The global SEARCH network
Healthcare workers (HCWs) played a critical role in the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic, providing essential frontline care while putting themselves and potentially their household members at greater risk of infection.1 HCWs around the world made another important but often overlooked contribution during the pandemic; they participated in applied research, including as participants in cohort studies, to help advance our understanding of …
Early warning and response systems for respiratory disease outbreaks
Investigating acute respiratory illnesses (ARIs) is difficult due to non-specific symptoms, varied health-seeking behaviors, and resource limitations; yet early detection is critical to global health security. Kenya's Ministry of Health (MOH) uses the Integrated Disease Surveillance strategy for public health surveillance, incorporating event-based surveillance (EBS) and indicator-based surveillance (IBS) for early warning system. MOH, supported …
Healthcare-seeking behavior for respiratory illnesses in Kenya
Our findings suggest that hospital-based surveillance captures less than one quarter of severe pneumonia in the community. Multipliers from community household surveys can account for underutilization of healthcare resources and under-ascertainment of severe pneumonia at hospitals
The cost of influenza-associated hospitalizations and outpatient visits in Kenya
Our findings highlight influenza as causing substantial economic burden in Kenya. Further studies may be warranted to assess the potential benefit of targeted influenza vaccination strategies
Estimates of global seasonal influenza-associated respiratory mortality
Assessing parents’ knowledge and attitudes towards seasonal influenza vaccination of children before and after a seasonal influenza vaccination effectiveness study in low-income urban and rural Kenya,…
If influenza vaccine were to be introduced more broadly in Kenya, effective health messaging will be needed on vaccine side effects and frequency and potential severity of influenza infection
Concurrent sexual and substance-use risk behaviours among female sex workers in Kenya's Coast Province
While many studies confirm the association between HIV, alcohol and injecting drug use by female sex workers (FSWs), little is known about their use of marijuana, khat and other substances and the association of these substances with HIV, risky sexual behaviour, and sexual violence. To better understand this association, data were analysed from a cross-sectional, behavioural survey of 297 FSWs in Mombasa, a well-known tourist destination and the …
