Experiences of family caregivers caring for cancer patients at home: A qualitative systematic review comparing evidence from HICs and LMICs
The rising global cancer incidence and mortality rates increase burden for family caregivers of patients at home. Much research reflects Western-centric views, overlooking cultural, relational, and structural contexts worldwide. We compared experiences of family caregivers in high-income countries (HICs) and low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) through a qualitative systematic review using JBI methodology. We searched eight databases and scre…
Women’s health and well-being in five birth cohorts from low- and middle-income countries: Domains and their associations with early-life conditions
Background: Women's health and well-being (WHW) have been receiving growing attention, but limited progress has been made on how to measure its different domains in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We used data from five long-term birth cohorts in Brazil, Guatemala, the Philippines and South Africa to explore different domains of adult WHW, and how these domains relate to early life exposures. Methods: Based upon an a priori conceptualis…
Feasibility Testing of a Health Literacy Intervention With Adolescents and Young Adults in South Africa: The LifeLab Soweto Programme
INTRODUCTION: Low health literacy levels during adolescence and young adulthood (AYA) may impact acute healthcare access and longer-term health outcomes. Previous research in South African AYA suggests that health literacy levels are typically suboptimal but few interventions exist. This study aimed to test the acceptability and feasibility of a co-created, interactive health literacy intervention (LifeLab-Soweto) with AYA in Soweto, South Africa…
Exploring the national prevalence of mental health risk, multimorbidity and the associations thereof: A repeated cross-sectional panel study
Objective and methods: South Africans were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and resultant economic hardships. As a result, mental health within this region may have worsened. Therefore, using large scale nationally representative data, we repeated the cross-sectional panel study to investigate mental health risk post COVID-19 to explore mental health and multimorbidity and to examine the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) …

Understanding the Relationship between Socio-Economic Status, Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour, and Adiposity in Young Adult South African Women Using Structural Equation Modelling
Socio-economic status (SES) is an important predictor of obesity, but how it is associated with differences in physical activity and sedentary behaviour is less clear. This cross-sectional study examined the association between SES (sum of household assets), physical activity and sedentary time, and how they predict adiposity. Socio-demographic, anthropometric, and physical activity data on rural ( n = 509) and urban ( n = 510) South African wome…
Father Contact Following Union Dissolution for Low-Income Children in Urban South Africa
Black fathers in South Africa face enormous challenges remaining involved in their children's lives as a result of very high levels of unemployment and union instability. We use data from the Birth to Twenty (Bt20) cohort study to describe trajectories of father contact in the lives of children who have experienced a parental union dissolution and examine the influence of life stage of child at time of union dissolution and mother's entry into ne…
Association between maternal age at childbirth and child and adult outcomes in the offspring: A prospective study in five low-income and middle-income countries (COHORTS collaboration)
BACKGROUND: Both young and advanced maternal age is associated with adverse birth and child outcomes. Few studies have examined these associations in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) and none have studied adult outcomes in the offspring. We aimed to examine both child and adult outcomes in five LMICs. METHODS: In this prospective study, we pooled data from COHORTS (Consortium for Health Orientated Research in Transitioning Societies…
