Development of a new wealth index for Tanzania
INTRODUCTION: The China-UK-Tanzania pilot project of 1,7-malaria reactive community-based testing and response (1,7-mRCTR) approach was implemented in Tanzania between 2015 and 2018. This project targeted villages with the highest malaria incidence to conduct screening and treatment. While socioeconomic factors are known to be strongly associated with malaria burden, their specific impacts on malaria prevention behaviours during the 1,7-mRCTR imp…
Global medium-term research priority setting for seasonal malaria chemoprevention
INTRODUCTION: Seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine and amodiaquine (SPAQ) has been delivered in sub-Saharan Africa since 2014, reaching over 40 million children in 2022. New questions are emerging related to SMC's sustainability, integration with other interventions and introduction to new regions. Meanwhile, new WHO malaria guidelines have substantially increased flexibility for tailoring malaria strategies to lo…
Update on numbers of tobacco-attributable deaths by country in the South-East Asia region
The high annual number of tobacco-attributable deaths in the Region highlights the need for accelerating progress in reducing tobacco use. Implementation of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) and MPOWER policy package needs prioritisation at the country level. Tobacco cessation services, supply-side measures and policies to counter tobacco industry interference should be strengthened. Further work is needed to monitor progress…
Does armed conflict lead to lower prevalence of maternal health-seeking behaviours
BACKGROUND: Women and children bear a substantial burden of morbidity and mortality due to armed conflict. Life-saving maternal and child health (MCH) services are low-quality in most conflict-affected regions. Previous studies on armed conflict and MCH services have been mostly cross-sectional, and a causal relationship between armed conflict and MCH services utilisation cannot be inferred. METHODS: First, we constructed a utility equation for m…
How is nicotine vaping product (e-cigarette) use monitored in primary care electronic health records in the United Kingdom? An exploratory analysis of Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD)
Few patients are being asked about vaping. Most who vape had smoked, and many quit smoking after starting vaping. To enable electronic health records to provide stronger evidence on health effects, we recommend improved completeness, accuracy and consistency
Trends in smokeless tobacco use and attributable mortality and morbidity in the South-East Asia Region
Annual deaths and disease burden attributable to SLT remain high across SEAR and have only declined modestly in recent years. Effective implementation of all WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control measures, addressing both supply-side and demand-side issues, in relation to SLT and areca nut products must be prioritised to ensure reductions in mortality and disease burden are sustained and accelerated
Impact of seasonal malaria chemoprevention on prevalence of malaria infection in malaria indicator surveys in Burkina Faso and Nigeria
BACKGROUND: In 2012, the WHO issued a policy recommendation for the use of seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) to children 3-59 months in areas of highly seasonal malaria transmission. Clinical trials have found SMC to prevent around 75% of clinical malaria. Impact under routine programmatic conditions has been assessed during research studies but there is a need to identify sustainable methods to monitor impact using routinely collected data.…
Paediatric pneumonia research priorities in the context of Covid-19
Background: Pneumonia remains the leading cause of infectious deaths in children under-five globally. We update the research priorities for childhood pneumonia in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and explore whether previous priorities have been addressed. Methods: We conducted an eDelphi study from November 2019 to June 2021. Experts were invited to take part, targeting balance by: gender, profession, and high (HIC) and low- and middle-incom…
Extending seasonal malaria chemoprevention to five cycles
The additional cycle should begin early in the day in order to not coincide with the agricultural activities of community distributors. Continuous sensitisation at community level is critical for the sustainability of SMC and acceptance of an additional cycle, which should actively engage male caregivers. Providing additional support in proportion to the increased workload from a fifth cycle, including timely remuneration, is critical to avoid th…
Fire Incidents in a Mental Health Setting
Comprehensive smokefree policies in health care settings can have a positive impact on patients' smoking behaviour, but implementation is impeded by concern that surreptitious smoking may increase fire incidents. We investigated the incidence of routinely reported fire and false alarm incidents in a large mental health organisation in England over an 81-month period when different elements of a smokefree policy were implemented. We used negative …
An observational study of system-level changes to improve the recording of very brief advice for smoking cessation in an inpatient mental health setting
Financial incentives and the recording of incentivised outcomes, the comprehensive smoke-free policy, and the electronic referral system, were associated with increases in recording individual VBA elements, but other changes to the EHCR were not. System-level changes may facilitate staff recording of VBA provision in mental health settings
The impact of televised tobacco control advertising content on campaign recall
Increased per capita exposure to negative emotive campaigns had a greater effect on campaign recall than positive campaigns, and was positively associated with increased recall even when the exposure had occurred more than three months previously
Effectiveness of tobacco control television advertisements with different types of emotional content on tobacco use in England, 2004–2010
This is the first study to explore the effects of campaigns with different types of emotive content on adult smoking prevalence and consumption. It suggests that both types of campaign (positive and negative) are effective in reducing smoking prevalence, whereas consumption among smokers was only affected by campaigns evoking negative emotions
