  • Informed consent in a tuberculosis genetic study in Cameroon

    Open AccessAli Ibrahim Mohammed-Ali, Eyoab Iyasu Gebremeskel et al.ARTICLEResearch Ethics2022

    Concerns around comprehension and recall of consent information by research participants have typically been associated with low health and research literacy levels. In genomics research, this concern is heightened as the scientific and ethical complexities of genetics research, such as biobanking, genetic susceptibility, data sharing, and incidental findings may be more difficult for potential research participants to understand. However, challe…

  • An analysis of social dimensions of podoconiosis and leprosy on affected households in endemic health districts of the North West Region of Cameroon

    Open AccessAyok M Tembei, Jonas A Kengne-Ouafo et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2022

    This study reveals the quality of life and stigma associated with podoconiosis on affected households to be comparable to that experienced by households with a leprosy patient. There is need for intensified preventive, management and control schemes to fight podoconiosis in Cameroon, just like leprosy

  • Why onchocerciasis transmission persists after 15 annual ivermectin mass drug administrations in South-West Cameroon

    Open AccessMark Taylor, Armelle Forrer et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    INTRODUCTION: Onchocerciasis is targeted for elimination mainly with annual community-directed treatment with ivermectin (CDTI). High infection levels have been reported in South-West Cameroon, despite ≥15 years of CDTI. The aim of this study was to assess factors associated with continued onchocerciasis transmission and skin disease. METHODS: A large-scale cross-sectional study was conducted in 2017 in 20 communities in a loiasis-risk area in So…

  • Implementation research

  • Determination of the predictive factors of long-lasting insecticide-treated net ownership and utilisation in the Bamenda Health District of Cameroon

    Open AccessEric B Fokam, Germaine F Kindzeka et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2017

    These factors may be relevant for policy makers and in decision making for the intensification of campaign strategies to ensure more effective subsequent distribution campaigns in the BHD and beyond

  • Detecting and staging podoconiosis cases in North West Cameroon

    Open AccessSamuel Wanji, Jonas A Kengne-Ouafo et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016

    Podoconiosis being a stigmatized disease, the use of CHIs who are familiar to the community appears appropriate for identifying cases through clinical diagnosis. However, to improve their effectiveness and accuracy, more training, supervision and support are required. More emphasis must be given in identifying early clinical stages and in health districts with relatively lower PPVs

  • Perceptions of consent, permission structures and approaches to the community

    Open AccessJonas A Kengne-Ouafo, Theobald Mue Nji et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    Respondents held relatively sophisticated understanding of consent and were able to outline the structures of permission-giving in the community. Although the structures are unique to these communities, the role of certain trusted groups is common to several other communities in Kenya and Ethiopia explored using similar techniques. The information gained through Rapid Ethical Assessment will form an important guide for future studies in North Wes…
