Changes in caregiver psychosocial factors known to affect pediatric HIV disclosure
This comparative study analyzed changes in caregiver-related factors known to influence pediatric HIV disclosure using baseline data from two clinical trials in Ghana – Sankofa 1 (recruitment 2013–2016) and Sankofa 2 (recruitment 2021-2023). Changes in caregiver characteristics and psychosocial domains were measured using validated instruments: social support (Social Provisions Scale), HIV knowledge (Brief HIV Knowledge Questionnaire), illness pe…
Paediatric haematology/oncology workforce and training programmes for Africa
Graduate medical education programmes in paediatric haematology/oncology (PHO) are necessary to train specialists to provide high-quality care for children and adolescents with cancer and haematologic diseases. In this study, we used the Education Program Assessment Tool (EPAT). The study consisted of three components: (1) mapping the PHO workforce and training programmes in Africa; (2) using the EPAT to evaluate the current PHO programmes in Afr…
Incidence of unintended pregnancies and pregnancy experience among adolescents living with perinatally-acquired HIV in West Africa

Health system determinants of access to essential medicines for children with cancer in Ghana
BACKGROUND: Evidence of the context-specific challenges related to childhood cancer drug (CCD) access is vital to improving outcomes for children with cancer in low- and middle-income countries, such as Ghana. We sought to determine the availability and cost of essential CCD in Ghana and identify the underlying determinants of access. METHODS: Our study integrated quantitative data on drug prices and availability with qualitative insights into he…
Illness Narratives of Children Living with HIV Who Do Not Know Their HIV Status in Ghana
High prevalence of non-adherence to antiretroviral therapy among undisclosed HIV-infected children in Ghana
Adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) remains one of the greatest obstacles in pediatric HIV care. We sought to determine the prevalence of adherence to ART among undisclosed HIV-infected children and adolescents in Ghana. We analyzed baseline data from HIV-infected children and adolescents aged 7-18 years old enrolled in the SANKOFA Pediatric HIV disclosure intervention study in Ghana. Antiretroviral medication adherence was measured using c…
Prevalence and correlates of depression among caregivers of children living with HIV in Ghana
Prior studies show an association between caregiver depression and child health outcomes. There has been little examination of depression among caregivers of HIV-infected children in sub-Saharan countries where pediatric HIV is concentrated. Using baseline data collected in the pediatric HIV disclosure intervention trial, Sankofa, we examined the prevalence and factors associated with depression among caregivers (N = 446) of children infected wit…
HIV knowledge, stigma, and illness beliefs among pediatric caregivers in Ghana who have not disclosed their child's HIV status
The majority of HIV-infected children in sub-Saharan Africa have not been informed of their HIV status. Caregivers are reluctant to disclose HIV status to their children because of concern about the child's ability to understand, parental sense of guilt, and fear of social rejection and isolation. We hypothesized that the low prevalence of pediatric HIV disclosure in Ghana is due to lack of accurate HIV information and high HIV stigma among careg…
Sankofa pediatric HIV disclosure intervention cyber data management
Prevalence of pediatric HIV disclosure is low in resource-limited settings. Innovative, culturally sensitive, and patient-centered disclosure approaches are needed. Conducting such studies in resource-limited settings is not trivial considering the challenges of capturing, cleaning, and storing clinical research data. To overcome some of these challenges, the Sankofa pediatric disclosure intervention adopted an interactive cyber infrastructure fo…
