Sexual and reproductive health rights
Married women of reproductive age (MWRA) can experience violations of their sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR). Adequate knowledge and understanding of SRRs are critical to their ability to protect themselves. This study assessed the knowledge and practice of SRHRs among the MWRA residing in Besishahar Municipality. A cross-sectional study was conducted among the 342 MWRA in Besishahar Municipality using a pre-tested structured question…
Assessing differences in healthcare access by HIV status to inform cervical cancer and HIV screening in rural Uganda
Uganda has one of the highest incidence rates of cervical cancer in the world. Although this impacts all women, women living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) experience an increased risk for developing cervical cancer. This study aims to compare how HIV-positive and HIV-negative women in a remote sub-county in Uganda access health services to inform consideration of potential HIV and HPV-based cervical cancer screening integration at the c…
Female sex worker preferences for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis delivery in Uganda
Cisgender female sex workers (FSWs) in sub-Saharan Africa have a high risk of HIV acquisition, highlighting the need for innovative approaches to expand coverage of evidence-based HIV prevention methods, including oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). Our study aimed to identify FSWs’ preferences for a PrEP delivery model with structured choices for delivery location, services offered, and adherence support. We conducted a discrete choice experim…
Global burden and strength of evidence for 88 risk factors in 204 countries and 811 subnational locations, 1990–2021
BACKGROUND: Understanding the health consequences associated with exposure to risk factors is necessary to inform public health policy and practice. To systematically quantify the contributions of risk factor exposures to specific health outcomes, the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021 aims to provide comprehensive estimates of exposure levels, relative health risks, and attributable burden of disease for 88 ri…
Associations between gestational weight gain under different guidelines and adverse birth outcomes
Several gestational weight gain (GWG) guidelines have been established based on monocenter or multicenter researches. We aimed to examine the associations between categories of GWG under the Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommendation guideline, the Chinese National Health Commission (NHC) guideline, and weight-gain-for-gestational-age z-scores derived from the INTERGROWTH-21 st Project and adverse birth outcomes. We used data from an antenatal mi…
Improving maternal and neonatal outcomes among pregnant women who are HIV-positive or HIV-negative through the Saving Mothers Giving Life initiative in Uganda
HIV infection is associated with poor maternal health outcomes. In 2016, the maternal mortality ratio (MMR) in Uganda was 336/100,000, and the neonatal mortality rate (NMR) was 19/1,000. Saving Mothers, Giving Life (SMGL) was a five-year maternal and neonatal health strengthening initiative launched in 2012 in Uganda. We extracted maternal and neonatal data for 2015–2016 from the initiative’s population-based mortality surveillance system in 123 …
Asymptomatic infections with Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Trichomonas vaginalis among women in low- and middle-income countries
Syndromic management of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is common in settings with limited access to diagnostic testing. However, this approach does not capture asymptomatic STIs. Untreated asymptomatic infections may result in serious complications and sequelae in women. We aimed to estimate the proportion and the prevalence of asymptomatic Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG), and Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) infections a…
Rates and risk factors for antepartum and intrapartum stillbirths in 20 secondary hospitals in Imo state, Nigeria
Despite Nigeria’s stillbirth rate reducing from 28.6 to 22.5 per 1,000 births from 2000–2021, progress trails comparable indicators and regional variations persist. We assessed stillbirth incidences and associated risk factors in 20 secondary hospitals in Imo state, to generate essential local evidence to inform policymaking to reduce mortality. The total numbers of births and their outcomes were determined through hospital maternity registers. A…
Prevalence and determinants of adolescent childbearing
Objectives: Bangladesh has one of the highest adolescent childbearing rates in South Asia, which prevent women from realizing their full potential in life. This study aimed to compare the prevalence and determinants of adolescent childbearing in Bangladesh using data from the 2014 and 2017-18 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS). Methods: Nationally representative surveys of respondents were selected using a two-stage sampling process.…
Sexual and reproductive healthcare utilisation and affordability for South Sudanese refugees and host populations in Northern Uganda
Given Uganda’s increasing refugee population, the health financing burden on refugee and host populations is likely to increase because Uganda’s integrated health system caters to both populations. We used sexual, reproductive, and maternal health (SRMH) as a lens to assess the utilisation and user cost of health services in Northern Uganda to identify potential gaps in SRMH services and their financing. We conducted a cross-sectional survey amon…
Knowledge, attitude and practice of diabetes among secondary school-going children in Bangladesh
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a global public health concern. DM has been increasing alarmingly among the young people and childhood-onset has now become an emerging issue worldwide. Unlike other chronic diseases, DM requires constant and active attention of the patients, sometimes of their family members for successful management of this disease. Knowledge, attitude, and practices make significant differences at the population level, which largely d…
Association between comorbidity and health-related quality of life in a hypertensive population
Prevalent comorbidities, diabetes and obesity were found to be the significant underlying causes of declining HRQoL. It is recommended that the comorbidities should be adequately addressed for better HRQoL. Special attention should be given to address mental health issues of patients with hypertension
Global health is more than just ‘Public Health Somewhere Else’
Global health can be anywhere as it often focuses on large-scale health inequities that are rooted in transnational determinants. Some global health initiatives and actors aim to find solutions to domestic problems. King and Koski's definition of global health may exacerbate inequities by reserving the right to call oneself a global health researcher to those who are privileged and have access to funding that enables them to travel to other setti…
Health and Demographic Surveillance System Sites
Although there should be no ambivalence regarding the importance of the Health and demographic surveillance System (HDSS), surveillance and research on human populations is beset with a variety of ethical issues. This is particularly true in the area of global health research, which merits attention in health policies related to research ethics. The objective of this paper is to analyse the use of HDSS sites to obtain data and to resolve ethical …
Social inequalities in the utilization of maternal care in Bangladesh
Although socially disadvantaged mothers increased their utilization of care relative to mothers of higher socioeconomic status, the absolute gap in utilization of care between socioeconomic groups has increased over time. Our findings indicate that wealthier and more educated women, as well as those living in urban areas, are the major users of ANC, FBD and SBA in Bangladesh. Thus, priority focus should be given to implementing and evaluating int…
