Integrating Mental Health Services into Primary Care Settings
Some experiences of integrating mental health into primary care settings, testing the feasibility of the World Health Organization's mental health Gap Action Programme, have been launched in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to address treatment gaps. However, they have not yet been documented to look at scaling up. This study described the health outcomes and lessons learned from two of these experiences. A multiple case study was conducted o…
Incidence of possible serious bacterial infection in young infants in the three high-burden countries of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, and Nigeria
Background: Neonatal infections are a major public health concern worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, where most of the infection-related deaths in under-five children occur. Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest mortality rates, but there is a lack of data on the incidence of sepsis from this region, hindering efforts to improve child survival. We aimed to determine the incidence of possible serious bacterial infection (PSB…
How Does the Context Shape the Technical Support from the Provincial Health Administration to District Health Management Teams in the Democratic Republic of Congo? A Realist Evaluation
Since 2014, the health sector in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has been undergoing reforms aimed at strengthening the Provincial Health Administration (PHA) to better support health district development through technical support to district health management teams (DHMTs). However, there is limited understanding of how, for whom, and under what conditions this support works. Using a realist evaluation approach, this study aimed to test an …
Wording the trajectory of the three-year Covid-19 epidemic in a general population – Belgium
The trajectory of COVID-19 epidemic waves in the general population of Belgium was analysed by defining quantitative criteria for epidemic waves from March 2020 to early 2023. Peaks and starting/ending times characterised nine waves numerated I to IX based on the daily reported incidence number (symbol INCID) and three "endemic" interval periods between the first four waves. The SIR compartmental model was applied to the first epidemic wave by fi…
Social and clinical risk factors associated with hospitalized Covid-19 patients in Brussels’s deprived and multiethnic areas
Background In Belgium, the Brussels-Capital region was severely affected by the COVID-19 epidemic. Various hypotheses were mentioned in order to explain Brussels’ excess disease spreading and mortality rate, but socioeconomic risk factors are increasingly recognized. This study’s objective was to analyze clinical and social profiles of patients hospitalized for COVID-19, by nationality groups, in two hospitals located in Brussels’s deprived and m…
Seroprevalence of anti-Sars-CoV-2 antibodies among blood donors from December 2020 to June 2021 in Koutiala district, Mali
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the virus associated with coronavirus disease (COVID-19). At the time of the study, little data on the level of exposure of the population in Koutiala district in Mali to SARS-CoV-2 was available. Although blood donors are not representative of the general population, a COVID-19 seroprevalence estimate in this population was intended to assess the extent of community transmission, se…
Participative epidemiology and prevention pathway of health risks associated with artisanal mines in Luhihi area, DR Congo
The results are translated into a grid of powers and interests in relation to the mobilization of resources for the prevention and treatment of health issues. The dialogue for change regarding the ignorance of the actors to exposure to chemical risks such as to exposure mercury, silica, carbon monoxide, and cyanide also entailed the translation of the results. In addition, an analysis of the ability of artisanal mining actors to implement health …
First Report on the Co-Occurrence and Clustering Profiles of Cardiovascular Lifestyle Risk Factors among Adults in Burkina Faso
The co-occurrence of cardiovascular risk factors is usually associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) or cancer. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of the co-occurrence and its determinants and to identify the clustering profiles of lifestyle risk factors among the adult population in Burkina Faso. Among 4692 participants, 4377 adults from the first STEPS survey conducted in Burkina Faso were considered in this analy…
Implementation of a model of awareness-raising for taxi motorcyclists in Benin in relation to helmet use
This model improves the helmet-wearing behaviour of motorbike taxi drivers in the experimental area. It could be adapted and applied to other socio-professional groups and other types of users
Using Latent Class Analysis to Identify Health Lifestyle Profiles and Their Association with Suicidality among Adolescents in Benin
Youth suicidality is considerably prevalent in low- and middle-income countries, including Benin. Factors such as psychosocial distress, socio-environmental factors, and health risk behaviors are associated with suicidality. However, little is known about how these factors co-occur in these countries. An analysis of these factors taken together would help to identify the profiles most at risk and better target prevention policies. Our study aimed…
Implementation of a model of awareness-raising for taxi motorcyclists in Benin in relation to helmet use
This study will assess the contribution of awareness messages to changing the behaviour of motorcycle taxi drivers by determining the specific effect of the intervention
HIV among men who have sex with men in the Caribbean
Objectives. To present the epidemiology, social and cultural factors driving the HIV epidemic among men who have sex with men (MSM) in the Caribbean region and to highlight the regional and national responses, and what remains to be addressed to close the gaps in order to ending AIDS by 2030. Methods. A literature review was performed in the following databases: PubMed and Scopus. Articles published in the past 10 years were selected. The outcome…
Urbanisation and health services
In this article, we present the process leading to the pilot test of a new primary health care services model in Goma (DRC). This new model proposes the introduction of a multidisciplinary team in the urban health centres to offer comprehensive and better-quality patient care. Our contribution highlights the importance of an in-depth analysis of the urban context for the implementation of a new model of care, and the usefulness of a constructive …
