Using Mid-Upper Arm Circumference z-score (Muacz) tapes for community-based assessment and monitoring of nutrition risks among young children
In 2023, Community Health Volunteers (CHVs) and the Ministry of Health (MOH) staff were trained to use the novel MUAC z-score (MUACz) tape for household anthropometric measurements in southwestern Kenya as part of a randomized controlled trial titled ALIMUS-We are Feeding! In this qualitative study, we aimed to understand the experiences and lessons learned from using the MUACz tape for screening and monitoring among health professionals. In this…
Reduced rank regression-derived dietary patterns related to climate-sensitive micronutrients and their associations with child undernutrition among young children in rural Kenya
Undernutrition among children remains a global public health challenge in sub-Saharan Africa. This study examined the associations of dietary patterns related to climate-sensitive micronutrients with undernutrition among children aged 6–23 months in Siaya County, Kenya. We used cross-sectional baseline data of 626 mother-child pairs from a cluster-randomized controlled trial on nutrition counselling and home gardening. Dietary patterns and food i…
Acceptability of cool roofs
Providing communities with technical information regarding how the cool roof functions and can be maintained may support uptake via acceptability. Desirability of the roof may be achieved via a combination of highlighting the indoor cooling of the roof as reported by users, sharing of results with the community so that they have an insight into the effects of the roof, and feedback regarding the products useability and durability
Institutional barriers to climate change and health adaptation in Burkina Faso
West African countries, such as Burkina Faso are particularly vulnerable to an array of health impacts due to climate change. Consequently, Burkina Faso has drafted and implemented adaptation plans and programmes, with varying levels of success. This exploratory qualitative study examines the institutional barriers faced by policymakers in this process, particularly in the health system of concern. We applied in-depth interviews with policymakers…
Sustainable home gardens in Western Kenya
Populations living in rural sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) increasingly face negative climate change impacts on their nutrition and health status. For smallholder farming families, home gardens can serve as an adaptation strategy, by offsetting climate change-related harvest losses and diversifying households' diets. The present study aimed to identify perceptions and experiences among rural caregivers of children under five years and local stakeholder…
Climate Change, Health Risks, and Vulnerabilities in Burkina Faso
Climate change (CC) constitutes one of the greatest threats to human health, and requires political awareness for effective and efficient adaptation planning. This study identified the perceptions of climate change and health adaptation (CC&H) among relevant stakeholders, decision-makers, and policymakers (SDPs) in Burkina Faso (BF) by determining their perceptions of CC, of related health risks and vulnerabilities, and of CC impacts on agricultu…
We Will Always Ask Ourselves the Question of How to Feed the Family”
In West Africa, climate change aggravates subsistence farmers' vulnerability to weather variability to sustain their agricultural and nutritional requirements. For successful adaptation policies, in-depth understanding of farmers' perceptions about climate change, agriculture, and adaptation strategies is essential. This qualitative study in rural Burkina Faso characterized farmers' perceptions and knowledge through in-depth interviews. The study…
