  • Safety and immunogenicity of booster vaccination and fractional dosing with Ad26.COV2.S or BNT162b2 in Ad26.COV2.S-vaccinated participants

    Open AccessCatherine Riou, Jinal N Bhiman et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    We report the safety and immunogenicity of fractional and full dose Ad26.COV2.S and BNT162b2 in an open label phase 2 trial of participants previously vaccinated with a single dose of Ad26.COV2.S, with 91.4% showing evidence of previous SARS-CoV-2 infection. A total of 286 adults (with or without HIV) were enrolled >4 months after an Ad26.COV2.S prime and randomized 1:1:1:1 to receive either a full or half-dose booster of Ad26.COV2.S or BNT162b2 …

  • Trajectories of fertility intentions among women living with HIV in South Africa

    Katherine B Rucinski, Kimberly A Powers et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2021

    Fertility intentions are thought to be dynamic among women of reproductive age, yet few studies have assessed fertility intentions over time among women with HIV. We examine temporal patterns of fertility intentions in women with HIV to assess the extent to which fertility intentions - and the corresponding need for safer conception and judicious antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimen selection - vary over time. 850 non-pregnant HIV-positive women …

  • Covid-19 in Africa

    Open AccessMatthew Chersich, Glenda Gray et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2020

    Medical staff caring for COVID-19 patients face mental stress, physical exhaustion, separation from families, stigma, and the pain of losing patients and colleagues. Many of them have acquired SARS-CoV-2 and some have died. In Africa, where the pandemic is escalating, there are major gaps in response capacity, especially in human resources and protective equipment. We examine these challenges and propose interventions to protect healthcare worker…

  • Advancing STI priorities in the SDG era

    Open AccessMatthew Chersich, Sinead Delany-Moretlwe et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2018

    The Sustainable Development Goals present an opportunity to reimagine and then reconfigure the approach to controlling sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The predilection of STIs for women and for vulnerable populations means that services that ameliorate STIs, by their nature, enhance equity, a key focus of the goals. Given the considerable breadth and depth of the goals, it is important to locate points of convergence between the SDGs and …

  • Expanding global access to essential medicines

    Open AccessLukas Roth, Daniel Bempong et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2018

    Access to quality-assured medical products improves health and save lives. However, one third of the world's population lacks timely access to quality-assured medicines while estimates indicate that at least 10% of medicine in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are substandard or falsified (SF), costing approximately US$ 31 billion annually. National regulatory authorities are the key government institutions that promote access to quality-a…

  • At the Heart of the Problem

    Open AccessHelen Rees, Sinead Delany-Moretlwe et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2017

    Urban life in the twenty-first century is marked by numerous stresses and shocks, resulting from rapid urbanisation, frequent migration and crowding, massive unemployment, climate change, physical disasters, and disease outbreaks, among other challenges. This reality – according to the ‘100 Resilient Cities’ initiative of the Rockefeller Foundation – is why the concept of resilience is critical to a sustainable future: cities must learn to “survi…

  • Using surrogate vaccines to assess feasibility and acceptability of future HIV vaccine trials in men

    Open AccessLucy Chimoyi, Mphatso Kamndaya et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2017

    Recruitment and retention of men into vaccine trials is feasible and acceptable in our setting. Findings from this surrogate vaccine trial show a high willingness to participate in future HIV vaccine trials. While access to potentially effective vaccines is important, quality health services are an equally compelling incentive for enrolment

  • Sexual and reproductive health outcomes among female sex workers in Johannesburg and Pretoria, South Africa

    Open AccessMariette Slabbert, François Venter et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2017

    Sex worker populations are heterogeneous. Local health programmes must prioritise services that reflect the variety and complexity of sex worker needs and behaviours, and should be designed in consultation with sex workers. Segmenting sex worker populations according to age, country of origin and place of service delivery, and training healthcare providers accordingly, could help prevent new HIV infections, improve adherence to antiretroviral tre…

  • Local and foreign authorship of maternal health interventional research in low- and middle-income countries

    Open AccessMatthew Chersich, Matthew F Chersich et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2016

    BACKGROUND: Researchers in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are under-represented in scientific literature. Mapping of authorship of articles can provide an assessment of data ownership and research capacity in LMICs over time and identify variations between different settings. METHODS: Systematic mapping of maternal health interventional research in LMICs from 2000 to 2012, comparing country of study and of affiliation of first authors. …

  • Perspectives on the methods of a large systematic mapping of maternal health interventions

    Open AccessMatthew Chersich, Victor Becerril-Montekio et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2016

    BACKGROUND: Mapping studies describe a broad body of literature, and differ from classical systematic reviews, which assess more narrowly-defined questions and evaluate the quality of the studies included in the review. While the steps involved in mapping studies have been described previously, a detailed qualitative account of the methodology could inform the design of future mapping studies. OBJECTIVES: Describe the perspectives of a large rese…

  • Mapping of research on maternal health interventions in low- and middle-income countries

    Open AccessMatthew Chersich, Duane Blaauw et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2016

    BACKGROUND: Progress in achieving maternal health goals and the rates of reductions in deaths from individual conditions have varied over time and across countries. Assessing whether research priorities in maternal health align with the main causes of mortality, and those factors responsible for inequitable health outcomes, such as health system performance, may help direct future research. The study thus investigated whether the research done in…

  • Environmental Crisis, Culture Loss, and a New Musical Aesthetic

    Helen ReesARTICLEEthnomusicology2016Citada por: 17Referências: 6

    Since the early twenty- first century, a craze for "original ecology folksongs" has overtaken China. Performed by village- born singers in local dialect and obviously traditional style, these songs and the related discourse stress ties to place, cultural authenticity, and the interrelationship of physical environment with human culture. Their aesthetic stands in stark contrast to the twentieth- century preference for European- inspired modernizat…

  • Bitten By Shyness

    F Scorgie, Jennifer Foster et al.ARTICLEMedical Anthropology2016Citada por: 3Referências: 29

    Little is known about how menstruation is managed in low-income settings and whether existing sanitation systems meet women's needs. Using the 'Photovoice' method with 21 women in participatory workshops and in-depth interviews, we collected data on menstrual hygiene management in three sites in Durban, South Africa. All women reported using disposable sanitary pads. Although they were aware that disposable pads were nonbiodegradable, incompatibl…

  • Using HPV vaccination for promotion of an adolescent package of care

    Open AccessCatherine Macphail, Ethel Venables et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2013

    There is generally support for the delivery of adolescent preventive health services. Despite national priorities to address adolescent health needs, our data suggest that national policies might not always be appropriate for vastly different local situations. While decisions about interventions to include have traditionally been made at country level, our results suggest that local context needs to be taken account of. We suggest low resource st…
