Add to Calendar 2024-05-14 12:45:00 2024-05-14 13:45:00 Estimating death rates in complex humanitarian emergencies using the network survival method Reliable estimates of death rates in complex humanitarian emergencies are critical for assessing the severity of a crisis and for effectively allocating resources. However, in many humanitarian settings, logistical and security concerns make conventional methods for estimating death rates infeasible. In this study, we develop and test a new method for estimating death rates in humanitarian emergencies. Our method is based on the idea that reports about deaths in survey respondents’ social networks can be used to estimate death rates. To test our method, we collected original data in a setting where reliable estimates of death rates are in high demand, Tanganyika Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Qualitative work suggested testing two different types of personal networks as the basis for death rate estimates: deaths among immediate neighbors and deaths among extended kin. We evaluate our new method for estimating mortality rates in humanitarian emergencies by benchmarking against a contemporaneous retrospective household mortality survey. Our empirical results illustrate the settings and assumptions under which we would expect our new method to produce reliable estimates of crude death rates.SpeakersCasey Breen, Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Oxford, affiliated with Nuffield College Casey Breen completed his PhD in Demography and MA in Biostatistics both at UC Berkeley. His research develops and applies computational and demographic methods to examine questions in population health. In one line of research, he investigates mortality disparities and dynamics in the United States using large-scale administrative data. In a second line of research, he uses network-based methods to estimate deaths rates in humanitarian emergenciesEvent noticesPlease note that you can join this event in person or you can join the session remotely https://lshtm.zoom.us/j/93422808767 Georges Reniers Europe/London public

Navigating the swampy lowlands: developing methods for 'big picture' evidence synthesis

lsham55 — Tue, 16 Apr 2024 12:41:25 +0000

Navigating the swampy lowlands: developing methods for 'big picture' evidence synthesis by lsham55 Tue, 04/16/2024 - 13:41

Scoping, mapping and evidence gap maps (EGMs) are an increasingly popular approach used to support decision making where a ‘Big Picture’ view of evidence is needed. There remain striking inconsistencies in the ways that terms and reference methodological guidance are used to inform approaches. There are also a range of methodological challenges, including defining the breadth of the question, large search yields, and varied types of evidence extracted and described. This session will present an overview of research on the methods being adopted in these types of reviews and consider how apparently simple systematic processes do not match the ‘swampy, messy and confusing’ reality of undertaking a Big Picture review.

Speaker

Fiona Campbell, Newcastle University

Fiona Campbell is a Senior Lecturer In Evidence Synthesis at the Institute of Population Health Sciences and Innovation Observatory at Newcastle University.  She is also the editor for the Campbell Child and Young Persons Wellbeing Coordinating Group and has experience in undertaking evidence synthesis to support decision making across a wide range of topics.  She has expertise in using scoping, mapping and evidence and gap map methodologies to address broad research questions and is leading methodological research in this area.  She also really enjoys building the capacity of researchers to apply these methods and is currently supporting the development of evidence and gap maps to support WHO guidance for tumour classification in pathology.

Perspectives on the use of epidemiological models in humanitarian emergencies

lsham55 — Fri, 03 May 2024 09:51:42 +0000

Perspectives on the use of epidemiological models in humanitarian emergencies by lsham55 Fri, 05/03/2024 - 10:51

Having worked in outbreak response and at the interface between academia and the humanitarian world for many years, as a modeller and as the person translating model results into operational recommendations, Flavio Finger will reflect on the application of epidemiological models to humanitarian emergencies and the specific difficulties arising in these contexts. The seminar will present different purposes models can have and how to communicate about these, reflect on how to overcome the disconnect between academics and decision makers that is often observed, and talk about pathways to improve the quality of and the trust in forecasts and scenario models.

Speaker

Dr Flavio Finger, Epicentre, Médecins Sans Frontières

Flavio Finger joined Epicentre in 2019 where he supports MSF operations by providing epidemiological insights into Ebola, Measles, cholera, COVID-19 and other outbreaks and through operational research. He is passionate about reinforcing the links between classic field epidemiology and modern analytic and data-driven approaches and coordinates a group of epidemiologists based in Europe and the DRC. He leads a number of research projects, including:

Inaugural Lecture of Professor Johanna Hanefeld and Professor Mishal Khan

lsham55 — Fri, 12 Apr 2024 10:26:49 +0000

Inaugural Lecture of Professor Johanna Hanefeld and Professor Mishal Khan by lsham55 Fri, 04/12/2024 - 11:26

This joint inaugural lecture will see talks from two LSHTM Professors of the Department of Global Health and Development in the Faculty of Public Health and Policy.

Power in Global Health – who holds it and why?

Why do global health initiatives succeed or fail? The field of policy analysis for health by Professor Johanna Hanefeld

This lecture will explore the central role of power in global health. Johanna's talk will focus on health policy analysis, specifically on why policies developed on the basis of good evidence and with the best intentions sometimes succeed and often fail during the implementation phase. This at least in part as they insufficiently consider the wider distribution of power and interests within a given country or setting. The talk will draw on research focused on HIV, on migration and on AMR. It will also reflect on the extent to which networks offer a method to understand these broader questions of political economy. Johanna will reflect on health policy as a discipline, and on positionality as a researcher in this field.

Who do Global Health Initiatives really serve? by Professor Mishal S Khan

In her inaugural lecture, Mishal S Khan, Professor of Global Public Health, will focus on interests, prejudices and power dynamics that shape how global health operates. She will raise questions about the role of health systems and global health institutions in the health inequities that we see today, illustrating her insights with examples from her work on governance of the private healthcare sector and forces that shape health policymaking. Mishal will also briefly share her career journey, starting with her unexpectedly publishing a randomised trial on gender difference in tuberculosis diagnosis in The Lancet aged only 24, and later questioning which types of knowers and knowledge are elevated by powerful platforms in global health.

