emissions, may help to reduce household air pollution in poor, rural settings. This qualitative study aims to provide an insight…
