  • Stakeholder perspectives on interventions to improve HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis uptake and continuation in Lesotho

    Open AccessJoy J Chebet, Shannon A Mcmahon et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Low uptake and high discontinuation remain major obstacles to realizing the potential of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) in changing the trajectory of the HIV epidemic. We conducted a card sorting and ranking exercise with 155 local stakeholders to determine their views on the most important barriers and most promising interventions to achieving high PrEP coverage. Stakeholders were a purposive sample of PrEP policymakers and implementing partner…

  • Supporting early-career women researchers

    Open AccessVanessa Brizuela, Joy J Chebet et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2023

    Mentorship is an important contributor to strengthening research capacity among health researchers. Formal mentorship programmes, targeting women mentees can help mitigate some of the gendered power dynamics and can also help early career researchers learn from others' experiences of navigating these challenges. In 2020, the UNDP/UNFPA/UNICEF/WHO/World Bank Special Programme of Research, Development and Research Training in Human Reproduction at …

  • Knowledge and attitudes about HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis

    Open AccessPascal Geldsetzer, Joy J Chebet et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Studies on knowledge and attitudes about HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) have mostly focused on key populations in North America and Europe. To inform Lesotho’s national rollout of PrEP to the general population, this study aimed to characterize knowledge and attitudes about PrEP among policy makers, implementing partners, healthcare providers, and PrEP end-users in Lesotho. Respondents were purposively selected to participate based on person…

  • Local Perceptions, Cultural Beliefs, Practices and Changing Perspectives of Handling Infant Feces

    Open AccessJoy J Chebet, Aminata Kilungo et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2020

    We report on the management of infant feces in a rural village in Geita region, Tanzania. Findings discussed here emerged incidentally from a qualitative study aimed at investigating vulnerability and resilience to health challenges in rural settings. Data was gathered through semi-structured focus group discussions (FDGs) with women ( n = 4; 32 participants), men ( n = 2; 16 participants), and community leaders ( n = 1; 8 participants). All FDGs…

  • Factors affecting early identification of pregnant women by community health workers in Morogoro, Tanzania

    Open AccessGasto Frumence, M Goodman et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2019

    We present a framework for the interaction of factors that affect CHWs' ability to identify pregnant women early in gestation. Further studies need to be conducted investigating optimal workload for CHWs, as well as reasons pregnant women might conceal their pregnancies

  • A qualitative exploration of health workers’ and clients’ perceptions of barriers to completing four antenatal care visits in Morogoro Region, Tanzania

    Open AccessJennifer A Callaghan-Koru, Shannon A Mcmahon et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2016Referências: 39

    Antenatal care (ANC) remains an important contact point on the continuum of care for mothers and children in low- and middle-income countries. In Tanzania, the proportion of pregnant women completing at least four ANC visits (ANC-4) dropped from 70% to 43% between 1999 and 2010. To identify potential causes of the decline in the number of ANC visits, we conducted qualitative research at 18 health centres in Morogoro Region, exploring providers' c…

  • Equally able, but unequally accepted

    Open AccessIsabelle Feldhaus, Marissa Silverman et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2015

    Male and female CHWs in this study have largely similar knowledge and health promotion outputs, but challenges in acceptance of CHW counseling for reproductive health and home visits by unaccompanied CHWs varied by gender. Programs that pair male and female CHWs may potentially overcome gender issues in CHW acceptance, especially if they change gender norms rather than solely accommodate gender preferences

  • Program synergies and social relations

    Open AccessSelena J An, Asha George et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    While providers and pregnant women view program synergies from integrating HIV services into antenatal care positively, lack of supportive provider-patient relationships, lack of trust resulting from harsh treatment or breaches in confidentiality, and stigma still inhibit women's care seeking. As countries continue rollout of Option B+, social relations between patients and providers must be understood and addressed to ensure that integrated deli…
