  • Embedding rewilding in policy

    Open AccessCharlotte Rachael Hopkins, Esther E Brooker et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2026

    Rewilding initiatives are increasing in number across Europe and the UK in response to a growing awareness of substantial nature depletion, despite a lack of policy, guidance and legislation. Ongoing transformations of UK environmental policies offer a ‘policy window’ in which rewilding could become established as a key strategy for nature recovery. Here, we present the results of discussion sessions held as part of a British Ecological Society P…

  • Biannual Administrations of Azithromycin and the Gastrointestinal Microbiome of Malawian Children

    Open AccessDavid Chaima, Harry Pickering et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    Community-level mass treatment with azithromycin has been associated with a mortality benefit in children. However, antibiotic exposures result in disruption of the gut microbiota and repeated exposures may reduce recovery of the gut flora. We conducted a nested cohort study within the framework of a randomized controlled trial to examine associations between mass drug administration (MDA) with azithromycin and the gut microbiota of rural Malawia…

  • The conjunctival microbiome before and after azithromycin mass drug administration for trachoma control in a cohort of Tanzanian children

    Open AccessHarry Pickering, Athumani M Ramadhani et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    Background Trachoma, caused by ocular infection with Chlamydia trachomatis , is a neglected tropical disease that can lead to blinding pathology. Current trachoma control programmes have successfully used mass drug administration (MDA) with azithromycin to clear C. trachomatis infection and reduce transmission, alongside promoting facial cleanliness for better personal hygiene and environmental improvement. In areas of low-trachoma endemicity, th…

  • Comparison of anthropometric indicators to predict mortality in a population-based prospective study of children under 5 years in Niger

    Open AccessKieran S O’Brien, Abdou Amza et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2020

    Objective: In the present study, we aimed to compare anthropometric indicators as predictors of mortality in a community-based setting. Design: We conducted a population-based longitudinal study nested in a cluster-randomized trial. We assessed weight, height and mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) on children 12 months after the trial began and used the trial’s annual census and monitoring visits to assess mortality over 2 years. Setting: Niger. …

  • Population-based prevalence survey of follicular trachoma and trachomatous trichiasis in the Casamance region of Senegal

    Open AccessEmma M Harding‐Esch, Emma M Harding-Esch et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2017

    With a prevalence <5%, TF does not appear to be a significant public health problem in this region. However, TF monitoring and surveillance at sub-district level will be required to ensure that elimination targets are sustained and that TF does not re-emerge as a public health problem. TT surgery remains the priority for trachoma elimination efforts in the region, with an estimated 1819 TT surgeries to conduct

  • Male circumcision for protection against HIV infection in sub-Saharan Africa

    Open AccessRichard G Wamai, Bonnie J Morris et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2015

    This article responds to a recent 'controversy study' in Global Public Health by de Camargo et al. directed at three randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of male circumcision (MC) for HIV prevention. These trials were conducted in three countries in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and published in 2005 and 2007. The RCTs confirmed observational data that had accumulated over the preceding two decades showing that MC reduces by 60% the risk of HIV infecti…

  • Anthropometric indices of Gambian children after one or three annual rounds of mass drug administration with azithromycin for trachoma control

    Open AccessSarah E Burr, John D Hart et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    Our data do not provide evidence that community MDA with azithromycin improved anthropometric outcomes of children in The Gambia. This may suggest reductions in mortality associated with azithromycin MDA are due to a mechanism other than improved nutritional status

  • Measuring Prevalence and Correlates of Concurrent Sexual Partnerships Among Young Sexually Active Men in Kisumu, Kenya

    Open AccessNelli Westercamp, Christine L Mattson et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2013

  • Circumcision preference among women and uncircumcised men prior to scale-up of male circumcision for HIV prevention in Kisumu, Kenya

    Matthew Westercamp, Kawango Agot et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2012

    Following the endorsement by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) of male circumcision as an additional strategy to HIV prevention, initiatives to introduce safe, voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) services commenced in 2008 in several sub-Saharan African communities. Information regarding perceptions of circumcision as a method of HIV prevention, however, is largely limited to da…

  • Literacy, education and adherence to antiretroviral therapy in The Gambia

    Aseel Hegazi, Robin L Bailey et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2010

    We examined the relationship of patients' literacy and education to antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence in an urban treatment centre in The Gambia. Information on education and literacy systematically collected before ART initiation was compared against selected adherence outcomes. Formally educated patients were significantly more likely to achieve virological suppression at both six and 12 months (87% vs. 67%, OR=3.13, P=0.03; 88% vs. 63%, O…

  • The feasibility and acceptability of male circumcision among men, women, and health providers of the Altagracia Province, Dominican Republic

    Maximo O Brito, Maximiliano Luna et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2010

    BACKGROUND: Male circumcision (MC) is an effective strategy to reduce the risk of HIV acquisition in men. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the feasibility of introducing MC in the Altagracia Province and to qualitatively assess the knowledge and acceptability of MC among men, women, and health providers. METHODS: Two surveys were administered to providers. The first, assessed their experience and knowledge of MC and the second, …

    Open AccessRobert C Bailey, Robin L Bailey et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2007

  • Acceptability of male circumcision for prevention of HIV infection in Zambia

    M D Lukobo, Mainza Lukobo et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2007

    Numerous observational studies and three clinical trials have shown male circumcision (MC) to be partially protective against HIV acquisition in heterosexual men. This has led to consideration of introducing circumcision as an HIV prevention strategy in parts of sub-Saharan Africa. This study assesses the acceptability of male circumcision as an intervention to improve male genital hygiene and reduce sexually transmitted infections, including HIV…

  • Acceptability of Male Circumcision for Prevention of HIV Infection in Malawi

  • Acceptability of male circumcision and predictors of circumcision preference among men and women in Nyanza Province, Kenya

    Christine L Mattson, R C Bailey et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2005

    Numerous epidemiologic studies report significant associations between lack of male circumcision and HIV-1 infection, leading some to suggest that male circumcision be added to the limited armamentarium of HIV prevention strategies in areas where HIV prevalence is high and the mode of transmission is primarily heterosexual. This cross-sectional survey of 107 men and 110 women in Nyanza Province, Kenya, assesses the attitudes, beliefs, and predict…

  • The acceptability of male circumcision to reduce HIV infections in Nyanza Province, Kenya

    R C Bailey, Robin L Bailey et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2002

    Compelling epidemiological evidence showing a significant association between lack of male circumcision and HIV infection has prompted calls for consideration of male circumcision interventions as a strategy for reducing HIV prevalence in highly affected areas where circumcision is little practiced and transmission is predominantly heterosexual. Little is known about whether male circumcision interventions would be acceptable or feasible in tradi…
