Effectiveness of antenatal care delivery of intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine in the context of an integrated strategy with seasonal malaria chemoprevention…
BACKGROUND: To improve uptake of intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (IPTp-SP), a cluster-randomised implementation trial of 'integrated IPTp-SP delivery' through seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) alongside antenatal care (ANC) was conducted in Mali and Burkina Faso. This nested study assessed ANC provider acceptability and feasibility of the integrated strategy and whether the training they received…
Development of Context-Appropriate Recruitment and Retention Approaches for Pregnant Women in the Safire Clinical Trial Assessing Safety and Efficacy of Artemisinin-Combination Therapies
Pregnant women, particularly those in the first trimester, have been historically excluded from clinical trials, resulting in substantial evidence gaps for the prevention and treatment of malaria in early pregnancy. Despite increasing calls from global health and regulatory bodies to include pregnant women in research, ethical, socio-cultural, and contextual challenges continue to impede their meaningful participation. Formative research is essen…
Determinants of Sars-CoV-2 infection across three sentinels sites in Benin during 2021
In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, Benin, like other regions in sub-Saharan Africa and around the world, has been grappling with a public health crisis since march 2020. The country responded to this crisis by implementing adaptive response measures. The STREESCO project is part of this dynamic effort, strengthening epidemiological surveillance at three sentinel sites. This study thoroughly examines the determinants of SARS-CoV-2 infection.…
Understanding the vaccine hesitancy of Covid-19 in Benin
Vaccination campaigns against COVID-19 have been set up in all countries. The aim was to reach a sufficient vaccination threshold to ensure herd immunity. In Benin, the objective was to achieve 60% coverage. However, coverage was only 35% in May 2022. People were reluctant to be vaccinated. We had set up a population-based study to investigate these barriers to vaccination. Our approach was qualitative (80 semi-structured interviews with vaccinat…
Policy uptake and implementation of the RTS,S/AS01 malaria vaccine in sub-Saharan African countries
In October 2021, the WHO recommended the world’s first malaria vaccine—RTS,S/AS01—to prevent malaria in children living in areas with moderate-to-high transmission in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). A second malaria vaccine, R21/Matrix-M, was recommended for use in October 2023 and added to the WHO list of prequalified vaccines in December 2023. This study analysis assessed the country status of implementation and delivery strategies for RTS,S/AS01 by …
Sars-CoV-2 seroprevalence among Beninese pregnant women in the third year of the pandemic
NCT06170320 (retrospectively registered on December 21, 2023)
The Impact of Maternal Depression and Parent–Child Interactions on Risk of Parasitic Infections in Early Childhood
Maternal depressive symptoms are associated with poor parent-child interactions, particularly acceptance of behavior, involvement with children, and variety of interactions, but these exposures do not independently impact risk of parasitic infection in children
Follow-Up of Elevated Blood Lead Levels and Sources in a Cohort of Children in Benin
Lead exposure is associated with poor cognitive development in children. Very few studies in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) have studied blood lead levels (BLLs) and non-gasoline sources of exposure in children. Data from a birth cohort in Benin (2011-2013) suggested that 58% of 1-year-old children had BLLs > 50 ug/L. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of elevated BLLs (>50 μg/L and >100 μg /L) among 425 of these children at 6 years of age in 2016-…
Elevated Blood Lead Levels in Infants and Mothers in Benin and Potential Sources of Exposure
Lead in childhood is well known to be associated with poor neurodevelopment. As part of a study on maternal anemia and offspring neurodevelopment, we analyzed blood lead level (BLL) with no prior knowledge of lead exposure in 225 mothers and 685 offspring 1 to 2 years old from Allada, a semi-rural area in Benin, sub-Saharan Africa, between May 2011 and May 2013. Blood samples were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Environm…
Ethics Committees in Western and Central Africa
The involvement of developing countries in international clinical trials is necessary for the development of appropriate medicines for local populations. However, the absence of appropriate structures for ethical review represents a barrier for certain countries. Currently there is very little information available on existing structures dedicated to ethics in western and central Africa. This article briefly describes historical milestones in the…
