description Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Article , Other literature type , Journal 2014 Japan, Australia, JapanPublisher:MDPI AG Davies, Grace I.; McIver, Lachlan; Kim, Yoonhee; Hashizume, Masahiro; Iddings, Steven; Chan, Vibol;Cambodia is prone to extreme weather events, especially floods, droughts and typhoons. Climate change is predicted to increase the frequency and intensity of such events. The Cambodian population is highly vulnerable to the impacts of these events due to poverty; malnutrition; agricultural dependence; settlements in flood-prone areas, and public health, governance and technological limitations. Yet little is known about the health impacts of extreme weather events in Cambodia. Given the extremely low adaptive capacity of the population, this is a crucial knowledge gap. A literature review of the health impacts of floods, droughts and typhoons in Cambodia was conducted, with regional and global information reviewed where Cambodia-specific literature was lacking. Water-borne diseases are of particular concern in Cambodia, in the face of extreme weather events and climate change, due to, inter alia, a high pre-existing burden of diseases such as diarrhoeal illness and a lack of improved sanitation infrastructure in rural areas. A time-series analysis under quasi-Poisson distribution was used to evaluate the association between floods and diarrhoeal disease incidence in Cambodian children between 2001 and 2012 in 16 Cambodian provinces. Floods were significantly associated with increased diarrhoeal disease in two provinces, while the analysis conducted suggested a possible protective effect from toilets and piped water. Addressing the specific, local pre-existing vulnerabilities is vital to promoting population health resilience and strengthening adaptive capacity to extreme weather events and climate change in Cambodia.

SummaryBackgroundAddressing childhood obesity in Latin America requires a package of multisectoral, evidence‐based policies that enable environments conducive to healthy lifestyles.ObjectiveIdentify and examine key elements to translating research into effective obesity policies in Latin America.MethodsWe examined obesity prevention policies through case studies developed with an expert in the specific policy. Policies were selected based on their level of implementation, visibility and potential impact to reduce childhood obesity. They include: (i) excise taxes on sugar sweetened beverages and energy‐dense foods; (ii) front‐of‐package food label legislation; (iii) trans fatty acids removal from processed foods; and (iv) Ciclovías recreativas or ‘open streets’. Case studies were coded to identify components that explained successful implementation and sustainability using the Complex Adaptive Health Systems framework.ResultsThe analysis identified key elements for effective and sustainable policy, including evidence justifying policy; evidence‐based advocacy by civil society; political will; and legislation and skillful negotiations across government, academia, the private sector and civil society. Scientific evidence and evaluation played an important role in achieving tipping points for policies' launch and sustain effective implementation.ConclusionsWell‐coordinated, intersectoral partnerships are needed to successfully implement evidence‐based anti‐obesity policies. Prospective policy research may be useful for advancing knowledge translation.

La santé de la population est étroitement liée à la pauvreté. Pour évaluer l'efficacité des interventions sanitaires, il est essentiel de surveiller les changements spatiaux et temporels des indicateurs de santé des populations et des résultats à différents niveaux de pauvreté. Les mesures existantes de la pauvreté basées sur le revenu, la consommation ou les actifs sont difficiles à comparer entre les contextes géographiques et sont coûteuses à construire. Il a été démontré que les données de télédétection sur les lumières nocturnes artificielles (NTL) sont en corrélation avec le produit intérieur brut dans les pays développés. En utilisant les données des enquêtes nationales sur les ménages, l'analyse en composantes principales a été utilisée pour calculer les indices de pauvreté basés sur les actifs à partir des variables agrégées des actifs des ménages au niveau administratif 1 (n = 338) dans 37 pays d'Afrique. À l'aide de systèmes d'information géographique, la luminosité moyenne et la distance aux pixels NTL et la proportion de la zone couverte par NTL ont été calculées pour chaque polygone Administrative1. Les corrélations et l'accord des indices basés sur les actifs et des trois métriques NTL ont ensuite été examinés sous forme continue et ordinale. Au niveau administratif 1, toutes les métriques NTL distinguaient les quintiles les plus pauvres et les moins pauvres avec une plus grande précision par rapport aux quintiles intermédiaires. La luminosité moyenne de NTL, cependant, avait le coefficient de corrélation le plus élevé avec l'indice de richesse basé sur les actifs dans les formes continues (corrélation de Pearson = 0,64, p < 0,01) et ordinales (corrélation de Spearman = 0,79, p < 0,01 ; Kappa = 0,64). Les métriques de la luminosité des données NTL offrent une alternative robuste et peu coûteuse aux indices de pauvreté basés sur les actifs dérivés des données d'enquête au niveau administratif 1 en Afrique. Ceux-ci pourraient être utilisés pour explorer les inégalités économiques dans les résultats en matière de santé et l'accès aux interventions de santé aux niveaux infranationaux lorsque les données sur les actifs des ménages ne sont pas disponibles à la résolution requise. La salud de la población está estrechamente vinculada a la pobreza. Para evaluar la efectividad de las intervenciones de salud, es fundamental monitorear los cambios espaciales y temporales en los indicadores de salud de las poblaciones y los resultados en diferentes niveles de pobreza. Las medidas existentes de pobreza basadas en los ingresos, el consumo o los activos son difíciles de comparar en todos los entornos geográficos y son caras de construir. Se ha demostrado que los datos teledetectados sobre luces nocturnas artificiales (NTL) se correlacionan con el producto interno bruto en los países desarrollados. Utilizando datos de encuestas nacionales de hogares, se utilizó el análisis de componentes principales para calcular índices de pobreza basados en activos a partir de variables agregadas de activos de los hogares en el nivel administrativo 1 (n = 338) en 37 países de África. Utilizando sistemas de información geográfica, se calcularon el brillo medio y la distancia a los píxeles NTL y la proporción de área cubierta por NTL para cada polígono Administrativo1. Luego se examinaron las correlaciones y la concordancia de los índices basados en activos y las tres métricas de NTL en forma continua y ordinal. En el nivel administrativo 1, todas las métricas de NTL distinguieron entre los quintiles más pobres y menos pobres con mayor precisión en comparación con los quintiles intermedios. El brillo medio de NTL, sin embargo, tuvo el coeficiente de correlación más alto con el índice de riqueza basado en activos en las formas continua (correlación de Pearson = 0.64, p < 0.01) y ordinal (correlación de Spearman = 0.79, p < 0.01; Kappa = 0.64). Las métricas del brillo de los datos de NTL ofrecen una alternativa sólida y económica a los índices de pobreza basados en activos derivados de los datos de la encuesta en el nivel administrativo 1 en África. Estos podrían usarse para explorar la inequidad económica en los resultados de salud y el acceso a las intervenciones de salud a nivel subnacional donde los datos de activos familiares no están disponibles en la resolución requerida. Population health is linked closely to poverty. To assess the effectiveness of health interventions it is critical to monitor the spatial and temporal changes in the health indicators of populations and outcomes across varying levels of poverty. Existing measures of poverty based on income, consumption or assets are difficult to compare across geographic settings and are expensive to construct. Remotely sensed data on artificial night time lights (NTL) have been shown to correlate with gross domestic product in developed countries.Using national household survey data, principal component analysis was used to compute asset-based poverty indices from aggregated household asset variables at the Administrative 1 level (n = 338) in 37 countries in Africa. Using geographical information systems, mean brightness of and distance to NTL pixels and proportion of area covered by NTL were computed for each Administrative1 polygon. Correlations and agreement of asset-based indices and the three NTL metrics were then examined in both continuous and ordinal forms.At the Administrative 1 level all the NTL metrics distinguished between the most poor and least poor quintiles with greater precision compared to intermediate quintiles. The mean brightness of NTL, however, had the highest correlation coefficient with the asset-based wealth index in continuous (Pearson correlation = 0.64, p < 0.01) and ordinal (Spearman correlation = 0.79, p < 0.01; Kappa = 0.64) forms.Metrics of the brightness of NTL data offer a robust and inexpensive alternative to asset-based poverty indices derived from survey data at the Administrative 1 level in Africa. These could be used to explore economic inequity in health outcomes and access to health interventions at sub-national levels where household assets data are not available at the required resolution. ترتبط صحة السكان ارتباطًا وثيقًا بالفقر. لتقييم فعالية التدخلات الصحية، من الأهمية بمكان رصد التغيرات المكانية والزمانية في المؤشرات الصحية للسكان والنتائج عبر مستويات متفاوتة من الفقر. من الصعب مقارنة مقاييس الفقر الحالية القائمة على الدخل أو الاستهلاك أو الأصول عبر البيئات الجغرافية وهي مكلفة البناء. وقد تبين أن البيانات المستشعرة عن بعد بشأن الأضواء الليلية الاصطناعية ترتبط بالناتج المحلي الإجمالي في البلدان المتقدمة. وباستخدام بيانات الدراسات الاستقصائية الوطنية للأسر المعيشية، استخدم تحليل المكونات الرئيسية لحساب مؤشرات الفقر القائمة على الأصول من المتغيرات الإجمالية لأصول الأسر المعيشية على المستوى الإداري 1 (العدد = 338) في 37 بلدا في أفريقيا. باستخدام أنظمة المعلومات الجغرافية، تم حساب متوسط السطوع والمسافة إلى بكسل NTL ونسبة المساحة التي تغطيها NTL لكل مضلع إداري 1. ثم تم فحص الارتباطات والاتفاق بين المؤشرات القائمة على الأصول ومقاييس NTL الثلاثة في كل من الأشكال المستمرة والترتيبية. في المستوى الإداري الأول، ميزت جميع مقاييس NTL بين الخُمس الأكثر فقراً والأقل فقراً بدقة أكبر مقارنة بالخُمس المتوسط. ومع ذلك، كان لمتوسط سطوع NTL أعلى معامل ارتباط مع مؤشر الثروة القائم على الأصول بشكل مستمر (ارتباط بيرسون = 0.64، p < 0.01) والترتيبي (ارتباط سبيرمان = 0.79، p < 0.01 ؛ Kappa = 0.64). توفر مقاييس سطوع بيانات NTL بديلاً قويًا وغير مكلف لمؤشرات الفقر القائمة على الأصول المستمدة من بيانات المسح على المستوى الإداري 1 في إفريقيا. يمكن استخدام هذه لاستكشاف عدم المساواة الاقتصادية في النتائج الصحية والوصول إلى التدخلات الصحية على المستويات دون الوطنية حيث لا تتوفر بيانات أصول الأسرة وفقًا للحل المطلوب.

