NIHR HPSR-DA: Accelerating the... development of Health Policy and Systems Research capacity in Western Pacific Region for health system strengthening
more
|
Health systems in many countri...es in the WHO Western Pacific Region (WPR) must respond to changing health needs driven by demographic and economic transition, demanding strengthening of universal health coverage and health system reforms. Yet there is limited health policy and systems research (HPSR) capacity to inform these changes. This project will build HPSR capacity, which is critical to strengthening health systems. A training programme based on global HPSR competencies will be implemented in Malaysia and extended to other WPR countries where there is buy-in, with the aim of creating an international community of practice and a body of policy-relevant research to support health reform. It will be delivered by a consortium comprising the Institute for Health Systems Research (IHSR), the United Nations University-International Institute for Global Health (UNU-IIGH), University of the Philippines Manila (UP Manila) and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine(LSHTM).

DISTRIBUTED INTELLIGENT ULTRAS...OUND IMAGING SYSTEM FOR SECURE IN-COMMUNITY DIAGNOSTICS (SECUREULTRASOUND)
more

Distributed Intelligent Ultras...ound Imaging System for Secure in-community Diagnostics (SecureUltrasound)
more
|
The proposed research is going... to develop low cost, secure, point of care ultrasound imaging for prenatal care for India. The availability of skilled technician or doctor that can conduct ultrasound scanning for pregnant mothers in remote areas is a major challenge in India. Usage of diagnostics ultrasound in India has also been controversial because of its extensive misuse for sex-selective abortions. Indian government introduced legislation back in 1994 to ban the disclosure of foetus gender through the PC-PNDT (Pre-Conception and Prenatal Diagnostic Techniques) Act and continuously tightened regulation to limit such misuse, these efforts have had limited or no effect on the ground. The nature and scale of the problem is unique to India. A secure ultrasound scanning system with guided image capture and a remote diagnostic service, that can work in rural areas in India, is essential to significantly improve the prenatal care, health assessment and wellbeing for the baby and the mother. The Indian challenge is also valid in other Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs) on the OECD DAC list of ODA recipients, such as African states. The proposed research builds on state of the art freehand 3D ultrasound technology, care pathway modelling and design, cloud based framework for ultrasound image analysis, servitization of the healthcare provision and augmented reality based digital medical assistant for prenatal scanning. This research will build on the existing research and investigate new technology development to address the 'skills shortage' and 'selective abortion' challenges in India during prenatal care. The research will bring the best universities and research institutes in India to work directly with Cranfield University to solve this social challenge using latest technologies. This research will build capability and capacity in less-skilled ultrasound scanning for prenatal care with no visual feedback during scanning in India. The research will start with a two weeks long stakeholder interaction in India and intensive literature review. The interaction will involve direct prenatal care observation in unstructured rural areas, rural healthcare centres, semi-urban municipality areas, urban deprived areas and modern hospitals as per the ethical guidelines of India. A shorter interaction will take place with three surgeries and three hospitals in the UK. Engaging with the end user to better understand their expectations and requirements will be a major focus of this part of the research. The requirements will be the basis for the ultrasound scanning system development, starting with a concept design. The system will have two major components: the ultrasound transmit and receive system with customised ultrasound transducer and the AR based data capture assistant. Working prototypes of the technologies will be built for controlled clinical validations. During the research across the two countries, ethical guidelines and processes will be imple

