Changes in socioeconomic determinants of health in a copper mine development area, northwestern Zambia (Publications)
In 2011, an industrial copper mine was developed in northwestern Zambia. A health impact assessment was conducted to anticipate and address potential health impacts. To monitor these impacts, three co [...] community-based surveys were conducted in the area (2011, 2015 and 2019). We analysed these data to determine how household socioeconomic indicators – considered determinants of health – have changed in [...] in the area over time.

Mass distribution of free insecticide-treated nets do not interfere with continuous net distribution in Tanzania (Publications)
In an ecologic study involving all regions of Tanzania, voucher redemption data for the period 2007-2011, as well as data on potential determinants of voucher redemption were analysed. The four outcome variables [...] consistent improvement in voucher redemption rates over the selected time period, with rates > 80% in 2011. The major determinants of redemption rates were the top-up price paid by the voucher beneficiary [...] there was a consistent improvement in net use across all the regions,...

Cross-sectional associations between air pollution and chronic bronchitis: an ESCAPE meta-analysis across five cohorts (Publications)
traffic measures modelled from ESCAPE measurement campaigns 2008-2011 were assigned to home address at most recent assessments (1998-2011). Symptoms examined were chronic bronchitis (cough and phlegm for [...] 537 participants respectively were included in the main NO2 and PM analyses at assessments in 1998-2011. Overall, there were no statistically significant associations with any air pollutant or traffic exposure
