Assessing content validity of learner milestones for decolonial global health education: A modified Delphi study
The field of global health is rooted in colonialism, and many global health partnerships perpetuate colonial power dynamics. To change this, knowledge and praxis in decoloniality must become a fundamental part of global health education and practice. Since there are no current tools in global health education specifically focusing on decolonial praxis, we drew on existing literature to develop a tool designed to measure a learner clinician’s prog…
Climate, health, and living condition crises in the expanding informal settlements and slums of South-West Nigeria: A case report of Ogun and Oyo states
The rapid expansion of informal settlements and slums in southwestern Nigeria, particularly along the Lagos-Ogun-Oyo corridor, underscores the critical challenges posed by rapid urbanisation and population growth in this major economic hub of West Africa. This corridor, home to key infrastructure, industries, and economic activities, has seen a significant rise in unplanned communities due to its economic opportunities. In particular, Ogun and Oy…
Global burden and strength of evidence for 88 risk factors in 204 countries and 811 subnational locations, 1990–2021: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021
BACKGROUND: Understanding the health consequences associated with exposure to risk factors is necessary to inform public health policy and practice. To systematically quantify the contributions of risk factor exposures to specific health outcomes, the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021 aims to provide comprehensive estimates of exposure levels, relative health risks, and attributable burden of disease for 88 ri…
Global burden of 288 causes of death and life expectancy decomposition in 204 countries and territories and 811 subnational locations, 1990–2021: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease…
BACKGROUND: Regular, detailed reporting on population health by underlying cause of death is fundamental for public health decision making. Cause-specific estimates of mortality and the subsequent effects on life expectancy worldwide are valuable metrics to gauge progress in reducing mortality rates. These estimates are particularly important following large-scale mortality spikes, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. When systematically analysed, mort…
Global age-sex-specific mortality, life expectancy, and population estimates in 204 countries and territories and 811 subnational locations, 1950–2021, and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic: A compr…
BACKGROUND: Estimates of demographic metrics are crucial to assess levels and trends of population health outcomes. The profound impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on populations worldwide has underscored the need for timely estimates to understand this unprecedented event within the context of long-term population health trends. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021 provides new demographic estimates for 204 cou…
Global incidence, prevalence, years lived with disability (YLDs), disability-adjusted life-years (Dalys), and healthy life expectancy (Hale) for 371 diseases and injuries in 204 countries and territor…
BACKGROUND: Detailed, comprehensive, and timely reporting on population health by underlying causes of disability and premature death is crucial to understanding and responding to complex patterns of disease and injury burden over time and across age groups, sexes, and locations. The availability of disease burden estimates can promote evidence-based interventions that enable public health researchers, policy makers, and other professionals to im…
Global, regional, and national burden of disorders affecting the nervous system, 1990–2021: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021
BACKGROUND: Disorders affecting the nervous system are diverse and include neurodevelopmental disorders, late-life neurodegeneration, and newly emergent conditions, such as cognitive impairment following COVID-19. Previous publications from the Global Burden of Disease, Injuries, and Risk Factor Study estimated the burden of 15 neurological conditions in 2015 and 2016, but these analyses did not include neurodevelopmental disorders, as defined by…
Disability Inclusion in the National Strategic Plan for HIV/Aids: A Review on the National Response of West African Countries
Objectives: Persons with disabilities (PWD) often experience risks associated with HIV/AIDS including unmet needs and overlooked stigmatization. This could be attributed to certain misconceptions such as PWDs are asexual, and cannot enjoy sexual pleasure, among others. Therefore, this paper sought to investigate the extent of disability inclusion in recent National Strategic Plans (NSPs) for HIV/AIDS in West African countries. Methods: This study…
Global, regional, and national burden of diabetes from 1990 to 2021, with projections of prevalence to 2050: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021
BACKGROUND: Diabetes is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide, and affects people regardless of country, age group, or sex. Using the most recent evidentiary and analytical framework from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD), we produced location-specific, age-specific, and sex-specific estimates of diabetes prevalence and burden from 1990 to 2021, the proportion of type 1 and type 2 diabetes…
The approval of the first malaria vaccine: The beginning of the end of the malaria epidemic
In the last 50 years, at least 34 million people have died from malaria, 96% of whom were from Africa [1]. Despite US$401 billion spent on the fight against malaria in the past decade [2] and numerous national malaria programmes and policies implemented, only modest gains have been recorded as malaria continues to drastically impact [...]
Watching my family being killed by terrorists made me really depressed”: Mental health experiences, challenges and needed support of young internally displaced persons in northern Nigeria
Young IDPs had negative experiences that led to symptoms of mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD among others with little or no access to quality mental healthcare. Hence, they require specialized and structured mental health support to lead healthy and productive lives. Policy and programs aimed at increasing access to mental health information and services for forced migrants are recommended
From Africa to the World: Reimagining Africa’s research capacity and culture in the global knowledge economy
The first postwar Romanian trans-African expedition (1970-1971) and Nicolae Ceausescu’s first tour of African countries (1972) were symbolic moments for the local communist regime’s global turn that began at the end of the 1960s. At the same time, these momentous events underlined Romania’s ambivalent and limited global presence in post-colonial world before 1970. The acceleration and expansion of Romania’s relations with developing countries in …
