History
About PSG

Interest in demographic research at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) dates back to 1964 when William Brass became the first Reader in Medical Demography at the University of London. The MSc Medical Demography (now MSc Demography and Health) was launched in 1970 and the Centre for Population Studies was established formally in 1974 with support from the UK Ministry of Overseas Development (now Department for International Development – DFID) who remained a major funder of research at the Centre until 2004.

The Centre’s international reputation was built initially on its contributions to technical demographic research, in particular the development of new indirect methods for estimating fertility and mortality in developing countries. Today, the Centre has a broader research agenda. The investigation of British demographic trends first became an important field of activity in 1977 when the Centre became a designated research centre of the Economic and Social Research Council. During the 1990s the Centre became increasingly active in reproductive health research and in 1998, in collaboration with other experts in the School, it launched a new MSc in Reproductive & Sexual Health Research. Since the turn of the century it has also been home to a substantial programme of research on the demography of the global HIV and AIDS epidemic and as part of this coordinates the ALPHA Network.

Professor Brass remained the Centre’s Director until his retirement in 1988. It was subsequently headed by John Cleland, Emily Grundy, Ian Timaeus, Basia Zaba and others. Following several restructurings and changes in nomenclature within LSHTM, in 2012 the Centre became the Population Studies Group within the Department of Population Health. It is currently headed by Georges Reniers.

Paragraph

PSG staff maintain a diverse research portfolio that includes demographic estimation, evolutionary demography, historical demography, sexual and reproductive health research and population-based surveillance of communicable and non-communicable diseases. The latter tends to have a geographic focus on sub-Saharan Africa through the school and the PSG’s close ties with the MRC units in The Gambia and Uganda, MEIRU in Malawi, the ALPHA Network and the Dreams Evaluation.

African Population History

We are investigating, collecting and digitising sources of demographic data to enable the study of long-term change in Africa’s populations. We have worked with historical census data and demographic surveys as well as with parish registers. Our current focus is on digitising, linking and analysing data from some of the oldest Catholic parishes in East and Southern Africa. We take an interdisciplinary approach to analysing these data – combining quantitative demographic research with qualitative archival research to reconstruct how family, fertility and faith interacted and changed over the twentieth century in this region. We aim to encourage and support a network of researchers working on historical demographic data in Africa.

ALPHA Network

The ALPHA network brings together ten collaborating African research institutions, which conduct population-based HIV surveillance in eastern and southern Africa. The network regularly contributes detailed statistical estimates of HIV incidence, mortality patterns and fertility impacts to the UNAIDS Reference Group on Estimates, Modelling and Projections, which oversees the data and methods used for producing HIV epidemic updates and projections in African countries. The ALPHA Network receives funding from the Wellcome Trust and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Demographic estimation in populations with deficient CRVS

The vast majority of the world’s population live in areas that are not covered by well-functioning Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS). Without CRVS, estimating key demographic and sustainable development indicators is challenging and published estimates often rely on strong assumptions.

PSG is home to a number of projects that are pioneering new solutions to such estimation problems. These include the expansion of the sibling survival method for cause-specific adult mortality estimation (a collaboration with Stéphane Helleringer at John Hopkins University); the refinement of indirect estimation techniques for under-five mortality estimation (a collaboration with Michel Guillot at the University of Pennsylvania and INED, the French Institute for Demographic Research); the refinement of verbal autopsy tools for estimating causes of death (a collaboration with Samuel Clark at Ohio State University); the development of improved methods to measure parity progression and the duration of birth intervals using census and survey data (a collaboration with Tom Moultrie at the University of Cape Town); and the application of record linkage techniques for augmenting research data with administrative and medical data sources.

PSG staff engaged in this line of research include Ian Timaeus, Georges Reniers, Clara Calvert and Julio Romero.

DREAMS evaluation

On World AIDS Day 2014, PEPFAR launched a bold new initiative – ‘DREAMS’ – to reduce new HIV infections by 40 percent among the highest risk adolescent girls and young women in 10 high-burden countries. With an initial commitment of US$385 million, quickly supplemented with $85 million for a DREAMS Innovation Fund, DREAMS partners – PEPFAR, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Girl Effect, Johnson & Johnson, ViiV Healthcare and Gilead Sciences – aim to promote empowerment and prevent HIV acquisition through a core package of interventions for young women, their families, communities and male partners.

