Effectiveness and cost of an incentive-based intervention on food safety and income in "dibiteries" in Dakar, Senegal (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Rapid urbanisation in Sub-Saharan African cities such as Dakar, Senegal, leads to proliferation of informal braised meat restaurants known as "dibiteries". Dibiteries do not often comply w
Synergies between COVID-19 and climate change impacts and responses (Publications)
The COVID-19 pandemic and anthropogenic climate change are global crises. We show how strongly these crises are connected, including the underlying societal inequities and problems of poverty, substan
Diagnostic performance and comparison of ultrasensitive and conventional rapid diagnostic test, thick blood smear and quantitative PCR for detection... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Progress towards malaria elimination has stagnated, partly because infections persisting at low parasite densities comprise a large reservoir contributing to ongoing malaria transmission a
"<em>In starvation, a bone can also be meat</em>": a mixed methods evaluation of factors associated with discarding of long-lasting insecticidal nets... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Between 2000 and 2019, more than 1.8 billion long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) were distributed in Africa. While the insecticidal durability of LLINs is around 3 years, nets are commo
Cumulative antibiotic exposure in the first five years of life: estimates for 45 low- and middle-income countries from demographic and health survey... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Estimates of the total cumulative exposure to antibiotics of children in low-resource settings, and the source of these treatments, are limited. METHODS: We estimated the average number of
An evidence synthesis approach for combining different data sources illustrated using entomological efficacy of insecticides for indoor residual... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Prospective malaria public health interventions are initially tested for entomological impact using standardised experimental hut trials. In some cases, data are collated as aggregated cou
Comparison of traditional cox regression and causal modeling to investigate the association between long-term air pollution exposure and natural-cause... (Publications)
Most studies investigating the health effects of long-term exposure to air pollution used traditional regression models, although causal inference approaches have been proposed as alternative. However
