  • Evaluating self-reported vaccination hesitancy in mobile phone surveys in low- and middle-income countries

    Open AccessRyan Rego, Ryan T Rego et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2025

    Background: The large amount of data on COVID-19 vaccination hesitancy presents a unique opportunity to better understand COVID-19 vaccination uptake. However, the utility of this data is unclear, particularly how representative the surveys are of general populations, how easy the data is to use, and how valid the outcome (intent to be vaccinated) is. We explored this in the World Bank's high frequency phone surveys (HFPS). Methods: The HFPS were…

  • Social cohesion, trust, and utilisation of maternal health services among refugee and host community women in Bangladesh and Kenya

    Open AccessHaeun Lee, Ryan Rego et al.ARTICLEDisasters2025References: 37

    The global refugee crisis places significant pressure on host communities, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Social cohesion and trust between refugee and host communities are critical for maternal health service utilisation. This study explores the relationship between host-refugee trust, social cohesion, and maternal health service use in Bangladesh and Kenya, focusing on facility-based delivery, antenatal care visits, and postn…

  • Low cost and real-time surveillance of enteric infection and diarrhoeal disease using rapid diagnostic tests in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh

    Open AccessSam Watson, Mohammed Atique Ul Alam et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2024

    With an appropriate correction for diagnostic performance RDTs can be used to generate reliable prevalence estimates, maps, and well-calibrated uncertainty estimates at a significantly lower cost than lab-based studies, providing a useful approach for disease surveillance in these settings

  • Coronavirus pandemic in the South Asia region

    Open AccessFurqan B Irfan, Ben Telford et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2023

    Background: The South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) covers Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. We conducted a comparative analysis of the trade-off between the health policies for the prevention of COVID-19 spread and the impact of these policies on the economies and livelihoods of the South Asia populations. Methods: We analyzed COVID-19 data on epidemiology, public health and he…

  • Evaluations of water, sanitation and hygiene interventions should not use diarrhoea as (primary) outcome

    Open AccessSam Watson, Samuel I Watson et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2022

    Water, sanitation and hygiene interventions have been the subject of cluster trials of unprecedented size, scale and cost in recent years. However, the question ‘what works in water, sanitation, hygiene (WASH)?’ remains poorly understood. Evaluations of community interventions to prevent infectious disease typically use lab-confirmed infection as a primary outcome; however, WASH trials mostly use reported diarrhoea. While diarrhoea is a significa…

  • Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy among non-refugees and refugees in Kenya

    Open AccessRyan Rego, Anthony Ngugi et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy (which we define as refusal to be vaccinated when asked, resulting in delayed or non- vaccination) are poorly studied in sub-Saharan Africa and among refugees, particularly in Kenya. Using survey data from wave five (March to June 2021) of the Kenya Rapid Response Phone Survey (RRPS), a household survey representative of the population of Kenya, we estimated the self-reported rates and factors as…
