Perceptions of childhood illness and pneumonia recognition
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…
Is maternal HIV infection a risk factor for delayed or missed infant measles vaccination in western Kenya
Measles is a highly infectious virus and one of the leading causes of childhood morbidity and mortality in areas with low immunization rates. Despite the introduction of the measles vaccine preventing about 20 million deaths between 2000 and 2016, there still is a low uptake of the vaccine, especially in low-income countries. Maternal HIV positive status is identified as one of the factors inhibiting the uptake of the measles vaccine in some sett…
