Perceptions of preconception health messaging and responsibility
Premised on the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease theory and on the limited effectiveness of antenatal interventions, interventions in the preconception period are being conducted to potentially improve intergenerational health and non-communicable disease burdens. The Healthy Life Trajectories Initiative (HeLTI) is an international health research consortium primarily investigating the intergenerational effects of behavioural intervent…
Acceptability of dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine as malaria intermittent preventive treatment for pregnant women living with HIV in Southern Mozambique
The acceptability of DHA-PPQ among HIVPW appears to be influenced more by trust in healthcare providers rather than by the perceived benefits of the medication itself. Leveraging this trust to enhance awareness and understanding of DHA-PPQ's benefits could further improve its acceptability. Moreover, further implementation research focused on acceptability in a real-world environment is essential to deepen the understanding of DHA-PPQ acceptabili…
Adolescent health and well-being in the context of impact assessment of natural resource extraction projects
Background Natural resource extraction projects (NREPs) might impact the social, economic and health conditions of marginalised and/or vulnerable population groups, such as adolescents. While different types and forms of impact assessments (IAs) have the aspiration to place particular emphasis on potential project-related effects in vulnerable and/or marginalised groups, it remains unclear whether and to what extent health and well-being of adole…
The social dimensions of community delivery of intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in pregnancy in Madagascar, Mozambique, Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of the Congo
INTRODUCTION: Intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy with sulphadoxine pyrimethamine (IPTp) is a key malaria prevention strategy in sub-Saharan African countries. We conducted an anthropological study as part of a project aiming to evaluate a community-based approach to the delivery of IPTp (C-IPTp) through community health workers (CHWs) in four countries (the Democratic Republic of Congo, Madagascar, Mozambique and Nigeria), to understa…
