  • Prevalence, spatial and temporal distribution of tungiasis in the Kilifi Health and Demographic Surveillance System (KHDSS) in Kenya

    Open AccessNelson Ouma, Samuel K Muchiri et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2026

    INTRODUCTION: Tungiasis is a highly neglected tropical disease of the skin caused by an embedded female sand flea affecting the most resource-poor communities in sub-Saharan Africa, the Caribbean and South America. The global disease burden is unknown and systematic, fine-resolution spatial data on prevalence and environmental and ecological risk factors are rare. METHODS: We leveraged the Kilifi Health and Demographic Surveillance System of 90 2…

  • Impact of DREAMS interventions on experiences of violence among adolescent girls and young women

    Open AccessElvis Omondi Achach Wambiya, Annabelle Gourlay et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    DREAMS aims to reduce HIV incidence among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) by tackling drivers of HIV risk including gender-based violence. We evaluate the impact of DREAMS on recent experiences of violence perpetuated by men against AGYW. AGYW cohorts were randomly selected from demographic platforms in South Africa (rural KwaZulu-Natal) and Kenya (Nairobi informal settlements and rural Gem sub-county). AGYW aged 13–22 years were enrolled…

  • Early impact of the DREAMS partnership on young women’s knowledge of their HIV status

    Open AccessIsolde Birdthistle, Deborah J Carter et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2022Referências: 20

    BACKGROUND: Knowledge of one's HIV status is the gateway to treatment and prevention, but remains low among young people. We investigated the early impact (2016-2017) of Determined, Resilient, Empowered, AIDS-free, Mentored and Safe (DREAMS), a multisectoral HIV prevention package, on knowledge of HIV status among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW). METHODS: In 2017, randomly selected AGYW were enrolled into surveys, N=1081 aged 15-22 years …

  • Reaching early adolescents with a complex intervention for HIV prevention

    Open AccessSarah Mulwa, Jane Osindo et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    Uptake of DREAMS interventions among a representative sample of EAG was high and quickly increased over the implementation period. The majority accessed multiple interventions, indicating that it is feasible to integrate and deliver a package of interventions to EAG in a challenging informal context

  • Depressive symptoms as predictors of sexual experiences among very young adolescent girls in slum communities in Nairobi, Kenya

    Open AccessBeatrice W Maina, Benedict Orindi et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2020

    Mental health issues are a predisposing factor for HIV acquisition. We examined the association between depressive symptoms and patterns of sexual experience among girls aged 10-14 years living in Korogocho and Viwandani slums in Nairobi, Kenya. We analysed data collected in 2017 from a random sample of 606 girls. Using Latent Class Analysis, we modelled patterns of sexual experiences and used multivariable regression analysis to determine the as…

  • Awareness and uptake of layered HIV prevention programming for young women

    Open AccessAnnabelle Gourlay, Isolde Birdthistle et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2019

    In representative population-based samples, awareness and uptake of DREAMS were high after 1 year of implementation. Evidence of 'layering' (receiving multiple interventions from the DREAMS core package), particularly among more socio-economically vulnerable AGYW, indicate that intervention packages can be implemented at scale, for intended recipients, in real-world contexts. Challenges remain for higher coverage and greater 'layering', including…

  • Contribution of HCAHPS Specific Care Experiences to Global Ratings Varies Across 7 Countries

    Benedict O Orindi, Benedict Orindi et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2019Referências: 30

    BACKGROUND: Given the increased international interest in improvement strategies for patient experiences with care, it is important to understand whether the same specific care experiences affect global ratings across countries. Moreover, reporting of these global ratings currently substantially varies in both research and public reporting. OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this study were to examine the differential magnitude of associations between…

  • Impact of Cross-level Measurement Noninvariance on Hospital Rankings Based on Patient Experiences With Care in 7 European Countries

    Benedict O Orindi, Benedict Orindi et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2017Referências: 40

    BACKGROUND: Hospital-level findings on patient experiences with care are increasingly reported publicly. A critical aspect left unexamined is the commonality of composite measures of patient experiences across different groups of patients, nursing units, hospitals, and countries. Absence of commonality is termed measurement noninvariance and is hypothesized to have a strong impact on performance assessment. AIM: The aim of this study is to examin…
