A comparison of all-cause and HIV cause-specific mortality among children under 5 years of age before and during Covid-19 in Kenya, 2018–2022
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on pediatric mortality, including measures to ensure continuity of HIV care, is not well described in Kenya. We evaluated causes of death (COD) among decedents under 5 years of age both before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in Kenya. We analyzed Child Health and Mortality Prevention Surveillance (CHAMPS) data collected in February 2018–March 2022. We describe the proportional contribution of specific conditio…
The long-term impact of HIV/Aids on socio-economic status
HIV/AIDS is known to have adverse effects on individual and family socio-economic status due to the loss of productive time and over-expenditure in treatment. However, empirical data on how HIV/AIDS affects households' socio-economic status are insufficient. We linked socio-economic data from a Health and Demographic Surveillance System (HDSS) that implements an HIV/AIDS Longitudinal bio-behavioural survey (LBBS) to understand the long-term impac…
Impact of mobile phone delivered reminders and unconditional incentives on measles-containing vaccine timeliness and coverage
INTRODUCTION: Short message service (SMS) reminders coupled with a small monetary incentive conditioned on prompt vaccination have been shown to improve first-dose measles-containing vaccine (MCV1) uptake. We assessed whether SMS reminders and unconditional monetary incentives-more amenable to programmatic implementation-can improve MCV1 uptake in Kenya. METHODS: Caregivers of eligible infants aged 6-8 months were enrolled into an individually ra…
