“I’m Appalled and Astonished”
Access to nurturing early learning and childcare (ELCC) and a supportive early childhood environment play critical roles in promoting children’s cognitive, social, and behavioral development. However, access to these relevant programs and services remains inequitable, especially for historically marginalized communities, such as Black people. This paper reports the experiences of Black parents (n=25) as they navigated ELCC in Kingston and London,…
‘When you go to bed, and you cannot sleep … ’
Despite the critical role of smallholder farmers in promoting food and nutrition security, research suggests that their health is severely threatened by experiences of climate change events. Our study assesses smallholder farmers’ experiences and perceptions of rainfall, drought, flood, storm, and wildfire; and explores how such experiences impact food security and health. We employ the convergent mixed-method design, combining binomial regressio…
‘It's very hard, it's very very difficult ….’ Exploring the lived experiences of managing diabetes among young people living with type 1 diabetes in underserved communities in Ghana
Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is undergoing an epidemiological transition which is driving increases in the risk and prevalence of diabetes and other non-communicable diseases (NCDs). In Ghana, while the prevalence of diabetes is generally increasing, type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is increasing at a higher rate (9.5%) among young people compared to type 2 diabetes (4.9%) mellitus (T2DM). T1DM differs from T2DM in that it is not readily preventable, …
A Systematic Review of Barriers to and Facilitators of Early Learning and Childcare Among Black Children and Families in Canada and the USA
Understanding Accra’s housing market
Access to housing data in Ghana has been a challenge for researchers due to the lack of comprehensive data sources. However, the recent availability of big data sources has presented opportunities to bridge this data access gap. Using Greater Accra as a case, this study uses web scraping techniques to acquire publicly available housing data from two major E-commerce websites in Ghana and explores the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area’s (GAMA) preva…

The role of social support and the built environment on diabetes management among structurally exposed populations in three regions in Ghana
Sub-Saharan Africa is undergoing an epidemiological transition driven by rapid, unprecedented demographic, socio-cultural, and economic transitions. These transitions are driving increases in the risk and prevalence of diabetes and other non-communicable diseases (NCDs). As NCDs rise, several attempts have been made to understand the individual level factors that increase NCDs risks, knowledge, and attitudes around specific NCDs as well as how pe…
Modelling the determinants of car-sharing adoption intentions among young adults
Major cities in developing countries are increasingly becoming motorized. Thus, effective solutions to address the negative impacts that come with rising car-ownership are needed as part of an overall travel demand management strategy. In developed and emerging economies, shared-mobility in the form of car-sharing is becoming popular as potentially low-cost and environmentally sustainable alternative to car-ownership. Yet, our understanding of ca…
Spatial planning through the political landscape of Ghana
There is limited academic research on the interplay between spatial planning and partisan politics, particularly within the context of Africa, where it is argued that spatial planning institutions are not mutually exclusive from partisan political influences. This study is a contribution towards addressing this gap. It presents a comprehensive analysis and discussions of the state of spatial planning as captured by political manifestos in Ghana w…
