  • Recruitment and engagement of a cohort of women living with HIV in Nigeria

    Open AccessNwamaka Alexandra Ezeonu, John O Olawepo et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Nigeria has a high burden of mother to child transmission (MTCT) of HIV. There is paucity of large-scale prospective cohort studies to provide insight into the reasons for the abysmal MTCT indices. This paper describes the baseline characteristics of women living with HIV who signed consent to participate in future clinical or implementation trials. The Nigeria Implementation Science Alliance (NISA) developed an open multicentre prospective cohor…

  • Rapid implementation mapping to identify implementation determinants and strategies for cervical cancer control in Nigeria

    Open AccessIjeoma Uchenna Itanyi, Clare Viglione et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Background: Cervical cancer constitutes a huge burden among women in Nigeria, particularly HIV-infected women. However, the provision and uptake of cervical cancer screening and treatment is limited in Nigeria. Understanding implementation determinants is essential for the effective translation of such evidence-based interventions into practice, particularly in low-resource settings. COVID-19 pandemic necessitated online collaboration making impl…

  • Aviva

    Open AccessOlabanjo Okunlola Ogunsola, John O Olawepo et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2023

    Cervical cancer accounts for 21.7% of all cancer deaths in the sub-Saharan Africa with a case fatality rate of 68%. Nigeria’s Federal Ministry of Health has adopted cervical cancer screening (CCS) using visual inspection with acetic acid or Lugol’s iodine (VIA/VILI) and cryotherapy treatment for precancerous lesions as the preferred screening and treatment strategy. Using the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation and Sustainment Framework, our…

  • Addressing the unmet mental health needs of people living with HIV

    Johnbosco Chika Chukwuorji, Nwamaka Alexandra Ezeonu et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2023

    Some mental health interventions have addressed mental health among people living with HIV (PLWH) using a variety of approaches, but little is known about the details of such interventions in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), a region that bears the largest burden of HIV in the world. The present study describes mental health interventions for PLWH in SSA regardless of the date and language of publication. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Syst…

  • Building a national framework for multicentre research and clinical trials

    Open AccessJohn O Olawepo, Echezona E Ezeanolue et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2022

    There is limited capacity and infrastructure in sub-Saharan Africa to conduct clinical trials for the identification of efficient and effective new prevention, diagnostic and treatment modalities to address the disproportionate burden of disease. This paper reports on the process to establish locally driven infrastructure for multicentre research and trials in Nigeria known as the Nigeria Implementation Science Alliance Model Innovation and Resea…

  • Evaluating the design and implementation fidelity of an adapted Plan-Do-Study-Act approach to improve health system performance in a Nigerian state

    Open AccessEjemai Amaize Eboreime, Amadeu Petitbò i Juan et al.ARTICLEEvaluation and Program Planning2021

    This study demonstrates how both adaptation and implementation fidelity are important for success of QI interventions. It also presents an approach for evaluating other QI models using Taylor's PDSA assessment framework as a guide, which might serve to strengthen the theory behind future QI models and provide guidance on their appropriate use

  • From Ebola to Covid-19

    Open AccessAkin Abayomi, Modasola Balogun et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2021

    BACKGROUND: Lagos state is the industrial nerve centre of Nigeria and was the epicentre of the 2014 Ebola outbreak in Nigeria as it is now for the current Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) outbreak. This paper describes how the lessons learned from the Ebola outbreak in 2014 informed the emergency preparedness of the State ahead of the COVID-19 outbreak and guided response. DISCUSSION: Following the Ebola outbreak in 2014, the Lagos State government…

  • Health care Providers’ Perceptions About Overweight and Obesity Among People Living With Human Immunodeficiency Virus in Nigeria

    Open AccessJohn O Olawepo, Jennifer R Pharr et al.ARTICLEQualitative Health Research2021

    HIV infection was associated with significant weight loss before the advent of potent antiretroviral therapy (ART). Weight gain while on treatment was seen as a clinical indicator of treatment success. Perceptions of health care providers (HCPs) about obesity among people living with (PLHIV) were examined. We conducted 16 key informant interviews with HCPs in two states in southeastern Nigeria, which were then coded thematically. The respondents …

  • HIV testing among men in Nigeria

    Babayemi O Olakunde, Daniel A Adeyinka et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2020

    HIV testing among men is critical to ending the HIV epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa. Using the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey, 2016/2017, we examined the uptake and determinants of HIV testing among sexually active men in Nigeria. A total of 1254 young people (15–24 years) and 7866 adults (25–49 years) were included in the analysis. We conducted binary logistic regression analyses to estimate the odds ratio (OR) and adjusted OR for testing for …

  • Appraising and addressing design and implementation failure in global health

    Open AccessEjemai Amaize Eboreime, John O Olawepo et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2020

    There have been recent concerns about the failure of several global health interventions. Interventions are considered to have failed when they are unable to achieve the intended results. Failure may be linked to how the intervention was designed (design failure) or how it was implemented (implementation failure). Recently, substantial efforts have been employed to improve the outcomes of health interventions. These efforts have led to the develo…

  • The use of social marketing campaigns to increase HIV testing uptake

    John O Olawepo, Jennifer R Pharr et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2019

  • Health Benefits from Upgrading Public Buses for Cleaner Air

    Open AccessJohn O Olawepo, L-W Antony ChenARTICLEInternational Journal of…2019

    Public transit buses, which move more than 5 billion passengers annually in the United States (U.S.), can contribute substantially to the environmental health burden through emitted air pollutants. As a leader in transforming to cleaner bus fleets, the Regional Transport Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) has been transitioning from diesel to compressed natural gas (CNG) transit buses since 1999. By 2017, ~75% of RTC's buses operating in Clark C…

  • Male partner involvement on initiation and sustainment of exclusive breastfeeding among HIV‐infected post‐partum women

    Open AccessDorothy Ihekuna, Neal Rosenburg et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2017

    Exclusive Breastfeeding (EBF) among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected mothers is known to be associated with a sustained and significant reduction in HIV transmission and has the potential to reduce infant and under-five mortality. Research shows that EBF is not common in many HIV-endemic, resource-limited settings despite recommendations by the World Health Organization. Although evidence abounds that male partner involvement increases…
