  • Identifying emerging hot spots of road traffic injury severity using spatiotemporal methods

    Open AccessAldina Mešić, James Damsere-Derry et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    A few key road sections, particularly in rural areas, show elevated levels of road traffic injury severity, warranting targeted interventions. Our method for evaluating spatiotemporal trends in MVC, road traffic injuries, and deaths in a LMIC includes sufficient detail for replication and adaptation in other countries, which is useful for targeting countermeasures and tracking progress

  • Determinants of motorcycle helmet availability and cost in retail outlets

    Open AccessBenjamin Noble Adjei, Emmanuel Kweku Nakua et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    Motorcycle helmets were available in some retail outlets in northern Ghana. Efforts to improve helmet availability should address outlets in which they are less commonly sold, including street vendors, motorcycle repair shops, outlets run by Ghanaians, and outlets outside the Central Business District

  • The prevalence and correlates of depression among older adults in greater Kumasi of the Ashanti region

    Open AccessEmmanuel Kweku Nakua, John Amissah et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    The study provides data that can inform policy decisions on the care of the elderly with depression in Ghana and other similar countries, confirming the need to provide support efforts towards high-risk groups such as single people, people with chronic health conditions, and lower-income people. Additionally, the evidence provided in this study could serve as baseline data for larger and longitudinal studies

  • Predictors of Seat-Belt Use among Bus Passengers in Ghana

    Open AccessPaul Okyere, Peter Agyei-Baffour et al.ARTICLEJournal of Community Health2021

  • Tracking global development assistance for trauma care

    Open AccessSara Hollis, Sara M Hollis et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2021

    BACKGROUND: This study aimed to track development assistance for trauma care (DAH-TC), uncover funding trends and gaps, and compare DAH-TC to development assistance for other health conditions. METHODS: A systematic search of the OECD Creditor Reporting System (CRS) and Development Assistance Committee (DAC) databases was performed to capture projects related to trauma care. Reports from large foundations and public-private partnerships were also…

  • On-site personal protective equipment signage and use by road construction workers in Ghana

    Open AccessIsaac Kofi Yankson, Nana Kwame Nsiah-Achampong et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    Majority of workers used shoes. Less than half of workers used other types of PPE and use of some types (goggles and hearing protection) was minimal. Workers in foreign-owned companies were significantly more likely to use all the seven types of PPE than locally-owned companies. Although there is still room for improvement in foreign-owned companies, locally-owned companies should be able to attain similar PPE use to that in foreign-owned compani…

  • Injury rate and risk factors among small-scale gold miners in Ghana

    Open AccessEmmanuel Kweku Nakua, Ellis Owusu-Dabo et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2019

    The annual injury incidence rate among small-scale gold miners is high. Potential targets for improving safety include increasing safety training, increasing use of personal protective equipment, and better understanding potential changes that can be made in the machinery and tools used in small-scale mining, which were associated with almost half of all injuries

  • Use of Support Services and Help-Seeking Behaviors Among Abused Ghanaian Women with Disabilities

  • The global burden of injury

    Open AccessJuanita A Haagsma, N Graetz et al.ARTICLEInjury Prevention2016

    BACKGROUND: The Global Burden of Diseases (GBD), Injuries, and Risk Factors study used the disability-adjusted life year (DALY) to quantify the burden of diseases, injuries, and risk factors. This paper provides an overview of injury estimates from the 2013 update of GBD, with detailed information on incidence, mortality, DALYs and rates of change from 1990 to 2013 for 26 causes of injury, globally, by region and by country. METHODS: Injury morta…

  • The need for ventilators in the developing world

    Open AccessVijay Krishnamoorthy, Monica S Vavilala et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2014

    he drive to breathe is a fundamental human and biologic behavior, regulated by a complex system of checks and balances in the body. When respiratory mechanics are deregulated by injury, infection, coma, or a host of other conditions, the biologic equilibrium shifts into a state of respiratory failure. When this occurs, mechanical ventilation can be a life saving therapy. While commonplace in developed countries, critical care is at its infancy in…

  • Disability-adjusted life years (Dalys) for 291 diseases and injuries in 21 regions, 1990–2010

    Open AccessChristopher J L Murray, Theo Vos et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2012

  • Global and regional mortality from 235 causes of death for 20 age groups in 1990 and 2010

  • Evaluating trauma care capabilities in Mexico with the World Health Organization's Guidelines for Essential Trauma Care publication

    Open AccessCarlos Arreola-Risa, Carlos Arreola‐Risa et al.ARTICLERevista Panamericana de Salud…2006

    This study identified several low-cost ways to strengthen trauma care in Mexico. The study also highlighted the usefulness of the recommended norms in the Guidelines for Essential Trauma Care publication in providing a standardized template by which to assess trauma care capabilities in nations worldwide

  • Admissions for injury at a rural hospital in Ghana

    C N Mock, Charles Mock et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health1995Citada por: 4Referências: 14

    OBJECTIVES. Strategies for injury prevention have been extensively studied in developed nations but not in the developing world. This study sought to determine which mechanisms of injury were common in a rural developing area and which were important contributors to mortality and disability. METHODS. All 614 patients admitted for injuries to a rural African hospital between 1987 and 1991 were analyzed retrospectively for mechanism of injury and o…
