Socioeconomic inequalities, substance use, and chronic multimorbidity in Kiambu and Nakuru counties in Kenya
Multimorbidity, defined as the coexistence of two or more chronic conditions in an individual, is a growing public health concern associated with increased healthcare costs, poorer quality of life, and increased mortality. Substance use, defined as the consumption of alcohol, tobacco, or other psychoactive substances, may influence the development of multimorbidity, but evidence from sub-Saharan Africa remains limited. We examined the prevalence …
Piloting lymphoedema management for lymphatic filariasis
Training of health care providers, caregivers and patients using the developed intervention care package contributed to improved knowledge on cause and management of lymphoedema. The CHVs played a critical role in the identification and referral of patients, which contributed to improved health-care seeking behaviour and increased service utilization. Collaboration with the county health authorities contributed to improved quality of health care …
Better floors, better health
This study presents a theory of change framework mapping the pathways through which an improved flooring intervention may impact health and wellbeing. The results can be of use to researchers or programmes that are in the design or evaluation phase of a household flooring project in Kenya or other settings where access to improved floors is limited
Soil-transmitted helminths and schistosomiasis among pre-school age children in a rural setting of Busia County, Western Kenya
There was high prevalence of STH infection among enrolled PSAC despite having participated in the national school-based deworming programme. Hence the need for continued mass drug administration to reduce the intensity of infections among these age group. In addition, further research maybe needed to identify drivers of STH infection particularly T. trichiura among PSAC
Lessons from implementing mass drug administration for soil transmitted helminths among pre-school aged children during school based deworming program at the Kenyan coast
There is need to utilize better sensitization methods to include the local administration as well as the parents for better uptake of the drugs. Extending deworming training to pre-school teachers will enhance the national deworming programme