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has awarded LSHTM a 4-year grant to lead a portfolio of evaluation studies designed to track the impact of DREAMS in Kenya, South Africa and Zimbabwe. Led by Isolde Birdthistle and Sian Floyd, the evaluation draws on LSHTM expertise in HIV, adolescent health and evaluation across all faculties, and close research partnerships with experienced institutes in each country: the Africa Health Research Institute (AHRI) in Durban, South Africa, the African Population and Health Research Centre (APHRC) in Nairobi, Kenya; the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) in Siaya, Kenya; and the Centre for Sexual Health HIV and AIDS Research (CeSHHAR) in Harare, Zimbabwe.

Evolutionary Demography

PSG is host to the Evolutionary Demography Group, the first of its kind in the UK. This interdisciplinary group applies the theoretical framework of evolutionary biology to human demographic behaviour. It combines both social and natural science to explore questions of demographic interest, such as why do people have the number of children that they do, drawing on anthropology and psychology, as well as demography and evolutionary biology. Under the direction of Dr. Rebecca Sear, the group holds weekly lab meetings and monthly journal club sessions.

MEIRU

The Malawi Epidemiology and Intervention Research Unit (MEIRU), formerly known as Karonga Prevention Study, has over the last 30 years made major contributions to the understanding and control of mycobacterial disease, HIV and other infectious diseases. MEIRU’s main focus from 1979 until 2012 was in Karonga District, northern Malawi. In 2012 MEIRU established an additional site in Lilongwe, and started a major programme of work on cardiovascular disease and diabetes both in Karonga and Lilongwe to complement its continuing research on infectious diseases.

MEIRU is a partnership between the Malawi College of Medicine, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) and the Malawi Ministry of Health. Since 2016 the Programme has been led by Dr. Mia Crampin (Acting Director) with Professor Moffat Nyirenda (Visiting Professor and NCD Theme Lead; MEIRU Director 2013-2016), Professor Judith Glynn and Dr. Charles Mwansambo (Ministry of Health, Malawi).

SHAPE UTT

The Strengthening Health Systems for the Application of Policy to Enable Universal Test and Treat (SHAPE UTT) Study was funded by the MRC/Wellcome and began in January 2017 - December 2020. 

In 2016 the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended the initiation of antiretroviral initiation regardless of immunological status for all people living with HIV (PLHIV), a policy which many African countries adopted in later in the same year. Despite the guidance the UN declaration and WHO guidance acknowledge concerns about the feasibility of universal test and treat (UTT) within overburdened, weak health systems. Even prior to such ambitious policies many African HIV programmes already experienced sub-optimal HIV testing and retention rates. The increased demands on health systems through additional patient loads could lead to drug stock-outs, drug resistance, inadequate patient preparation and poor adherence.

Despite these challenges, there has been a dearth of research to inform the preparatory processes that will be needed for successful implementation of UTT, if it is to garner much needed opportunities to strengthen health systems and reduce these risks. Important lessons can be drawn from the experience of Option B+ implementation (test and treat in pregnant and breastfeeding women), widely viewed as the precursor to UTT, and first implemented in Malawi in a bold policy move in 2011. It affords a rare opportunity to investigate how the policy implementation process has impacted on health systems, with a view to prospectively considering the readiness of health systems to absorb further expansion of the policy to the general population.

This project will address a critical evidence gap by ascertaining heath systems preparedness for delivering UTT. We will generate this evidence by comparing the experiences and health systems impacts of Option B+ policy implementation, widely viewed as the precursor to UTT, in three settings (Karonga, Malawi, Ifakara, Tanzania and uMhanyakude, South Africa).

The Intervention Design and Evaluation Group

The Intervention Design and Evaluation Group employs inter-disciplinary approaches drawing on relevant medical, psychological, social and educational knowledge and theory to develop and evaluate novel interventions to improve health and primary health care provision. We have a major focus on interventions to improve Sexual and Reproductive health. To promote equity in health and health care, our interventions are designed with input from users, specifically involving those at greatest need in the development process to ensure that interventions are accessible and relevant to them. Under the direction of Prof Cari Free, the group holds weekly meetings.