There are two prongs to the project. First, working in collaboration with USHA Multipurpose Cooperative, it will construct a unique panel data set of 10,000+ sex workers in Kolkata, India by merging three existing data sets containing, respectively, financial information (savings accounts, loans obtained and repayment history of individual sex workers), health related data in 9 intervention sites in Kolkata alone (health seeking behaviour, regular check-ups, condom use, findings of the clinical examination and treatment received, lab investigations data on HIV and sexually transmitted diseases), (iii) contextual data collected through Self-regulatory Board [SRB] for all new entrants in sex work (including age [determined by Radiological examination], report of clinical examination, socio economic status, family background, reasons for choosing sex work and any underlying coercion forcing the entrant to choose sex work etc) and exposure to training provided by USHA. This novel data set will be used to examine how financial and health behaviour correlate with each other, how initial conditions (age, variations initial socio-economic status, family back ground, exposure to coercion) matters for the financial and health outcomes of sex workers over time. It will also enable an examination of the of how the contracts used by sex workers impact on their welfare. Being poor or marginalized often brings with it considerable stigma, which can greatly distort a person's self-image, resulting in a 'spoiled identity' (Goffman, 1963). As this author notes in his classic work on stigma, '[t]hose who have dealings with [the stigmatized individual] fail to accord him respect and regard ..., he echoes this denial by finding that some of his own attributes warrant it'. In a randomized control trial (Ghosal et. al. 2019), the impact of a psychological intervention, 'dreambuilding', pioneered by Durbar (the sex worker's collective which set up USHA) was evaluated. It was found that exposure to dream building resulted in significant improvements in participants' self-image, as well as their savings and preventive health choices. Additionally, changes in savings and health behaviour persist up to 15 and 21 months later respectively. In work partially funded by a IAA GCRF NGO DATA AWARD (ES/S501323/1), a data set for a sample for a sample of 600 women (300 of whom had been exposed to some form of dream building and 300 who hadn't) USHA systematically gathered existing records, going back to the past three years (after the initial fieldwork), of women belonging to the community of sex workers in Kolkata and elsewhere in West Bengal with a focus qualitative and quantitative evidence relating to outcomes by linking their existing data sets (the number of women exposed t

Extending an inter-generationa...l cohort to develop a multimorbidity research platform in rural and urbanising India
more
|
In India, people that have mor...e than one long-term health condition ('multimorbidity') are more likely to have high healthcare costs, which they usually pay out-of-pocket, and to be disabled which can affect their ability to work. As a result, multimorbidity can impact the economic well-being of people's families, potentially pushing them below the poverty line. Rural and urbanising communities are particularly vulnerable to rapid rises in multimorbidity because social changes are affecting behaviours (e.g. people are eating more processed foods) and environmental exposures (e.g. rising air pollution from traffic), while old, poverty-related health issues (e.g. malnutrition) remain common. Healthcare is also lacking in these areas, so people can struggle to manage their conditions. As a result of these factors, rising multimorbidity could inhibit future development in rural and urbanising areas. As such, it is important to understand what causes multimorbidity, so that we can develop ways to prevent it. This study will build on work done over the past 30 years in 29 villages on the outskirts of Hyderabad city, Telangana. The study team has previously collected detailed health data on families within these villages (the Andhra Pradesh Children and Parents Study) (~5% of the village population, N=6,972, aged ~22-50 in 2010-12) who were involved in a trial of nutritional supplements for pregnant women and young children in the 1980s. Our ultimate aim is to follow this cohort up over the long-term to see how conditions develop and cluster together at different life-stages, to examine what causes these clusters, and to develop ways to target these causes to prevent multimorbidity developing. We will particularly investigate how factors at early-life (e.g. malnutrition) and related to the rapidly changing environment (e.g. air pollution) are linked to multimorbidity, as their impact on multimorbidity has not been assessed. Nevertheless, we need to do considerable groundwork to be able to do this accurately. This current study will analyse previously collected data to understand which clusters of conditions and potential causes are important in the local community. We will also collect data on the presence of chronic conditions in the older sub-group of the cohort (N=~2,000, aged ~60 in 2020), who are more likely to experience multiple conditions. This will be analysed in combination with previously collected data (2010) and used to calculate how many community members we need to study to accurately quantify the impact of potential causes on the risk of multimorbidity. We will also interview people with varying severities of multimorbidity (and their family members) and conduct focus-group discussions with wider community members, to understand how multimorbidity affects people's lives and what they wish APCAPs to prioritise and research in the future. A final goal is to investigate how feasible it would be to develop a system that automatically collect

