Modelling correlates of adolescent and young people viral suppression pathway in Zambia
This study aimed to look into the correlates of viral suppression in HIV-infected adolescents by utilizing Markov renewal multi-state survival models based on the Bayesian Approach, which use a deterministic posterior approximation. We developed a patient-level viral suppression transition framework to quantify the prognostic factors influencing viral suppression. The results showed that HIV-infected adolescents had higher risk of attaining viral…
Data science without borders
Background: Effective public health data science in Africa requires a comprehensive understanding of institutional capabilities across multiple dimensions. This study conducted a multidimensional assessment of three African health institutions to examine the availability of health data, healthcare training, data governance needs, and infrastructure capabilities, to inform the use of data science tools to address health challenges. Methods: The st…
Use of tobacco and nicotine products among adolescents in Sub-Saharan Africa
Introduction: The use of tobacco among adolescents in low- and middle-income countries is a public health issue of concern. The tobacco industry's aggressive marketing tactics target young people in African countries, leading to early initiation of tobacco use. While existing evidence focuses on 13-15-year-olds, data from Sub-Saharan Africa indicates that smoking initiation ranges from as young as 7 years old to around 16 years old. The lack of d…
Trends in sales of sugar-sweetened beverages and associated type 2 diabetes burden in nine African countries
Background Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) are recognized contributors to the global rise in non-communicable diseases. While the link between SSB intake and adverse health outcomes is well established, long-term data from African countries are limited.Objective To assess trends in SSB sales and their associations with type 2 diabetes (T2D) burden across nine African countries from 2010 to 2024.Methods We conducted an ecological time-series anal…
Feasibility and impact of a patient support group care model on diabetes and hypertension care in informal settlements in Nairobi, Kenya
Background A support group care model including self-financing is a promising strategy to improve care for patients with diabetes or hypertension in resource-constrained settings.Objectives We investigated the uptake, feasibility, and impact of a self-financing patient support group care model on cardiometabolic parameters among adult patients with uncontrolled diabetes or hypertension in informal settlements in Nairobi, Kenya.Methods A two-group…
Recovery and long-term health outcomes of Sars-CoV-2 infection in a prospective cohort in an urban setting, Kenya
Background Evidence on long COVID remains limited in sub-Saharan countries.Objective This study explored the occurrence of COVID-19-related symptoms and factors affecting recovery and long COVID severity in Nairobi, Kenya.Methods A prospective cohort of individuals testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 between February 2022 and February 2023 was followed until June 2023. COVID-19-related symptoms were assessed every three months. Time to recovery was a…
Balancing protection of participants and other stakeholders with openness
National and international data sharing in health research is critical for advancing scientific discovery and fostering collaborative partnerships. With growing technological advances and an increasing desire for open science, data sharing enables researchers to access diverse datasets to generate novel insights. Adopting robust policies is key to responsible data sharing, which fosters interdisciplinary collaboration, ensures ethical and legal c…
Factors associated with self-reported diagnosis of depression in Kenya
The proportion of participants who self-reported depression was low. Besides, there was a considerable variation in self-reported depression across different counties in Kenya. Furthermore, there was variability in depression among different socio-demographic groups. Therefore, there is a need to target mental health interventions to persons with chronic conditions and those in middle economic class as they are greatly affected with depression
Magnitude, trends, transitions, and drivers of the double burden of malnutrition among adolescent girls in urban slums, Kenya
The prevalence of overweight/obesity, as well as transitions to overweight/obesity were higher compared to undernutrition (stunting and thinness). Double-duty and multi-sectoral interventions that consider demographic (family, ethnicity), environmental (neighbourhood, school), and psychosocial (ACE, depression score) factors that may drive DBM in adolescent girls living in urban slums are recommended, to address DBM and reverse the growing trend …
Examining the complex dynamics influencing acute malnutrition in Turkana and Samburu counties
Acute malnutrition in children under 5 years is persistent in Eastern Africa's arid and semiarid lands. This study aimed to identify the drivers of acute malnutrition in Turkana and Samburu counties, Kenya. This was a population-based longitudinal mixed-methods observational study. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected at Wave 1, but only quantitative data were collected during follow-up. Participants were a representative sample of ch…
Attitudes and perceptions towards epilepsy in an onchocerciasis-endemic region of Tanzania
Despite high awareness of epilepsy, there is insufficient understanding, negative attitudes, and perceptions, including misconceptions and stigma about this neurologic condition. Community-based education programmes are essential for promoting proper healthcare-seeking behaviour and dispelling myths
Sars-CoV-2 incidence monitoring and statistical estimation of the basic and time-varying reproduction number at the early onset of the pandemic in 45 sub-Saharan African countries
The world battled to defeat a novel coronavirus 2019 (SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19), a respiratory illness that is transmitted from person to person through contacts with droplets from infected persons. Despite efforts to disseminate preventable messages and adoption of mitigation strategies by governments and the World Health Organization (WHO), transmission spread globally. An accurate assessment of the transmissibility of the coronavirus remained a …
Determinants of under-five mortality in informal settlements in Nairobi, Kenya from 2002 to 2018
Under-five mortality is still high in urban informal settlements. Targeted public health interventions such as vaccinations and interventions empowering women such as single mothers, those with multiple pregnancies, and more impoverished slums are needed to further reduce under-five mortality in urban informal settlements
Multimorbidity in African ancestry populations
OBJECTIVES: Multimorbidity (MM) is a growing concern linked to poor outcomes and higher healthcare costs. While most MM research targets European ancestry populations, the prevalence and patterns in African ancestry groups remain underexplored. This study aimed to identify and summarise the available literature on MM in populations with African ancestry, on the continent, and in the diaspora. DESIGN: A scoping review was conducted in five databas…
Impact of Urban Slum Residence on Coverage of Maternal, Neonatal, and Child Health Service Indicators in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana
Among other focus areas, the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 3 and 11 seek to advance progress toward universal coverage of maternal, neonatal, and child health (MNCH) services and access to safe and affordable housing and basic services by 2030. Governments and development agencies have historically neglected the health and well-being associated with living in urban slums across major capital cities in sub-Saharan Africa since health…
Characterization of Healthy Housing in Africa
Housing is a key social determinant of health with implications for both physical and mental health. The measurement of healthy housing and studies characterizing the same in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are uncommon. This study described a methodological approach employed in the assessment and characterization of healthy housing in SSA using the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) data for 15 countries and explored healthy housing determinants using…
