  • Validation of the Child Depression Screening Tool in three African settings

    Open AccessSharain Suliman, Jenny Bloom et al.ARTICLECambridge Prisms Global Mental…2025Referências: 50

    The unavailability of reliable, easy-to-use depression screening tools adapted for Sub-Saharan African children is a significant barrier to the treatment of childhood depression. We thus adapted the Child Depression Screening Tool (CDST) to the South African (SA), Senegalese (S) and Rwandan (R) contexts, as a tool to screen for depression in children suffering from chronic illnesses, trauma and difficulties related to COVID-19, family and communi…

    Open AccessAlemayehu Amberbir, Fauzia Akhter Huda et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    The COVID-19 pandemic posed unprecedented challenges and threats to health systems, particularly affecting delivery of evidence-based interventions (EBIs) to reduce under-5 mortality (U5M) in resource-limited settings such as Bangladesh. We explored the level of disruption of these EBIs, strategies and contextual factors associated with preventing or mitigating service disruptions, and how previous efforts supported the work to maintain EBIs duri…

    Open AccessAgnes Binagwaho, Kedest Mathewos et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    box Since the 1970s, countries across the globe and various institutions have declared their commitment to gender equality.1 The United Nations (UN) held the First World Conference on Women in Mexico City in 1975, bringing together representatives from 133 countries.2 The conference that cemented the world’s commitment to gender equality was the UN Fourth World Conference on Women in 1995 which brought together 17 000 official participants and 30…

  • Hierarchy of qualities in global health partnerships

    Open AccessSimone H Schriger, Agnes Binagwaho et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    Despite the exponential growth of global health partnerships (GHPs) over the past 20 years, evidence for their effectiveness remains limited. Furthermore, many partnerships are dysfunctional as a result of inequitable partnership benefits, low trust and accountability and poor evaluation and quality improvement practices. In this article, we describe a theoretical model for partnerships developed by seven global health experts. Through semistruct…

  • What will we choose to learn from the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessAlice Bayingana, Agnes Binagwaho et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    Light has long been known to modulate sleep, but recent discoveries support its use as an effective nocturnal stimulus for eliciting sleep in certain rodents. “Photosomnolence” is mediated by classical and ganglion cell photoreceptors and occurs despite the ongoing high levels of locomotion at the time of stimulus onset. Brief photic stimuli trigger rapid locomotor suppression, sleep, and a large drop in core body temperature (Tc; Phase 1), follo…

  • Covid-Score

    Open AccessJeffrey V Lazarus, Scott Ratzan et al.ARTICLEPLoS ONE2020

    BACKGROUND: Understanding public perceptions of government responses to COVID-19 may foster improved public cooperation. Trust in government and population risk of exposure may influence public perception of the response. Other population-level characteristics, such as country socio-economic development, COVID-19 morbidity and mortality, and degree of democratic government, may influence perception. METHODS AND FINDINGS: We developed a novel ten-…

  • Learning from Exemplars in Global Health

    Open AccessDavid E Phillips, Zulfiqar A Bhutta et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    To minimise these negative indirect effects, countries will need to consider all domains of health systems, including demand, supply, resources and social determinants. To this end, learning from countries that have improved health outcomes amid other crises could provide helpful strategies. Some of the strategies used by these positive outlier countries include clear national leadership, datadriven targeting, community-focused health services an…
