  • Factors shaping network emergence

    Open AccessYusra Ribhi Shawar, Nehla Djellouli et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    The Quality-of-Care Network (QCN) was conceptualized by the World Health Organization (WHO) and other global partners to facilitate learning on and improve quality of care for maternal and newborn health within and across low and middle-income countries. However, there was significant variance in the speed and extent to which QCN formed in the involved countries. This paper investigates the factors that shaped QCN’s differential emergence in Bang…

  • Relational community engagement within health interventions at varied outcome scales

    Open AccessNicole Redvers, Asiya Odugleh-Kolev et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Relational community engagement may be a powerful approach with multiple health outcomes. Relational community engagement has the potential to promote health and involves collaborative efforts between multiple stakeholders. The COVID-19 pandemic further highlighted the centrality of community engagement in health crises. Challenges continue to persist, however, in genuinely engaging and empowering communities for better health outcomes. Understan…

  • From short-term engagements to meaningful and equitable global health partnerships

    Open AccessShailendra Prasad, Eunice Kamaara et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    The struggle for global health equity is complex, often fueled by a desire for quick solutions. Though global health should be a broad, 'big-tent' endeavor, quite often it gets simplified to the immediacy of clinical medicine. Short-term global engagements in global health (STEGH), like medical missions and student trips, embody this impulse. These, like many other aspects of global health, have roots in the late 19 th century as a largely neocol…

  • Maternal hypertensive mother’s knowledge, attitudes and misconceptions on hypertension in pregnancy

    Open AccessEvelyn Tamma, M Barmatz et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Hypertension in pregnancy is one of the commonest complications of pregnancy and a leading cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality globally, with the highest burden in low and middle income countries. Pregnant women’s knowledge about hypertension in pregnancy facilitates early health seeking behavior, which can result in early diagnosis and treatment. This study therefore explored the knowledge, misconceptions and attitudes of Gha…

    Open AccessSuman Ranjitkar, Tor A Strand et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    The COVID-19 pandemic has affected many aspects of daily life worldwide, but the impact may be higher for impoverished populations. The main aim of this study is to describe the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on different aspects of daily life in mothers in Nepal. We included 493 mothers of children aged 54–71 months participating in a randomized controlled trial on vitamin B12 supplementation. Mothers answered questions regarding the exposure a…

  • Collecting mortality data via mobile phone surveys

    Open AccessMichael Chasukwa, Augustine Choko et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Despite the urgent need for timely mortality data in low-income and lower-middle-income countries, mobile phone surveys rarely include questions about recent deaths. Such questions might a) be too sensitive, b) take too long to ask and/or c) generate unreliable data. We assessed the feasibility of mortality data collection using mobile phone surveys in Malawi. We conducted a non-inferiority trial among a random sample of mobile phone users. Parti…

  • Stigma, coping strategies, and their impact on treatment and health outcomes among young men living with HIV in Vietnam

    Open AccessNhu K Tran, Bach Ngoc Vu et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Background Stigma affects persons living with HIV in myriad ways, including mental health, adherence to antiretroviral therapy, and retention in care, and may manifest at inter- and intra-personal levels. Youth are particularly vulnerable; those in vulnerable groups may experience multiple stigmas. In Vietnam, new HIV infections are rising among men in young age groups. To better understand the facets of stigma experienced by young men living wit…

  • A syndemic born of war

    Open AccessLaura Dean, Sally Theobald et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    The intersections between NTDs, disability, and mental ill-health are increasingly recognised globally. Chronic morbidity resultant from many NTDs, particularly those affecting the skin—including lymphatic filariasis (LF), leprosy, Buruli ulcer (BU) and onchocerciasis—is well known and largely documented from a medicalised perspective. However less is known about the complex biosocial interaction shaping interconnected morbidities. We apply synde…

  • Toward co-design of an AI solution for detection of diarrheal pathogens in drinking water within resource-constrained contexts

    Open AccessRachel Hall‐clifford, Alejandro Arzu et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Despite successes on the Sustainable Development Goals for access to improved water sources and sanitation, many low and middle-income countries (LMICs) continue to struggle with high rates of diarrheal disease. In Guatemala, 98% of water sources are estimated to have E. coli contamination. This project moves toward a novel low-cost approach to bridge the gap between the microbiologic identification of E . coli and the vast impact that this patho…

Guatemala adopted these guidelines in 2011, but they have not …

  • Transnational Information Politics and the “Child Migration Crisis”

    Open AccessBriana Nichols, Karla Umana et al.ARTICLEVoluntas Revista Internacional de…2017Citada por: 1Referências: 11

    Sharp increases in “child migrants” from Central America detained at the US border in 2014 brought unprecedented levels of attention to long extant social and political issues perceived as causing youth migration. While governments on both sides of the US border faced criticism over responses to the migration “crisis,” the presumed causes of this migration presented in US media discourses went largely unquestioned. This article presents data coll…
