  • Cost-effectiveness analysis of alternative infant and neonatal rotavirus vaccination schedules in Malawi

    Open AccessCatherine Wenger, Ernest O Asare et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Rotavirus is the leading cause of severe diarrhea among children under five worldwide, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Although vaccination is the best strategy to prevent rotavirus, obstacles leading to poor vaccine effectiveness undermine its impact in LMICs. This study aimed to identify the optimal rotavirus vaccination strategy for Malawi by modeling vaccine impact and cost-effectiveness, comparing the current two-dose…

  • The cost-effectiveness of using results-based financing to reduce maternal and perinatal mortality in Malawi

    Open AccessJobiba Chinkhumba, Manuela De Allegri et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    INTRODUCTION: Results-based financing (RBF) is being promoted to increase coverage and quality of maternal and perinatal healthcare in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) countries. Evidence on the cost-effectiveness of RBF is limited. We assessed the cost-effectiveness within the context of an RBF intervention, including performance-based financing and conditional cash transfers, in rural Malawi. METHODS: We used a decision tree model to estimate expected …

  • Exploiting the emergent nature of mixed methods designs

    Open AccessManuela De Allegri, Stephan Brenner et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2019Referencias: 16

    The application of mixed methods in Health Policy and Systems Research (HPSR) has expanded remarkably. Nevertheless, a recent review has highlighted how many mixed methods studies do not conceptualize the quantitative and the qualitative component as part of a single research effort, failing to make use of integrated approaches to data collection and analysis. More specifically, current mixed methods studies rarely rely on emergent designs as a s…

  • Quality of care in nutritional rehabilitation in HIV-endemic Malawi

    Open AccessPamela Fergusson, Kingsley Chikaphupha et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2009

    In Malawi, HIV and malnutrition are two of the most common causes of childhood morbidity and mortality. This qualitative study based in Nutrition Rehabilitation Units (NRU) in HIV-endemic Malawi explores caregiver's (staff and family) perspectives on quality of care for severely malnourished children. Three carer focus groups and 30 carer and staff in-depth interviews were conducted in two NRUs. The interviews and data analysis used a grounded th…