RAMMPS

Rapid Mortality Mobile Phone Surveys (RAMMPS) project  

Population-based mortality statistics are essential components of an effective public health response to epidemic outbreaks or other crisis situations. The RAMMPS consortium is developing and implementing an innovative mobile-phone based approach to generate national mortality estimates, including excess mortality, where civil registration is incomplete and face-to-face data collection is interrupted or hindered. More information about the RaMMPS project is available here: https://www.lshtm.ac.uk/RaMMPS  

Mortality and Inequalities research group

 The COVID-19 pandemic and other public health crises have triggered unprecedented rise in mortality around the world in recent times. Our knowledge of the impacts of these events on population health is limited and the medium, and long term, consequences are unknown. Funded by a Wellcome Career Development award and led by Dr. José Manuel Aburto, the Mortality and Inequalities research group  addresses three major objectives to produce fundamentally new knowledge of the mechanisms that underpin recent mortality trends: 1) To complement all-cause mortality analysis with multiple causes of death to uncover the indirect pathways through which the pandemic and other crises have affected mortality; 2) To develop and apply demographic methods to quantify how different causes of death affect patterns of life years lost by sex; and 3) To analyse the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on lifespan inequality. At the intersection of demography with multiple disciplines, including epidemiology, data science, and public health, this project focuses on pressing issues about the toll of the COVID-19 pandemic and other crises on population health, and challenges current narratives on longevity.

Paragraph
MSc in Demography and Health

“It’s the demography, stupid!” Many of our societies continue to face a diverse set of demographic challenges (and opportunities), including rapid population ageing, extremely low as well as very high fertility, and sizable population migration. These and other demographic trends have important repercussions in all possible domains of life; from voting behaviour to living arrangements, labour markets and economic growth, tax revenues and pension systems, carbon emissions, and the demand for education, health and social services. Demography, in other words, may well be the single most defining factor of the world that we live in.

The MSc in Demography and Health equips students with the theories and skills to understand and quantify macro-level population dynamics and their downstream implications for health and health policies. Students are further trained in the analysis of micro-level processes that govern population change, including fertility and reproductive behaviour, the exposure to health risks, and population mobility. Analysis tools and techniques are applied to high-income settings where high-quality data are usually abundant to resource constrained settings that are covered by partial or deficient information systems.

The Demography and Health teaching programme gives students ample opportunity to select from a wide range of modules in statistics, epidemiology public health, and the social sciences, and thus tailor their curriculum to either focus on the technical aspects of data analytics and demographic estimation, or, take a more interdisciplinary approach to the study of population and health.

The MSc in Demography and Health is recognised by the Medical Research Council (MRC), the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and the Population Investigation Committee (PIC) and a number of scholarships from these bodies are available each year.

Visit the MSc in Demography and Health course page for more information.

Read interviews with former Demography and Health students Rebecca Musgrove and Ellen Flint: they talk about why they chose this MSc and how it helped them achieve their career goals, and provide useful insight and tips for future applicants!

A new student-led magazine, Keppel Health Review, launched in May 2021 also features a contribution from current MSc Demography & Health student, Lysette Kessler. 

Find out more about fees and funding.

MSc in Reproductive and Sexual Health Research

The MSc in Reproductive and Sexual Health Research is designed for those interested in acquiring the research skills necessary to conduct policy-relevant research into sexual and reproductive health. It provides a non-clinical foundation in a wide range of sexual and reproductive health topics, including family planning, maternal health, sexual health and rights, HIV/AIDS and sexually-transmitted infections.

This Master's programme is recognized by the ESRC as providing high quality research training and a small number of ESRC scholarships are available to UK or overseas residents. These are advertised each year with the School scholarships information.

The curriculum has a focus on middle- and low-income settings but also provides excellent training in the principles and methods of research for high-income countries.

Visit the MSc in Reproductive and Sexual Health Research course page for more information.

Find out more about fees and funding.