Enabling Clinical Decisions Fr...om Low-power MRI In Developing Nations Through Image Quality Transfer
more
|
The long-term vision motivatin...g this project is of software solutions that enable low-power cheap-and-sustainable imaging devices able to provide point-of-care image data in resource-poor locations at diagnostic/prognostic quality. We achieve this by propagating information from databases of high quality images. We provide a proof of concept using MRI from lower-power scanners available in LMICs, specifically Nigeria, that we enhance by propagating information from databases of images from state-of-the-art MRI scanners available in the UK. We focus on an application to childhood epilepsy to demonstrate early clinical benefit. Childhood epilepsy presents an immediate clinical need in LMICs, as MRI from widely available 0.36T scanners is insufficient to support clinical decisions on curative surgery that are routinely made in the UK using 1.5T or 3T images. This leaves many patients untreated, living with severe epilepsy and resulting physical disabilities and mental disorders, unable to work effectively, and draining sparse medical and social-care resources. We draw on the latest advances in machine learning to approximate the MRIs available in the UK from those accessible in the paediatric neurology clinic in UCH Ibadan, Nigeria - a typical sub-Saharan city hospital. Machine learning has made major advances over the last few years. In particular, it shows remarkable feats of artificial intelligence in data-rich application areas such as computer vision where, for example, computers now outperform humans in object recognition. The advances are just starting to make an impact in medical imaging, which presents unique challenges because a) less data is available than many non-medical computer vision tasks, b) decisions are often more critical as they impact directly on patient outcome. Our recent image quality transfer (IQT) framework propagates information from high quality to low quality medical images. It shows compelling early results, such as revealing thin white matter pathways, usually only accessible from specialist high resolution data sets, from standard resolution images acquired on a clinical scanner. Here we advance IQT to exploit the latest machine learning techniques, enhance those techniques to provide confidence measures valuable for medical decision-making, and tailor solutions specifically to enhance images from the Ibadan paediatric clinic with those from similar cohorts in the UK. We acquire and collate the data sets sufficient to support learning the required image-to-image mappings. Matched pairs of images from the same subjects from UK and Nigerian scanners are not practical to obtain, so we employ unsupervised and semi-supervised learning to construct image-to-image mappings without directly matching training data. We refine promising implementations and assess their impact on clinical decision making in a pilot study in Ibadan using locally agreed metrics. We intend this project as a springboard for a much wider and l

The Philippines is a Lower Mid...dle Income Country (LMIC) with a population of 100 million. The country's geography with many isolated rural areas, the poverty levels (25% live below the poverty line) and the weak infrastructure make equitable access to health care for the population a big challenge. Clinicians in the Philippines usually do not want to work as primary care doctors in rural areas. Only 10% of the country's clinicians work in these areas where more than half of the population lives. The shortage of primary care doctors in such regions is one of the most urgent challenges for public health in the Philippines. This is also the case in other LMICs as well as countries in the global north. Likewise in the UK there are many rural areas faced with a shortage of health professionals. Another change in the health landscape is that people around the world are living longer and the disease burden is being increasingly dominated by disability instead of people dying early. The main causes of death and disability have changed from communicable diseases in children to non-communicable diseases in adults (for instance, mental health, musculoskeletal diseases, strokes, diabetes). To address these problems in a cost and clinically effective way, strong evidence-based systems of primary care are essential to identify healthcare needs and to develop and implement strategies for addressing those needs. It is precisely around those areas the partnership will work: equal distribution of health workers and efficient primary care for people with non-communicable diseases. SOLACE brings together researchers from different disciplines (medicine, arts and humanities) who are keen to work with colleagues who they would not normally work with. The partnership activities will allow these researchers from Keele University (UK) and Ateneo de Manila University (Philippines) to learn new research methods and to use original ways to bring the results to several stake holders: academics, governmental and community organisations and, most importantly, the people living in rural and remote areas. We will establish two SOLACE health hubs in Northern Samar, a rural province in the Philippines. About 60 participants (patients, doctors, community workers and local politicians) will come together for a Cultural Animation workshop in these hubs. Over a period of 10 months all participants will create artistic, personal health diaries. They will also get together every month for a discussion group and will meet a SOLACE researcher on a regular basis who will carry out fieldwork in the participants' home and work environments. The health diaries (in many formats: texts, songs, drawings, films, pictures), the discussion group and fieldwork data will be analysed by the Keele and Ateneo teams. The Keele team will visit Northern Samar for a fieldwork trip and the Ateneo team will travel to Keele for a research and capacity building week. Also two cultural exchange visits with Kee

