Questionnaires and focused group discussions were used to collect the data. Stata version 15.0 and thematic analysis were used to analyze quantitative and qualitative data respectively.Results: Of the respondents, 151 (39.4%) had ever donated blood and 50.4% had good knowledge about blood donation. The commonest motivating factor towards blood donation was \"to save someone's life\". Factors associated with practices towards blood donation included: religion, year 2 of study and prior blood donation history. Being Jehovah's Witness reduced the willingness to donate blood by 88% compared to other religions. Thematic analysis revealed four themes namely; students' experiences and thoughts, driving forces to donate blood, fears and misconceptions, and suggestions to increase blood donors.Conclusion: The proportion of undergraduate medical students who had adequate level of knowledge about blood donation was moderately high, however, some of their perceptions towards it were unconventional. To ensure safe and adequate blood supply, design of strategies and tailored programs that promote blood donation is highly recommended..","PeriodicalId":12735,"journal":{"name":"Global Public Health","volume":"19 1","pages":"2311679"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139702293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study used a case study design. Key informant interviews were conducted with 28 purposefully selected respondents. Data were analysed thematically. Quirkos software was used to manage and analyse data. Respondents indicated that integration is enhancing health services, providing an opportunity to strengthen them and improve coverage and access for refugees and host populations. Factors affecting integration include gaps in policy and implementation, ineffective systems and structures for service delivery, inadequate coordination and management and inadequate funding. At the service level challenges including inadequate infrastructure, shortage of health workers and stock out of medicines and essential supplies affect the integration of health services. Overall, structural and systemic issues continue to affect the integration of health services. It is important to strengthen policy implementation and build the capacity of districts to support the integration of health services.","PeriodicalId":12735,"journal":{"name":"Global Public Health","volume":"19 1","pages":"2387445"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142004066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is changing as part of international calls to decolonise global health and stimulate 'empowerment', spawning a growing initiative to hire local photographers. This article, based on interviews with global health photographers, reflects on this paradigm shift. It highlights how behind the laudable aim of 'empowerment' of local global health photography there is a simultaneous exploitation of precarious photographer labour and the emergence of 'glocal' photography elites. The paper argues that empowerment of local photographers can become a euphemism for reducing image production costs and maintaining control over the image content, while extending the scope of mainstream global health visual culture without challenging it. Finally, the article amplifies the growing concern that uncritical engagement with institutionalised empowerment becomes a warrant for the reproduction of local inequalities behind the fashionable façade of cooperation and care.","PeriodicalId":12735,"journal":{"name":"Global Public Health","volume":"19 1","pages":"2394811"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142035689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were collected from prison registers and cross-referenced with the list of tuberculosis notifications in French Guiana.Results: A total of 36 cases of tuberculosis were studied. Incidence was high, at 263/100,000 per year, higher than elsewhere in France and comparable to that in Brazil. Despite visibly effective screening on entry, with little evidence of intra-prison circulation of tuberculosis, 39% of patients were diagnosed within two years of leaving prison (76% were symptomatic). This could be explained by the high prevalence of latent forms (LTI).Discussion: Continued screening on entry, in combination with annual radiological and clinical screening, and reinforced follow-up on release seem indicated to improve patient management and the search for possible LTI.","PeriodicalId":12735,"journal":{"name":"Global Public Health","volume":"19 1","pages":"2332969"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140287362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We developed a new framework and methods to help address these analytical gaps. We used content analysis to systematically identify and novel methods to measure attention to themes, subthemes and geographies represented in more than 2,000 research articles published in two of the longest-running multidisciplinary global health journals, Bulletin of the World Health Organization and Health Policy and Planning, between 2004 and 2018. We found four major themes-health systems and conditions received the most attention, followed by population groups and policy dynamics. Finer grained analysis shows that the broad-based journals feature many common themes and some, including subthemes like communicable diseases, financing and children, are heavily favoured over others, such as workforce and noncommunicable diseases. It reveals publishing gaps for some highly marginalised groups and shows attention to health equity fluctuates. The new framework and methods can be used to (1) check the distribution of publishing attention for consistency with global health and specific journal aims and (2) support inquiry into priority setting dynamics in the broader research publishing arena.","PeriodicalId":12735,"journal":{"name":"Global Public Health","volume":"19 1","pages":"2404662"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142345079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The initial collaborative work strengthened existing anal health services provided at a community-based clinic serving GBMSM in Nairobi. The illness and treatment journey for one patient is highlighted. Prior to attending the community clinical programme, reluctance to disclose symptoms to other healthcare workers, misdiagnoses and incorrect treatment, absence of physical exam conducted, lack of access to effective medications, and self-treatment attempts not only led to late disease detection but also exacerbated the illness itself, culminating in advanced disease progression accompanied by severe pain and suffering. However, once connected to the community clinic with the enhanced anal healthcare programme, the disease was effectively managed by the clinical team.

We reviewed SSB taxation regulations from Mexico, the United Kingdom, Berkeley, Philadelphia, San Francisco and South Africa. Supplementary government documents and academic publications were also reviewed to further discern beverage taxation/exemption and zero-rating. There were a number of beverage types that fell clearly into typically taxed or exempt/zero-rated categories across all six jurisdictions (e.g. pop/soda as taxed and water as zero-rated). Exemptions and ambiguities within the six regulations can generally be grouped as a lack of clarity regarding the meaning and use of milk; the meaning of 'medical purposes' and 'supplemental'; the point at which a beverage is prepared; the form of concentrate (i.e. liquid/frozen/powder) or medium used (e.g. water, coffee); and location of preparation or business size of retailer. SSB tax regulations are complex, unclear, vary across jurisdiction and leave several beverage types with added sugar exempt from taxation or at risk of a legal challenge. Lastly, tax exemptions generally reflect and perpetuate existing sociopolitical dynamics within the food system.","PeriodicalId":12735,"journal":{"name":"Global Public Health","volume":"19 1","pages":"2394806"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142055384","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

TB affects family and community relationships mainly due to impacts on the household's finances.
