Quasi-Experimental Methodological Assessment of Community Health Centre Systems in Ghana
type: item
description: Community health centres in Ghana have been established to improve access to healthcare services, particularly for rural populations. However, their effectiveness and efficiency require rigorous evaluation. A mixed-method approach was employed, including quantitative data analysis from surveys and administrative records alongside qualitative interviews with healthcare providers and patients. The study used regression analysis to model efficiency gains. Analysis revealed that resource adequacy had a significant positive impact on patient satisfaction scores (β = +0.32, SE = ±0.15), indicating an improvement in service quality despite resource constraints. The quasi-experimental design allowed for the identification of efficiency gains without manipulating treatment interventions, providing robust evidence for future policy development. Efforts should focus on enhancing resource management and training healthcare staff to maximise operational effectiveness and patient care outcomes.

Policy Evaluation of Malaria Diagnosis and Treatment Programmes in Nigerian Health Facilities
type: item
description: Malaria remains a significant public health issue in Nigeria, affecting millions of people annually. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including qualitative interviews and quantitative analysis of facility-level data. The review revealed an overall test positivity rate of 32% among malaria patients tested at clinics, indicating room for improvement in diagnostic accuracy. Current malaria treatment protocols are generally effective but require further refinement to enhance patient satisfaction and reduce misdiagnosis rates. Enhanced training programmes for healthcare providers and the implementation of more sensitive diagnostic tests are recommended. Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.

Socioeconomic Impacts of School-Based Adolescent Maternal Health Clubs in Sierra Leonean Communities, Ghana
type: item
description: Adolescent maternal health (AMH) has emerged as a critical area of focus in global public health initiatives. A mixed-methods approach combining quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews was employed. Data were collected from a sample of 300 participants across four communities in Ghana. The analysis revealed a significant increase (p < 0.05) in adolescent knowledge about reproductive health, which translated into improved contraceptive use and reduced unintended pregnancies. Economic productivity among club members showed an average growth rate of 12% over the study period. School-based AMH clubs have had positive socioeconomic impacts on adolescents' health behaviors and economic outcomes. These findings support the need for continued investment in such programmes to address adolescent reproductive health issues. Policy makers should prioritise the expansion of school-based AMH clubs, especially in resource-limited settings where they can significantly impact adolescent well-being and community development. adolescent maternal health, school-based interventions, socioeconomic impacts, Ghana, Sierra Leone Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.

Methodological Evaluation of Community Health Centre Systems in Kenya Using Multilevel Regression Analysis for Clinical Outcomes Assessment
type: item
description: Community health centres (CHCs) play a crucial role in healthcare delivery in Kenya, particularly in underserved areas. However, their effectiveness and impact on clinical outcomes are not well understood. The study will employ multilevel regression models to analyse data from CHCs across Kenya. The first-level model will examine within-centre variations while accounting for centre differences through random effects at the second level. We expect to find significant centre variability in patient recovery rates, with a notable proportion of variance explained by centre-specific factors such as staff training and equipment availability. The multilevel regression analysis will provide insights into the strengths and weaknesses of CHCs in various regions, facilitating evidence-based policy recommendations. Policy makers should prioritise investment in training for CHC staff and ensuring adequate infrastructure to enhance clinical outcomes. Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.

Recovery Measures for Mental Health Support Among Liberian Healthcare Workers Post-Ebola Crisis
type: item
description: The Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak in Liberia from to had a profound impact on healthcare workers, leading to significant mental health challenges. A quantitative survey was conducted using a structured questionnaire administered online and through face-to-face interviews. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistical methods. Among the respondents (n=200), approximately 65% reported symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or major depressive disorder, indicating a substantial mental health burden necessitating targeted interventions. The study concludes that comprehensive support programmes incorporating psychotherapy and peer support groups significantly improve mental health outcomes among Liberian healthcare workers. Policy makers should prioritise the implementation of robust mental health services in post-Ebola settings to mitigate long-term psychological distress among frontline healthcare personnel.

Cost-Effectiveness Evaluation of Ghanaian Community Health Centre Systems Using Multilevel Regression Analysis
type: item
description: Community health centres in Ghana play a crucial role in addressing healthcare needs within rural areas. However, their cost-effectiveness and efficiency vary significantly across different regions. A systematic review approach was employed to collect data from various studies published between and , focusing on the cost-effectiveness of community health centres in Ghana. Multilevel regression analysis was used to account for both individual-level (e.g., patient outcomes) and organisational-level (e.g., healthcare facility performance) effects. The multilevel regression model revealed that clinic location proximity to urban centers significantly influenced the cost-effectiveness of community health centres, with a significant coefficient indicating this relationship. Additionally, there was a moderate positive correlation between patient satisfaction and clinic efficiency, though not statistically robust. This study provides insights into the operational dynamics of Ghanaian community health centres by utilising multilevel regression analysis to evaluate their cost-effectiveness. Further research should explore interventions that could enhance the cost-effectiveness of these facilities in underserved regions, particularly those with limited resources and infrastructure. Community Health Centres, Cost-Effectiveness, Ghana, Multilevel Regression Analysis Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.

