Alarming disparities of adolescent motherhood in Nigeria
IMPORTANCE: Nigeria has a population of 233 million people and high rates of adolescent motherhood. Reduction of adolescent motherhood is a priority and primarily aligns with the sexual and reproductive health target (indicator 3.7.2) in the specific United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). OBJECTIVE: This study examined the trends and social disparities of health impacting adolescent motherhood at the state level. DESIGN, SETTINGS AN…
The need to strengthen Australian health and social policy to support survivors of the Stolen Generations
Population attributable fractions for modifiable risk factors of neonatal, infant, and under-five mortality in 48 low- and middle-income countries
Background: Identifying the modifiable risk factors for childhood mortality using population-attributable fractions (PAFs) estimates can inform public health planning and resource allocation in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We estimated PAFs for key population-level modifiable risk factors of neonatal, infant, and under-five mortality in LMICs. Methods: We used the most recent Demographic and Health Survey data sets (2010-22) from 48 …
Are adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) the root cause of the Aboriginal health gap in Australia
Indigenous Australians face a two-fold likelihood of experiencing multiple adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) including neglect, physical, emotional and sexual abuse compared with the general Australian population.The higher rate of ACEs among Indigenous Australians has consequentially led to the early diagnosis of chronic illnesses (eg, type II diabetes, cardiovascular disease and stroke), mental health issues (eg, anxiety, depression, suicide…
Comparative assessment of the SjSAP4-incorporated gold immunochromatographic assay for the diagnosis of human schistosomiasis japonica
Background Schistosomiasis, a disease caused by parasites of the genus Schistosoma , remains a global public health threat. This study aimed to validate the diagnostic performance of a recently developed gold immunochromatographic assay (GICA) for the detection of S. japonicum infection in a rural endemic area of the Philippines. Methods Human clinical samples were collected from 412 subjects living in Laoang and Palapag municipalities, Northern …
Mapping Local Variations and the Determinants of Childhood Stunting in Nigeria
The study findings showed wide variations in childhood stunting in Nigeria, suggesting the need for a realignment of health services to the poorest regions of Northern Nigeria
Interventions to improve the nutritional status of children under 5 years in Ethiopia
Objective: To conduct a systematic review of experimental or quasi-experimental studies that aimed to improve the nutritional status of children under 5 years of age in Ethiopia. Design: Embase, MEDLINE/PubMed, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), PsychINFO, and Academic Search Database were used to locate peer-reviewed studies, and Google Scholar and Open Dissertation were used to locate grey literatures. All search…
The Effects of Methamphetamine Use on the Sexual Lives of Gender and Sexually Diverse People in Dhaka, Bangladesh
Evaluation of the tuberculosis programme in Ningxia Hui Autonomous region, the People’s Republic of China
It is clear that active surveillance is necessary to determine the full extent of the burden of TB in NHAR. New control and treatment strategies for TB are required that increase awareness in the health-care system and at the individual and community level
Technology-enhanced Learning of Community Health in Undergraduate Medical Education
Assessing the causes of under-five mortality in the Albert Schweitzer Hospital service area of rural Haiti
In the Albert Schweitzer Hospital program area--and presumably in other areas of Haiti as well--priority needs to be given to the prevention of and the early, effective treatment of ALRI, diarrhea, and early neonatal conditions. This study points to the need for more, similar standardized assessments to guide local, regional, and national programs
Differences between observed and predicted energy costs at rest and during exercise in three subsistence-level populations
Estimates of daily energy expenditure are important for many areas of research in human ecology and adaptability. The most common technique for estimating human energy expenditure under field conditions, the factorial method, generally relies on activity-specific energy costs derived from published sources, based largely on North American and European subjects. There is concern that such data may not be appropriate for non-Western populations bec…