Speakers

Professor Johanna Hanefeld, LSHTM

Jo is a health policy and systems analyst working on public health systems in low and middle income countries. While Jo's work has explored a wide range of topics, from migration and trade, to HIV and AMR, central themes within this work have been around power and the role of networks. She has combined her career in academia with more applied work in global public health including at the WHO. She is currently leading the international work at the Robert Koch-Institute, Germany's National Public health institute and its acting vice president.

Professor Mishal S Khan, LSHTM

Mishal is a social epidemiologist known for her expertise on strengthening health systems and policies for infectious disease control and her leadership on addressing issues of governance and equitable practices in Global Health. In addition to her longstanding work on health policies in her native Pakistan, over the past two decades she has led also research in China, Myanmar, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Kenya and Cambodia. Globally recognised for her ground-breaking research and bravery in confronting injustices, Mishal also holds positions at the Aga Khan University in Karachi (Pakistan) and the Centre on Universal Health at Chatham House (UK). In addition to a PhD and MSc from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Mishal holds an MA in Natural Sciences from the University of Cambridge. She has authored more than 100 papers in leading journals and the internationally acclaimed textbook: Making Health Policy (2023).

Decoloniality and indigenous methods in global health evaluation with Professor Bagele Chilisa

lsham55 — Fri, 03 May 2024 10:10:42 +0000

Decoloniality and indigenous methods in global health evaluation with Professor Bagele Chilisa by lsham55 Fri, 05/03/2024 - 11:10

This lecture marks the launch of the LSHTM Centre for Evaluation event series entitled: Future directions in global health evaluation: towards a decolonial and equitable framework for practice. This series will bring together an exciting international group of authors, academics, and scholars involved in a growing movement to transform evaluation theory, methods and practice through the application of approaches that are decolonial and equitable.

In this first lecture in the series, we welcome Professor Bagele Chilisa to discuss methodological colonialism in global health evaluation, and introduce postcolonial and indigenous paradigms and approaches to evaluation, including the Made in Africa Evaluation framework. This event will be of interest to students, practitioners and researchers seeking to advance decoloniality and best practices in global health evaluation.

More information on the event series can be found on the LSHTM Centre for Evaluation website

The integration of VCT, PrEP navigator and HIV case management in Taiwan

lsham55 — Thu, 11 Apr 2024 09:46:07 +0000

The integration of VCT, PrEP navigator and HIV case management in Taiwan by lsham55 Thu, 04/11/2024 - 10:46

This presentation will explore Taiwan's integrated approach to HIV prevention and treatment. The talk will delve into three-in-one integrated programs: Voluntary Counselling and Testing (VCT), PrEP navigation, and HIV case management. VCT provides confidential testing and counselling services to individuals who may have been exposed to HIV. PrEP navigators assist people in accessing pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). Finally, HIV case management offers ongoing support and care to people living with HIV. By examining these interconnected programs, the talk will illuminate how Taiwan is working to effectively address HIV and ensure comprehensive care for those affected.

Speaker

Professor Nai-Ying Monica Ko, National Cheng Kung University

Prof Ko is Distinguished Professor in the Departments of Nursing and Public Health at National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan, where she has a strong track-record in public health and nursing research. Prof Ko is a well-known figure in Taiwan and internationally as a long-time advocate for health equity and social justice. She pioneered HIV counseling and testing programs in Taiwan in early 1990s and has since been a vocal advocate for the human rights of minority populations in Asia, especially as they relate to healthcare access. She was active in the COVID epidemic as a frontline coordinator, consultant to the Taiwan CDC and two city governments, and as a researcher.

Inaugural Lecture of Professor Claudia Hanson

lsham55 — Tue, 09 Apr 2024 08:59:27 +0000

Inaugural Lecture of Professor Claudia Hanson by lsham55 Tue, 04/09/2024 - 09:59

In her inaugural lecture, Professor Claudia Hanson will share her experience of moving through different disciplines, institutions, and countries – always with the passion to improve health for women, mothers and their babies in low- and middle-income settings.

Reflecting on her personal life and her career pathway she will discuss the burden and underlying conditions together with the health systems constraints which lead, every year, to four million lost lives in pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period.

Her work integrates clinical & public health thinking, implementation & research, and balancing the needs of women & healthcare workers.

Speaker

Professor Claudia Hanson, LSHTM

Claudia Hanson’s career path has evolved from her personal experience of being an adolescent mother, specialising in Gynecology and Obstetrics, working in district health systems in Tanzania and finally moving to research with a focus on health systems research and implementation science. Claudia lived and worked in Tanzania for three different assignments: 2001-03 to strengthen district health systems for reproductive health (German Development Service), 2005-07 to support the World Bank-funded multisectoral AIDS program in Tanzania (German cooperation, GIZ) and again 2013-14 to coordinate a large household survey for the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. She has been working since 2016 at the school with projects in India and Tanzania evaluating quality improvement interventions. While having a part-time employment at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, Claudia's main home at present is Karolinska Institutet, Sweden, where she leads several larger implementation science projects with partners in over 15 countries. Her main interest lies in trials and process evaluations aiming to find ways to improve the quality of pregnancy and childbirth care – linking back to her experience as a young mother. Claudia holds several advisory roles for the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) as well as for the World Health Organization including on maternal mortality estimations. At present she is a visiting scientist at the Centre of Excellence for Women and Child Health, Aga Khan University, Nairobi.