Methodological Evaluation of Urban Primary Care Networks in Ethiopia Using Difference-in-Differences for Clinical Outcomes Measurement,
type: item
description: This research protocol focuses on evaluating urban primary care networks in Ethiopia to improve health outcomes. Primary care networks will be evaluated through a DID regression analysis with robust standard errors to account for potential confounding factors such as geographical variations and baseline health disparities. A preliminary analysis suggests that primary care networks have led to an improvement in average recovery times by approximately 15% compared to pre-network implementation levels, though further data collection is needed to confirm these results. Despite the initial positive findings, more comprehensive longitudinal studies are required to validate these preliminary observations and understand long-term impacts. Recommendation for future research includes extending the study period and expanding the geographic scope to include rural areas in Ethiopia. Primary Care Networks, Difference-in-Differences, Clinical Outcomes, Ethiopian Health Systems Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.

Rural-to-Urban Migration Patterns' Impact on Healthcare Access in Ethiopian Urban Settings
type: item
description: Rural-to-urban migration in Ethiopia is a significant demographic shift impacting healthcare delivery systems. A mixed-methods approach combining quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews was employed, aiming to capture both macro-level trends and micro-level experiences of migrants. Data analysis revealed a substantial increase (30%) in migrant population seeking healthcare services compared to non-migrants, necessitating enhanced service capacity and better integration strategies. Enhanced access to urban healthcare services requires concerted efforts from both governmental health authorities and community organizations to address the growing demand and ensure equitable care distribution. Develop targeted public health campaigns promoting awareness of available services among migrants, implement telemedicine solutions for underserved areas, and allocate resources proportionately based on migrant population density. Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.

Telehealth Initiatives for Diabetic Retinopathy Screening in Nigerian Remote Areas
type: item
description: Diabetic retinopathy is a common complication of diabetes that can lead to vision loss if not managed effectively. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including a survey of healthcare providers and qualitative interviews with patients to assess the feasibility and impact of telehealth services. Telehealth initiatives showed promise in terms of increasing access to diabetic retinopathy screening in remote areas, although there were challenges related to infrastructure and patient adherence. While preliminary results indicate potential benefits, further research is needed to validate these findings and optimise the implementation of telehealth solutions for diabetic care in Nigeria. Future studies should prioritise stakeholder engagement, technological upgrades, and cost-sharing mechanisms to ensure sustainable telehealth services. Diabetic Retinopathy, Telehealth, Remote Areas, Nigerian Healthcare Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.

Methodological Evaluation of Quasi-Experimental Designs in Ethiopian District Hospitals Systems
type: item
description: Quasi-experimental designs are increasingly used in healthcare research to evaluate interventions without randomization. In Ethiopia’s district hospitals, these designs can help assess yield improvement initiatives. A comprehensive search strategy was employed across multiple databases including PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Studies were selected based on predefined criteria for inclusion and exclusion, ensuring a robust sample of quasi-experimental designs focusing on yield improvement initiatives in Ethiopian district hospitals. The analysis identified a consistent trend towards the use of pre-post design with control groups to measure yield improvements. However, methodological weaknesses such as varying baseline comparability across studies were noted. This review highlights the need for standardization in quasi-experimental designs within Ethiopian district hospitals to enhance internal and external validity. Future research should advocate for standardised pre-post design with control groups and robust statistical methods to ensure reliable yield improvement measurements. Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.

Methodological Evaluation of Community Health Centres Systems in Nigeria Using Difference-in-Differences for Cost-Effectiveness Analysis
type: item
description: Community health centers in Nigeria have faced challenges in improving healthcare outcomes and reducing costs. This study aims to evaluate their effectiveness. A difference-in-differences approach will be employed to measure the impact of community health centers. Data from pre- and post-intervention periods will be analysed for cost-effectiveness assessment. The analysis indicates that community health centers have reduced healthcare costs by approximately 15% in targeted areas, with a 95% confidence interval around this estimate. Community health centre systems show promise in improving healthcare efficiency and reducing expenditures. Further research is recommended to confirm these findings across wider regions. Policy makers should consider expanding community health centers based on the observed cost savings and positive health outcomes. Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.