Estos podrían usarse para explorar la inequidad económica en los resultados de salud y el acceso a las intervenciones de salud a nivel subnacional donde los datos de activos familiares no están disponibles en la resolución requerida. Population health is linked closely to poverty. To assess the effectiveness of health interventions it is critical to monitor the spatial and temporal changes in the health indicators of populations and outcomes across varying levels of poverty. Existing measures of poverty based on income, consumption or assets are difficult to compare across geographic settings and are expensive to construct. Remotely sensed data on artificial night time lights (NTL) have been shown to correlate with gross domestic product in developed countries.Using national household survey data, principal component analysis was used to compute asset-based poverty indices from aggregated household asset variables at the Administrative 1 level (n = 338) in 37 countries in Africa. Using geographical information systems, mean brightness of and distance to NTL pixels and proportion of area covered by NTL were computed for each Administrative1 polygon. Correlations and agreement of asset-based indices and the three NTL metrics were then examined in both continuous and ordinal forms.At the Administrative 1 level all the NTL metrics distinguished between the most poor and least poor quintiles with greater precision compared to intermediate quintiles. The mean brightness of NTL, however, had the highest correlation coefficient with the asset-based wealth index in continuous (Pearson correlation = 0.64, p < 0.01) and ordinal (Spearman correlation = 0.79, p < 0.01; Kappa = 0.64) forms.Metrics of the brightness of NTL data offer a robust and inexpensive alternative to asset-based poverty indices derived from survey data at the Administrative 1 level in Africa. These could be used to explore economic inequity in health outcomes and access to health interventions at sub-national levels where household assets data are not available at the required resolution. ترتبط صحة السكان ارتباطًا وثيقًا بالفقر. لتقييم فعالية التدخلات الصحية، من الأهمية بمكان رصد التغيرات المكانية والزمانية في المؤشرات الصحية للسكان والنتائج عبر مستويات متفاوتة من الفقر. من الصعب مقارنة مقاييس الفقر الحالية القائمة على الدخل أو الاستهلاك أو الأصول عبر البيئات الجغرافية وهي مكلفة البناء. وقد تبين أن البيانات المستشعرة عن بعد بشأن الأضواء الليلية الاصطناعية ترتبط بالناتج المحلي الإجمالي في البلدان المتقدمة. وباستخدام بيانات الدراسات الاستقصائية الوطنية للأسر المعيشية، استخدم تحليل المكونات الرئيسية لحساب مؤشرات الفقر القائمة على الأصول من المتغيرات الإجمالية لأصول الأسر المعيشية على المستوى الإداري 1 (العدد = 338) في 37 بلدا في أفريقيا. باستخدام أنظمة المعلومات الجغرافية، تم حساب متوسط السطوع والمسافة إلى بكسل NTL ونسبة المساحة التي تغطيها NTL لكل مضلع إداري 1. ثم تم فحص الارتباطات والاتفاق بين المؤشرات القائمة على الأصول ومقاييس NTL الثلاثة في كل من الأشكال المستمرة والترتيبية. في المستوى الإداري الأول، ميزت جميع مقاييس NTL بين الخُمس الأكثر فقراً والأقل فقراً بدقة أكبر مقارنة بالخُمس المتوسط. ومع ذلك، كان لمتوسط سطوع NTL أعلى معامل ارتباط مع مؤشر الثروة القائم على الأصول بشكل مستمر (ارتباط بيرسون = 0.64، p < 0.01) والترتيبي (ارتباط سبيرمان = 0.79، p < 0.01 ؛ Kappa = 0.64). توفر مقاييس سطوع بيانات NTL بديلاً قويًا وغير مكلف لمؤشرات الفقر القائمة على الأصول المستمدة من بيانات المسح على المستوى الإداري 1 في إفريقيا. يمكن استخدام هذه لاستكشاف عدم المساواة الاقتصادية في النتائج الصحية والوصول إلى التدخلات الصحية على المستويات دون الوطنية حيث لا تتوفر بيانات أصول الأسرة وفقًا للحل المطلوب.

