Impact of co-packaging oral rehydration salts and zinc on diarrhoea treatment dispensing behaviour in selected rural health facilities in Zambia
Co-packaged oral rehydration salts (ORS) and zinc for the treatment of childhood diarrhoea was added to the World Health Organization’s Essential Medicines List in 2019, to help address the persistently high mortality and morbidity associated with diarrhoea in children under 5 years of age and the low uptake of the recommended co-therapy. However, little empirical evidence exists on how co-packaging impacts dispensing practices in low-resource se…
Accessibility and quality of care for adults with hypertension in rural Burkina Faso
Providing quality healthcare is essential to reduce the future burden of cardiovascular disease. We assessed the quality of care for people with hypertension in Burkina Faso using the Institute of Medicine (IoM) Quality Domains of effectiveness, timeliness of access, patient-centredness and equitability of care. We performed an analysis of cross-sectional household survey data collected from a population-representative sample of 4000 adults ≥40 y…
Evaluation of the National cervical cancer surveillance program in Bangladesh
Cervical cancer (CC) is the second most prevalent cancer among women in Bangladesh, with 9,640 new cases and 5,826 deaths annually. Since 2018, the Electronic Data Tracking with Population-Based Cervical and Breast Cancer Screening Program (EPCBCSP) has been implemented nationwide across 601 health centers, utilizing Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA) for CC screening. However, the system had not been evaluated until now. This study aims to…
Implementing community-based interventions for the management of chronic conditions in low- and middle-income countries
The rising prevalence of chronic diseases in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) poses significant challenges to already overburdened health systems. Community-based interventions are recognised as effective strategies for managing these conditions. However, implementing such interventions faces barriers that can hinder their effectiveness. This scoping review aims to assess qualitative studies examining barriers and facilitators to implemen…
Flooding and elevated prenatal depression in rural Bangladesh
Prenatal depression can have lasting adverse impacts on child health. Little is known about the impact of floods on prenatal depression in low- and middle-income countries. We conducted a cross-sectional survey of 881 pregnant women from September 24, 2023 to July 19, 2024 in riverine communities in rural Bangladesh. We recorded participant-reported flooding in the past 6 months, administered the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), and o…
Predicting mobile health clinic utilization for Covid-19 vaccination in South Carolina
Mobile health clinics (MHCs) are effective tools for providing health services to disadvantaged populations, especially during health emergencies. However, patient utilization of MHC services varies substantially. Strategies to increase utilization are needed to maximize the effectiveness of MHC services by serving more patients in need. The purpose of this study is to develop a statistical framework to identify and prioritize high-risk communiti…
Assessing the availability and scope of routine data on post-pregnancy family planning
Many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) include postpartum and postabortion family planning (PPFP/PAFP) in their national family planning (FP) commitments. Understanding what PPFP and PAFP data are available in routine health information systems (HIS) is important, as both county-level and global monitoring increasingly rely on these systems to track service delivery and scale-up, inform program improvements, and support accountability. Thi…

Implementing a multilevel, multicomponent intervention to engage fathers in complementary feeding in Northern Nigeria
The Alive & Thrive multilevel, multicomponent intervention to engage fathers in complementary feeding in Kaduna State, Nigeria previously showed significant increases in complementary feeding practices for children. This analysis explores the perceptions of intervention deliverers and recipients to inform future spread. The intervention components included counseling cards, home visits, feeding bowls, texts/prerecorded messages, posters, leaflets…
Impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on mental health of persons with disabilities
Mental health (MH) remains a major public health concern in Canada and has been exacerbated by the unprecedented challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated restrictions on physical movement. While considerable work has been done on the impact of COVID-19 on the physical and MH of the general population, relatively less work has focused on the MH of persons with disabilities (PWDs). Although the COVID-19 containment measures including …

Intersectional HIV stigma in Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean
Research has recently surged on intersectional HIV stigma, including how intersecting stigmatized identities and socio-structural conditions influence HIV prevention and treatment outcomes. However, most of this work has been concentrated in high-income settings. This scoping review aimed to provide an overview of research on intersectional HIV stigma in Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean. A search was conducted using five databa…
Exploring the pattern of mental health support-seeking behaviour and related barriers among women experiencing intimate partner violence in urban slums of Bangladesh
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a recognised global public health concern, substantially impacting women's well-being. While there is growing research on how IPV victim-survivors seek mental health support in the Global North, it remains understudied in the Global South, particularly for those residing in slums in low-income countries like Bangladesh. Through interviews and group discussions with different stakeholders, this study explored the…
Trends in global glucose lowering medication consumption
Diabetes imposes a substantial global burden. Examining consumption trends of glucose lowering medications can help facilitate cross-country comparisons and uncover areas of unmet need. Leveraging IQVIA MIDAS data, our analysis spans 72 countries and 2 regions from 2010 to 2021, employing defined daily dose (DDD) as a consumption metric. We assessed consumption trends across income tiers and individual country rankings, exploring WHO essential me…
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 …
Going beyond the fifth child
Background Despite the extensive research on fertility desire among women worldwide, there is a dearth of literature on the desire for more children among high-parity women. This study aimed to identify the determinants of the desire for more children among high parity partnered women in Uganda. Methods This study was based on nationally representative data from the 2016 Uganda Demographic and Health Survey. The study sample comprised of a weight…
Health related quality of life among the below poverty line population in Bangladesh
The below-poverty-line (BPL) population experiences challenges in accessing quality healthcare services due to their limited affordability and vulnerability to illness. This paper assessed their health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and its associated determinants. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 803 BPL individuals aged 18 and above in Tangail district from July to September 2018. To measure HRQoL, we employed a Bengali version of …
