Exploring perspectives of knowledge users about reporting on health equity in observational studies: A qualitative study informing the development of the STROBE-Equity reporting guideline
BACKGROUND: Health inequities arising from systemic factors and contextual conditions result in avoidable and unjust differences in health outcomes, with profound social and economic implications. Health inequities can frequently go unreported in observational studies. Observational studies can uniquely inform how we understand and address persisting health inequities through collecting, reporting and analyzing health equity factors using 'inclus…

Evaluation of a strategic academic-government partnership to advance Covid-19 clinical practice guidelines access and uptake in South Africa
INTRODUCTION: Academic-government partnerships are important to advance timely, responsive and relevant evidence for decision-making (policy, guideline, law and regulation) deliberations. Deliberate and strategic integrated knowledge translation (KT) approaches within such partnerships have been shown to facilitate evidence-informed decision-making (EIDM). We used Cochrane's KT Framework to map and analyse COVID-19 response activities instituted …
Reporting of equity in observational epidemiology: A methodological review
Background: Observational studies can inform how we understand and address persisting health inequities through the collection, reporting and analysis of health equity factors. However, the extent to which the analysis and reporting of equity-relevant aspects in observational research are generally unknown. Thus, we aimed to systematically evaluate how equity-relevant observational studies reported equity considerations in the study design and an…
Covid-19 preparedness and response in rural and remote areas: A scoping review
This scoping review used the Arksey and O’Malley approach to explore COVID-19 preparedness and response in rural and remote areas to identify lessons to inform future health preparedness and response planning. A search of scientific and grey literature for rural COVID-19 preparedness and responses identified 5 668 articles published between 2019 and early 2022. A total of 293 articles were included, of which 160 (54.5%) were from high income coun…
Factors contributing to pre-treatment loss to follow-up in adults with pulmonary tuberculosis: A qualitative evidence synthesis of patient and healthcare worker perspectives
BACKGROUND: Since 2018, over 14 million people have been treated for tuberculosis (TB) globally. However, pre-treatment loss to follow-up (PTLFU) has been shown to contribute substantially to patient losses in the TB care cascade with subsequent high community transmission and mortality rates. OBJECTIVE: To identify, appraise, and synthesise evidence on the perspectives of patients and healthcare workers on factors contributing to PTLFU in adults…
Improving social justice in observational studies: Protocol for the development of a global and Indigenous STROBE-equity reporting guideline
Achieving global imperatives such as the Sustainable Development Goals (e.g., SDG 10 Reduced inequalities, SDG 3 Good health and wellbeing) requires advancing health equity in research. The implementation of the STROBE-Equity guidelines will enable a better awareness and understanding of health inequities through better reporting. We will broadly disseminate the reporting guideline with tools to enable adoption and use by journal editors, authors…
Taking stock of population-level interventions targeting risk factors for hypertension and diabetes in Rwanda and South Africa: Methodological reflections and lessons learnt from conducting a multi-co…
Conducting a situational analysis is crucial for understanding the current state of interventions and identifying opportunities for new interventions. The multi-component methodology used in two African countries was found to be feasible, appropriate, and informative. Others planning to conduct situational analysis may follow, adapt and improve upon our approach, reacting to the challenges encountered
Population-Level Interventions Targeting Risk Factors for Hypertension and Diabetes in Rwanda: A Situational Analysis
Background: Eighty percent (80%) of global Non-Communicable Diseases attributed deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) with hypertension and diabetes being key contributors. The overall prevalence of hypertension was 15.3% the national prevalence of diabetes in rural and urban was 7.5 and 9.7%, respectively among 15-64 years. Hypertension represents a leading cause of death (43%) among hospitalized patients at the University teac…
Interventions for Keeping Adolescent Girls in School in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: A Scoping Review
Background: Adolescent girls dropping out of school may lead to gender inequality, high illiteracy levels, single motherhood, unemployment, and many more undesirable outcomes that inhabit human capital development for girls. It is therefore important to put measures in place to support adolescent girls to stay in school. The objectives of the scoping review were to identify and describe the types of studies conducted to assess interventions for k…