The world is facing the great challenge of how to feed the increasing and wealthier population sustainably in the future, with already limited natural resources. The existing literature reveals the negative impacts of animal-based diets, and thus global diet changes are required to ensure future food availability. Nevertheless, it is important to acknowledge that food consumption is more than caloric intake—it is based on personal preferences. We assessed how sustainable food choices vary among Finnish citizens. The respondents (n = 2052) answered nine statements about their consumption behavior. We applied quantitative and qualitative methods, and our results indicate that favoring plant-based diets was the highest among people under 30 and above 60 years old. Middle-aged men with high incomes was the most reluctant group to adopt sustainable diets. Health-related issues and origin of food were the most preferred reasons for food choices, while environmental awareness was ranked lower. The key to mainstream sustainable diets lies in the co-benefits —transition towards more sustainable diets among Finns could be possible, if people felt that they can combine the selfish, hedonistic factors (e.g., health, weight loss) and altruistic factors (e.g., ecological benefits) in their everyday diets.

An increased dependency on motorized modes of transportation has been noticed recently for school children commuting to school, while a major decline in walking to school has occurred. Dependency on motorized modes for commuting to school has many adverse consequences. This paper examines determinants that can influence how children commute to schools for both boys and girls in all school stages in Najran City. Data of morning school commutes were analyzed using a multinomial logit model (MLM). Analytical results indicate that about 37% of students live at a distance of more than 2 km from school, and only 16% live within 500 m of their schools. Almost half of the respondents own more than one car. Regarding walking to school, only 19% of students walk to school, while the rest use motorized modes when commuting to school. The results of MLM show that boys are more likely to walk to school than girls. In addition, age and unemployed family members have a positive relationship with students’ odds of walking while owning cars, income, employed parents, parent education, and distance to school have a negative association with the likelihood of walking to schools. A shortage and uneven distribution of schools, lack of pedestrian infrastructure, and the higher dependency on private drivers can be considered the most important barriers to walking to schools. Thus, responsible agencies must add more schools to reduce the distance between homes and schools, implement safe, paved, and shaded pedestrian sidewalks, and educate students about walking benefits and safety principles.

Les données ont été recueillies auprès de 400 répondants des cinq districts de Nawabshah, Nausheroferoze, Matyari, Dadu et Tando Allayer, en utilisant une technique aléatoire simple. Le questionnaire structurel était l'outil de base pour mesurer le changement. Il a été révélé que la création d'institutions, telles que des fonctionnaires élus au niveau des districts et des villages. Cette décentralisation des institutions a eu pour but de promouvoir une stratégie participative pour le développement rural au niveau des micro/ou des villages. Il a en outre été révélé que pour parvenir au développement durable, il semble encore difficile d'y parvenir tant qu'il n'y aura pas un effort déterminé du gouvernement pour permettre aux fonctionnaires (RD) et aux non-officiels (PRI) de travailler en harmonie pour améliorer et réduire le nombre de pauvres en milieu rural. La investigación actual investiga la sostenibilidad y su paradigma cambiante en el desarrollo rural en Sindh. Los datos se recopilaron de los cinco distritos de 400 encuestados, Nawabshah, Nausheroferoze, Matyari, Dadu y Tando Allayer, mediante el uso de una técnica aleatoria simple. El cuestionario estructural fue la herramienta básica para medir el cambio. Se reveló que la creación de instituciones, como los funcionarios, elegía representantes a nivel de distrito y de aldea. Tal descentralización de las instituciones ha sido para promover una estrategia participativa para el desarrollo rural a nivel micro o de aldea. Además, se reveló que para lograr el desarrollo sostenible todavía parece ser difícil de alcanzar hasta que haya un esfuerzo decidido del gobierno para permitir que los funcionarios (RD) y no oficiales (PRI) trabajen en armonía para mejorar y reducir el número de pobres rurales. The current research investigates the sustainability and its changing paradigm in rural development in Sindh. Data were collected from 400 respondent's five districts Nawabshah, Nausheroferoze, Matyari, Dadu, and Tando Allayer, by using simple random technique. Structural questionnaire was the basic tool for measuring the change. It was revealed that creation of institutions, such as, officials elected representatives at districts block and village level. Such decentralization of institutions have been to promote a participatory strategy for rural development at Micro/or village level. It was further revealed that To achieve sustainable development it is still seems to be an elusive one until there is a determined government effort to allow officials (RD) and non-official (PRIs) to work in harmony for the betterment and reduction in the number of rural poor. يبحث البحث الحالي في الاستدامة ونموذجها المتغير في التنمية الريفية في السند. تم جمع البيانات من 400 مقاطعة من مقاطعات نوابشاه وناوشيروفيروز وماتياري ودادو وتاندو ألاير باستخدام تقنية عشوائية بسيطة. كان الاستبيان الهيكلي الأداة الأساسية لقياس التغيير. تم الكشف عن إنشاء مؤسسات، مثل المسؤولين المنتخبين الممثلين على مستوى المقاطعات والقرى. وكان الهدف من هذه اللامركزية في المؤسسات هو تعزيز استراتيجية تشاركية للتنمية الريفية على المستوى الجزئي/أو مستوى القرية. كما تم الكشف عن أنه لتحقيق التنمية المستدامة، لا يزال الأمر يبدو بعيد المنال حتى يتم بذل جهد حكومي حازم للسماح للمسؤولين (RD) وغير الرسميين (PRIs) بالعمل في وئام من أجل تحسين وخفض عدد فقراء الريف.

