Well-being and quality of life of Kenyan nurses, midwives and community health volunteers
Healthcare workers’ quality of life (QoL) and well-being is directly linked to the quality of services they deliver. However, there is a shortage of validated measures to assess QoL, well-being and their predictors among healthcare workers in Kenya, as in other LMICs. This study aimed to assess the reliability and validity of the Brunnsviken Brief Quality of Life Scale (BBQ) and WHO-5 well-being index (WHO-5) among nurses, midwives and community …
Low HIV-risk aligned discontinuation among HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis users within public HIV clinics in Kenya
Adherence to oral HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is crucial for its effectiveness, however, studies have shown that PrEP use wanes within the first six months. We sought to understand reasons for discontinuation among individuals previously accessing PrEP from HIV clinics. Between November 2020 – January 2023, we conducted a mixed methods sub-study within a programmatic study to improve the efficiency of PrEP delivery in four public HIV clin…
Socio-medical factors associated with neurodevelopmental disorders on the Kenyan coast
Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) are a group of conditions with their onset during the early developmental period and include conditions such as autism and intellectual disability. Occurrence of NDDs is thought to be determined by both genetic and environmental factors, but data on the role of environmental factors for NDD in Africa is limited. This study investigates environmental influences on NDDs in children from Kenya. This case-control s…
Preferences and Trade-offs for Attributes of Long-Acting HIV Prevention Products Among Pregnant and Breastfeeding Women in Kenya
The psychometric properties of the Swahili version of the Primary Care Post Traumatic Stress Disorder screen for DSM-5 among adults in Kenya
The S-PC-PTSD-5 is a reliable and valid unidimensional measure. It appears to be a valuable screening measure for probable PTSD in both urban and rural community settings in Kenya. Nonetheless, to confidently identify those who may need treatment/additional support, further research on the reliability and validity of S-PC-PTSD-5 is required, especially its diagnostic accuracy at different cutoff scores

This study was part of the integrated early childhood development pilot cluster randomised trial, registered in the Pan African Clinical Trial Registry on 26/03/2021, registration number PACTR202103514565914
Diabetes mellitus and associated risk factors among HIV infected patients on Haart
Understanding the impact of disease associations is becoming a priority in Kenya and other countries bearing the load of infectious diseases. With the increased incidences of non-communicable diseases and the endemicity of infectious diseases in Sub-Saharan Africa, their co-existence poses significant challenges to patients, health workers and an overwhelmed health sector. Classical risk factors for diabetes such as physical inactivity and unheal…
Psychometric evaluation of PHQ–9 and GAD–7 among community health volunteers and nurses/midwives in Kenya following a nation-wide telephonic survey
The PHQ-9 and GAD-7 are unidimensional, reliable, and valid tools for screening depression and anxiety among nurses/midwives and CHVs. The tools can be administered in a similar population or study setting using either Swahili or English
Economic burden and mental health of primary caregivers of perinatally HIV infected adolescents from Kilifi, Kenya
Our study indicates that HIV/AIDS is associated with a significant economic burden for caregivers of adolescents living with HIV. Results underscore the need for developing economic empowerment and social support programmes that reduce the economic burden of caring for perinatally infected adolescent. These efforts may improve the mental health and quality of life of caregivers of adolescents living with HIV