MSc in Sexual & Reproductive Health Policy and Programming

Developed and delivered with the University of Ghana School of Public Health (UGSPH), the online MSc Sexual and Reproductive Health Policy and Programming primarily targets those interested in acquiring the knowledge and skills required to design, implement and evaluate evidence-based sexual and reproductive health programmes and policies in sub-Saharan Africa and other low- and middle-income settings. The program equips students with advanced knowledge and understanding of:

  • Policy and health system factors influencing sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in low and middle income settings, and how these should be taken into account in the design and delivery of effective SRH programmes
  • The influence of socio-political, cultural, legal and ethical issues surrounding SRHR in low- and middle-income settings on the design and delivery of SRHR programmes and policies tailored to the context
  • Up-to-date evidence base on effective sexual and reproductive health policies and interventions  

Scholarship

A number of scholarships will be available for the 2022-23 entry as well as for the 2023-24 entry. Details will be added to this page and to the Master's Funding page as soon as it is open for applications.

Mode of delivery

The programme will be delivered wholly online, with no in person attendance. There will be a mix of live and interactive activities (synchronous learning) as well as recorded or self-directed study (asynchronous learning). Examples of synchronous learning are live online lectures, group discussions and seminars which students are required to attend. Asynchronous learning includes pre-recorded lectures and independent reading.

Duration

The programme is 12 months full-time or 24-36 months part-time.

For more information, visit the program page for the MSc Sexual and Reproductive Health Policy and Programming.

Doctoral studies

Students who are interested in pursuing a PhD are advised to contact a potential supervisor to discuss their proposal and possible sources of funding.

Among others, there are each year a number of ESRC-funded PhD scholarships available in population studies. These scholarships are offered in both Demography and Reproductive and Sexual Health training routes.  Scholarships may be taken up either as a stand-alone PhD (a +3 award); or as a programme which includes first taking additional taught courses before starting the PhD (also referred to as the 1+3 route). Please see the UBEL Doctoral Training Partnership website for further information on all the different routes available. As part of their training, students may spend a year at the European Doctoral School of Demography.

The next deadline for preliminary applications is 11 January 2021. Students are to contact potential supervisors well ahead of this deadline.

Please consult the Research Degrees funding page for other scholarship opportunities.

Self-Study Resources

We have recently developed the two open access resources for (aspiring) demographers and population scientists. This work was commissioned by the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population (IUSSP) with funding from UNFPA.

Population Analysis for Policies and Programmes. A series of online lectures on demographic data and analysis methods published under a creative commons licence.

Tools for Demographic Estimation: an updated compendium of tools for demographic estimation from limited, deficient and defective data. The material here follows in a direct line of descent from Manual X and subsequent works (for example, the 2002 UN Manual of Adult Mortality Estimation). The principal aspect of this website is a series of (mostly) static webpages describing and documenting the tools and methods of demographic estimation from limited, deficient and defective data. The material is organised thematically first, and then by the kinds of data that may be available. Where appropriate, downloadable spreadsheets are provided that allow users to apply the methods to their own data. Authors: Moultrie, T. A., Dorrington, R. E., Hill A. G., Hill, K., Timæus, I. M. and Zaba B. (eds). Produced for the IUSSP with funding from UNFPA.

Improving the Health of Women, Children and Adolescents: from Evidence to Action: The Massive Opean Online course (MOOCS) is available now Futurelearn platform and run over six weeks, exploring the lifecycle from birth to adulthood, to look at adolescent, reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health.

Research Degree (PhD Pre-Viva) Seminar (forthcoming) - Ursula Gazeley

Advances in the conceptualisation and measurement of maternal morbidity and mortality

Speaker: ​​Ursula Gazeley, PSG-DIDEIH

Supervisors: Veronique Filippi & Georges Reniers

This is a hybrid seminar, available online (please join using the Zoom link below) and in-person (see location details below).

