Migrating longitudinal African mental health data from staging to the Omop common data model within the INSPIRE network datahub
This framework demonstrates scalable harmonisation and integration of African mental health data, bridging the gap between local datasets with global standards. This then enables the performance of federated analysis and reproducible research, increasing the utility and impact of mental health data in informing evidence-based policies and future collaborative studies across Africa
Trends in Median Age at First Sex and Age at First Marriage Among Youth in Tanzania
Understanding trends in age of first sex and first marriage is vital for interventions addressing sexually transmitted infections (STIs/HIV) and youth sexual behavior. Shifts in these milestones affect fertility, contraceptive use, and STI/HIV dynamics. Traditional descriptive statistics often overlook younger populations, leading to inaccurate trend assessments. This study analyzed trends in median age at first sex and first marriage using survi…
Versatility, value and limitations of using health and demographic surveillance system data for secondary analyses
Transitions to adulthood in men and women in rural Malawi in the 21st century using sequence analysis
BACKGROUNDMany sub-Saharan African countries have large populations of young people, and these cohorts have the potential to bring significant change.Understanding the changing lives of young people is important for ensuring individuals experience healthy and successful transitions to adulthood and for understanding how best to ensure they realise their full potential, for themselves and their communities. METHODSThis analysis used detailed, pros…
Population-level adult mortality following the expansion of antiretroviral therapy in Rakai, Uganda
There are limited data on the impact of antiretroviral therapy (ART) on population-level adult mortality in sub-Saharan Africa. We analysed data for 2000-14 from the Rakai Community Cohort Study (RCCS) in Uganda, where free ART was scaled up after 2004. Using non-parametric and parametric (Weibull) survival analysis, we estimated trends in average person-years lived between exact ages 15 and 50, per capita life-years lost to HIV, and the mortalit…
Non-disclosure of HIV testing history in population-based surveys
Background: HIV/AIDS programmes and organisations around the world use routinely updated estimates of the UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets to track progress and prioritise further programme implementation. Any bias in these estimates has the potential to mislead organisations on where gaps exist in HIV testing and treatment programmes. Objective: To measure the extent of undisclosed HIV testing history and its impact on estimating the proportion of people…
Measuring HIV-related mortality in the first decade of anti-retroviral therapy in sub-Saharan Africa
For the past 30 years, many communities and countries in sub-Saharan Africa have suffered from the ravages of the HIV epidemic. During this time the mortality rates in HIV-infected people have been 10–20 times higher than in HIV-uninfected people. Since the advent of anti-retroviral therapy (ART), mortality and morbidity have decreased considerably. However, it has been difficult to get reliable estimates of the impact of ART in population-based …
Using HIV-attributable mortality to assess the impact of antiretroviral therapy on adult mortality in rural Tanzania
BACKGROUND: The Tanzanian national HIV care and treatment programme has provided free antiretroviral therapy (ART) to HIV-positive persons since 2004. ART has been available to participants of the Kisesa open cohort study since 2005, but data to 2007 showed a slow uptake of ART and a modest impact on mortality. Additional data from the 2010 HIV serological survey provide an opportunity to update the estimated impact of ART in this setting. METHOD…
How have ART treatment programmes changed the patterns of excess mortality in people living with HIV? Estimates from four countries in East and Southern Africa
BACKGROUND: Substantial falls in the mortality of people living with HIV (PLWH) have been observed since the introduction of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in sub-Saharan Africa. However, access and uptake of ART have been variable in many countries. We report the excess deaths observed in PLWH before and after the introduction of ART. We use data from five longitudinal studies in Malawi, South Africa, Tanzania, and Uganda, members of the network f…
Recognizing and Overcoming Challenges of Couple Interview Research
In this article we discuss some methodological and ethical challenges we faced when conducting a couple-based study on men's role in contraceptive switching, and how we overcame them. The challenges we discuss include recruiting couples with a range of experiences, ensuring informed consent of participants, maintaining confidentiality within interviews, and participants discussing interview content between interviews. As appropriate, we have draw…
P2-515 Investigating Victoria's inverse equity hypothesis
Introduction Cesar Victora9s “inverse equity hypothesis” predicts that socioeconomic inequality in a health outcome will increase as new interventions are introduced, but suggests the gap will close over time. We explored this in relation to the HIV epidemic in Tanzania. Methods Literature review and analysis of two nationally-representative HIV prevalence surveys conducted among adults aged 15–49 in 2003–2004 (N=10934) and 2007–2008 (N=15542). W…
Trends in HIV & syphilis prevalence and correlates of HIV infection
HIV prevalence trends concur with results from a community-based cohort in the region. Correlates of HIV infection have also changed and more proximate, individual level factors are now more important, in line with the changing epidemiology of infection in this population
Sexual behaviour in context
Measurement of Condom Use as a Risk Factor for HIV Infection
Correct and consistent condom use can prevent susceptible people from acquiring HIV infection. However, in many countries repeated cross-sectional studies reveal a trend of increasing prevalence of HIV infection alongside an increase in reported condom use. Changes in sexual behaviour that reduce the number of new HIV infections will not become apparent through changes in HIV prevalence until some time after the behaviour change takes place. Limi…
