Protocol for a community-engaged mixed-methods study for climate-related disaster preparedness and health care resilience in North Carolina
Background: Climate change-induced disasters pose an enormous risk to human health. With the risk of climate change disasters at an all-time high, it is imperative to strengthen the resilience of health and community systems. Working with community collaborators who provide services across the spectrum of the disaster cycle will make disaster preparedness plans context-specific, sustainable, and accepted by the community. Using evidence-based Imp…
From research to practice
Despite the life-saving potential of mental health interventions, their scalability and integration within healthcare systems present significant challenges, particularly in low-resource global settings. This study investigated scaling IDEAS for Hope, a telehealth counseling intervention designed to reduce suicide risk and improve HIV care engagement among people living with HIV in Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, and identified actionable implementation s…
Using the Adapt guidance to culturally adapt a brief intervention to reduce alcohol use among injury patients in Tanzania
Harmful alcohol use is a leading risk factor for injury-related death and disability in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Brief negotiational interventions (BNIs) in emergency departments (EDs) effectively reduce alcohol intake and re-injury rates. However, most BNIs are developed in high-income countries, with limited evidence of their effectiveness in LMICs. To address this gap, we culturally adapted a BNI for alcohol-related injury pat…
“It’s his cheerfulness that gives me hope”
Pediatric cancer is a significant and growing burden in low- and middle-income countries. The objective of this project was to describe the factors influencing access to pediatric cancer care in Northern Tanzania using the Three Delays Model. This was a cross-sectional qualitative study conducted between June and August 2023 at Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre (KCMC). Using purposive sampling methods, caregivers of children obtaining pediatri…
Sex differences in alcohol use patterns and related harms
In northern Tanzania, alcohol use disorders (AUD) are under-diagnosed and under-treated, and current services are mostly limited to men in clinical settings despite significant alcohol-related harm in the community. The study objective was to identify sex differences in alcohol use and alcohol-related harms within and across community and clinical settings. This was a congruent triangulation mixed methods study consisting of focus group discussio…
Development of culturally-appropriate text message booster content to follow a brief intervention focused on reducing alcohol related harms for injury patients in Moshi, Tanzania
Alcohol use is a risk factor for death and disability and is attributed to almost one-third of injury deaths globally. This highlights the need for interventions aimed at alcohol reduction, especially in areas with high rates of injury with concurrent alcohol use, such as Tanzania. The aim of this study is to create a culturally appropriate text messages as a booster to a brief negotiational intervention (BNI), to in the Emergency Department of t…
Barriers to accessing follow up care in post-hospitalized trauma patients in Moshi, Tanzania
Disproportionately high injury rates in Sub-Saharan Africa combined with limited access to care in both the acute injury phase and for injury patients requiring continued care after hospital discharge remains a challenge. We aimed to characterize barriers to transportation and access to care in a cohort of post-hospitalized injury patients in Moshi, Tanzania. This was a mixed-methods study of a prospective cohort of trauma registry patients prese…
Exploring the intersection of critical disability studies, humanities and global health through a case study of scarf injuries in Bangladesh
This article puts critical disability studies and global health into conversation around the phenomenon of scarf injury in Bangladesh. Scarf injury occurs when a woman wearing a long, traditional scarf called an orna rides in a recently introduced autorickshaw with a design flaw that allows the orna to become entangled in the vehicle's driveshaft. Caught in the engine, the orna pulls the woman's neck into hyperextension, causing a debilitating hi…
Contextualizing the Impact of Snakebite Envenoming on Patients
To categorize the Patient-specific Functional Scale (PSFS) activities in snakebite envenoming (SBE) using the International Classification of Function (ICF) model in order to describe the impact of SBE on patients' activities and daily lives and to develop a theoretical SBE model of functioning, we performed a post-hoc analysis of two multi-center, prospective studies, conducted at 14 clinical sites in the United States with consecutive SBE patie…
