Beyond belief
Research on help-seeking for serious mental illness (SMI) has often focused on the influence of cultural beliefs and explanatory models however a number of factors also influence decisions around treatment including availability, cost and quality of care. This study utilises an ecological framework to explore influences on help-seeking for serious mental illness in deprived urban slum communities in Ibadan, Nigeria and Dhaka, Bangladesh. Intervie…
Determinants of human papillomavirus vaccination uptake in Nigeria
Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination coverage in Nigeria is hindered by multiple barriers, including limited awareness, socioeconomic constraints, cultural beliefs, systemic challenges, and policy gaps. As a result, the burden of cervical cancer and other HPV-associated malignancies continues to rise despite public health interventions. The current mixed-methods systematic review (SR) synthesizes evidence on the determinants of HPV vaccination …
The scopes, outcomes, and limitations of health trials on oral sex practices
Worldwide, there is a paucity of health trials on oral sex practices. Despite methodological limitations, these trials reported mixed results, with the majority demonstrating positive changes in attitudes towards oral sex. Finally, there is a need for multi-country RCTs that are focused on oral sex practices, to ensure future policies related to oral sexual health are based on trials that are more rigorous, credible, and generalizable
Communicating risk during early phases of Covid-19
Background: Emergency risk communication (ERC) is key to achieving compliance with public health measures during pandemics. Yet, the factors that facilitated ERC during COVID-19 have not been analyzed. We compare ERC in the early stages of the pandemic across four socio-economic settings to identify how risk communication can be improved in public health emergencies (PHE). Methods: To map and assess the content, process, actors, and context of ER…
A comparative analysis of experienced uncertainties in relation to risk communication during Covid19
BACKGROUND: During outbreaks, uncertainties experienced by affected communities can influence their compliance to government guidance on public health. Communicators and authorities are, hence, encouraged to acknowledge and address such uncertainties. However, in the midst of public health crises, it can become difficult to define and identify uncertainties that are most relevant to address. We analyzed data on COVID-19-related uncertainties from…
