Item type: Item , Access status: Metadata only , The Impact of Place of Residence on Antiretroviral Therapy Adherence: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis(Wiley Online Library, 2025) Badru, O. A.; Edeh, J. C.; Okonkwo, R. I.; Bain, L. E.; Adeagbo, O. A.This systematic review and meta-analysis examined how place of residence (urban vs. rural) influences adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) among people living with HIV (PLWH) in Nigeria. Synthesizing data from six studies, the analysis found that PLWH residing in urban areas were more likely to adhere to ART than those in rural settings, suggesting that access factors linked to residence affect treatment adherence. The authors recommend prioritizing support for rural PLWH who may face greater barriers to care.Item type: Item , Access status: Metadata only , Barriers And Facilitators to Accessing Post Sexual-Based Violence Health Services Among Young Women Attending Higher Education Institutions in Nigeria(BMC, 2025) Ogedegbe, A. E.; Chen, Z. E.; Adeagbo, O.; Badru, O.; Mogo, E. R. I.; Yankam, B. M.; Oreh, A.; Gadanya, M. A.; Bain, L. E.This study explored barriers and facilitators to accessing post sexual-based violence (SBV) health services among young women (18-24 years) attending higher education institutions in Nigeria. Using an online survey of 114 participants, the research identified major barriers including a lack of awareness of services, stigma/shame, and inadequate support systems. Facilitators included assurance of confidentiality and access to free services. The findings highlight the need for multilevel efforts by families, communities, civil society, and governments to improve access to essential SBV health services.Item type: Item , Access status: Metadata only , Effective Community Engagement in One Health Research in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Systematic Review(PubMed Central, 2025) Sangong, S.; Bain, L. E.; Saah, F. I.This systematic review synthesizes empirical evidence on community engagement (CE) in One Health research in Sub-Saharan Africa, an approach linking human, animal, and environmental health. It identifies limited but meaningful engagement practices, such as community mobilization and capacity building, and discusses barriers including low research literacy, language differences, and contextual disparities. The review highlights best practices and the importance of centering communities in One Health research to improve health outcomes and responses to zoonotic disease threats.Item type: Item , Access status: Metadata only , Two Decades of Women's Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights in Nigeria: Successes, Challenges, And Opportunities(African Journal of Reproductive Health, 2025) Ogedegbe, A. E.; Adeagbo, O.; Yankam, B. M.; Badru, O.; Gadanya, M. A.; Bain, L. E.This study examines trends in women's sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in Nigeria over two decades using Demographic and Health Survey data from 2003 to 2018. It reports improvements in some key indicators but highlights persistent gaps in contraceptive prevalence, skilled delivery assistance, child marriage, and female genital mutilation. The paper calls for gender-transformative approaches to close gaps, expand the health workforce, and integrate evidence into culturally appropriate interventions to advance SRHR outcomes.Item type: Item , Access status: Metadata only , After USAID: What Now for Aid and Africa?(BMJ, 2025) Kyobutungi, C.; Okereke, E.; Abimbola, S.This editorial discusses the implications of the United States withdrawal of funding from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the potential consequences for health and development aid in Africa. It reflects on how abrupt cuts in external assistance may disrupt established health programs, undermine progress made in public health, and necessitate rethinking of aid strategies to enhance resilience and support sustainable domestic systems in African countries.