Les données ont été recueillies auprès de 400 répondants des cinq districts de Nawabshah, Nausheroferoze, Matyari, Dadu et Tando Allayer, en utilisant une technique aléatoire simple. Le questionnaire structurel était l'outil de base pour mesurer le changement. Il a été révélé que la création d'institutions, telles que des fonctionnaires élus au niveau des districts et des villages. Cette décentralisation des institutions a eu pour but de promouvoir une stratégie participative pour le développement rural au niveau des micro/ou des villages. Il a en outre été révélé que pour parvenir au développement durable, il semble encore difficile d'y parvenir tant qu'il n'y aura pas un effort déterminé du gouvernement pour permettre aux fonctionnaires (RD) et aux non-officiels (PRI) de travailler en harmonie pour améliorer et réduire le nombre de pauvres en milieu rural. La investigación actual investiga la sostenibilidad y su paradigma cambiante en el desarrollo rural en Sindh. Los datos se recopilaron de los cinco distritos de 400 encuestados, Nawabshah, Nausheroferoze, Matyari, Dadu y Tando Allayer, mediante el uso de una técnica aleatoria simple. El cuestionario estructural fue la herramienta básica para medir el cambio. Se reveló que la creación de instituciones, como los funcionarios, elegía representantes a nivel de distrito y de aldea. Tal descentralización de las instituciones ha sido para promover una estrategia participativa para el desarrollo rural a nivel micro o de aldea. Además, se reveló que para lograr el desarrollo sostenible todavía parece ser difícil de alcanzar hasta que haya un esfuerzo decidido del gobierno para permitir que los funcionarios (RD) y no oficiales (PRI) trabajen en armonía para mejorar y reducir el número de pobres rurales. The current research investigates the sustainability and its changing paradigm in rural development in Sindh. Data were collected from 400 respondent's five districts Nawabshah, Nausheroferoze, Matyari, Dadu, and Tando Allayer, by using simple random technique. Structural questionnaire was the basic tool for measuring the change. It was revealed that creation of institutions, such as, officials elected representatives at districts block and village level. Such decentralization of institutions have been to promote a participatory strategy for rural development at Micro/or village level. It was further revealed that To achieve sustainable development it is still seems to be an elusive one until there is a determined government effort to allow officials (RD) and non-official (PRIs) to work in harmony for the betterment and reduction in the number of rural poor. يبحث البحث الحالي في الاستدامة ونموذجها المتغير في التنمية الريفية في السند. تم جمع البيانات من 400 مقاطعة من مقاطعات نوابشاه وناوشيروفيروز وماتياري ودادو وتاندو ألاير باستخدام تقنية عشوائية بسيطة. كان الاستبيان الهيكلي الأداة الأساسية لقياس التغيير. تم الكشف عن إنشاء مؤسسات، مثل المسؤولين المنتخبين الممثلين على مستوى المقاطعات والقرى. وكان الهدف من هذه اللامركزية في المؤسسات هو تعزيز استراتيجية تشاركية للتنمية الريفية على المستوى الجزئي/أو مستوى القرية. كما تم الكشف عن أنه لتحقيق التنمية المستدامة، لا يزال الأمر يبدو بعيد المنال حتى يتم بذل جهد حكومي حازم للسماح للمسؤولين (RD) وغير الرسميين (PRIs) بالعمل في وئام من أجل تحسين وخفض عدد فقراء الريف.

Conroy; Laura L. Hermann; Charles Olaro; Jackson Amone; Robert O. Opoka; Michael T. Hawkes;Abstract Background Child mortality due to pneumonia is a major global health problem and is associated with hypoxemia. Access to safe and continuous oxygen therapy can reduce mortality; however, low-income countries may lack the necessary resources for oxygen delivery. We have previously demonstrated proof-of-concept that solar-powered oxygen (SPO2) delivery can reliably provide medical oxygen remote settings with minimal access to electricity. This study aims to demonstrate the efficacy of SPO2 in children hospitalized with acute hypoxemic respiratory illness across Uganda. Methods Objectives: Demonstrate efficacy of SPO2 in children hospitalized with acute hypoxemic respiratory illness. Study design: Multi-center, stepped-wedge cluster-randomized trial. Setting: Twenty health facilities across Uganda, a low-income, high-burden country for pediatric pneumonia. Site selection: Facilities with pediatric inpatient services lacking consistent O2 supply on pediatric wards. Participants: Children aged < 5 years hospitalized with hypoxemia (saturation < 92%) warranting hospital admission based on clinical judgement. Randomization methods: Random installation order generated a priori with allocation concealment. Study procedure: Patients receive standard of care within pediatric wards with or without SPO2 system installed. Outcome measures: Primary: 48-h mortality. Secondary: safety, efficacy, SPO2 system functionality, operating costs, nursing knowledge, skills, and retention for oxygen administration. Statistical analysis of primary outcome: Linear mixed effects logistic regression model with 48-h mortality (dependent variable) as a function of SPO2 treatment (before versus after installation), while adjusting for confounding effects of calendar time (fixed effect) and site (random effect). Sample size: 2400 patients across 20 health facilities, predicted to provide 80% power to detect a 35% reduction in mortality after introduction of SPO2, based on a computer simulation of > 5000 trials. Discussion Overall, our study aims to demonstrate mortality benefit of SPO2 relative to standard (unreliable) oxygen delivery. The innovative trial design (stepped-wedge, cluster-randomized) is supported by a computer simulation. Capacity building for nursing care and oxygen therapy is a non-scientific objective of the study. If successful, SPO2 could be scaled across a variety of resource-constrained remote or rural settings in sub-Saharan Africa and beyond. Trial registration Clinicaltrials.gov, NCT03851783.

Jack; Christopher Merritt; Charlotte Hanlon; Charlotte Hanlon; Lorna Gibson; Katherine Sorsdahl; Melanie Abas; Dixon Chibanda; Rosemary Musesengwa; Chitsanzo Mafuta;Less than 1% of biomedical research papers originate in Africa. Locally relevant mental health research, including synthesis of existing evidence, is essential for developing interventions and strengthening health systems, but institutions may lack the capacity to deliver training on systematic reviewing for publication in international journals. This paper describes the development and implementation of a training-of-trainers (ToT) course on systematic reviewing. The ToT prepared junior faculty ('trainers') from universities in Ethiopia, Malawi, and Zimbabwe to lead a five-day systematic reviewing workshop. Using an evaluation framework based on implementation science outcomes, the feasibility of the ToT was assessed by tracking the number of workshops the trainers subsequently conducted and the number of trainers and trainees who participated; acceptability was assessed through post-workshop surveys on trainee perspectives; impact was evaluated through trainee scores on a 15-item multiple choice test on systematic reviewing concepts; and sustainability was assessed based on whether the workshop was integrated into university curricula. Twelve trainers (86% of those trained) facilitated a total of seven workshops in their home countries (total 103 trainees). The first workshop run in each country was evaluated, and there was a significant improvement in mean knowledge scores between pre- and post-tests among trainees (MD= 3.07, t= 5.90, 95% CI 2.02-4.11). In two of the three countries, there are efforts to integrate the systematic review workshop into university curricula. The cost of the workshop led by the international trainer was $1480 per participant, whereas the trainer-led workshops cost approximately $240 per participant. Overall, ToT is relatively new to research capacity building, although it has been used widely in clinical settings. Our findings suggest ToT is a promising, low-cost way to develop both technical skills of individuals and the pedagogical capacity of universities, and to promote sustainability of research capacity building programs that often have time-limited grant funding.

description Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Article , Other literature type , Journal 2014 Japan, Australia, JapanPublisher:MDPI AG Davies, Grace I.; McIver, Lachlan; Kim, Yoonhee; Hashizume, Masahiro; Iddings, Steven; Chan, Vibol;Cambodia is prone to extreme weather events, especially floods, droughts and typhoons. Climate change is predicted to increase the frequency and intensity of such events. The Cambodian population is highly vulnerable to the impacts of these events due to poverty; malnutrition; agricultural dependence; settlements in flood-prone areas, and public health, governance and technological limitations. Yet little is known about the health impacts of extreme weather events in Cambodia. Given the extremely low adaptive capacity of the population, this is a crucial knowledge gap. A literature review of the health impacts of floods, droughts and typhoons in Cambodia was conducted, with regional and global information reviewed where Cambodia-specific literature was lacking. Water-borne diseases are of particular concern in Cambodia, in the face of extreme weather events and climate change, due to, inter alia, a high pre-existing burden of diseases such as diarrhoeal illness and a lack of improved sanitation infrastructure in rural areas. A time-series analysis under quasi-Poisson distribution was used to evaluate the association between floods and diarrhoeal disease incidence in Cambodian children between 2001 and 2012 in 16 Cambodian provinces. Floods were significantly associated with increased diarrhoeal disease in two provinces, while the analysis conducted suggested a possible protective effect from toilets and piped water. Addressing the specific, local pre-existing vulnerabilities is vital to promoting population health resilience and strengthening adaptive capacity to extreme weather events and climate change in Cambodia.

Climate change is predicted to increase the frequency and intensity of such events. The Cambodian population is highly vulnerable to the impacts of these events due to poverty; malnutrition; agricultural dependence; settlements in flood-prone areas, and public health, governance and technological limitations. Yet little is known about the health impacts of extreme weather events in Cambodia. Given the extremely low adaptive capacity of the population, this is a crucial knowledge gap. A literature review of the health impacts of floods, droughts and typhoons in Cambodia was conducted, with regional and global information reviewed where Cambodia-specific literature was lacking. Water-borne diseases are of particular concern in Cambodia, in the face of extreme weather events and climate change, due to, inter alia, a high pre-existing burden of diseases such as diarrhoeal illness and a lack of improved sanitation infrastructure in rural areas. A time-series analysis under quasi-Poisson distribution was used to evaluate the association between floods and diarrhoeal disease incidence in Cambodian children between 2001 and 2012 in 16 Cambodian provinces. Floods were significantly associated with increased diarrhoeal disease in two provinces, while the analysis conducted suggested a possible protective effect from toilets and piped water. Addressing the specific, local pre-existing vulnerabilities is vital to promoting population health resilience and strengthening adaptive capacity to extreme weather events and climate change in Cambodia.

SummaryBackgroundAddressing childhood obesity in Latin America requires a package of multisectoral, evidence‐based policies that enable environments conducive to healthy lifestyles.ObjectiveIdentify and examine key elements to translating research into effective obesity policies in Latin America.MethodsWe examined obesity prevention policies through case studies developed with an expert in the specific policy. Policies were selected based on their level of implementation, visibility and potential impact to reduce childhood obesity. They include: (i) excise taxes on sugar sweetened beverages and energy‐dense foods; (ii) front‐of‐package food label legislation; (iii) trans fatty acids removal from processed foods; and (iv) Ciclovías recreativas or ‘open streets’. Case studies were coded to identify components that explained successful implementation and sustainability using the Complex Adaptive Health Systems framework.ResultsThe analysis identified key elements for effective and sustainable policy, including evidence justifying policy; evidence‐based advocacy by civil society; political will; and legislation and skillful negotiations across government, academia, the private sector and civil society. Scientific evidence and evaluation played an important role in achieving tipping points for policies' launch and sustain effective implementation.ConclusionsWell‐coordinated, intersectoral partnerships are needed to successfully implement evidence‐based anti‐obesity policies. Prospective policy research may be useful for advancing knowledge translation.

