Reduction of stillbirth rate in refugee and migrant populations living on the Thailand Myanmar border
Understanding the local causes of stillbirth is essential to providing safe care in pregnancy and birth. This study describes the rate and causes of stillbirth and identifies factors associated with stillbirth in the migrant and refugee population residing in border regions between Thailand and Myanmar. A retrospective review of medical records of all singleton pregnancies delivered or followed at antenatal clinics of the Shoklo Malaria Research …
Migrant women’s experience of antenatal care in an urban and rural setting in north and North-West Thailand
The barriers and facilitators family caregivers experience when participating in resource-limited hospital care
Assessing the implementation fidelity, feasibility, and sustainability of community-based house improvement for malaria control in southern Malawi
Our study found that although HI was initially implemented as planned, its fidelity declined over time. Using trained volunteers facilitated the fidelity and feasibility of implementing the intervention. A combination of rigorous community education, consistent training, information, education and communication, and intervention modifications may be necessary to address the challenges and enhance the intervention's fidelity, feasibility, and sust…
Family participation to enhance care and tackle health worker shortages in resource-limited hospitals
Community-based house improvement for malaria control in southern Malawi
House improvement (HI) refers to the full screening or closing of openings such as windows, doors, and eaves, as well as the installation of ceilings, to reduce mosquito-human contact indoors. HI is a viable supplementary intervention that reduces malaria transmission further than the existing strategies alone. In Malawi, HI has not been widely implemented and evaluated for malaria control. Concerns about lack of local evidence, durability in dif…
Willingness to Contribute to Bio-Larviciding in the Fight against Malaria
There is broad consensus that successful and sustained larval source management (LSM) interventions, including bio-larviciding campaigns, require embeddedness in local community institutions. Ideally, these community structures should also be capable of mobilizing local resources to (co-)finance interventions. To date, farmer cooperatives, especially cooperatives of rice growers whose economic activity facilitates mosquito breeding, have remained…
A qualitative exploration of the experiences of community health animation on malaria control in rural Malawi
BACKGROUND: While great strides have been achieved in fighting malaria through the Roll Back Malaria (RBM) strategy, the recent world malaria report shows an increase in malaria-related deaths compared to previous years. Malaria control tools are efficacious and effective in preventing the disease; however, the human behaviour aspect of the intervention strategies is weak due to heavy reliance on positive human health behaviour. The challenge lie…
Malaria control in rural Malawi
BACKGROUND: Interventions to reduce malaria burden are effective if communities use them appropriately and consistently. Several tools have been suggested to promote uptake and use of malaria control interventions. Community workshops on malaria, using the 'Health Animator' approach, are a potential behaviour change strategy for malaria control. The strategy aims to influence a change in mind-set of vulnerable populations to encourage self-relian…
