HOme-based self-sampling for cervical cancer prevention education among women living with HIV in Ghana (Hope-inG)
ClinicalTrials.gov NCT06800664. Registered on 29 January 2025
“They are trying their best”
BACKGROUND: The World Health Organization (WHO) has indicated that the absence of prison health poses a threat to public health, making it important to safeguard access to quality healthcare for incarcerated populations. Although several studies have explored the quality of care in prisons, there is a dearth of empirical evidence on the perspectives of incarcerated individuals. This study investigated incarcerated individuals' perspectives and op…
An exploratory qualitative study of the psychological effects of HIV diagnosis; the need for early involvement of mental health professionals to improve linkage to care
The initial reaction to the diagnosis of HIV in this LMIC context has the potential to impact linkage to care negatively and, thus, the attainment of the global 95-95-95 targets. It is, therefore, essential that mental health and psychological support services are integrated with testing services to manage the initial reactions and support individuals to improve early linkage to care and thus improve overall outcomes for the infected individual a…
Family-Based Index testing for HIV; a qualitative study of acceptance, barriers/challenges and facilitators among clients in Cape Coast, Ghana
Family-based Index HIV Testing, (FBIT) approach is known to be associated with a relatively higher testing yield compared to Provider-Initiated Testing and Counselling. The implementation of this strategy in several countries has exposed some barriers to optimal FBIT outcomes. With the scale up of FBIT in Ghana, stakeholder engagement is key in identifying and addressing barriers to implementation. This study explored acceptance, barriers/challen…
A nationwide cross-sectional review of in-hospital hepatitis B virus testing and disease burden estimation in Ghana, 2016 - 2021
Ghana remains a country with high HBV burden. There is an unequal distribution, with higher HBsAg seroprevalence in the north of the country. Furthermore, PCR testing is not widely available outside of large teaching hospitals, which limits diagnostic work-up. Hepatitis reporting systems and registers should be improved to facilitate data capture of indicators and standardised across the country to allow for comparability. Furthermore, where gain…
Preponderance of vaccine-preventable diseases hotspots in northern Ghana
This study shows a preponderance of VPD hotspots in the northern parts of Ghana and in semi-arid ecoclimates. The relationship between ASGM activities and VPD transmission in Ghana remains blurred and requires further studies with better spatial resolution to clarify
Prevalence and changes in boredom, anxiety and well-being among Ghanaians during the Covid-19 pandemic
This study is the first in Ghana to provide evidence of the changes in boredom, anxiety and psychological well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings underscore the need for the inclusion of mental health interventions as part of the current pandemic control protocol and public health preparedness towards infectious disease outbreaks