La santé de la population est étroitement liée à la pauvreté. Pour évaluer l'efficacité des interventions sanitaires, il est essentiel de surveiller les changements spatiaux et temporels des indicateurs de santé des populations et des résultats à différents niveaux de pauvreté. Les mesures existantes de la pauvreté basées sur le revenu, la consommation ou les actifs sont difficiles à comparer entre les contextes géographiques et sont coûteuses à construire. Il a été démontré que les données de télédétection sur les lumières nocturnes artificielles (NTL) sont en corrélation avec le produit intérieur brut dans les pays développés. En utilisant les données des enquêtes nationales sur les ménages, l'analyse en composantes principales a été utilisée pour calculer les indices de pauvreté basés sur les actifs à partir des variables agrégées des actifs des ménages au niveau administratif 1 (n = 338) dans 37 pays d'Afrique. À l'aide de systèmes d'information géographique, la luminosité moyenne et la distance aux pixels NTL et la proportion de la zone couverte par NTL ont été calculées pour chaque polygone Administrative1. Les corrélations et l'accord des indices basés sur les actifs et des trois métriques NTL ont ensuite été examinés sous forme continue et ordinale. Au niveau administratif 1, toutes les métriques NTL distinguaient les quintiles les plus pauvres et les moins pauvres avec une plus grande précision par rapport aux quintiles intermédiaires. La luminosité moyenne de NTL, cependant, avait le coefficient de corrélation le plus élevé avec l'indice de richesse basé sur les actifs dans les formes continues (corrélation de Pearson = 0,64, p < 0,01) et ordinales (corrélation de Spearman = 0,79, p < 0,01 ; Kappa = 0,64). Les métriques de la luminosité des données NTL offrent une alternative robuste et peu coûteuse aux indices de pauvreté basés sur les actifs dérivés des données d'enquête au niveau administratif 1 en Afrique. Ceux-ci pourraient être utilisés pour explorer les inégalités économiques dans les résultats en matière de santé et l'accès aux interventions de santé aux niveaux infranationaux lorsque les données sur les actifs des ménages ne sont pas disponibles à la résolution requise. La salud de la población está estrechamente vinculada a la pobreza. Para evaluar la efectividad de las intervenciones de salud, es fundamental monitorear los cambios espaciales y temporales en los indicadores de salud de las poblaciones y los resultados en diferentes niveles de pobreza. Las medidas existentes de pobreza basadas en los ingresos, el consumo o los activos son difíciles de comparar en todos los entornos geográficos y son caras de construir. Se ha demostrado que los datos teledetectados sobre luces nocturnas artificiales (NTL) se correlacionan con el producto interno bruto en los países desarrollados. Utilizando datos de encuestas nacionales de hogares, se utilizó el análisis de componentes principales para calcular índices de pobreza basados en activos a partir de variables agregadas de activos de los hogares en el nivel administrativo 1 (n = 338) en 37 países de África. Utilizando sistemas de información geográfica, se calcularon el brillo medio y la distancia a los píxeles NTL y la proporción de área cubierta por NTL para cada polígono Administrativo1. Luego se examinaron las correlaciones y la concordancia de los índices basados en activos y las tres métricas de NTL en forma continua y ordinal. En el nivel administrativo 1, todas las métricas de NTL distinguieron entre los quintiles más pobres y menos pobres con mayor precisión en comparación con los quintiles intermedios. El brillo medio de NTL, sin embargo, tuvo el coeficiente de correlación más alto con el índice de riqueza basado en activos en las formas continua (correlación de Pearson = 0.64, p < 0.01) y ordinal (correlación de Spearman = 0.79, p < 0.01; Kappa = 0.64). Las métricas del brillo de los datos de NTL ofrecen una alternativa sólida y económica a los índices de pobreza basados en activos derivados de los datos de la encuesta en el nivel administrativo 1 en África. Estos podrían usarse para explorar la inequidad económica en los resultados de salud y el acceso a las intervenciones de salud a nivel subnacional donde los datos de activos familiares no están disponibles en la resolución requerida. Population health is linked closely to poverty. To assess the effectiveness of health interventions it is critical to monitor the spatial and temporal changes in the health indicators of populations and outcomes across varying levels of poverty. Existing measures of poverty based on income, consumption or assets are difficult to compare across geographic settings and are expensive to construct. Remotely sensed data on artificial night time lights (NTL) have been shown to correlate with gross domestic product in developed countries.Using national household survey data, principal component analysis was used to compute asset-based poverty indices from aggregated household asset variables at the Administrative 1 level (n = 338) in 37 countries in Africa. Using geographical information systems, mean brightness of and distance to NTL pixels and proportion of area covered by NTL were computed for each Administrative1 polygon. Correlations and agreement of asset-based indices and the three NTL metrics were then examined in both continuous and ordinal forms.At the Administrative 1 level all the NTL metrics distinguished between the most poor and least poor quintiles with greater precision compared to intermediate quintiles. The mean brightness of NTL, however, had the highest correlation coefficient with the asset-based wealth index in continuous (Pearson correlation = 0.64, p < 0.01) and ordinal (Spearman correlation = 0.79, p < 0.01; Kappa = 0.64) forms.Metrics of the brightness of NTL data offer a robust and inexpensive alternative to asset-based poverty indices derived from survey data at the Administrative 1 level in Africa. These could be used to explore economic inequity in health outcomes and access to health interventions at sub-national levels where household assets data are not available at the required resolution. ترتبط صحة السكان ارتباطًا وثيقًا بالفقر. لتقييم فعالية التدخلات الصحية، من الأهمية بمكان رصد التغيرات المكانية والزمانية في المؤشرات الصحية للسكان والنتائج عبر مستويات متفاوتة من الفقر. من الصعب مقارنة مقاييس الفقر الحالية القائمة على الدخل أو الاستهلاك أو الأصول عبر البيئات الجغرافية وهي مكلفة البناء. وقد تبين أن البيانات المستشعرة عن بعد بشأن الأضواء الليلية الاصطناعية ترتبط بالناتج المحلي الإجمالي في البلدان المتقدمة. وباستخدام بيانات الدراسات الاستقصائية الوطنية للأسر المعيشية، استخدم تحليل المكونات الرئيسية لحساب مؤشرات الفقر القائمة على الأصول من المتغيرات الإجمالية لأصول الأسر المعيشية على المستوى الإداري 1 (العدد = 338) في 37 بلدا في أفريقيا. باستخدام أنظمة المعلومات الجغرافية، تم حساب متوسط السطوع والمسافة إلى بكسل NTL ونسبة المساحة التي تغطيها NTL لكل مضلع إداري 1. ثم تم فحص الارتباطات والاتفاق بين المؤشرات القائمة على الأصول ومقاييس NTL الثلاثة في كل من الأشكال المستمرة والترتيبية. في المستوى الإداري الأول، ميزت جميع مقاييس NTL بين الخُمس الأكثر فقراً والأقل فقراً بدقة أكبر مقارنة بالخُمس المتوسط. ومع ذلك، كان لمتوسط سطوع NTL أعلى معامل ارتباط مع مؤشر الثروة القائم على الأصول بشكل مستمر (ارتباط بيرسون = 0.64، p < 0.01) والترتيبي (ارتباط سبيرمان = 0.79، p < 0.01 ؛ Kappa = 0.64). توفر مقاييس سطوع بيانات NTL بديلاً قويًا وغير مكلف لمؤشرات الفقر القائمة على الأصول المستمدة من بيانات المسح على المستوى الإداري 1 في إفريقيا. يمكن استخدام هذه لاستكشاف عدم المساواة الاقتصادية في النتائج الصحية والوصول إلى التدخلات الصحية على المستويات دون الوطنية حيث لا تتوفر بيانات أصول الأسرة وفقًا للحل المطلوب.

These could be used to explore economic inequity in health outcomes and access to health interventions at sub-national levels where household assets data are not available at the required resolution. ترتبط صحة السكان ارتباطًا وثيقًا بالفقر. لتقييم فعالية التدخلات الصحية، من الأهمية بمكان رصد التغيرات المكانية والزمانية في المؤشرات الصحية للسكان والنتائج عبر مستويات متفاوتة من الفقر. من الصعب مقارنة مقاييس الفقر الحالية القائمة على الدخل أو الاستهلاك أو الأصول عبر البيئات الجغرافية وهي مكلفة البناء. وقد تبين أن البيانات المستشعرة عن بعد بشأن الأضواء الليلية الاصطناعية ترتبط بالناتج المحلي الإجمالي في البلدان المتقدمة. وباستخدام بيانات الدراسات الاستقصائية الوطنية للأسر المعيشية، استخدم تحليل المكونات الرئيسية لحساب مؤشرات الفقر القائمة على الأصول من المتغيرات الإجمالية لأصول الأسر المعيشية على المستوى الإداري 1 (العدد = 338) في 37 بلدا في أفريقيا. باستخدام أنظمة المعلومات الجغرافية، تم حساب متوسط السطوع والمسافة إلى بكسل NTL ونسبة المساحة التي تغطيها NTL لكل مضلع إداري 1. ثم تم فحص الارتباطات والاتفاق بين المؤشرات القائمة على الأصول ومقاييس NTL الثلاثة في كل من الأشكال المستمرة والترتيبية. في المستوى الإداري الأول، ميزت جميع مقاييس NTL بين الخُمس الأكثر فقراً والأقل فقراً بدقة أكبر مقارنة بالخُمس المتوسط. ومع ذلك، كان لمتوسط سطوع NTL أعلى معامل ارتباط مع مؤشر الثروة القائم على الأصول بشكل مستمر (ارتباط بيرسون = 0.64، p < 0.01) والترتيبي (ارتباط سبيرمان = 0.79، p < 0.01 ؛ Kappa = 0.64). توفر مقاييس سطوع بيانات NTL بديلاً قويًا وغير مكلف لمؤشرات الفقر القائمة على الأصول المستمدة من بيانات المسح على المستوى الإداري 1 في إفريقيا. يمكن استخدام هذه لاستكشاف عدم المساواة الاقتصادية في النتائج الصحية والوصول إلى التدخلات الصحية على المستويات دون الوطنية حيث لا تتوفر بيانات أصول الأسرة وفقًا للحل المطلوب.

