Adverse childhood experiences and associations with mental health, substance use, and violence perpetration among young adults in sub-Saharan Africa.

Background: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) can have debilitating effects on child well-being, with consequences persisting into adulthood. Most ACE studies have been conducted in high-income countries and show a graded relationship between multiple ACE exposures and adverse health outcomes. Less is known about the types and burden of ACEs in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).

"You have to vape to make it through": E-cigarette Outcome Expectancies among Youth and Parents.

Outcome expectancies are central to explaining health behavior and have been shown to predict tobacco use. Research on outcome expectancies for e-cigarette use among youth is scarce but increasingly important given the growing rates of use, particularly of high-nicotine pod devices and the recent outbreak of e-cigarette related lung disease. In 2019, we conducted 3 focus groups with middle school youth (N=25), 5 with high school youth (N=38), and 4 with parents (N=27).

"Don't do vape, bro!" A qualitative study of youth's and parents' reactions to e-cigarette prevention advertisements.

[Surveillance of acute flaccid paralysis in Ivory Coast between 2007 and 2016: Significance and epidemiological profile of non-poliovirus enteroviruses].

Introduction: Côte d'Ivoire's status as a polio-free country requires high quality surveillance of acute flaccid paralysis. Our study aims to determine the prevalence of non-poliovirus enteroviruses found in the surveillance of Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) in Côte d'Ivoire and to study their distribution according to individual characteristics and associated factors.

Method: We conducted an exhaustive descriptive and analytical cross-sectional retrospective study on 3597 cases of acute flaccid paralysis notified in the context of surveillance of AFP from 2007 to 2016 in Côte d'Ivoire.

[Sociodemographic factors associated with incomplete immunization or children aged 12 to 59 months in six West African countries].

Introduction: Every year, thousands of children in the world remain unimmunized or partially immunized, especially in developing countries. It therefore appears important to examine sociodemographic factors associated with incomplete immunization of children in West Africa.

Methods: This cross-sectional study examined factors associated with incomplete immunization of children aged 12 to 59 months in Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Burkina Faso, Mali, Guinea, and Liberia based on Demographic and Health Survey data.

Every year, thousands of children worldwide remain unimmunized or partially immunized, especially in developing countries. It therefore appears important to examine soda-demographic factors associated with incomplete immunization of children in West Africa. The present cross-sectional study examined factors associated with incomplete immunization of children aged 12 to 59 months in Cote d'lvoire, Ghana, Burkina Faso, Mali, Guinea, and Liberia, based on Demographic and Health Surveys data.
