  • Stakeholder perspectives on the barriers and facilitators to integrating cardiovascular disease and diabetes management at primary care in Kenya

    Open AccessElvis Omondi Achach Wambiya, James Odhiambo Oguta et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Integrated care is increasingly recognised as a key strategy for the management of multimorbidity. However, evidence on the factors associated with the implementation of integrated care models in low- and middle-income countries remains limited. We explored how stakeholders perceived integrated care, existing challenges, and recommendations for integrating cardiovascular disease and diabetes management at primary health care (PHC) level in Kenya.…

  • Growing roots

    Open AccessDestiny Otoadese, Issa Kamara et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    The findings contribute to a growing body of evidence on the embodied benefits of community gardens for food security and social place-making of immigrant populations. High interest and engagement in gardening activities in the population suggests potential for expansion of community-led initiatives to support social and cultural integration of immigrant. This is important to Alberta's and to Canada's current and future sustainable economic and s…

  • Exploring neighborhood transformations and community gardens to meet the cultural food needs of immigrants and refugees

    Open AccessElizabeth Opiyo Onyango, Elizabeth Onyango et al.ARTICLEHealth & Place2025

    International migration is contributing to changes in the sociocultural and the economic landscapes of many cities in the world. As part of the changes in cities, we are witnessing an increased use of community gardens as spaces for wellbeing restoration, for social connection, and for addressing the challenge of food insecurity, particularly cultural food insecurity. Cultural food security is one major under-recognized issue, yet is pivotal to a…

  • Identifying the necessary capacities for the adaptation of a diabetes phenotyping algorithm in countries of differing economic development status

    Open AccessAngela Jackson‐Morris, Angela Mary Jackson-Morris et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2023

    BACKGROUND: In 2019, the World Health Organization recognised diabetes as a clinically and pathophysiologically heterogeneous set of related diseases. Little is currently known about the diabetes phenotypes in the population of low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), yet identifying their different risks and aetiology has great potential to guide the development of more effective, tailored prevention and treatment. OBJECTIVES: This study review…

  • Accuracy of computer-aided chest X-ray in community-based tuberculosis screening

    Open AccessBrenda Mungai, Jane Rahedi Ong’ang’o et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Community-based screening for tuberculosis (TB) could improve detection but is resource intensive. We set out to evaluate the accuracy of computer-aided TB screening using digital chest X-ray (CXR) to determine if this approach met target product profiles (TPP) for community-based screening. CXR images from participants in the 2016 Kenya National TB Prevalence Survey were evaluated using CAD4TBv6 (Delft Imaging), giving a probabilistic score for …

  • Longitudinal-Survival Models for Case-Based Tuberculosis Progression

    Open AccessRichard Kiplimo, Mathew Kosgei et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2021

    Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) disease continues to be responsible for a high global burden with an estimated 10 million people falling ill each year and an estimated 1.45 million deaths. Widely carried out analyses to utilize routine data coming from this disease, and well-established in literature, have paid attention to time-to-event with sputum smear results being considered only at baseline or even ignored. Also, logistic regression models …

  • Effectiveness of zinc-fortified water on zinc intake, status and morbidity in Kenyan pre-school children

    Open AccessProsper Kujinga, Valeria Galetti et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2018

    Objective Zn deficiency and diarrhoea are prevalent and may coexist in children living in low-resource settings. Recently, a novel approach for delivering Zn via microbiologically treated, Zn-fortified water was shown to be effective in improving Zn status in West African schoolchildren. We assessed the effectiveness of Zn-fortified, microbiologically purified water delivered as a household intervention on Zn intake, status and morbidity in child…