The world is facing the great challenge of how to feed the increasing and wealthier population sustainably in the future, with already limited natural resources. The existing literature reveals the negative impacts of animal-based diets, and thus global diet changes are required to ensure future food availability. Nevertheless, it is important to acknowledge that food consumption is more than caloric intake—it is based on personal preferences. We assessed how sustainable food choices vary among Finnish citizens. The respondents (n = 2052) answered nine statements about their consumption behavior. We applied quantitative and qualitative methods, and our results indicate that favoring plant-based diets was the highest among people under 30 and above 60 years old. Middle-aged men with high incomes was the most reluctant group to adopt sustainable diets. Health-related issues and origin of food were the most preferred reasons for food choices, while environmental awareness was ranked lower. The key to mainstream sustainable diets lies in the co-benefits —transition towards more sustainable diets among Finns could be possible, if people felt that they can combine the selfish, hedonistic factors (e.g., health, weight loss) and altruistic factors (e.g., ecological benefits) in their everyday diets.

An increased dependency on motorized modes of transportation has been noticed recently for school children commuting to school, while a major decline in walking to school has occurred. Dependency on motorized modes for commuting to school has many adverse consequences. This paper examines determinants that can influence how children commute to schools for both boys and girls in all school stages in Najran City. Data of morning school commutes were analyzed using a multinomial logit model (MLM). Analytical results indicate that about 37% of students live at a distance of more than 2 km from school, and only 16% live within 500 m of their schools. Almost half of the respondents own more than one car. Regarding walking to school, only 19% of students walk to school, while the rest use motorized modes when commuting to school. The results of MLM show that boys are more likely to walk to school than girls. In addition, age and unemployed family members have a positive relationship with students’ odds of walking while owning cars, income, employed parents, parent education, and distance to school have a negative association with the likelihood of walking to schools. A shortage and uneven distribution of schools, lack of pedestrian infrastructure, and the higher dependency on private drivers can be considered the most important barriers to walking to schools. Thus, responsible agencies must add more schools to reduce the distance between homes and schools, implement safe, paved, and shaded pedestrian sidewalks, and educate students about walking benefits and safety principles.

Il a en outre été révélé que pour parvenir au développement durable, il semble encore difficile d'y parvenir tant qu'il n'y aura pas un effort déterminé du gouvernement pour permettre aux fonctionnaires (RD) et aux non-officiels (PRI) de travailler en harmonie pour améliorer et réduire le nombre de pauvres en milieu rural. La investigación actual investiga la sostenibilidad y su paradigma cambiante en el desarrollo rural en Sindh. Los datos se recopilaron de los cinco distritos de 400 encuestados, Nawabshah, Nausheroferoze, Matyari, Dadu y Tando Allayer, mediante el uso de una técnica aleatoria simple. El cuestionario estructural fue la herramienta básica para medir el cambio. Se reveló que la creación de instituciones, como los funcionarios, elegía representantes a nivel de distrito y de aldea. Tal descentralización de las instituciones ha sido para promover una estrategia participativa para el desarrollo rural a nivel micro o de aldea. Además, se reveló que para lograr el desarrollo sostenible todavía parece ser difícil de alcanzar hasta que haya un esfuerzo decidido del gobierno para permitir que los funcionarios (RD) y no oficiales (PRI) trabajen en armonía para mejorar y reducir el número de pobres rurales. The current research investigates the sustainability and its changing paradigm in rural development in Sindh. Data were collected from 400 respondent's five districts Nawabshah, Nausheroferoze, Matyari, Dadu, and Tando Allayer, by using simple random technique. Structural questionnaire was the basic tool for measuring the change. It was revealed that creation of institutions, such as, officials elected representatives at districts block and village level. Such decentralization of institutions have been to promote a participatory strategy for rural development at Micro/or village level. It was further revealed that To achieve sustainable development it is still seems to be an elusive one until there is a determined government effort to allow officials (RD) and non-official (PRIs) to work in harmony for the betterment and reduction in the number of rural poor. يبحث البحث الحالي في الاستدامة ونموذجها المتغير في التنمية الريفية في السند. تم جمع البيانات من 400 مقاطعة من مقاطعات نوابشاه وناوشيروفيروز وماتياري ودادو وتاندو ألاير باستخدام تقنية عشوائية بسيطة. كان الاستبيان الهيكلي الأداة الأساسية لقياس التغيير. تم الكشف عن إنشاء مؤسسات، مثل المسؤولين المنتخبين الممثلين على مستوى المقاطعات والقرى. وكان الهدف من هذه اللامركزية في المؤسسات هو تعزيز استراتيجية تشاركية للتنمية الريفية على المستوى الجزئي/أو مستوى القرية. كما تم الكشف عن أنه لتحقيق التنمية المستدامة، لا يزال الأمر يبدو بعيد المنال حتى يتم بذل جهد حكومي حازم للسماح للمسؤولين (RD) وغير الرسميين (PRIs) بالعمل في وئام من أجل تحسين وخفض عدد فقراء الريف.

