From continental strategy to country implementation
BACKGROUND: The Africa Health Security and Sovereignty (AHSS) Agenda of the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) provides a continental framework for strengthening health security and sovereignty. As implementation begins, no document-based readiness assessment instrument exists to monitor progress against AHSS pillars and goals, limiting efforts to identify bottlenecks and target assistance. OBJECTIVE(S): To develop and…
Sex disparities in current cigarette smoking prevalence among individuals aged 15 years and older in 39 African countries
BACKGROUND: Cigarette smoking remains a major preventable cause of disease and mortality. Comparable sex-disaggregated estimates are needed to describe smoking patterns across African countries and support tobacco control planning. OBJECTIVE: To provide a multi-country descriptive summary of the current prevalence of cigarette smoking disaggregated by sex among people aged ≥ 15 years in 39 African countries. METHODS: This cross-sectional descript…
Trends and equity in mental disorder prevalence in Sierra Leone
Purpose This study aims to analyze age-standardized prevalence of mental disorders in Sierra Leone from 2000 to 2019, examining sex inequalities. Design/methodology/approach This study provides a novel examination of sex-based disparities in mental disorder prevalence in Sierra Leone over a 19-year period, contributing to the limited body of research on mental health equity in low-resource settings. By leveraging WHO’s Health Equity Assessment To…
Machine learning prediction of gender-based violence among women in Somalia
Gender-based violence (GBV) remains a major public health challenge in Somalia, yet evidence on predictive risk stratification using interpretable machine learning is limited. This study compared multiple machine learning classifiers to predict GBV among Somali women and used SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) to improve the transparency of model interpretation. We conducted a cross-sectional predictive analysis using the nationally representat…
Rural-urban disparities in population practising open defecation across 47 African countries
Access to safe sanitation is a human right, yet millions in Africa practice open defecation, risking disease and environmental harm. Despite global efforts, rural-urban disparities remain, especially in low-income countries. This study examines these disparities to inform policies for equitable sanitation access. To assess rural-urban disparities in open defecation across 47 African countries using WHO and HEAT data, identifying patterns for equi…
Somalia’s healthcare tax waiver
A lifesaving milestone
Ethics in medicine
Smoke exposure risk among Somali households
Most Somali households face high SER, shaped by household size, wealth, media access, and geography. Clean cooking programs should focus on high-density homes, promote awareness through media, and tailor approaches to local contexts. Expanding access to clean fuels and improving ventilation can reduce household air pollution in Somalia
Social Engineering as an Intermediate Variable between Methods of Persuasion and Electronic Deception from the Point of View of Victims of Cybercrime
The study aimed to reveal the role of social engineering as a mediating variable between methods of persuasion and electronic deception from the point of view of victims of cybercrime. The sample consisted of (164) male and female students who were victims of cybercrime in one of the university colleges in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, who were selected by a simple random sample method. The study used the social engineering scale (AbdelTawab, 2021…
