  • Lessons learned from Covid-19 modelling efforts for policy decision-making in lower- and middle-income countries

    Open AccessCollins J Owek, Fatuma Hassan Guleid et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2024

    INTRODUCTION: The COVID-19 pandemic had devastating health and socioeconomic effects, partly due to policy decisions to mitigate them. Little evidence exists of approaches that guided decisions in settings with limited pre-pandemic modelling capacity. We thus sought to identify knowledge translation mechanisms, enabling factors and structures needed to effectively translate modelled evidence into policy decisions. METHODS: We used convergent mixe…

  • Cost-effectiveness of measles and rubella elimination in low-income and middle-income countries

    Open AccessAyala Levin, Ann Levin et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2023

    BACKGROUND: Since 2000, the incidence of measles and rubella has declined as measles-rubella (MR) vaccine coverage increased due to intensified routine immunisation (RI) and supplementary immunisation activities (SIAs). The World Health Assembly commissioned a feasibility assessment of eliminating measles and rubella. The objective of this paper is to present the findings of cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) of ramping up MR vaccination with a go…

  • Thresholds for decision-making: Informing the cost-effectiveness and affordability of rotavirus vaccines in Malaysia

    Open AccessTharani Loganathan, Chiu‐wan Ng et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2018Cited by: 1References: 45

    Cost-effectiveness thresholds (CETs) based on the Commission on Macroeconomics and Health (CMH) are extensively used in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) lacking locally defined CETs. These thresholds were originally intended for global and regional prioritization, and do not reflect local context or affordability at the national level, so their value for informing resource allocation decisions has been questioned. Using these thresholds, …

  • Cost–effectiveness thresholds: Pros and cons

    Open AccessMelanie Bertram, Jeremy A Lauer et al.ARTICLEBulletin of the World Health…2016

    Cost-effectiveness analysis is used to compare the costs and outcomes of alternative policy options. Each resulting cost-effectiveness ratio represents the magnitude of additional health gained per additional unit of resources spent. Cost-effectiveness thresholds allow cost-effectiveness ratios that represent good or very good value for money to be identified. In 2001, the World Health Organization's Commission on Macroeconomics in Health suggest…

  • Sociocultural determinants of anticipated oral cholera vaccine acceptance in three African settings: A meta-analytic approach

    Open AccessNeisha Sundaram, Christian Schaetti et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    These cholera-endemic African communities are especially interested in no-cost OCVs. Health education and attention to local social and cultural features of cholera and vaccines would likely increase vaccine coverage. High demand and absence of insurmountable sociocultural barriers to vaccination with OCVs indicate potential for mass vaccination in planning for comprehensive control or elimination

  • Stakeholders’ perception on including broader economic impact of vaccines in economic evaluations in low and middle income countries: A mixed methods study

    Open AccessVan Putten, Ingeborg M van der Putten et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    According to participants, BEIVs were seen as being equally important as traditional outcome measures used in cost-effectiveness analyses. Such insight can be used to shape research agendas within this field and to eventually create broader, more inclusive practical guidelines for economic evaluations of vaccines

  • Distinguishing social and cultural features of cholera in urban and rural areas of Western Kenya: Implications for public health

    Open AccessErick Otieno Nyambedha, Neisha Sundaram et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2013

    Urban and rural areas have distinctive health problems, which require consideration. To examine sociocultural features of cholera and its community context, a semi-structured explanatory model interview based on vignettes depicting typical clinical features of cholera was used to interview 379 urban and rural respondents in Western Kenya. Findings included common and distinctive urban and rural ideas about cholera, and its prevention and treatmen…

  • Local perceptions of cholera and anticipated vaccine acceptance in Katanga province, Democratic Republic of Congo

    Open AccessSonja Merten, Christian Schaetti et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2013

    Results suggest a high motivation to use an OCV as long as it seems affordable. The needs of socially marginalized groups such as fishermen may have to be explicitly addressed when preparing for a mass vaccination campaign

  • Oral cholera vaccine use in Zanzibar: Socioeconomic and behavioural features affecting demand and acceptance

    Open AccessChristian Schaetti, Raymond Hutubessy et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2009

    The study presented here is designed to inform about people's perceptions regarding cholera and about socioeconomic and behavioural factors determining anticipated and actual oral cholera vaccine acceptance in Zanzibar. Its pre- and post-intervention design using a mixed-methods approach on different stakeholder levels in communities at high risk of cholera outbreaks will ensure the collection of locally valid data relevant for public health acti…
