Spatial analysis of depression and anxiety among frontline health workers during Nigeria’s Covid-19 pandemic: Cross-sectional study
This study highlights significant spatial clustering of anxiety and depression among FHWs in Nigeria, with the highest burden in Southeastern states. Nurses and FHWs with fewer years of practice were particularly vulnerable, indicating the need for targeted mental health interventions. Those with a prior history of psychological distress had lower odds of experiencing anxiety and depression, suggesting potential resilience or coping mechanisms. T…
Acceptance of Covid-19 vaccine among sub-Saharan Africans (SSA): A comparative study of residents and diasporan dwellers
Differences exist in the factors that influence COVID-19 vaccine acceptance between local SSA residents and thediasporan dwellers. Knowledge about COVID-19 vaccines affects the uptake, resistance, and hesitancy to the COVID-19 vaccine. Information campaigns focusing on the efficacy and safety of vaccines could lead to improved acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines
The impact of information sources on Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy and resistance in sub-Saharan Africa
We found that all six information sources except radio were strong predictors of the resistance towards COVID-19 vaccination. Further research on how these channels can be used to improve the availability of reliable healthcare information is needed. Investments in these resources will protect people and empower them to make appropriate choices about their health
Analysis of Perception, Reasons, and Motivations for Covid-19 Vaccination in People with Diabetes across Sub-Saharan Africa: A Mixed-Method Approach
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with severe COVID-19 infection and complications. This study assesses COVID-19 vaccine acceptance and hesitancy in people with DM, and explores the reasons for not being vaccinated. This was a web-based cross-sectional survey using a mixed-method approach conducted in March-May 2021, corresponding to most Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries' early vaccine rollout period. Participants were those aged ≥18 years …
International Research Collaboration During the Pandemic: Team Formation, Challenges, Strategies and Achievements of the African Translational Research Group
This paper discusses multidisciplinary international research collaboration team formation during the COVID-19 pandemic, challenges faced, strategies adopted, achievements and dynamics in the implementation of research on Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), by the African Translational Research Group (ATReG). The paper also discusses the lessons learnt and future opportunities for global collaborative research. In-depth virtual interviews were c…
Differences in Perceived Risk of Contracting Sars-CoV-2 during and after the Lockdown in Sub-Saharan African Countries
This study investigated risk perception of contracting and dying of SARS-CoV-2 in sub-Sahara Africa during and after the lockdown periods. Two online surveys were conducted one year apart, with participants 18 years and above living in sub-Sahara Africa or the diaspora. Each survey took four weeks. The first survey was taken from 18 April to 16 May 2020, i.e., during the lockdown. The second survey was taken from 14 April to 14 May 2021, i.e., af…
Under-5 Mortality and Its Associated Factors in Northern Nigeria: Evidence from 22,455 Singleton Live Births (2013–2018)
The northern geopolitical zones (NGZs) continue to report the highest under-5 mortality rates (U5MRs) among Nigeria's six geopolitical zones. This study was designed to identify factors related to under-5 mortality (U5M) in the NGZs. The NGZ populations extracted from the 2018 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey were explored to assess the factors associated with U5M using logistic regression, generalised linear latent, and mixed models. Betwee…
Prevalence and Factors Associated with Mental and Emotional Health Outcomes among Africans during the Covid-19 Lockdown Period—A Web-based Cross-Sectional Study
Mental health and emotional responses to the effects of COVID-19 lockdown in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are of serious public health concern and may negatively affect the mental health status of people. Hence, this study assessed the prevalence of mental health symptoms as well as emotional reactions among sub-Saharan Africans (SSAs) and associated factors among SSAs during the COVID-19 lockdown period. This was a web-based cross-sectional study on…
Risk perception of Covid-19 among sub-Sahara Africans: A web-based comparative survey of local and diaspora residents
There is a need to promote preventive measures focusing on increasing people's knowledge about COVID-19 and encouraging positive attitudes towards the mitigation measures such as vaccines and education. Such interventions should target the younger population, less educated and non-healthcare workers
