Perceived discrimination, adaptation and saudade among African migrants
This study aims to examine the relationships between perception of discrimination, adaptation and saudade.The sample consisted of 655 African migrants from Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau and Mozambique living in Portugal with a mean age of 38 years. The average duration of stay in Portugal was 22 years.Results indicated that length of residence impacted the difficulties experienced with saudade: respondents with longer lengths of stay in the society of settlement experienced less difficulty with saudade. As predicted, the results indicated that higher perceptions of discrimination and loneliness correlated positivel...

Mobility and HIV vulnerabilities among female sex workers in Guinea-Bissau: findings from an integrated bio-behavioral survey
Mobility is an important risk determinant for HIV given the potential for intermittent access to HIV services. Mobility may be particularly relevant among female sex workers, (FSW) who have been shown to be at... (Source: BMC Public Health)

Using real-life data to model the impact of increasing BCG vaccination coverage and scar prevalence on all-cause infant mortality
CONCLUSIONS: We confirmed previous observations: having a BCG scar markedly reduces infant MR. Increasing current global 2-month BCG vaccination coverage from 76% to 99%, and scar prevalence among vaccinated infants from 52% to 95% might reduce global infant mortality by >200,000 deaths/year. Thus, optimising BCG vaccination programmes to focus on increasing early BCG vaccination coverage and the overall scar prevalence would have major public health benefits.PMID:37479121 | DOI:10.1016/j.annepidem.2023.07.007 (Source: Annals of Epidemiology)

Protocol for a cluster randomised placebo-controlled trial of adjunctive ivermectin mass drug administration for malaria control on the Bijagos Archipelago of Guinea-Bissau: the MATAMAL trial
Introduction
As malaria declines, innovative tools are required to further reduce transmission and achieve elimination. Mass drug administration (MDA) of artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) is capable of reducing malaria transmission where coverage of control interventions is already high, though the impact is short-lived. Combining ACT with ivermectin, an oral endectocide shown to reduce vector survival, may increase its impact, while also treating ivermectin-sensitive co-endemic diseases and minimising the potential impact of ACT resistance in this context.
Methods and analysis
MATAMAL is a cluster-randomised pl...