Verbal Autopsy with Participat...ory Action Research (VAPAR): expanding the knowledge base through partnerships for action on health equity

|
Health systems can be consider...ed as the products of human relationships: between patients and health workers, managers and policy makers, communities and governments. As a whole, these relationships establish norms of who is eligible for care and what can be expected from the health system. In poor countries where health services are weak and under-funded, care that is unaffordable and unavailable can become socially normal. Communities and health workers have substantial knowledge of these norms and interactions and how health policy is 'brought alive' through them. Their voices are often overlooked in the routine design and delivery of services however. The project will address this situation by institutionalising processes to: (1) strengthen systems to record and report on deaths, their causes and circumstances, (2) enable the voices of people excluded from access to health systems on their needs and priorities for action, and, (3) act on this information with health workers, managers, planners and policy makers. The process will collect data, analyse, plan and act, and demonstrate an ability to bring about change in partnership with those for whom the situations are most directly relevant. Practical research that is understood and 'owned' by end users in an action-oriented process will strengthen relationships between patients, health workers and policy makers to support and sustain positive change. The research builds on development work providing actionable health information for poor and rural groups in South Africa. Rural villages in South Africa represent many settings in the region, with deeply entrenched poverty, inequality, avoidable illness, and weak health systems where many deaths go undocumented and uncounted. The development work has adapted Verbal Autopsy, a method used in many poor countries to establish the causes of death for people who die without a doctor present. The research has introduced a system to record new information in Verbal Autopsy on factors such as transport and hospital admissions. In developing countries these processes can play a critical role in survival, and documenting them provides important information for health service provision. The development work has also tapped into local knowledge on long standing health problems by building partnerships with communities. Using Participatory Action Research, we have developed understandings of the social issues affecting health, and how these affect people's interactions with care. Participatory Action Research provides a route to involve those in the greatest need in health services. This can empower disadvantaged groups to have more of a say in health systems, in turn strengthening people's abilities to protect and promote their health. We have worked with the health authority throughout, considering what the data are telling us, and how changes can be implemented to respond to the issues identified. The project will extend the development work into an

The University of York (UoY) n...uclear applications group is presently running a one-year GCRF project called NuTRAIN with University of Western Cape (UWC) and University of Zululand (UZ) in South Africa. They are transferring expertise in working with scintillators and silicon photomultipliers which can be applied to applications in environmental monitoring, experimental nuclear physics and medicine. Six South African students have visited York to receive training and funds have been provided to establish small detector development laboratories at UWC and UZ. The present MANDELA project intends to build on this initial training in the form of a genuine distributed project to develop the components for a new and inexpensive type of positron emission tomography (PET) scanner for medical imaging. This will be based on plastic scintillator and make use of a newly developed UK-based supply chain for plastic scintillator established by LabLogic, a company based in Sheffield close by to UoY. Students in South Africa will be trained to carry out GEANT4 simulations - a method that allows the response of radiation detectors to be studied and hence, novel detectors can be designed. Importantly, UoY will provide these simulations 'in the cloud' avoiding the need for high performance computers based locally. The simulations could even be run on a web browser or on a smartphone. Based on the simulations, prototype detectors will be fabricated. Based on training received at York, the SA students will evaluate these and determine the best silicon photomultipliers and fibre optic configurations for scintillation light detection. The MANDELA project will provide funding to upgrade their detector laboratory so they can undertake the necessary work. The project will lead to a solid design for the basic components of a novel PET scanner which can be pursued through a further collaborative R&D phase or move rapidly to commercialisation.

SELF-MANAGEMENT APPROACHES FOR... INDIVIDUALS WITH MULTIPLE CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS IN RURAL SOUTH AFRICA

