  • Assessing the implementation fidelity, feasibility, and sustainability of community-based house improvement for malaria control in southern Malawi

    Open AccessTinashe A Tizifa, Alinune N Kabaghe et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    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…

  • Maternal mental health research in Malawi

    Open AccessMyness Kasanda Ndambo, Martyn Pickersgill et al.ARTICLESSM - Mental Health2023

    Maternal mental health (MMH) is recognised as globally significant. The prevalence of depression and factors associated with its onset among perinatal women in Malawi has been previously reported, and the need for further research in this domain is underscored. Yet, there is little published scholarship regarding the acceptability and ethicality of MMH research to women and community representatives. The study reported here sought to address this…

    Open AccessAbdur Razzaque Sarker, Irfat Zabeen et al.EDITORARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Despite improvements in many health indicators in the last few decades, providing access to affordable and quality healthcare for older citizen remains a considerable challenge in Bangladesh.

  • Adoption of evidence-based global policies at the national level

    Open AccessJayne Webster, Jenna Hoyt et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2021References: 27

    In 2012, the World Health Organization (WHO) updated its policy on intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy with sulphadoxine–pyrimethamine (IPTp-SP). A global recommendation to revise the WHO policy on the treatment of malaria in the first trimester is under review. We conducted a retrospective study of the national policy adoption process for revised IPTp-SP dosing in four sub-Saharan African countries. Alongside this retrospective study,…

  • A qualitative exploration of the experiences of community health animation on malaria control in rural Malawi

    Open AccessTumaini Malenga, Frances Griffiths et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2020

    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…

  • The role of the traditional leader in implementing maternal, newborn and child health policy in Malawi

    Open AccessAisling Walsh, Anne Matthews et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2018Cited by: 1References: 46

    Traditional leaders play a prominent role at the community level in Malawi, yet limited research has been undertaken on their role in relation to policy implementation. This article seeks to analyse the role of traditional leaders in implementing national maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) policy and programmes at the community level. We consider whether the role of the chief embodies a top-down (utilitarian) or bottom-up (empowerment) app…

  • Health Selection, Migration, and HIV Infection in Malawi

    Open AccessPhilip Anglewicz, Mark Vanlandingham et al.ARTICLEDemography2018Cited by: 5References: 76

    Despite its importance in studies of migrant health, selectivity of migrants—also known as migration health selection—has seldom been examined in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). This neglect is problematic because several features of the context in which migration occurs in SSA—very high levels of HIV, in particular—differ from contextual features in regions that have been studied more thoroughly. To address this important gap, we use longitudinal pane…

  • Malaria control in rural Malawi

    Open AccessTumaini Malenga, Alinune N Kabaghe et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2017

    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…
