  • Evaluating the perceived outcome and impact of an integrated knowledge translation approach in the development of an equity reporting guideline

    Open AccessJessica Brown, Omar Dewidar et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Integrated knowledge translation (IKT) involves active engagement of knowledge users in co-producing research, ensuring their perspectives shape study design, analysis, and reporting. This can strengthen justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) considerations. We adopted an IKT approach in developing STROBE-Equity, an equity-focused reporting guidelin extension. The perceived value of embedding JEDI principles in reporting guideline devel…

  • Exploring perspectives of knowledge users about reporting on health equity in observational studies

    Open AccessDana Simpson, Omar Dewidar et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2026

    BACKGROUND: Health inequities arising from systemic factors and contextual conditions result in avoidable and unjust differences in health outcomes, with profound social and economic implications. Health inequities can frequently go unreported in observational studies. Observational studies can uniquely inform how we understand and address persisting health inequities through collecting, reporting and analyzing health equity factors using 'inclus…

  • Scale, Depth and Duration

    Open AccessArne R Wei, Arne R Weiss et al.ARTICLEEuropean Journal of Development…2026Referências: 1

    The study analyses robust, causal evidence of transformational change. We approach this topic by systematically reviewing literature that has the potential to document causal evidence for transformational change across a broad set of interventions and outcomes. Our focus is on evidence found in developing countries to inform climate interventions. We approach this learning exercise directly by looking at the energy sector and indirectly by review…

  • Contribution of the one health approach to strengthening health security in Uganda

    Open AccessHerbert Bakiika, Ekwaro A Obuku et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    This study demonstrates the contribution of 'One Health' implementation in strengthening Uganda's health security. Investment in the funding gaps will reinforce Uganda's health security to achieve the IHR 2005. Future studies could examine the impacts and cost-effectiveness of One Health in curbing prioritized zoonotic disease outbreaks

  • Covid-19 and the law in Uganda

    Open AccessMartha Isabella Achan, Immaculate Nabukenya et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    Countries can enact supportive legislation within the course of an outbreak. The balance of enforcing public health interventions and human rights infringements is an important consideration in future. We recommend public sensitization about legislative provisions and reforms to guide public health responses in future outbreaks or pandemics

  • A comparision of the yield of three tuberculosis screening modalities among people living with HIV

    Open AccessMichael Kakinda, Joseph K B Matovu et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016

    The active screening modalities (e-ICF & i-ICF) had a comparable TB yield and were eight to nine times more efficient in identifying TB cases when compared to the PCF. Cost effectiveness studies would be informative

  • Sensitivity and specificity of clinician administered screening instruments in detecting depression among HIV-positive individuals in Uganda

    Dickens Akena, John A Joska et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2013

    Depressive disorders are highly prevalent in Africa where diseases such as HIV/AIDS are common. The aim of this study was to assess the validity of commonly used depression screening instruments in a setting characterized by low literacy, where patients may not be able to self-administer depression scales. We explored the validity of the Patient Health Questionaire-9 (PHQ-9), Centre for Epidemiological Surveys for Depression (CES-D), and the Kess…

  • Socio-demographic determinants and prevalence of Tuberculosis knowledge in three slum populations of Uganda

    Open AccessEkwaro A Obuku, Clea Meynell et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2012

    This study revealed deficiencies in the public health knowledge about TB symptoms, diagnosis and treatment among urban-slum dwellers in Uganda. Tuberculosis control programmes in similar settings should consider innovative strategies for TB education, advocacy, communication and social mobilisation to reach the youth, unemployed and less-educated; as well as those who have never tested for HIV
