Engaging Youth in Global Health Research Through Photovoice and Reflexivity
Meaningful youth engagement is increasingly recognized as essential to achieving substantive and sustainable improvement in youth health globally. Although 90% of the world’s young people live in low- and middle-income countries, youth involved in shaping global health agendas continue to be predominantly from high-income countries. Calls for decolonial methodologies in global health have highlighted the need to redistribute power, yet most struc…
Operationalizing the One Health approach at the intersection of research and development
Small-scale livestock farming remains central to food security and income-generation in several low and middle countries (LMIC), but it can also be an important source of zoonoses in areas where access to water and sanitation is poor. The role played by women in this sector is often overlooked. ELUZO is an international, intersectoral, and multidisciplinary One Health project that aims to reduce the impact of zoonotic diseases and empower women i…

Health service responses and help-seeking for women experiencing violence during outbreaks in low- and middle-income settings
During outbreaks women struggle to access essential health services, including services for violence. Services may be disrupted or deprioritised, or women may avoid clinical settings. We conducted a scoping review to understand how health services for violence against women (VAW) were affected in low- and middle-income (LMIC) settings during recent outbreaks, and how women sought help following violence. We reviewed published academic literature …

Background Sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, and sexual characteristics (SOGIESC) concepts are not mentioned in human rights treaties but are increasingly present in the activity of UN treaty bodies, resulting for instance in decisions, general comments and recommendations, concluding observations. Scholars have developed an increasing interest for this inclusion of SOGIESC in international law, more specifically human right…
Factors associated with HIV testing among pregnant women in Rwanda
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing during pregnancy is crucial for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV, through aiding prompt treatment, care, and support. However, few studies have explored HIV testing among pregnant women in Rwanda. This study, therefore, aimed to determine the prevalence and associated factors of HIV testing among pregnant women in Rwanda. We used secondary data from the 2020 Rwanda Demographic and He…
Feasibility study of a menstrual health behaviour change intervention for women and girls with intellectual disabilities and their caregivers for Vanuatu’s humanitarian responses
The Veivanua campaign is a menstrual health intervention for people with intellectual disabilities and their caregivers in Vanuatu’s humanitarian setting. The campaign was adapted from the Bishesta campaign delivered in Nepal’s development setting. This feasibility study is designed to assess the feasibility and acceptability of the Veivanua campaign to understand if efficacy testing is warranted. The Veivanua campaign was delivered to a preselec…
The complexity of addressing equity in Covid-19-related global health governance and population health research priorities in Canada
This study provides substantial evidence of the multilayered and complex intersection between COVID-19-related GHG and population health research priorities in Canada. Although the window of opportunity was slim according to study respondents, there was still a unique collective effort to address COVID-19-related socioeconomic and health inequities by considering the numerous recommendations proposed by the four groups of study respondents. These…
Promise and peril
Our study highlighted that stakeholder priorities and a limited understanding about public health systems influenced how reforms were implemented.

Disability and sexual and reproductive health service utilisation in Uganda

Factors influencing diagnosis and treatment initiation for multidrug-resistant/rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis in six sub-Saharan African countries
Disability and Access to Sexual and Reproductive Health Services in Cameroon
There is growing evidence showing that people with disabilities face more frequently socioeconomic inequities than their non-disabled peers. This study aims to examine to what extent socioeconomic consequences of disability contribute to poorer access to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services for Cameroonian with disabilities and how these outcomes vary with disabilities characteristics and gender. It uses data from a population-based surv…
