  • Health conditions of older adults in complex humanitarian settings in low- and middle-income countries

    Open AccessElburg Van Boetzelaer, Patrick Keating et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    BACKGROUND: Inpatient admissions of older adults in humanitarian settings in low-income and middle-income countries remain poorly documented, likely leading to gaps in the delivery of age-appropriate health services. This analysis aims to contribute to age-adapted and gender-adapted healthcare strategies in humanitarian settings. METHODS: This multicountry study includes adults who were admitted at Médecins Sans Frontières-supported inpatient dep…

  • Mental health of older adults in humanitarian settings in low- and middle-income countries

    Open AccessElburg Van Boetzelaer, Patrick Keating et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    BACKGROUND: More complex humanitarian emergencies have a profound impact on a rapidly growing ageing population. There are few data available on the mental health conditions of older people in humanitarian settings. This study describes mental health symptoms among older adults to inform the development of age-adapted and gender-adapted mental health services in humanitarian contexts. METHODS: This multicountry study includes data from adults age…

  • Differences in mental health between younger and older adults in complex humanitarian settings in low-income and middle-income countries

    Open AccessElburg Van Boetzelaer, Raghda Sleit et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    BACKGROUND: Humanitarian emergencies increase the risk of development or exacerbation of mental health conditions. This study documents how mental health differs between younger and older adults to inform adapted mental health services in humanitarian settings. METHODS: This multicountry study includes adults who accessed Médecins Sans Frontières-supported mental health services in humanitarian settings across 20 low-income and middle-income coun…

  • A Public health wound

    Open AccessGrazia Caleo, Sohana Sadique et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    Findings suggest that children face hazardous realities; engaged in the worst form of labour, bearing important morbidity and injury burden, with vulnerabilities varying by sex and age. Despite their economic contributions to the informal sector, they remain largely invisible and exploited. This study highlights the urgent need for child rights-based research and cross-sectoral approaches that actively involve children to develop sustainable, tar…

  • Inequitable morbidity and injuries burden among informal sector workers in an urban area in Dhaka

    Open AccessGrazia Caleo, Sohana Sadique et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    In Bangladesh, 85% of the workforce is employed in the informal sector, characterised by unsafe working conditions, low wages, and a lack of social and labour protections. Evidence on the health and occupational injuries faced by informal sector workers is limited. This study assessed the health status of informal sector workers in Dhaka’s Kamrangirchar area, where Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has provided occupational health (OH) services and …

  • Methodological issues of retrospective surveys for measuring mortality of highly clustered diseases

    Open AccessGrazia Caleo, Kamalini Lokuge et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2024

    BACKGROUND: There is a lack of empirical data on design effects (DEFF) for mortality rate for highly clustered data such as with Ebola virus disease (EVD), along with a lack of documentation of methodological limitations and operational utility of mortality estimated from cluster-sampled studies when the DEFF is high. OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this paper are to report EVD mortality rate and DEFF estimates, and discuss the methodological limit…

  • Strengthening community-based surveillance

    Open AccessJennifer OKeeffe, Emi Takahashi et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2023

    CBS demonstrated the capacity of community networks to improve early disease detection and expand access to healthcare. Early and consistent community involvement proved vital to CBS, as measured by system performance, local acceptance of EVD activities, and health service provision. The CBS system had high reporting rates, number of alerts signaled, proportion of alerts investigated, and proportion of community referrals that arrived for care. T…

  • Maternal health after Ebola

    Open AccessJames W T Elston, James Elston et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2019References: 32

    Sierra Leone has the world’s highest estimated maternal mortality. Following the 2014–16 Ebola outbreak, we described health outcomes and health-seeking behaviour amongst pregnant women to inform health policy. In October 2016–January 2017, we conducted a sequential mixed-methods study in urban and rural areas of Tonkolili District comprising: household survey targeting women who had given birth since onset of the Ebola outbreak; structured inter…

  • The factors affecting household transmission dynamics and community compliance with Ebola control measures

    Open AccessGrazia Caleo, Jennifer Duncombe et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    Transmission occurred primarily in a few large households, with prolonged transmission and a high death toll. Return of a survivor to the village and more effective implementation of control strategies coincided with increased compliance to control measures, with few subsequent cases. We propose key recommendations for management of EVD outbreaks based on this experience