Self-management approaches for... individuals with multiple chronic health conditions in rural South Africa
more
|
Chronic health conditions, inc...luding non-communicable diseases (NCDs), mental disorders, and certain long-term infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS have emerged as leading causes of morbidity and mortality in low and middle-income countries including South Africa (SA). This growing burden demands an innovative response. As most of the management of chronic diseases, which includes taking medication, making lifestyle changes, or undertaking preventive action occurs in homes, communities and outpatient settings, it involves patients, their carers or both making the day-to-day decisions about what actions to take. Involvement of patients in the management of their care for chronic diseases is referred to as self-management. A prerequisite for self-management to be effective is self-monitoring which is the 'ability to monitor one's condition to effect the cognitive, behavioural and emotional responses necessary to maintain a satisfactory quality of life'. Self-monitoring broadly includes the monitoring of clinical parameters (such as weight, blood pressure, blood glucose and lung function), symptom measures (such as fatigue, stress and pain) and features of daily life (such as physical activities, dietary intake, and sleep patterns). Key attributes of self-monitoring are: (i) awareness of bodily symptoms, sensations, daily activities, and cognitive processes and, (ii) measurements, recordings, or observations that inform cognition and provide information for independent action or consultation with care providers. As health-related behaviours and practices are known to be distinctly different between geographical settings and between individuals within a particular setting, similarly is the case of self-monitoring of personal health. Evidence from high income settings has demonstrated that self-monitoring of personal health can improve self-management, symptom management and disease regulation, and can lead to reductions in complications, improvement in patients' coping and attitudes toward their disease, realistic goal setting and an enhanced quality of life. However, it is unknown whether, how and the extent to which the benefits of self-monitoring observed in high income settings can be realised in low and middle-income countries especially in rural settings. This project aims to assess the extent to which individuals with multiple chronic health conditions living in rural South Africa self-monitor their health, what methods they use, and the effect of different self-monitoring approaches on behaviours and health outcomes - as a basis for improving self-management among individuals with multiple chronic health conditions. The research for the project will be conducted in the Agincourt health and socio-demographic surveillance system study area in Agincourt sub-district in Mpumalanga province, in northeast South Africa. Data will be collected using questionnaires administered to patients aged 40 years and older with chronic health conditions, inter

NIHR HPSR-DA: Addressing Healt...h System Fragmentation to Advance Universal Health Coverage (UHC) for Low Income Populations in Latin America
more
|
This project strengthens an ex...isting collaboration between UK-Brazil and extends this to other Latin America countries. It will develop a policy-relevant research agenda to understand and address health system inadequacies in the region, including their impact on Universal Health Coverage (UHC). The main output will be a research proposal focused on health system fragmentation in Latin America, which is widespread in the region and has an especially negative impact on the health of low-income populations. To identify policy-relevant evidence gaps for the proposed research programme, we will undertake a needs assessment and research planning in Brazil and two other countries. This will involve: 1) active, fully integrated stakeholder involvement and engagement (involving policy-makers, non-governmental organisations and civil society), 2) a literature review, 3) identification and curation of data sources, 4) formulation of a research team, covering key methodological requirements, 5) capacity building.

GCRF_NF151 COVID19:Determining... trustworthiness and safety of REmote Consulting in primary healthcare (REaCH) for chronic disease populations in Africa
more
|
During the COVID-19 pandemic, ...face-to-face healthcare appointments puts Africa's health workers and their patients at risk. Patients are afraid to attend clinics, e.g to collect medicines, and this may harm their health. Remote healthcare, by phone or internet, is advised by the World Health Organisation. Because this is difficult in Africa due to limited digital infrastructure, we have developed a training programme for health workers called REaCH. REaCH enables health workers to deliver trusted and safe care using the phone and limited internet availability. REaCH training aims to increase the number of appointments held by phone for patients with long-term conditions. We want to test whether these remote appointments are as acceptable, safe and trustworthy as face-to-face appointments. We will undertake trials in Nigeria and Tanzania. In each country we involve 20 health clinics and train 8-10 health workers in two clinics every month for 12 months. We collect monthly information on appointment type and the number of prescriptions and investigations given out. Twenty patients in each clinic per month will complete questionnaires on 1) how trustworthy they found their health worker to be and 2) how confident they are in managing their own health. Patients, clinic health workers and managers will be interviewed. We will produce a) Strengthened health care across Africa following REaCH training b) health workers and patients protected from coronavirus/COVID-19 c) stronger scientific research teams in Nigeria and Tanzania.

