This study aimed to determine the scope of household, accessibility to malaria care and factors associated with household malaria in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Methods: This was a community‑based cross‑sectional study conducted in an urban and a rural sites in which 152 households participated, including 82 urban and 70 rural households (1029 members in total). The ‘malaria indicator questionnaire’ (MIQ) was anonymously answered by household heads (respondents), reporting on malaria status of household members in the last 12 months. Results: There were 67.8% of households using insecticide‑treated bed nets (ITN) only, 14.0% used indoor residual spraying (IRS) only, 7.3% used ordinary bed nets (without insecticide treatment), 1.4% used mosquito repelling cream, 2.2% combined ITN and IRS, whereas 7.3% of households did not employ any preventive measure; p < 0.01). In addi‑ tion, 96.7% of households were afected by malaria (at least one malaria case), and malaria frequency per household was relatively high (mean: 4.5 3.1 cases reported) in the last 12 months. The mean individual malaria care expendi‑ ture was relatively high (101.6 ± 10.6 USD) in the previous 12 months; however, the majority of households (74.5%) earned less than 50 USD monthly.± In addition, of the responders who sufered from malaria, 24.1% did not have access to malaria care at a health setting. Furthermore, a multivariate analysis with adjustment for age, education level and occupation showed that household size (OR 1.43 0.13; 95% CI 1.18–1.73; p < 0.001), inappropriate water source (OR 2.41 0.18; 95% CI 1.17–2.96; p < 0.05) =absence± of periodic water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) intervention in residential= ±area (OR 1.63 1.15; 95% CI 1.10–2.54; p < 0.05), and rural residence (OR 4.52 2.47; 95% CI 1.54–13.21; p < 0.01) were associated= with± household malaria. = ± Conclusion: This study showed that household size, income, WASH status and rural site were malaria‑associated fac‑ tors. Scaling up malaria prevention through improving WASH status in the residential environment may contribute to reducing the disease burden.

  • A North–South-South Partnership in Higher Education to Develop Health
    Horwood et al. Health Res Policy Sys (2021) 19:79 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12961-021-00728-8 RESEARCH Open Access A North–South-South partnership in higher education to develop health research capacity in the Democratic Republic of the Congo: the challenge of fnding a common language Christiane Horwood1, Sphindile Mapumulo1, Lyn Haskins1, Vaughn John2, Silondile Luthuli1, Thorkild Tylleskär3, Paulin Mutombo4, Ingunn M. S. Engebretsen3, Mala Ali Mapatano4 and Anne Hatløy3,5* Abstract Background: Globally, increasing numbers of higher education institutions (HEIs) in non-English-speaking countries have adopted English as a medium of instruction (EMI), because of the perception that this provides opportunities to attract high-calibre students and academic staf, and engage with the international research community. We report an evaluation of a North–South-South collaboration to develop health research capacity in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) by establishing a postgraduate programme in nutritional epidemiology at the Kinshasa School of Public Health (KSPH), where EMI was adopted. We report experiences and perceptions of stakeholders, facilitators and students about using EMI. Methods: In-depth qualitative interviews were conducted between October and December 2019 among conveni- ence sampled stakeholders (8), facilitators (11) and students (12) involved in the programme from all three partner institutions (University of Kinshasa; University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa; University of Bergen, Norway). Interviews were conducted in participants’ language of preference (English or French), audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and translated into English when required. Analysis employed a thematic approach. Results: Most participants viewed EMI positively, reporting that studying in English created opportunities to access relevant literature, improve interactions with the scientifc community and advance their careers.

Weiters stehen auch viele Daten von dem Abbau des TRIGA Forschungreaktors in Hannover zu Verfügung. Wird von der Außenseite des Betons Richtung Reaktortank vorangearbeitet, steigt die Strahlenbelastung für das eingesetzte Personal.

Mutaleb Tuskegee University Draft for Comment – Released in September 2014 Acknowledgements This document was written as part of a series of InnovATE background studies. These are studies conducted on the AET system in a particular country, at times with particular attention paid to an AET institution or program. Background studies are based partially on USAID mission interest, partially on the presence of interesting AET activities or problems, and on providing a geographical balance. Most of the initial work on the studies will be done through desktop review of available literature and communication with experts. The remainder of the information is sometimes amassed through data collection visits. Lessons learned in one country can often be applied in other countries. The InnovATE project was made possible by the United States Agency for International Development and the generous support of the American people through USAID Cooperative Agreement No. AID-OAA-L-12- 00002.
