  • Advancing public health leadership through culturally centered and responsive research mentorship training in Nigeria

    Open AccessRifkatu Reng, Manmak Mamven et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    Effective leadership in research and public health is critical to strengthen evidence generation and translation into policy and practice. Mentorship in research and public health is critical to develop leaders, but mentorship training is often ad hoc and may not be effective, particularly when it does not reflect local cultural and academic contextual realities. The Cardiovascular Research Training in Nigeria (CeRTIN) program, a funded partnersh…

  • Design and implementation of a drug revolving fund for hypertension treatment in primary care setting of the Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria

    Open AccessGrace Julcit Shedul, Eugenia N Ugwuneji et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    BACKGROUND: Expanding treatment for hypertension requires ensuring access to affordable, high-quality blood pressure (BP) lowering medications. We describe the design, implementation and evaluation of a BP-lowering medication drug revolving fund (DRF) embedded in the Hypertension Treatment in Nigeria (HTN) Programme in 60 primary healthcare centres (PHCs) in the Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria. METHODS: We used the exploration, preparation, im…

  • Estimated health benefits, costs and cost-effectiveness of eliminating industrial trans - fatty acids in Nigeria

    Open AccessMatti Marklund, Léopold Ndemnge Aminde et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2024

    Introduction Nigeria is committed to reducing industrial trans- fatty acids (iTFA) from the food supply, but the potential health gains, costs and cost-effectiveness are unknown. Methods The effect on ischaemic heart disease (IHD) burden, costs and cost-effectiveness of a mandatory iTFA limit (≤2% of all fats) for foods in Nigeria were estimated using Markov cohort models. Data on demographics, IHD epidemiology and trans- fatty acid intake were d…

  • Projected burden and distribution of elevated blood pressure levels and its consequence among adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa

    Open AccessAlexander Chen, Ana Olga Mocumbi et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2024

    Background: There is minimal data on the number of adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) with elevated blood pressure (BP) at increased risk of future cardiovascular events. Combining country-specific population data with data derived from two previously conducted meta-analyses (one African-specific, one based on international cohorts), we sought to address this knowledge deficit. Methods: We used meta-analysis data from 37 926 adolescents part…

  • Strengthening policy engagement when scaling up interventions targeting non-communicable diseases

    Open AccessAnusha Ramani-Chander, Amanda G Thrift et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2024

    Policy engagement is an essential component of implementation research for scaling up interventions targeting non-communicable diseases (NCDs). It refers to the many ways that research team members, implementers and policymakers, who represent government decision-making, connect and interact to explore common interests. Well-conducted engagement activities foster co-production, local contextualization and assist in the successful translation of r…

  • Nigeria healthcare worker Sars-CoV-2 serology study

    Open AccessDike Ojji, Amelia Sancilio et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Healthcare workers, both globally and in Nigeria, have an increased risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection compared with the general population due to higher risk contacts, including occupational exposures. In addition, primary healthcare workers represent an important group for estimating prior infection to SARS-CoV-2 because they work at the first point-of-contact for most patients yet have not been included in prior COVID-19 seroepidemiology research i…

  • Aligning policymaking in decentralized health systems

    Open AccessWhenayon Simeon Ajisegiri, Seye Abimbola et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2021

    Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are leading causes of death globally and in Nigeria they account for 29% of total deaths. Nigeria’s health system is decentralized. Fragmentation in governance in federalised countries with decentralised health systems is a well-recognised challenge to coherent national health policymaking. The policy response to the rising NCD burden therefore requires strategic intent by national and sub-national governments. Thi…
