Pleased to say that the last paper from my PhD thesis is finally published in BMC Global and Public Health 🎉 🌏
Took a long while to get this one over the line, so thanks to all my co-authors for their commitment to the cause!

Perceived Gender Equitable Norms and Previous Tuberculosis Testing in Malawi: A Secondary Analysis of a Cluster-based Prevalence Survey
Substantial evidence demonstrates that men have a higher prevalence of tuberculosis (TB) and decreased use of TB services compared to women. Gender roles and norms contribute to these disparities by i...

New preprint (with all pre-print caveats!) tinyurl.com/589ffhu4 on Mtb infection risk by sex & age.
Men are at higher risk of #tuberculosis v women- but unclear how much driven by higher infection vs progression to disease. We meta-analysed Mtb immunoreactivity surveys to find out more🧵 #tbsky

More recently I've been thinking a lot about surveillance processes and elimination - whether we have the right statistical tools to maximise the potential of innovative approaches such as wastewater surveillance.

Thanks to @statsforbios.bsky.social for sharing our paper that's finally out! This is work from my PhD with @grahammedley.bsky.social and Oliver Brady, exploring the accuracy of spatial disaggregation for understanding local-level incidence of visceral leishmaniasis in northeast India.
Hooray! Our paper (led by Emily Nightingale) is out.
