Incidence of unintended pregnancies and pregnancy experience among adolescents living with perinatally-acquired HIV in West Africa
Registered with the Pan African Clinical Trials Registry on 13 February 2024 (reference no. PACTR202402863175053)
Current knowledge of human Mpox viral infection among healthcare workers in Cameroon calls for capacity-strengthening for pandemic preparedness
Introduction: An increased incidence of human Monkeypox (Mpox) cases was recently observed worldwide, including in Cameroon. To ensure efficient preparedness and interventions in the health system, we sought to assess the knowledge of Mpox's transmission, prevention, and response among healthcare workers (HCWs) in Cameroon. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted among HCWs in Cameroon using 21-item questions adapted from the Unite…
Cost-effectiveness of integrating paediatric tuberculosis services into child healthcare services in Africa
BACKGROUND: In 2021, over one million children developed tuberculosis, resulting in 214 000 deaths, largely due to inadequate diagnosis and treatment. The diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis is limited in most high-burden countries because services are highly centralised at secondary/tertiary levels and are managed in a vertical, non-integrated way. To improve case detection and treatment among children, the World Health Organisation (WHO) re…
Effect of integrating paediatric tuberculosis services into child healthcare services on case detection in Africa
INTRODUCTION: Paediatric tuberculosis (TB) underdiagnosis is a critical concern. The INPUT stepped-wedge cluster-randomised trial assessed the impact of integrating child TB services into child healthcare on TB case detection among children under age 5 years. METHODS: We compared the standard of care, providing TB care in specific TB clinics (control phase), with the Catalysing Paediatric TB Innovations (CaP-TB) intervention, integrating TB servi…
Improving TB detection among children in routine clinical care through intensified case finding in facility-based child health entry points and decentralized management
In 2022, an estimated 1.25 million children 50% remained undiagnosed or unreported. WHO recently recommended integrated and decentralized models of care as an approach to improve access to TB services for children, but evidence remains limited. The Catalyzing Paediatric TB Innovation project (CaP-TB) implemented a multi-pronged intervention to improve TB case finding in children in nine sub-Saharan African countries. The intervention introduced s…
Changing attitudes towards HIV testing and treatment among three generations of men in Cameroon
The study highlights important considerations when planning future information-sharing activities for HIV testing and treatment. Since lived experiences differ across generations and societal roles continue to change, not only should the content of messages differ among the generations, but the means of communication must also be considered to ensure the messages are conveyed through a trusted source
