Experiences of gender-based stigma and health care-related outcomes in the African region
Exploring ecosocial contexts of alcohol use and misuse during the Covid-19 pandemic among urban refugee youth in Kampala, Uganda
Urban refugees may be disproportionately affected by socio-environmental stressors that shape alcohol use, and this may have been exacerbated by additional stressors in the COVID-19 pandemic. This multi-method study aimed to understand experiences of, and contextual factors associated with, alcohol use during the pandemic among urban refugee youth in Kampala, Uganda. We conducted a cross-sectional survey ( n = 335), in-depth individual interviews…
HIV Vulnerabilities Associated with Water Insecurity, Food Insecurity, and Other Covid-19 Impacts Among Urban Refugee Youth in Kampala, Uganda
Challenges and strategies in conducting sexual and reproductive health research among Rohingya refugees in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh
Contextual adaptation of research methods and involving community and local key stakeholders in data collection are the key lessons learnt from this study. Another important lesson was researchers' identity and positionality as a member of the host country may create distrust and suspicion among the refugees. The multi-level complexities of humanitarian settings may introduce unforeseen challenges and interrupt research plans at different stages …
Modelling improved efficiency in healthcare referral systems for the urban poor using a geo-referenced health facility data
For both maternal and emergency/critical care services, significant distance reductions can be achieved for public, NGO and private facilities that avert burden on Sylhet City's largest public tertiary hospital. GIS-informed analyses can help strengthen coordination between service providers and contribute to more effective and equitable referral systems in Bangladesh and similar countries
Prevalence and correlates of depressive symptoms in secondary school children in Dhaka city, Bangladesh
Objectives: Depression is a leading contributor to the global burden of disease, and often starts at a young age. Depression in young people can increase the risk of unhealthy lifestyle behaviour and can lead to substantial disability, social problems, poor health, and suicide. Other research has examined depressive symptoms among adult populations in Bangladesh, but little is known about other age groups. The aim of this study was to assess the …
OP54 Exploring Socioeconomic Inequalities in Coronary Heart Disease Prevention
Background Between 2000 and 2007, coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality rates in England plummeted by one third. An important part of this substantial CHD mortality decline was achieved through reductions in major cardiovascular risk factors (primary prevention). However, the relative contributions from medications and from population-wide changes remains unclear, particularly the effects on health inequalities. Methods Using a previously valida…