title: Methodological Evaluation of Community Health Centres Systems in Nigeria Using Multilevel Regression Analysis for Adoption Rates Assessment
description: { "background": "Community health centers (CHCs) in Nigeria are essential for providing accessible healthcare services to underserved populations. However, their adoption and effectiveness vary significantly across different regions.", "purposeandobjectives": "The purpose of this study is to evaluate the systems of CHCs in Nigeria using multilevel regression analysis with an emphasis on measuring the adoption rates of these centers. The objectives are to identify factors influencing CHC adoption at both individual and community levels, and to assess their impact on healthcare outcomes.", "methodology": "The methodology will employ mixed-effects logistic regression models for analysing data collected from multiple sources including administrative records and surveys conducted in various Nigerian states. The specific model equation is $logit(p) = \beta0 + \beta1X1 + \beta2X2$, where $p$ represents the probability of CHC adoption, and $X1$ and $X2$ are independent variables such as socioeconomic status and infrastructure quality.", "findings": "The multilevel regression analysis reveals that factors such as improved healthcare facility amenities and higher community awareness significantly increase the likelihood of CHC adoption. For instance, in one state, a 5% increase in the availability of modern diagnostic equipment leads to an estimated 3.2% increase in CHC adoption rates.", "conclusion": "This study provides valuable insights into the determinants of CHC adoption and their potential impact on healthcare delivery in Nigeria. The findings suggest that targeted interventions aimed at enhancing facility quality and public education could substantially boost CHC utilization.", "recommendations": "Based on the empirical results, policy makers are recommended to prioritise investments in upgrading CHC facilities and implementing community health promotion programmes to improve access to care for marginalized populations.", "keywords": "Community Health Centers, Nigeria…

Bayesian Hierarchical Model for Measuring Adoption Rates in Public Health Surveillance Systems in Ethiopia
type: item
description: Public health surveillance systems are crucial for monitoring disease outbreaks and ensuring effective public health responses in Ethiopia. However, their adoption rates vary across regions and institutions, necessitating a methodological evaluation to optimise these systems. A Bayesian hierarchical model was employed to analyse data from multiple regions and institutions. The model accounts for both fixed effects (e.g., institutional characteristics) and random effects (e.g., regional variability), providing robust estimates of adoption rates. The analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between the level of healthcare infrastructure and the adoption rate of public health surveillance systems, with an estimated coefficient of 0.85 on a standardised scale. The Bayesian hierarchical model provided a nuanced understanding of factors affecting system adoption, highlighting the importance of investing in infrastructure to enhance surveillance capabilities. Based on these findings, it is recommended that public health authorities prioritise investment in healthcare infrastructure and develop targeted interventions to improve the adoption rates of public health surveillance systems. Bayesian hierarchical model, Public health surveillance, Adoption rate, Ethiopia Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.

Methodological Evaluation of Rural Clinics Systems in Ghana
type: item
description: Rural health clinics in Ghana face challenges related to service delivery and patient outcomes. Current literature lacks a comprehensive methodological framework for evaluating these systems. A mixed-methods approach will be employed, including quantitative data collection through standardised surveys (N = 500) and qualitative insights from interviews (n = 10). Data analysis will use regression models to assess the impact of clinic interventions on clinical outcomes. Initial findings suggest a significant improvement in patient satisfaction scores ($R^2$ = 0.34, p < 0.05) after implementing quality assurance measures. The proposed methodology provides a robust framework for evaluating rural health clinic systems and can be adapted to other settings with similar challenges. Health policymakers should prioritise data collection and analysis methods that align with the developed quasi-experimental design to enhance service delivery effectiveness.

Patient Satisfaction and Success Rates in Telemedicine Programmes for Malaria Treatment in Rural Zimbabwe
type: item
description: Telemedicine programmes have been implemented in various settings to improve access to healthcare services, particularly for remote or underserved populations such as those living in rural areas of sub-Saharan Africa where malaria is prevalent. A mixed-method approach was employed, including quantitative surveys of patient satisfaction and qualitative interviews with healthcare providers and patients. Data collection took place from January to June in rural areas of Zimbabwe where telemedicine services were operational. Patient satisfaction scores averaged 85%, indicating a positive user experience despite some technical issues that affected the success rate, which was estimated at approximately 90% for malaria treatment completion. The qualitative interviews highlighted challenges such as limited internet connectivity and patient literacy in using teleconsultation platforms. The study demonstrated that telemedicine can be an effective tool for delivering healthcare services to rural populations with high levels of satisfaction from patients, though technical infrastructure needs improvement. Continuous investment in telecommunication infrastructure is recommended alongside ongoing training and support for both health workers and patients to overcome current barriers to adoption. Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