Date & Time: Wednesday 25 September 2024 (12:45 BST)

Zoom link: https://lshtm.zoom.us/j/97693398758?pwd=Y3RWbx4aaF0c1CH1cdjDbzPtBDoShn.1
[Meeting ID: 976 9339 8758; Password: 911140]

Room: KS-G40

Abstract: Progress to improve maternal survival has stalled in the first five years of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) era. In the context of this stagnation and the rapidly changing epidemiological profile of maternal health, this thesis examines the reasons for, and limitations of, the focus of the international maternal health agenda on survival up to 42 days postpartum. Specifically, it advances the conceptualisation and measurement of maternal morbidity and mortality (1) in the extended postpartum period beyond 42 days; and (2) the cumulative burden across the reproductive life course. 

Part 1: The postpartum period is defined as the first 42 days following the termination of pregnancy. This definition influences the upper limit of the WHO’s recommended postpartum care schedule and serves as the cut-off for identifying maternal deaths. I interrogate this timeframe by examining women’s risk of death, causes of death, and recovery trajectories in the extended postpartum period and beyond. The findings support the need to re-envision models of postpartum care and the measurement of mortality beyond 42 days. 

Part 2: Existing measures of maternal morbidity estimate the obstetric risk associated with an individual pregnancy. However, risk accumulates across a woman’s life course, depending on repeated exposure (fertility levels) and reproductive age survival (mortality levels). I develop the methodology and derive the first cross-country estimates for two new measures of cumulative risk: the lifetime risk of maternal near miss and the lifetime risk of severe maternal outcome (near miss or maternal death). These metrics offer new perspectives on global inequity in maternal outcomes. 

This thesis advocates for an ambitious expansion of the maternal health agenda. A reorientation towards the neglected medium- to long-term consequences of pregnancy and childbirth, and the cumulative burden of maternal morbidity across the reproductive life course, is essential in the post-SDG era.

Local Setup, Global Resource: the Health and Demographic Surveillance Systems (HDSSs) in Bangladesh

Speaker: ​​M Moinuddin Haider, Associate Scientist, Health Systems and Population Studies Division, icddr,b

This is a hybrid PSG seminar series event which is available in person or online (please join using the Zoom link below or at the LSHTM Events site).

Date & Time: Thursday 12 September 2024 (12:45 - 13:45)

Location: Room KS-LG81

Zoom link: https://lshtm.zoom.us/j/95097002586

Abstract: Health and Demographic Surveillance Systems (HDSSs) routinely monitor well-defined populations and record selected health and demographic information. In low- and middle-income countries, HDSS are often the only source of population-level longitudinal and linkable intergenerational data. In these settings they are a key resource for health, demographic, and social science research.

Moin Haider will discuss the three HDSSs in Bangladesh established and maintained by icddr,b. The presentation will include a brief history of the HDSSs, sketch their main attributes, give examples of past and ongoing collaborative studies using the HDSS platforms, and discuss possibilities for future involvement of researchers at various stages of their careers.

 

ALL WELCOME!

Free and open to all. No registration required.

There will be an online option for the MSc Demography & Health:

For those of you who are not in a position to travel to London, the programme team is happy to explore the possibility of your studies being facilitated entirely online. In order for this to be put in place, you will need to contact the Programme Directors before you apply to agree an individual study plan. Please note that teaching sessions (many shared across multiple programmes) are being scheduled between 9am-5.30pm UK time.

Here is a testimonial from one of our 2020-21 RSHR students about her experience with online learning: 

"I really enjoyed the module. I thought that the breadth and depth of topics taught was excellent and current issues and innovations for the future were covered really well. I personally loved the set-up of pre-recorded lectures and then having zoom sessions for discussion after; it gave time to watch the lectures at your own pace, make notes (great for slow writers like me!!) and the time to really reflect prior to discussing with classmates and lectures. 

The module organisers created a really nice, open space for discussion and were always very approachable for further discussion or clarification of any issues. Generally, just very enjoyable module and I felt that I learnt lots of practical information for working clinically in FP, but also about innovative programmes and policies for the future."

MARCH Centre: Launch events for two major studies (closed) - for information only

10th Dec: Every Newborn-INDEPTH supplement launch (closed)
15th Dec: Every Newborn-BIRTH supplement launch (closed)


Details below.

Every Newborn-INDEPTH supplement launch event
Thursday 10th Dec 2020, 12:00- 14:00 UK time

Each year there are 5.1 million neonatal deaths and stillbirths, plus about 300,000 maternal deaths worldwide. Around 75% of these deaths are still dependent on surveys, notably Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) and Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS), as main data sources.

