  • Mentorship as an overlooked dimension of research capacity strengthening

    Open AccessCandice Bonaconsa, Vrinda Nampoothiri et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2024

    Mentorship in global health remains an overlooked dimension of research partnerships. Commitment to effective mentorship models requires value-driven approaches. This includes having an understanding of (1) what mentorship means across different cultural and hierarchical boundaries in the health research environment, and (2) addressing entrenched power asymmetries across different aspects including funding, leadership, data and outputs, and capac…

  • A survey of patient and public perceptions and awareness of Sars-CoV-2-related risks among participants in India and South Africa

    Open AccessOluchi Nneka Mbamalu, Surya Surendran et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    A cross-sectional survey among participants in India and South Africa to explore perceptions and awareness of SARS-CoV-2-related risks. Main outcome measures–proportion of participants aware of SARS-CoV-2, and their perception of infection risks as it related to their views and perceptions on vaccination, i.e., using COVID-19 vaccine uptake as proxy for awareness level. Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect data via web- and paper…

  • Macro level factors influencing strategic responses to emergent pandemics

    Open AccessNina Zhu, Nina J Zhu et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2021

    BACKGROUND: Strategic planning is critical for successful pandemic management. This study aimed to identify and review the scope and analytic depth of situation analyses conducted to understand their utility, and capture the documented macro-level factors impacting pandemic management. METHODS: To synthesise this disparate body of literature, we adopted a two-step search and review process. A systematic search of the literature was conducted to i…

  • Macro level influences on strategic responses to the Covid-19 pandemic – an international survey and tool for national assessments

    Open AccessRaheelah Ahmad, Rifat Atun et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2021

    BACKGROUND: Variation in the approaches taken to contain the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic at country level has been shaped by economic and political considerations, technical capacity, and assumptions about public behaviours. To address the limited application of learning from previous pandemics, this study aimed to analyse perceived facilitators and inhibitors during the pandemic and to inform the development of an assessment tool for pandemic…

  • Code-Sharing in Cost-of-Illness Calculations

    Open AccessNichola R Naylor, Kazuto Yamashita et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2020

    Background: More data-driven evidence is needed on the cost of antibiotic resistance. Both Japan and England have large surveillance and administrative datasets. Code sharing of costing models enables reduced duplication of effort in research. Objective: To estimate the burden of antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream infections (BSIs) in Japan, utilizing code that was written to estimate the hospital burden of antibiotic-resistan…

  • A multilevel neo-institutional analysis of infection prevention and control in English hospitals

    Open AccessYiannis Kyratsis, Raheelah Ahmad et al.ARTICLESociology of Health & Illness2019References: 45

    Despite committed policy, regulative and professional efforts on healthcare safety, little is known about how such macro-interventions permeate organisations and shape culture over time. Informed by neo-institutional theory, we examined how inter-organisational influences shaped safety practices and inter-subjective meanings following efforts for coerced culture change. We traced macro-influences from 2000 to 2015 in infection prevention and cont…

  • Involving citizens in priority setting for public health research

    Open AccessTimothy M Rawson, Enrique Castro‐sánchez et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2018

    BACKGROUND: Public sources fund the majority of UK infection research, but citizens currently have no formal role in resource allocation. To explore the feasibility and willingness of citizens to engage in strategic decision making, we developed and tested a practical tool to capture public priorities for research. METHOD: A scenario including six infection themes for funding was developed to assess citizen priorities for research funding. This w…