IMPROVING HEALTHCARE AT THE IN...TERSECTION OF GENDER AND PROTRACTED DISPLACEMENT AMONGST SOMALI AND CONGOLESE REFUGEES AND IDPS
more
|
Improving healthcare at the in...tersection of gender and protracted displacement amongst Somali and Congolese refugees and IDPs
more
|
This project aims to help disp...laced people to access appropriate healthcare for long-term physical and mental health conditions associated with protracted displacement, conflict, and gendered violence. The category of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) receives a great deal of attention. However, there is limited research on how gendered violence, including violence relating to sexuality, is experienced in displacement contexts. There is also limited understanding of how gender, sexuality, and related violence affect access to healthcare, and how that can result in neglected chronic health conditions, particularly mental ill-health. Similarly, much attention is devoted to immediate healthcare needs following SGBV, but longer-term physical and mental health conditions are not adequately addressed. Displaced people face multiple barriers when seeking healthcare in protracted displacement settings, with the result that long-term health conditions are often misdiagnosed and mistreated or undiagnosed and untreated. This project examines access to care and the responsiveness of healthcare providers for displaced Congolese and Somalis in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Somali, Kenya, and South Africa. Eastern DRC and Somalia have both experienced long-term conflict and displacement since the early 1990s, leading to large populations of Internally Displaced People (IDPs) within these countries and large refugee populations across the region. Conflict and displacement in Eastern DRC and Somalia are characterised by high rates of sexual and gender-based violence, and victims are stigmatised through prevailing gender and sexual norms. Existing health research tends to focus on the immediate aftermath of violence rather than on long-term mental and physical health conditions. The project has eight field sites in four countries. The four IDP field sites are one formal camp and one informal settlement each in Eastern DRC and Somalia, both of which have weak health systems. The four refugee field sites are Congolese and Somali settlements in Kenya and South Africa, which have different health systems and different refugee laws and policies. The project brings together researchers and practitioners from international development, migration studies, gender studies, medical anthropology, public health and health policy, and medical sciences to undertake interdisciplinary empirical research in these protracted displacement contexts. Panzi Foundation (DRC) and War Trauma Foundation (Netherlands) will guide teams of researchers based at the University of Edinburgh (UK), the University of Kinshasa (DRC), the Somali Institute for Development and Research (Somalia), Amref International University (Kenya), and the University of Witwatersrand (South Africa). Project activities are designed to: 1) enhance the capacity of partner organisations, 2) support the inclusion of displaced people in healthcare systems, 3) foster international networks.

STRENGTHENING PRIVATE-SECTOR M...EDICINE SYSTEMS TO TACKLE THE PERSISTENCE OF POOR-QUALITY MEDICINES IN AFRICA: A PROOF-OF-CONCEPT STUDY

Strengthening private-sector m...edicine systems to tackle the persistence of poor-quality medicines in Africa: a proof-of-concept study
more
|
Poor-quality medicines, contai...ning little or no active ingredient - whether through deliberate fraud, poor manufacturing practice or post-manufacture deterioration - represent a major public health threat in low/middle-income countries (LMICs): responsible for more than 200,000 under-5 deaths each year in Africa and contributing to antimicrobial drug resistance. Efforts by governments and international agencies to curb the problem through improving detection rates, tightening regulation and public education have been hampered by the economic realities of medicine supply in resource-poor, high-need contexts, but also - we suggest - by a failure to apprehend fully the complex workings of medicine supply systems, particularly beyond the public sector. Private-sector medicine systems can be characterised as 'complex systems' involving multiple dispersed actors with no central organising authority. Recent developments in the study of complex systems have revealed how the actions of individuals can combine to have non-intuitive effects on the system as whole. This has significant implications for well-intentioned policy interventions based on 'common sense' intuition, which may have unwelcome unanticipated consequences. Our ultimate goal is to understand - and predict - the workings of complex medicine systems in order to inform effective interventions to minimise the penetration of poor-quality products in LMICs. This will require: mapping complete medicine supply chains, understanding the motivations/behaviours of buyers, sellers and regulators, developing sophisticated computational models to simulate the system, and engaging stake-holders to co-design evidence-based interventions. This is an ambitious project which needs careful groundwork through a proof-of-concept study with the following objectives and activities: (1) To assess fieldwork feasibility in these contexts and validate research instruments: Very few people have attempted to trace a full medicine supply chain in an under-regulated context. In order to assess feasibility, safety and ethical issues, we will map a limited number of medicine supply chains starting at retail outlets across Ghana and Tanzania and moving upwards to point of manufacture, obtaining as much relevant information as possible at each stage. Research instruments will be validated in each local context, and re-validated across contexts to ensure consistency. (2) To develop our understandings of the structure and operation of private-sector medicine systems: Geographically weighted analysis will be employed to describe the structure/organization of supply systems (length, number of transaction points, degree/level of vertical 'collapse', etc.) and investigate spatial dependencies in the data. Thematic analysis of ethnographic data and secondary sources will be used to understand actors' decision-making and behaviour at each point. (3) To build Agent-Based Models (ABMs) simulating medicine systems, based on empir

