Household water, sanitation, and hygiene practices in Ghana from 1993–2022
Background: Access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) remain public health and sustainable development necessities. While Ghana has made notable progress over the past three decades, persistent disparities and structural inequalities limit universal coverage. This study examined long-term trends, determinants, and rural-urban inequalities in household WASH in Ghana from 1993 to 2022 using multivariate decomposition and predictive model…
A qualitative study of type 1 diabetes complications, mental health, and structural pathways of complications occurrence among young people (14–24 years) and caregivers in southern Ghana
Young people (aged 14-24 years) living with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), especially, those in low-resource settings risks having T1D complications, and poor mental health. Yet, little is known about T1D complications, mental health, and their lived experiences among young people and their caregivers in Ghana . This article sought to understand a) the dynamics of T1D complications, mental health, and lived experiences, and b) drawing on this evidence, d…
Living with type 1 diabetes and schooling among young people in Ghana
T1DM impacted the schooling of young people living with the disease. The mechanisms of these impacts, and young peoples lived experiences are not artefactual, but rather support discourses on health selection and inadequate social support for young people living with the disease. The results call for the need to develop educational and social interventions to address these barriers. The full implementation of the Inclusive Education Policy (IEP) …
Fruits and vegetable consumption, and its association with hypertension among women in Ghana
Objective: This study aimed to examine the association between fruit and vegetable consumption (FVC) and the risk of hypertension among women in Ghana. Design: Data from the 2014 Ghana Demographic and Health Survey were used. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed using Stata version 14. The study reports the adjusted OR (AOR) and CI. Setting: Ghana Participants: A total sample of 4168 women was used in the analysi…
Coping and adaptation strategies among young persons living with type 1 diabetes and their caregivers
Young persons living with T1D and their caregivers adopted coping strategies which both promoted and compromised their T1D management. There was an occasional co-existence of diverse coping strategies (productive and non-productive), and these reflects the personal and contextual stressors they faced. The results call for the need to eliminate barriers of T1D management and equip patients and their caregivers with ongoing T1D coping competencies
Circumcising daughters in Nigeria
Education has been adjudged as an important behavioural change intervention and a key player in combating Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C). An assumed pathway is that it influences FGM/C attitudes. However, empirical evidence that explores this assumption is scarce. Hence, our study examines whether the associative effect of FGM/C continuation attitudes on circumcision of daughters is influenced by the level of a mother’s education in Ni…
Prevalence and factors associated with hypertension among older people living with HIV in South Africa
More than half of South African older PLHIV are hypertensive. The factors associated with hypertension among older PLHIV are age, sex, ever diagnosed with stroke and number of times visited the clinic. Integration of hypertension management and advocacy in HIV care is urgently needed in South Africa in order to accelerate reductions in the prevalence of hypertension among older PLHIV, as well as enhance South Africa's capacity to attain the Susta…
