  • The interplay of HIV, female sexual dysfunction and quality of life among women in North-western Nigeria

    Fatima M Damagum, Rabiu Ibrahim Jalo et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2026

    Background: Antiretroviral therapy has markedly increased life expectancy among people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), yet the long-term impact of chronic HIV infection on women’s quality of life (QoL) and sexual functioning remains poorly understood. Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is common in women and may impair psychological well-being and social relationships. Understanding how HIV infection intersects with FSD and QoL could…

  • Can trust in healthcare be restored after armed violence? Evidence from a randomized field experiment in north-eastern Nigeria

    Open AccessMelissa Schaub, Liliana Abreu et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2026

    Armed violence undermines public health not only by destroying infrastructure but also by eroding trust in government institutions, including the health system. Prior research shows that victimized individuals often withdraw from public services, with particularly adverse consequences for child health. Yet it remains unclear whether such distrust can be restored. We address this question in northeastern Nigeria, a region heavily affected by armed…

  • Caregivers ́ qualitative insights on trust, resilience and vaccination attitudes shaping child health in conflict-affected Northeast Nigeria

    Open AccessLiliana Abreu, Pia Schrage et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2026

    Efforts to improve maternal and child health in conflict-affected regions must prioritise trust-building, strengthening the health system in a culturally sensitive way and implementing targeted communication strategies. Leveraging community engagement and resilience is essential to reducing barriers to care and address vaccine hesitancy in fragile contexts

  • Maternal and child healthcare-seeking among victims of violence in armed conflict

    Open AccessMelissa Schaub, Gbadebo Collins Adeyanju et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    INTRODUCTION: Armed conflict severely impacts health, with indirect deaths often exceeding direct casualties two to four times, disproportionately affecting women and children. Although the magnitude of these effects is well-documented, the mechanisms driving them remain insufficiently understood. This study shifts the focus from supply-side factors, such as the destruction of infrastructure, to demand-side processes, particularly healthcare-seek…

  • Informal health sector and routine immunization

    Open AccessAbdu A Adamu, Rabiu Ibrahim Jalo et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    The COVID-19 pandemic caused a surge in the number of unimmunized and under-immunized children in Africa. The majority of unimmunized (or zero-dose) children live in hard-to-reach rural areas, urban slums, and communities affected by conflict where health facilities are usually unavailable or difficult to access. In these settings, people mostly rely on the informal health sector for essential health services. Therefore, to reduce zero-dose child…

  • Treatment seeking behaviour and associated factors among adults with high blood pressure from three selected states in Nigeria

    Open AccessEniola Bamgboye, Abiola Ayoyemi et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Management of hypertension is challenging in multi-cultural and multi-ethnic sub-Saharan African countries like Nigeria. This diversity calls for multi-dimensional interventional approaches for hypertension control. This study assessed the treatment seeking behaviour and associated factors among adults with high blood pressure from three ethnic groups in Nigeria. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 762 adults with high blood pressure from…

  • Factors influencing non-prescription sales of antibiotics among patent and proprietary medicine vendors in Kano, Nigeria

    Open AccessAbdu A Adamu, Muktar A Gadanya et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2020References: 34

    Patent and proprietary medicine vendors (PPMVs) increase access to antibiotics through non-prescription sales in their drug retail outlets. This fosters irrational antibiotic use among people, thus contributing to the growing burden of resistance. Although training programmes on antibiotic use and resistance exist, they have disproportionately targeted health workers in hospital settings. It’s unclear if there is a relationship between such train…
