Exploring the relationships between pedestrian behaviours and traffic safety attitudes in six countries Focus was on the relationships between a respondent’s attitude towards risky or rule violating on-road behaviours (of other road users, or more generally, not specific to pedestrians), and the extent to which they reported performing three types of risky pedestrian behaviours (i.e., intentional rule violations, errors in judgement or memory, and aggressive behaviours). https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1369847819305923?via%3Dihub

Use of standardised patients to assess quality of healthcare in Nairobi, Kenya: a pilot, cross-sectional study with international comparisons The quality of clinical care can be reliably measured in multiple settings using standardised patients (SPs), but this methodology has not been extensively used in Sub-Saharan Africa. This study validates the use of SPs for a variety of tracer conditions in Nairobi, Kenya, and provides new results on the quality of care in sampled primary care clinics. https://gh.bmj.com/content/bmjgh/2/2/e000333.full.pdf Prof. Frank Wafula June, 2017
Effect of project-based experiential learning on the health service delivery indicators: a quasi-experiment study Kenya’s new constitution passed in 2010 recognizes the right of quality care resulting in the devolution of health service delivery to the sub-national units called counties in 2013. However, the health system performance continues to be poor. The main identified challenge is poor health systems leadership. Evidence shows that addressing health system leadership challenges using different leadership intervention models has the potential to improve health outcomes. The purpose of this study is to report findings on the effect of project-based experiential learning on the health service delivery indicators addressed by 15 health management teams from 13 counties in Kenya, as compared to the non-trained managers. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12913-020-4949-5

Plasma nevirapine concentrations predict virological and adherence failure in Kenyan HIV-1 infected patients with extensive antiretroviral treatment exposure Treatment failure is a key challenge in the management of HIV-1 infection. We conducted a mixed-model survey of plasma nevirapine (NVP) concentrations (cNVP) and viral load in order to examine associations with treatment and adherence outcomes among Kenyan patients on prolonged antiretroviral therapy (ART) https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0172960 Prof. Gilbert Kokwaro Feb, 2017
Addressing Health System’s Leadership Challenges through Different Problem-Solving Approaches The purpose of this study was to describe health system leadership challenges in 19 counties in Kenya and how the challenges have been addressed. The research design is longitudinal without a random assignment. Comparison of catalyst projects’ key health system performance indicators for baseline, endline, and post-training indicated positive results (p=0.0018 and 0.7655) respectively. https://www.proquest.com/scholarly-journals/addressing-health-systems-leadership-challenges/docview/2284456037/se-2

Geographical Variability in Paromomycin Pharmacokinetics Does Not Explain Efficacy Differences between Eastern African and Indian Visceral Leishmaniasis Patients Intramuscular paromomycin monotherapy to treat visceral leishmaniasis (VL) has been shown to be effective for Indian patients, while a similar regimen resulted in lower efficacy in Eastern Africa, which could be related to differences in paromomycin pharmacokinetics. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40262-021-01036-8 Prof. Gilbert Kokwaro June, 2021
COVID-19 Effect on Access to Maternal Health Services in Kenya This study aimed to assess the extent of the impact of the imposed lockdowns and curfew on access to maternal health services for women living in informal settlements. We also assessed women’s knowledge of the signs and symptoms of COVID-19, women’s perceived risk of infection to further understand how the virus affects women and their health during the pandemic. https://doi.org/10.3389/fgwh.2020.599267
