  • Risk perception of Ebola virus disease and Covid-19 among transport drivers living in Ugandan border districts

    Open AccessMaría José Blanco-Penedo, Hannah Brindle et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Background: Cross-border movements between districts bordering Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) are common due to the interdependence between populations on either side, though this increases the risk of the international spread of infectious diseases. Due to the nature of their work, boda boda drivers (motorcycle taxis), taxis and truck drivers continue to cross the border during epidemics. However, perceived risk of contracting…

  • Social networks for health communication in rural Uganda

    Open AccessDaniel H De Vries, J Bruggeman et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2020

    To reach the most vulnerable individuals in under-resourced countries, health communication interventions increasingly move towards the community level.

  • The first mile

    Open AccessDaniel H De Vries, Jude T Rwemisisi et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016

    Given the available anthropological knowledge of a previous outbreak in Northern Uganda, it is surprising that so little serious effort was made this time round to take local sensibilities and culture into account. The "first mile" problem is not only a question of using local resources for early detection, but also of making use of the contextual cultural knowledge that has already been collected and is readily available. Despite remarkable tech…

    Open AccessJude T Rwemisisi, J Rwemisisi et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2007Cited by: 8

    BACKGROUND: Limited research has been conducted outside Western settings on how HIV-positive parents decide to test and disclose their own HIV status to children. We conducted a qualitative study in 2001 and 2005 to assess parent attitudes and current counselling policy and practice regarding child testing and parental disclosure in Uganda prior to the roll-out of antiretroviral therapy. METHODS: Parent perspectives were obtained through extended…