MULTIMORBIDITY IN AFRICA - INC...REASING UNDERSTANDING OF THE PATIENT EXPERIENCE AND EPIDEMIOLOGY (MAFRICAEE)

|
Multimorbidity in Africa - Inc...reasing Understanding of the Patient Experience and Epidemiology (MAfricaEE)
more
|
Multimorbidity, the presence o...f 2 or more long-term conditions (LTCs), is an increasing global health challenge. Multimorbidity is increasingly common among younger and middle-aged as well as older people and is associated with adverse effects on health outcomes. Although multimorbidity is increasingly common in low and middle-income countries (LMICs), we have insufficient information on patterns, trends or determinants of multimorbidity in LMICs. Such information is crucial to inform health and social service planning across different LMIC health care systems. Equally important is the call by the Academy of Medical Sciences to undertake research that includes 'studies of the experiences and preferences of patients with different types of multimorbidity' in LMICs. Living with multiple LTCs is hard work and requires people to assume an increasing workload of self-management, something referred to as 'Treatment Burden.' Treatment burden refers to the work that people and their wider support network have to undertake. It covers a variety of activities ranging from: a) the work done to gain an understanding of conditions, b) the effort needed to navigate health and social care systems, c) the work of operationalising self-management such as attending appointments and taking medicines, and d) undertaking self-monitoring activities, such as checking blood sugars. The concept of treatment burden in those with multimorbidity is yet to be investigated in Sub Saharan Africa (SSA). People can vary in their capacity to cope with any given level of treatment burden depending on a range of factors such as socioeconomic status, health literacy, language, level of educational attainment, location, personal beliefs and physical and mental abilities. As well as personal or individual resources, it is important to consider the role of the persons' wider social support network as well as healthcare organisations and health policy. Gaining an understanding of these concepts in a SSA context and enhancing understanding of the challenges faced by patients and practitioners would inform development of interventions to improve management of multimorbidity. Treatment burden and capacity issues are important as overwhelmed patients are less likely to adhere to therapies, resulting in wasted resources and poor outcomes. This proposal addresses important evidence gaps in multimorbidity research in SSA. Our project will involve 3 work-packages (WPs) and use data sources from 3 African nations (Malawi, Gambia and Uganda). The work represents a collaboration led by the University of Glasgow, which has particular expertise in multimorbidity research, using both data science and qualitative methods, along with partners in Malawi, the MRC Units in Gambia and Uganda and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Our project will address the following questions: 1. What is the prevalence and pattern of multimorbidity across different datasets in Malawi, Uganda

Food Security and Health for E...ast Africa

|
This 'Food Security and Health... for East Africa' GCRF GRTA proposal focuses on breaking the current vicious circle of poor sustenance and poor human health by tackling food security and health challenges as a single highly connected developmental issue. The context of our proposal is the interrelationship between people and their environments seen through the lenses of food security and health, with the specific objectives of: (i) improving the availability of staple food by producing new climate resilient and disease resistant potato varieties that can be grown in East Africa, (ii) reducing the incidence of human Schistosomiasis by using prawns (Macrobrachium Rosenbergii) to disrupt the infection cycle, and (iii) increasing diagnostic accuracy of tuberculosis (TB) and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases including improving antibiotic stewardship in the treatment of these diseases. Nutrition boosts immunity making nourished people less susceptible to infection, and if infected, they have better treatment outcomes.