The Every Newborn-INDEPTH study involved >68,000 births and aimed to provide evidence to improve population-based survey data regarding pregnancy outcome.

We are delighted to invite you to the launch of a series of 12 papers from the study in BMC Population Health Metrics, mainly with first authors from the sites and/or Makerere University.

Link to EN-INDEPTH launch:

https://www.lshtm.ac.uk/newsevents/events/every-newborn-indepth-study-s…

Every Newborn-BIRTH supplement launch event 
Tuesday 15th Dec 2020, 12:00- 14:00, UK time

All are welcome to the interactive launch of a series of papers in BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, involving multiple authors mainly from low and middle-income countries, in partnership with LSHTM. 

EN-BIRTH study involved observing >23,000 births using an innovative tablet-based system to validate data from routine facility registers and women’s survey report.  The study was conducted in five hospitals in Bangladesh, Nepal and Tanzania, coordinated by a team at LSHTM and funded by the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF).

These results have important implications for measuring progress for the Sustainable Development Goals, especially related to Every Newborn targets, to reduce ~5.4 million stillbirths, newborn and maternal deaths. Findings have practical relevance for improving measurement of coverage and quality of maternal and newborn care in routine facility registers and in population-based surveys.

International Seminar: Looking backward, looking forward: African demography in historical perspective - Call for papers (closed) - for info only

Nairobi, Kenya 2-3 April 2020 (closed)

Organized by the IUSSP Scientific Panel on Historical Demography and held at the British Institute in Eastern Africa.

Deadline for submission of abstracts: 30 September 2019 (closed)

Organizing Committee: Sarah Walters (London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine), Martin Dribe (Lund University), Shane Doyle (University of Leeds), Stephen O. Wandera (Makerere University), Jeanne Cilliers (Lund University).

Please read the full announcement for this seminar.

We invite submissions on historical or long-term, interdisciplinary, perspectives on demographic change in Africa. The aims of the seminar are to review the state of the field of African population history, to consider the role of the past for understanding the present, and to facilitate partnerships and future comparative work on African historical demography.

There is a resurgence of interest in Africa’s demographic pasts. Evidence on past population trends is essential to respond to core questions in African history, such as the human cost of the slave trade; the impacts of colonialism on health, wellbeing and the family; the effects of post-colonial policies on households and livelihoods; long-term trends in mortality and migration; and the influence of religion, education and employment on intergenerational relations and the social organisation of reproduction. Improving the evidence on Africa’s past populations will illuminate how people have managed their resilience and reproduction over time, in the face of environmental, epidemiological, political and economic change.

Understanding the historical origins of African demographic regimes may also help to influence current and future population trends. This is important given Africa is projected to account for more than half of all global population growth by 2050, with implications for both demographic dividend and migration. In particular, contemporary demographers have called for interdisciplinary and historical approaches to improve understanding of the contexts of fertility transition in the region, including its stalls, reversals and exceptional age- and parity-specific dynamics, as well as the historical context of the AIDS pandemic. Papers which seek to situate current population trends in historical perspective are encouraged. 

The seminar will showcase the growing availability of historical demographic micro-data through new digitisation projects. Alongside the substantive research papers, the seminar will include a data workshop in which scholars who have collected new datasets will have the opportunity to present their databases and to consider scope for future comparative work and collaborations. We will review the potential of new digital methods for widening historical micro-data collection in Africa and seek the experience of previous comparative demographic projects in achieving data harmonisation. 

Online Submissions:
The IUSSP Panel on Historical Demography invites researchers to submit online by 30 September 2019 a short 200-word abstract AND an extended abstract (2 to 4 pages, including tables). To submit an abstract please fill out the online submission form: ONLINE SUBMISSION FORM.

If you would also like to contribute to the data workshop, please also send an email to sarah.walters@lshtm.ac.uk with a 200-word description of your dataset at the same time as your main submission. 

The working language of the seminar is English: abstracts and final papers should be submitted and presented in English. If the paper is co-authored, please indicate the names of co-authors. Submission should be made by the author who will attend the seminar. We aim to publish suitable papers in a journal special issue or an edited volume.

