  • Effectiveness of domestic food hygiene interventions on the microbiological quality of child food and childhood diarrhoea

    Open AccessLaura Braun, Clara MacLeod et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2026

    Background Foodborne diseases are an important cause of global morbidity and mortality, particularly among children who often experience diarrhoeal illnesses linked to foodborne enteric infections. Evidence on the effectiveness of interventions to reduce diarrhoea remains limited. This review synthesised evidence on the effectiveness of domestic food hygiene interventions on microbiological quality of child food and diarrhoea in children under fi…

  • Wash and learn

    Open AccessSarah Bick, Katherine Davies et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    School-age children in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) face health and educational challenges due to inadequate water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) in schools (WinS). Evidence for the impact of WinS interventions is limited and inconsistent, and previous systematic reviews have faced challenges in synthesising data due to varied interventions, study designs and outcome measures, although most do not examine this variability in mor…

  • Evaluation of the SKILLZ intervention to promote HIV testing and contraception uptake in adolescent girls in Lusaka, Zambia

    Open AccessCalvin Chiu, Chama Mulubwa et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Adolescent girls are at disproportionately high-risk for HIV and unintended pregnancy. Effective interventions to increase uptake of HIV testing and contraceptives are urgently needed. Our cluster-randomized controlled trial in 46 schools in Lusaka, Zambia evaluated the SKILLZ intervention: (a) 12 after-school sessions of sexuality and sexual and reproductive health (SRH) education culminating in a community “graduation” soccer event where a pop-…

  • Heavy menstrual bleeding and association with menstruation-specific resources

    Open AccessZarmeen Shakil, Brooke A Caruso et al.ARTICLEHealth & Place2025Referências: 1

    Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB), clinically defined as excessive menstrual blood loss which interferes with a woman's physical, emotional, social, and/or material quality of life, is a highly prevalent yet understudied global health problem. This cross-sectional study examines associations between HMB and menstruation-related resources, to understand factors that may contribute to HMB. We conducted secondary analyses of household survey data colle…

  • An exploration of multi-level factors affecting routine linkage to HIV care in Zambia’s Pepfar-supported treatment program in the treat all era

    Open AccessJenala Chipungu, Helene Smith et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Multiple steps from HIV diagnosis to treatment initiation and confirmed engagement with the health system are required for people living with HIV to establish full linkage to care in the modern treat all era. We undertook a qualitative study to gain an in-depth understanding of the impeding and enabling factors at each step of this linkage pathway. In-depth interviews were conducted with fifty-eight people living with HIV recruited from ten routi…

  • Integration of Common Elements Treatment Approach (Ceta) into public sector HIV clinics for unhealthy alcohol use in urban Zambia

    Open AccessMolly E Lasater, Tukiya Kanguya et al.ARTICLESSM - Mental Health2023

    In Sub-Saharan Africa, unhealthy alcohol use (UAU) is a growing threat to achieving ‘the last mile’ towards ending AIDS by 2030. Common Elements Treatment Approach (CETA) is a multisession transdiagnostic cognitive behavioral therapy protocol that can treat a range of common co-morbid mental and behavioral mental health problems, including UAU. In a randomized controlled trial (RCT), we previously reported that CETA was clinically effective in re…

  • Intersection of alcohol use, HIV infection, and the HIV care continuum in Zambia

    Michael J Vinikoor, Izukanji Sikazwe et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2023

    Through a nationally-representative household survey, we measured the prevalence and correlates of unhealthy alcohol use (UAU) in Zambia and its association with the HIV care continuum. Adolescent and adult (ages 15–59 years) data, including the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test-Consumption (AUDIT-C), from the 2016 Zambia Population-based HIV Impact Assessment, were analyzed. UAU was defined as AUDIT-C of 3 + points for women and 4 + for …

  • Alcohol reduction outcomes following brief counseling among adults with HIV in Zambia

    Open AccessMah Asombang, Anna Helova et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Data from sub-Saharan Africa on the impact of alcohol on the HIV epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa is limited. In this region, it is not well understood how people with HIV (PLWHA) respond to alcohol reduction counseling while they are linked to HIV clinical care. We conducted an explanatory sequential mixed-methods study to understand patterns of alcohol use among adults (18+ years) within a prospective HIV cohort at two urban public-sector clinics…

  • Efficacy of the Common Elements Treatment Approach (Ceta) for Unhealthy Alcohol Use Among Adults with HIV in Zambia

  • Menstrual hygiene management in rural schools of Zambia

    Open AccessJoyce Chinyama, Jenala Chipungu et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2019

    When menstruating, schoolgirls in rural Zambia would rather stay home than be uncomfortable, inactive and embarrassed due to inadequate MHM facilities at school. A friendly and supportive MHM environment that provides education, absorbent sanitary materials and adequate WASH facilities is essential to providing equal opportunity for all girls

  • Disentangling the effects of a multiple behaviour change intervention for diarrhoea control in Zambia

    Open AccessKatie Greenland, Jenala Chipungu et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2017

    BACKGROUND: Diarrhoea is a leading cause of child death in Zambia. As elsewhere, the disease burden could be greatly reduced through caregiver uptake of existing prevention and treatment strategies. We recently reported the results of the Komboni Housewives intervention which tested a novel strategy employing motives including affiliation and disgust to improve caregiver practice of four diarrhoea control behaviours: exclusive breastfeeding; hand…

  • Theory-based formative research on oral rehydration salts and zinc use in Lusaka, Zambia

    Open AccessKatie Greenland, Jenala Chipungu et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016

    ORS was sub-optimally prepared and used at home. It was not used while waiting to be seen at a clinic. In homes, the behaviour change intervention should promote early and continued use of correctly prepared ORS. In the longer-term, these behaviours may best be encouraged by changing the product design or sachet size. Despite its unfamiliarity, this population was well disposed to the use of zinc as a treatment for diarrhoea; when zinc is new to …
