Supply-side factors influencing informal payment for healthcare services in Tanzania
Informal payments for healthcare are widespread in sub-Saharan Africa. They are often regressive, potentially limiting access to quality healthcare, particularly for the most vulnerable, and can have catastrophic consequences for households. Yet there is little empirical research that uses theory-driven hypotheses to explore what influences informal payments and, especially, from health workers’ perspectives. Consequently, we have explored the ch…

Strengthening national capacities for researching on Social Determinants of Health (SDH) towards informing and addressing health inequities in Tanzania
Tanzania’s socio-economic development is challenged by sharp inequities between and within urban and rural areas, and among different socio-economic groups. This paper discusses the importance of strengthening SDH research, knowledge, relevant capacities and responsive systems towards addressing health inequities in Tanzania. Based on a conceptual framework for building SDH research capacity, a mapping of existing research systems was undertaken …
Prevalence and social drivers of HIV among married and cohabitating heterosexual adults in south-eastern Tanzania
BACKGROUND: In sub-Saharan Africa, the prevalence of HIV among married and cohabiting couples is substantial. Information about the underlying social drivers of HIV transmission in couples is critical for the development of structural approaches to HIV prevention, but not readily available. We explored the association between social drivers, practices, and HIV status among stable couples in Ifakara, Tanzania. DESIGN: Using a cross-sectional desig…

Introduction
Poor People's Experiences of Health Services in Tanzania
This literature review examines key findings on poor people's experiences of health services and the barriers to access among the very poor. It was first published in 2004 by the Women's Dignity Project/Utu Mwanamke, PO Box 79402, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Fertility and contraceptive use in poor urban areas of developing countries
The population in urban areas of developing countries continues to grow rapidly. Poor urban areas may have high growth rates through a number of mechanisms including continued migration, a youthful age structure, high age-specific fertility rates, and population movement. Fertility among the urban poor varies between and within cities, and is affected by many factors. Those with fertility-enhancing effects include decreases in breastfeeding and s…
Investigating Induced Abortion in Developing Countries
Interest in abortion research is reemerging, partly as a result of political changes and partly due to evidence of the contribution of induced abortion to maternal mortality in developing countries. Information is lacking on all aspects of induced abortion, particularly methodological issues. This article reviews the methodological dilemmas encountered in previous studies, which provide useful lessons for future research on induced abortion and i…
Vitamin A supplementation and child survival
Vitamin A deficiency is a common problem in many of the poorer countries of the world, especially in Asia and certain parts of Africa. Vitamin A deficiency causes xerophthalmia, a potentially blinding eye condition, and it has been estimated that at least 500 000 of the world's children develop severe corneal xerophthalmia each year, 50% of whom will later become blind; three-quarters of this 50% die within a few months of becoming blind. This pa…