Les données ont été recueillies auprès de 400 répondants des cinq districts de Nawabshah, Nausheroferoze, Matyari, Dadu et Tando Allayer, en utilisant une technique aléatoire simple. Le questionnaire structurel était l'outil de base pour mesurer le changement. Il a été révélé que la création d'institutions, telles que des fonctionnaires élus au niveau des districts et des villages. Cette décentralisation des institutions a eu pour but de promouvoir une stratégie participative pour le développement rural au niveau des micro/ou des villages. Il a en outre été révélé que pour parvenir au développement durable, il semble encore difficile d'y parvenir tant qu'il n'y aura pas un effort déterminé du gouvernement pour permettre aux fonctionnaires (RD) et aux non-officiels (PRI) de travailler en harmonie pour améliorer et réduire le nombre de pauvres en milieu rural. La investigación actual investiga la sostenibilidad y su paradigma cambiante en el desarrollo rural en Sindh. Los datos se recopilaron de los cinco distritos de 400 encuestados, Nawabshah, Nausheroferoze, Matyari, Dadu y Tando Allayer, mediante el uso de una técnica aleatoria simple. El cuestionario estructural fue la herramienta básica para medir el cambio. Se reveló que la creación de instituciones, como los funcionarios, elegía representantes a nivel de distrito y de aldea. Tal descentralización de las instituciones ha sido para promover una estrategia participativa para el desarrollo rural a nivel micro o de aldea. Además, se reveló que para lograr el desarrollo sostenible todavía parece ser difícil de alcanzar hasta que haya un esfuerzo decidido del gobierno para permitir que los funcionarios (RD) y no oficiales (PRI) trabajen en armonía para mejorar y reducir el número de pobres rurales. The current research investigates the sustainability and its changing paradigm in rural development in Sindh. Data were collected from 400 respondent's five districts Nawabshah, Nausheroferoze, Matyari, Dadu, and Tando Allayer, by using simple random technique. Structural questionnaire was the basic tool for measuring the change. It was revealed that creation of institutions, such as, officials elected representatives at districts block and village level. Such decentralization of institutions have been to promote a participatory strategy for rural development at Micro/or village level. It was further revealed that To achieve sustainable development it is still seems to be an elusive one until there is a determined government effort to allow officials (RD) and non-official (PRIs) to work in harmony for the betterment and reduction in the number of rural poor. يبحث البحث الحالي في الاستدامة ونموذجها المتغير في التنمية الريفية في السند. تم جمع البيانات من 400 مقاطعة من مقاطعات نوابشاه وناوشيروفيروز وماتياري ودادو وتاندو ألاير باستخدام تقنية عشوائية بسيطة. كان الاستبيان الهيكلي الأداة الأساسية لقياس التغيير. تم الكشف عن إنشاء مؤسسات، مثل المسؤولين المنتخبين الممثلين على مستوى المقاطعات والقرى. وكان الهدف من هذه اللامركزية في المؤسسات هو تعزيز استراتيجية تشاركية للتنمية الريفية على المستوى الجزئي/أو مستوى القرية. كما تم الكشف عن أنه لتحقيق التنمية المستدامة، لا يزال الأمر يبدو بعيد المنال حتى يتم بذل جهد حكومي حازم للسماح للمسؤولين (RD) وغير الرسميين (PRIs) بالعمل في وئام من أجل تحسين وخفض عدد فقراء الريف.

Conroy; Laura L. Hermann; Charles Olaro; Jackson Amone; Robert O. Opoka; Michael T. Hawkes;Abstract Background Child mortality due to pneumonia is a major global health problem and is associated with hypoxemia. Access to safe and continuous oxygen therapy can reduce mortality; however, low-income countries may lack the necessary resources for oxygen delivery. We have previously demonstrated proof-of-concept that solar-powered oxygen (SPO2) delivery can reliably provide medical oxygen remote settings with minimal access to electricity. This study aims to demonstrate the efficacy of SPO2 in children hospitalized with acute hypoxemic respiratory illness across Uganda. Methods Objectives: Demonstrate efficacy of SPO2 in children hospitalized with acute hypoxemic respiratory illness. Study design: Multi-center, stepped-wedge cluster-randomized trial. Setting: Twenty health facilities across Uganda, a low-income, high-burden country for pediatric pneumonia. Site selection: Facilities with pediatric inpatient services lacking consistent O2 supply on pediatric wards. Participants: Children aged < 5 years hospitalized with hypoxemia (saturation < 92%) warranting hospital admission based on clinical judgement. Randomization methods: Random installation order generated a priori with allocation concealment. Study procedure: Patients receive standard of care within pediatric wards with or without SPO2 system installed. Outcome measures: Primary: 48-h mortality. Secondary: safety, efficacy, SPO2 system functionality, operating costs, nursing knowledge, skills, and retention for oxygen administration. Statistical analysis of primary outcome: Linear mixed effects logistic regression model with 48-h mortality (dependent variable) as a function of SPO2 treatment (before versus after installation), while adjusting for confounding effects of calendar time (fixed effect) and site (random effect). Sample size: 2400 patients across 20 health facilities, predicted to provide 80% power to detect a 35% reduction in mortality after introduction of SPO2, based on a computer simulation of > 5000 trials. Discussion Overall, our study aims to demonstrate mortality benefit of SPO2 relative to standard (unreliable) oxygen delivery. The innovative trial design (stepped-wedge, cluster-randomized) is supported by a computer simulation. Capacity building for nursing care and oxygen therapy is a non-scientific objective of the study. If successful, SPO2 could be scaled across a variety of resource-constrained remote or rural settings in sub-Saharan Africa and beyond. Trial registration Clinicaltrials.gov, NCT03851783.

Jack; Christopher Merritt; Charlotte Hanlon; Charlotte Hanlon; Lorna Gibson; Katherine Sorsdahl; Melanie Abas; Dixon Chibanda; Rosemary Musesengwa; Chitsanzo Mafuta;Less than 1% of biomedical research papers originate in Africa. Locally relevant mental health research, including synthesis of existing evidence, is essential for developing interventions and strengthening health systems, but institutions may lack the capacity to deliver training on systematic reviewing for publication in international journals. This paper describes the development and implementation of a training-of-trainers (ToT) course on systematic reviewing. The ToT prepared junior faculty ('trainers') from universities in Ethiopia, Malawi, and Zimbabwe to lead a five-day systematic reviewing workshop. Using an evaluation framework based on implementation science outcomes, the feasibility of the ToT was assessed by tracking the number of workshops the trainers subsequently conducted and the number of trainers and trainees who participated; acceptability was assessed through post-workshop surveys on trainee perspectives; impact was evaluated through trainee scores on a 15-item multiple choice test on systematic reviewing concepts; and sustainability was assessed based on whether the workshop was integrated into university curricula. Twelve trainers (86% of those trained) facilitated a total of seven workshops in their home countries (total 103 trainees). The first workshop run in each country was evaluated, and there was a significant improvement in mean knowledge scores between pre- and post-tests among trainees (MD= 3.07, t= 5.90, 95% CI 2.02-4.11). In two of the three countries, there are efforts to integrate the systematic review workshop into university curricula. The cost of the workshop led by the international trainer was $1480 per participant, whereas the trainer-led workshops cost approximately $240 per participant. Overall, ToT is relatively new to research capacity building, although it has been used widely in clinical settings. Our findings suggest ToT is a promising, low-cost way to develop both technical skills of individuals and the pedagogical capacity of universities, and to promote sustainability of research capacity building programs that often have time-limited grant funding.
