  • Structural and health system determinants of mental health in Tanzania

    Open AccessMonika Sawhney, Ana Carla Soares Portugal Schippert et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2026

    Background Mental health disorders are a major public health concern in Tanzania, where most people in need of care do not receive treatment and mental health services remain severely under-resourced. Despite a growing body of country-level research, no prior review has mapped the evidence on structural determinants of mental health conditions and policy recommendations within the WHO Comprehensive Mental Health Action Plan 2013–2030. Objectives …

  • Modelling the impact of climatic and environmental variables on malaria incidence in Tanzania

    Open AccessAngelina M Lutambi, Basiliana Emidi et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Malaria remains a significant public health challenge, particularly among vulnerable populations in high-burden countries like Tanzania. Despite progress in reducing malaria incidence, climatic and environmental condition variability has led to uneven reductions, hindering the achievement of the WHO 2030 targets. We assessed the impact of climatic and environmental variables on malaria incidence to better understand spatial and temporal trends an…

  • Evaluation of long-lasting insecticidal net distribution through schools in Southern Tanzania

    Open AccessLogan Stuck, Frank Chacky et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2022

    Universal coverage with effective vector control remains the mainstay of malaria vector control in sub-Saharan Africa. Tanzania has utilized a number of mechanisms for the maintenance of long-lasting insecticidal net (LLIN) coverage over time. Schools have been identified as one potential channel for continuous distribution of LLIN. This research aims to evaluate an annual school-based LLIN distribution programme in Tanzania that began in 2013, c…

  • Can school-based distribution be used to maintain coverage of long-lasting insecticide treated bed nets

    Open AccessLogan Stuck, Angelina Lutambi et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2017References: 29

    Many sub-Saharan African countries have achieved substantial gains in insecticide treated bednet coverage since 2005. The Tanzania National Malaria Control Programme identified school-based net distribution as one potential 'keep-up' strategy for the purpose of maintaining long-lasting insecticidal net (LLIN) coverage after a nationwide mass campaign in 2011. The School Net Programme (SNP) was implemented in three regions of southern Tanzania and…

  • Do health workers’ preferences influence their practices? Assessment of providers’ attitude and personal use of new treatment recommendations for management of uncomplicated malaria, Tanzania

    Open AccessIrene M Masanja, Angelina M Lutambi et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2012

    Following changes in malaria treatment recommendations, most health workers did not prefer the new antimalarial drug, and their preferences worsened over time. However, many of them still used the newly recommended drug for management of their own or family members' malaria episode. This indicates that, other factors than providers' attitude may have more influence in their personal treatment practices

  • Multiple sexual partners and condom use among 10 - 19 year-olds in four districts in Tanzania

    Open AccessAmon Exavery, Angelina M Lutambi et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2011

    No evidence of association was found between multiple sexual partners and condom use among adolescents in the study area. The large proportion of adolescents who engage in sexual activity without using condoms, even those with multiple partners, perpetuates the risk of transmission of HIV infections in the community. Strategies such as sex education and easing access to and making a friendly environment for condom availability are important to ad…

  • Clustering of under-five mortality in Rufiji Health and Demographic Surveillance System in rural Tanzania

    Open AccessJosephine Shabani, Angelina M Lutambi et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2010

    BACKGROUND: Less than 5 years remain before the 2015 mark when countries will be evaluated on their achievements for the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The MDG 4 and 6 call for a reduction of child mortality by two-thirds and combating malaria, HIV/AIDS, TB, and other diseases, respectively. To accelerate the achievement of these goals, focused allocation of resources and high deployment of cost-effective interventions is paramount. The kno…

  • Under-five mortality

    Open AccessAngelina M Lutambi, Mathew Alexander et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2010

    BACKGROUND: Childhood mortality remains an important subject, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa where levels are still unacceptably high. To achieve the set Millennium Development Goals 4, calls for comprehensive application of the proven cost-effective interventions. Understanding spatial clustering of childhood mortality can provide a guide in targeting the interventions in a more strategic approach to the population where mortality is highest…
