Housing conditions and respiratory health in children in mining communities: an analysis of data from 27 countries in sub-Saharan Africa (Publications)
influence the socioeconomic status of households, which, in turn, affect housing quality and individual behaviors and, thus, housing quality and levels of indoor air pollution. In this study, we aimed to [...] Surveys (DHS) with georeferenced data on mining projects in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) to determine associations between housing quality, indoor air pollution sources, and child respiratory health. Spatial differences [...] Background Poor housing conditions, such as poor building materials...

Obstacles to prompt and effective malaria treatment lead to low community-coverage in two rural districts of Tanzania (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Malaria is still a leading child killer in sub-Saharan Africa. Yet, access to prompt and effective malaria treatment, a mainstay of any malaria control strategy, is sub-optimal in many settings
