Advancing Early Warning Systems for Malaria
Malaria Early Warning Systems (EWS) are predictive tools that often use climatic and other environmental variables to forecast malaria risk and trigger timely interventions. Despite their potential benefits, the development and implementation of malaria EWS face significant challenges and limitations. We reviewed the current evidence on malaria EWS, including their settings, methods, performance, actions, and evaluation. We conducted a comprehens…
Caregiver experiences and perceptions of childhood vaccination information and messaging - a qualitative study in the urban informal settlements of Nairobi, Kenya
The findings underscore the importance of tailoring childhood vaccination communication strategies to resonate with caregivers' diverse needs and preferences. An ongoing and responsive approach to incorporating caregiver feedback in developing health messaging can ensure that communication strategies support caregiver needs. Healthcare workers and community health volunteers must also be equipped with practical communication tools and training to…
Contextualization and adaptation of the child and adolescent mental and behavioural disorders module of the mhGAP-IG in Kilifi and Nairobi counties in Kenya
The Mental Health Gap Action Programme Intervention Guide (mhGAP-IG) was developed by the World Health Organization as a key tool for delivering evidence-based mental healthcare in non-specialized settings. The mhGAP-IG requires contextualization and adaptation to ensure local relevance. However, evidence on adapting the Child and Adolescent Mental Disorders (CMH) module of the mhGAP-IG is limited. This study contextualized and adapted the 2016 m…
Understanding the fine-scale heterogeneity and spatial drivers of malaria transmission in Kenya using model-based geostatistical methods
Malaria remains a public health concern. Monitoring the fine-scale heterogeneity of the malaria burden enables more targeted control efforts. Although malaria indicator surveys (MIS) have been crucial in evaluating the progress of malaria control interventions, they are only designed to provide a cross-sectional national and regional malaria disease burden. Recent advances in geostatistical methods allow us to interpolate national survey data to …