Applicants will be notified whether their paper has been accepted by 15 October 2019. Authors of accepted papers must upload the full paper on the IUSSP website by 28 February 2020. 

Funding is available to cover the cost of the seminar venue, airport transfers, accommodation and meals for speakers for two days. We are seeking further financial support for travel, but the outcome is uncertain, and participants should seek their own funding for flights, additional accommodation and other expenses.

Grandmother Workshop - 14 May 2019 (closed) - for info only

Grandmothers and public health: unlocking the potential of older women in improving child, adolescent and maternal health

Date: Tuesday 14th May 2019 (closed)
Time: 14.30-20.00
Venue: John Snow Lecture Theatre, LSHTM

An interdisciplinary workshop, supported by the British Society for Population Studies and LSHTM’s MARCH and Centre for Global Mental Health.

Research in demography and anthropology has demonstrated the importance of grandmothers in influencing child and maternal outcomes, such as improving child health and survival rates. Yet few public health initiatives have recognised the potential impact of recruiting grandmothers into their interventions to improve health. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers in demography, anthropology, public health and related disciplines to discuss the potential for incorporating grandmothers into public health initiatives to improve child, adolescent and maternal health.

The workshop is free and open to all; more information, including registration details available here:

Workshop: Who cares? Introducing evolutionary approaches to caregiving and mother-infant health (closed) - for info only

Different disciplines approach social support different, each emphasising different ‘key’ supporters or care providers. How we conceptualise support and who we define as necessary in bringing up infants as large implications for maternal and infant health as its shapes the research questions we ask and ultimate the policy suggestions or implementation which arises from this research.  

In evolutionary anthropology, the importance of wide and diverse social support networks for maternal and infant health is widely acknowledged. However, in public health and non-evolutionary social sciences ‘support’ is often poorly defined, with a strong nuclear family bias regarding caregiving. This workshop will bridge this disciplinary gap by facilitating dialogue and collaboration between evolutionary anthropologists and those with overlapping interests in other fields.

The workshop will consist of a series of research presentations, discussions and activities focusing on caregiving and mother-infant health. From our experience, the greatest challenges in interdisciplinary settings are theoretical misconceptions and language barriers. By opening the workshop with theoretical overviews and defining key terminologies, we will establish common ground and ensure meaningful discussions. At the end of the workshop we will bring these discussions together to reflect on how the different issues highlighted over the course of the day compliment each other (or not), and how these can be reconciled into a ‘practical guide’ of interdisciplinary work on maternal and child health.

Following the workshop there will be a wine reception and a public lecture titled "Beyond the nuclear family: an evolutionary perspective on childrearing" by Professor Rebecca Sear of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. This lecture will discuss how our species has evolved a cooperative form of childrearing, where women get help from others to raise their children, and the implications for support (or its lack) for childrearing on child and maternal health.

SHAPING UP: A stakeholder workshop to facilitate translation of research findings into HIV policy in three African countries

By Jenny Renju, Alison Wringe and Jim Todd

Shape blog PSG 2

The overall aim of the SHAPE-UTT (Strengthening Health Systems for the Application of Policy to Enable Universal Test and Treat) project is to assess policy implementation and health systems impacts of Option B+ and universal Test and Treat in Malawi, Tanzania and South Africa. We are currently two years into the three-year project, and have recently finished data collection which has included reviews of national HIV policies and World Health Organisation guidance, health facility surveys, HIV service costings and qualitative enquiries with patients and health workers in the three countries.

