  • Comparing and integrating human mobility data sources for measles transmission modeling in Zambia

    Open AccessNatalya Kostandova, Christine Prosperi et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Quantifying population mobility is crucial in developing accurate models of infectious disease dynamics. Increasingly, multiple data sources are available to describe individual and population mobility in a single location; however, there are no methods to systematically integrate these data. Combining information from these data sets may be valuable and help mitigate inherent biases in each data set due to sampling, censoring, and recall. We exa…

  • High measles and rubella vaccine coverage and seroprevalence among Zambian children participating in a measles and rubella supplementary immunization activity

    Open AccessChristine Prosperi, Shaun Truelove et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Post-campaign coverage surveys estimate the proportion of previously unvaccinated children vaccinated during supplementary immunization activities (SIA) but cannot address whether susceptible children seronegative to measles and rubella viruses were vaccinated during the SIA. We conducted a cross-sectional serosurvey nested within the November 2020 measles-rubella SIA in Zambia, systematically sampling children aged 9 months to 5 years at 30 SIA …

  • Feasibility and acceptability of collecting dried blood spots (DBS) from children after vaccination during supplementary immunization activities to estimate measles and rubella seroprevalence

    Open AccessAndrea C Carcelen, Christine Prosperi et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Nested serosurveys within routine service delivery platforms such as planned supplemental immunization activities (SIAs) provide an opportunity to collect information that can be used to answer valuable questions on the effectiveness and efficiency of the delivery model to inform future activities. However, integrating research data collection in SIAs is rarely done due to concerns it will negatively impact the program. We conducted a serosurvey …

  • Who is missed in a community-based survey

    Open AccessNatalya Kostandova, Simon Mutembo et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Community-based serological studies are increasingly relied upon to measure disease burden, identify population immunity gaps, and guide control and elimination strategies; however, there is little understanding of the potential for and impact of sampling biases on outcomes of interest. As part of efforts to quantify measles immunity gaps in Zambia, a community-based serological survey using stratified multi-stage cluster sampling approach was co…

  • Losses in the Sputum Specimen Referral Cascade in Mpulungu District, Zambia

    Open AccessRuth Goma, Josphat Bwembya et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022

    Sputum specimen referral cascades in resource-limited settings are characterized by losses of specimens, resulting in delays in tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis. Mpulungu District Health Office in Zambia conducted a quantitative based cross-sectional study using both primary and secondary data to identify points at which loss of specimens occurred in the sputum referral cascade. Primary data were collected through observations and interviews with 22 T…

  • Using geospatial models to map zero-dose children

    Open AccessRohan Arambepola, Yangyupei Yang et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    INTRODUCTION: Despite gains in global coverage of childhood vaccines, many children remain undervaccinated. Although mass vaccination campaigns are commonly conducted to reach these children their effectiveness is unclear. We evaluated the effectiveness of a mass vaccination campaign in reaching zero-dose children. METHODS: We conducted a prospective study in 10 health centre catchment areas in Southern province, Zambia in November 2020. About 2 …

  • National and subnational HIV/Aids coordination

    Open AccessNeil Spicer, Julia Aleshkina et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2010

    BACKGROUND: A coordinated response to HIV/AIDS remains one of the 'grand challenges' facing policymakers today. Global health initiatives (GHIs) have the potential both to facilitate and exacerbate coordination at the national and subnational level. Evidence of the effects of GHIs on coordination is beginning to emerge but has hitherto been limited to single-country studies and broad-brush reviews. To date, no study has provided a focused synthes…

  • How HIV/Aids scale-up has impacted on non- HIV priority services in Zambia

    Open AccessRuairi Brugha, Ruairı́brugha et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2010

    The analysis shows scale-up in reproductive health service numbers in the same facilities where HIV services were scaling up. While district childhood immunisations increased overall, this did not necessarily occur in facility catchment areas where HIV service scale-up occurred. The paper demonstrates an approach for comparing correlation trends across different services, using routine health facility information. Larger samples and explanatory s…

  • Sexual risk reduction among Zambian couples

    Open AccessNdashi Chitalu, Phillimon Ndubani et al.ARTICLESAHARA-J Journal of Social…2009Citada por: 1Referências: 14

    Zambia has over 1 million HIV infections nationwide and an urban prevalence rate of 23%. This study compared the impact of male involvement in multiple and single session risk reduction interventions among inconsistent condom users in Zambia and the role of serostatus among HIV-seropositive and serodiscordant couples. Couples (N=392) were randomised into intervention arms. Among inconsistent condom users at baseline (N=83), condom use increased i…

  • Psychoactive Substance Use among Young People

    Open AccessMwansa A Nkowane, Mwansa Nkowane et al.ARTICLEContemporary Drug Problems2004Referências: 5

    This paper presents the findings of baseline assessments on psychoactive substance use that were conducted in selected sites in South Africa, Tanzania and Zambia between December 2000 and September 2001. The assessments focused on the status of substance use and prevention resources. They showed that a wide range of substances were used—especially alcohol, tobacco and painkillers—and included substances taken by injection. Usage was particularly …

  • Sexual behaviour and sexually transmitted diseases among young men in Zambia

    Open AccessPhillimon NdubaniARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2001

    Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are an increasing public health problem in Zambia. About 200 000 cases of STDs are treated annually in the formal health sector. Young people are the most affected by STDs. High-risk sexual behaviour has been identified as the major risk factor for STDs among young people. We conducted interviews and focus group discussions with a purposely selected sample of 126 young men aged between 16 and 26 in Chiawa, rur…
