Evaluation of implementation of evidence-based public health training in sub-Saharan Africa.
Article in Journal of public health in Africa, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: The Collaboration for Evidence-based Healthcare and Public Health in Africa (CEBHA+) developed and offered a course on evidence-based public health (EBPH) in five sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries to enhance individual and institutional capacity. Aim: This study aims to assess, compare and learn from implementing the CEBHA+ EBPH course using the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework and Practical, Robust, Implementation and Sustainability Model (PRISM). Setting: This study involved CEHBA+ partner universities in five countries in SSA. Methods: We developed a framework that draws on signalling questions for RE-AIM and PRISM dimensions. Country teams reflected on, discussed and mapped unique experiences. Using this framework, we then elicited common themes across countries and distilled country-specific experiences through virtual discussions. Results: Across countries, 130 public health practitioners, researchers and students completed the course (Reach). The course increased EBPH knowledge and skills and the capacity to teach EBPH and resulted in immediate opportunities for applying skills (Effectiveness). Hybrid offering in two countries presented challenges regarding Internet connectivity and hybrid discussions. Facilitators had previous training in teaching EBPH. While learning material was the same across countries, the content was adapted to represent local public health priorities (Implementation, Adoption). Course materials have informed other related training leading to spin-offs (Maintenance). Institutionalisation is dependent on external funding. Conclusion: Strengthening EBPH capacity across contexts is feasible. Curricula containing both core and contextualised elements create an authentic learning environment. Formal evaluations should be embedded within capacity-strengthening initiatives. Contribution: This is the first study evaluating EBPH training in SSA using an implementation science lens, offering learning about context-relevant adaptations that assist with plans for sustainability and scale.
