  • Comparing and integrating human mobility data sources for measles transmission modeling in Zambia

    Open AccessNatalya Kostandova, Christine Prosperi et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Quantifying population mobility is crucial in developing accurate models of infectious disease dynamics. Increasingly, multiple data sources are available to describe individual and population mobility in a single location; however, there are no methods to systematically integrate these data. Combining information from these data sets may be valuable and help mitigate inherent biases in each data set due to sampling, censoring, and recall. We exa…

  • High measles and rubella vaccine coverage and seroprevalence among Zambian children participating in a measles and rubella supplementary immunization activity

    Open AccessChristine Prosperi, Shaun Truelove et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Post-campaign coverage surveys estimate the proportion of previously unvaccinated children vaccinated during supplementary immunization activities (SIA) but cannot address whether susceptible children seronegative to measles and rubella viruses were vaccinated during the SIA. We conducted a cross-sectional serosurvey nested within the November 2020 measles-rubella SIA in Zambia, systematically sampling children aged 9 months to 5 years at 30 SIA …

  • Feasibility and acceptability of collecting dried blood spots (DBS) from children after vaccination during supplementary immunization activities to estimate measles and rubella seroprevalence

    Open AccessAndrea C Carcelen, Christine Prosperi et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Nested serosurveys within routine service delivery platforms such as planned supplemental immunization activities (SIAs) provide an opportunity to collect information that can be used to answer valuable questions on the effectiveness and efficiency of the delivery model to inform future activities. However, integrating research data collection in SIAs is rarely done due to concerns it will negatively impact the program. We conducted a serosurvey …

  • Who is missed in a community-based survey

    Open AccessNatalya Kostandova, Simon Mutembo et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Community-based serological studies are increasingly relied upon to measure disease burden, identify population immunity gaps, and guide control and elimination strategies; however, there is little understanding of the potential for and impact of sampling biases on outcomes of interest. As part of efforts to quantify measles immunity gaps in Zambia, a community-based serological survey using stratified multi-stage cluster sampling approach was co…

  • An evaluation of the early impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on Zambia’s routine immunization program

    Open AccessAmy K Winter, Saki Takahashi et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Implications of the COVID-19 pandemic for both populations and healthcare systems are vast. In addition to morbidity and mortality from COVID-19, the pandemic also disrupted local health systems, including reductions or delays in routine vaccination services and catch-up vaccination campaigns. These disruptions could lead to outbreaks of other infectious diseases that result in an additional burden of disease and strain on the healthcare system. …

  • Study Protocol

    Open AccessChristopher D Golden, Benjamin L Rice et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2020

    Madagascar has experienced significant environmental change since 1960, particularly through forest clearing for agricultural expansion. Climatic patterns are undergoing change in Madagascar as well, with increasing temperatures, droughts, and cyclonic activity. The impact of these environmental and climatic changes will pose threats to food availability, income generation, and local ecosystems, with significant potential effects on the spatial a…

  • Domestic Violence and Abortion Among Rural Women in Four Indian States

    Open AccessRob Stephenson, Apoorva Jadhav et al.ARTICLEViolence Against Women2016Cited by: 3References: 1

    The prevalence of domestic violence and abortion in India is high, yet little is known about the relationship between these experiences. Data from two linked data sets, India's 1998-1999 National Family Health Survey (NFHS-2) and a follow-up survey in 2002-2003, were analyzed. The analysis examines how the experience of physical violence affects the subsequent uptake of abortion, and how the experience of abortion affects subsequent experience of…

  • Community environments shaping transactional sex among sexually active men in Malawi, Nigeria, and Tanzania

    Rob Stephenson, Amy K Winter et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2013

    Transactional sex, or the exchange of sex for material goods or money, is a risky sexual behavior that has been linked to HIV/AIDS and gender-based violence. Throughout sub-Saharan Africa, transactional sex remains a common practice, putting men and women at risk of HIV. However, little is known of how community environments shape men's participation in risky transactional sex. This analysis examines community-level influences on participation in…

  • Frequency of Intimate Partner Violence and Rural Women’s Mental Health in Four Indian States

    Open AccessRob Stephenson, Amy K Winter et al.ARTICLEViolence Against Women2013Cited by: 2References: 8

    This study examines the association between self-reported frequency of verbal, physical, and sexual intimate partner violence (IPV) and mental health among 6,303 rural married women (age 15-49), in four Indian states: Bihar, Jharkhand, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu. Data are taken from the 2002-2003 National Family Health Survey-2 Follow-Up Survey. The results indicate that experiencing physical, verbal, or sexual IPV is associated with an increase…