A growing body of evidence has highlighted the factors that facilitate or inhibit the uptake of research into policy, and has elicited the pathways through which capacity can be strengthened to apply health research evidence in policymaking. In recognition of these findings, we held a week-long participatory workshop in Kilimanjaro in Tanzania from January 13th-18th 2019 which was attended by national HIV policymakers, HIV practitioners, researchers from three research institutions in Tanzania (Ifakara Health Institute), South Africa (African Health Research Institute) and Malawi (Malawi Epidemiology and Intervention Research Unit), and academics from LSHTM and the University of KwaZulu Natal in South Africa. The five day workshop was broken down into a series of different sessions including: Oral presentations, poster presentations, active facilitated discussion time for brainstorming, analysis time, small group sessions, mentorship teams formation and meetings, writing time, review meetings, round table focus group discussions as well as time for rest and reflection.

shape blog psg 2

The workshop promoted stakeholder engagement at a critical stage of the research process, and enabled the participants to assimilate and reflect on emerging findings from preliminary analyses as well as to participate in i) the process of prioritizing identified HIV care and treatment policy gaps; ii) analysing the data and iii) mapping policy knowledge gaps with research findings. Mentorship teams were established to support the project team members in the production of a series of nine original research papers, ensuring that they incorporate the policymakers’ perspectives. These papers explore the various ways in which the three countries have adopted and implemented HIV policies and the implications for service delivery (e.g. innovative models of care and integrated HIV services), the health workforce and quality of care. A consensus was reached on the way forward for publication of the findings in a special issue. Steps were put in place to achieve this submission by July 2019.

Two round table policymaker – researcher discussions took place to explore the context in which HIV programmes are implemented and how this influences their impact. These discussions guided the interpretation of our findings and also led to an opinion paper. Our opinion piece aims to challenge thinking on how different actors influence policy formulation and implementation across three different settings and discusses some of the intended and unintended consequences of this process.

Providing time and space for a meaningful engagement with policy makers and actors playing a broader role in the formulation and implementation of policy across different countries was invaluable. The richness of discussions was a direct result of an enabling environment which truly valued the inputs from all participants. By nature of their different roles, researchers and policy makers tend to look at things slightly differently, and so having multiple days (and also importantly evenings and “down time”) enabled relationships to be formed which will spread beyond the scope of this project. When planning such events, it is important that the differences in participants’ perspectives and the approaches that they are familiar with are considered. Long presentations session (while often used in research meetings) need to be enhanced with discussions capturing points visually e.g. on flip charts. Also we found the smaller round table discussion crucial in enabling all of the policy makers attending to voice their views and experiences. The open and relaxed nature of the discussions enabled participants to speak candidly. The joint production of publications (in the form of an opinion piece and a research article) promoted engagement and ownership over the process. The group was also small, enabling everyone to have time to get to know each other and receive valued inputs from all.

This workshop has been made possible with the support of many, and we are grateful for the time, energy and brain power of all our participants. We would like to acknowledge the financial support from the GCRF Global Impact Accelerator Account Grant for this workshop, the Medical Research Council HSRI3 funding for the overall project funding. In particular, we would like to thank our project partners and collaborators. We are also grateful for the support from THRIVE, ANDLA, ALPHA, LSHTM, and KCMCUCo and for the sponsorship from the Blue Zebra Art Studio and the logistical support from Amina Farah. A final acknowledgement and thanks goes to a colleague to all, a mentor, inspiration and a dear friend to many, for Basia Zaba; whose spirit was certainly felt throughout the week.

This workshop aims to facilitate the translation of our study findings into policy in each country and will provide participants with the opportunity to draw on lessons learned from the other settings

PSG members present their findings at the 2018 International Family Planning Conference in Rwanda (closed) - for info only

A  series of 4 presentations,  chaired by PSG’s Professor Cari Free, covered the benefits of mobile phones for reproductive health support.

PSG member Chris Smith (Associate Professor) described his trial in Cambodia which increased the self-reported use of long acting contraception at 12 months post abortion.  PSG Research Degree student Kate Reiss, together with Kathryn Church from Marie Stopes International, went on to describe the potential risks of partner abuse in women seeking reproductive health support.

Ona McCarthy, PSG Research Fellow and Research Degree student, presented the results of three randomised controlled trials. The trials evaluated the effect of a contraceptive behavioural intervention delivered by mobile phone on acceptability and use of effective contraception among young people in Tajikistan, Palestine and Bolivia.

Trinity Zan from FH360 described how WHISPER, an SMS intervention, was designed with sex workers based in Kenya to meet their needs including support for partners and client abuse.

Sarah Baum from IBIS Reproductive Health talked about how mobile applications can be private by design, using the example of their app which provides abortion and post-abortion support in 5 contexts.
