Occupational Risk Perception and the Use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Open AccessFunmilayo Juliana Afolabi, Paul De Beer et al.ARTICLESAGE Open2021
Informal workers in developing countries are exposed to various occupational hazards that may cause accidents, injuries, or diseases. Personal protective equipment (PPE) can be an essential tool for preventing workers from exposure to these hazards. Despite the widely acknowledged benefits of PPE usage, many informal automobile artisans in Nigeria do not use PPE. This study examines factors that predict PPE usage among these artisans, particularl…
Orthodox or traditional medicine? Private or public healthcare? Exploring treatment pathways for occupational health problems among informal automobile artisans
Open AccessFunmilayo Juliana Afolabi, Paul De Beer et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2020References: 18
Even though informal workers in developing countries have the most hazardous jobs, there is a sheer neglect for the treatment of their occupational health problems (OHP) in practice and by policies. This qualitative study explored how informal automobile artisans from Nigeria sought care for their OHP. It focused on their choice between orthodox and traditional medicine, between self-care and professional care, and between private and public heal…
Strengthening capacity to research the social determinants of health in low- and middle-income countries
Open AccessNicholas Henschke, Anna Mirny et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2017
The INTREC programme has trained a promising cadre of health researchers who live and work in LMICs, which is an essential component of efforts to identify and reduce national and local level health inequities. Time management and technological issues were the greatest challenges, which can inform future attempts to strengthen research capacity on SDH
Enablers and barriers for implementing high-quality hypertension care in a rural primary care setting in Nigeria
Open AccessAina Olufemi Odusola, Karien Stronks et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2016
BACKGROUND: Hypertension is a highly prevalent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) that can be modified through timely and long-term treatment in primary care. OBJECTIVE: We explored perspectives of primary care staff and health insurance managers on enablers and barriers for implementing high-quality hypertension care, in the context of a community-based health insurance programme in rural Nigeria. DESIGN: Qualita…
Prevalence and social drivers of HIV among married and cohabitating heterosexual adults in south-eastern Tanzania
Open AccessSally Mtenga, Sally M Mtenga et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2015
BACKGROUND: In sub-Saharan Africa, the prevalence of HIV among married and cohabiting couples is substantial. Information about the underlying social drivers of HIV transmission in couples is critical for the development of structural approaches to HIV prevention, but not readily available. We explored the association between social drivers, practices, and HIV status among stable couples in Ifakara, Tanzania. DESIGN: Using a cross-sectional desig…
Training needs for research in health inequities among health and demographic researchers from eight African and Asian countries
Open AccessJoke Haafkens, Yulia Blomstedt et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014
The identified thematic clusters and statements provide a detailed understanding of what INDEPTH researchers want to learn in order to be able to conduct research on the social determinants of health inequalities. This offers a framework for developing capacity building programs in this emerging field of public health research
Addressing research capacity for health equity and the social determinants of health in three African countries
Open AccessKaren Hofman, Yulia Blomstedt et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2013
BACKGROUND: The importance of tackling economic, social and health-related inequities is increasingly accepted as a core concern for the post-Millennium Development Goal framework. However, there is a global dearth of high-quality, policy-relevant and actionable data on inequities within populations, which means that development solutions seldom focus on the people who need them most. INTREC (INDEPTH Training and Research Centres of Excellence) w…

Factors affecting the disclosure of diabetes by ethnic minority patients
Open AccessMirjam J E Kohinor, Mirjam JE Kohinor et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2011
Cultural customs inhibited Surinamese patients in disclosing their diabetes to people outside their very close family circles. This may influence their readiness to participate in community-based diabetes self-management programmes that involve other groups. What these findings highlight is that public health researchers and initiatives must identify and work with factors that influence the disclosure of diabetes if they are to develop community-…
Considerations affecting dietary behaviour of immigrants with type 2 diabetes
Mirjam J E Kohinor, Karien Stronks et al.ARTICLEEthnicity and Health2011Cited by: 1References: 3
For Surinamese diabetes patients, cooking and eating practices are related to deeply rooted cultural beliefs and values. The wish to maintain one's Surinamese identity may pose difficulty for patients' adherence to dietary guidelines, as these are perceived as being based on 'Dutch' habits. This suggests that immigrants with a long duration of residence in the host country like the Surinamese, who are seen as well integrated might benefit from cu…
Focus on sex differences in grant applications submitted to the Netherlands Organization for Health Research and Development
Open AccessDebby G Keuken, Joke A Haafkens et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2007
There is still insufficient incentive for those submitting research proposals to ZonMw to systematically incorporate sex differences when drafting such documents. The provisions in ZonMw's policy need to be amended and better monitored. For this, we formulated some recommendations
