Title: Feasibility, acceptability and costs of a community-based diagnostic and treatment package for malaria of varying degrees of severity in sub-Saharan Africa.

Funding: WHO ID No A80550

Year: 2013-2016

Role:  Principal Investigator 

Details: This multi-country implementation research was carried out in Burkina Faso, Nigeria and Uganda to further provide evidence for the adoption of home management of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa and show that all the components of malaria treatment can be administered at the community level having demonstrated the feasibility using artemisinin combination therapy (ACT) in earlier studies. The findings consolidated existing evidence that CHWs should be included in primary healthcare provision, especially in resource-poor settings. Five MSc students in the University of Ibadan were sponsored at various level on this project and the data was shared with a MSc Student of the Harvard T.H Chan School of Public Health who analysed the data to examine fidelity of the implementation of the study for her MSc project. This study produced at least 12 important research publications, 9 of which make up publications in a supplement issue of the Clinical Infectious Diseases Journal 2016; 63(S5) and transcends all the components of Implementation research and is the first in Nigeria and one of the few in Africa. The outcome of the study provided evidence-based recommendations which, the governments of the participating countries have used to improve the treatment of malaria.

Title: Consequences of restricting anti-malarial drugs to rapid diagnostic test positive fever cases and causes of non-malarial febrile illness

Funding: SuNMap

Year: 2013

Role:  Principal Investigator  

Details: This study explored the risk of developing clinical malaria and anaemia within 28 days post treatment among febrile children who had a mRDT negative result and were not given ACT compared to those who had a mRDT positive result and were given ACT. At least 2 publications emanated from the study.

Title: Improving Health Care Delivery in Urban Communities in Africa using the Community-Directed Intervention Approach

Funding: WHO/ TDR (Project No. A90075)

Year: 2010 - 2012

Role: Principal Investigator

Details: This multi-country implementation research was carried out in Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Liberia and Nigeria.  It explored the feasibility of deploying community directed intervention approach to delivery of health care in poorly served urban communities. The findings in this study support the feasibility of using the CDI process as currently used in rural communities for delivery of health interventions in poorly served urban communities with modifications based on significant differences between rural and urban characteristics. However, mechanism for motivating and sustaining CHWs/volunteers needs to be developed. The adoption of Community oriented resource persons/community medicine distribution for community-based healthcare provision was suggested and this contributed to available evidence that informed the policy for task shifting in health care in the sub-region. 

Title: Feasibility and acceptability of artemisinin-based combination therapy for the home management of malaria in four African sites

Funding: WHO ID No A41054

Year: 2005-2006

Role: Principal Investigator 

Details: This was a multi-country implementation research with the goal of Improving home management of malaria using Artemether-lumefantrine in four African Sites countries (Nigeria, Uganda, & two sites in Ghana) with populations ranging between 38,000 and 60,000. The feasibility and acceptability of incorporating ACT in HMM using trained community drug distributors was evaluated. This study gave the first clear evidence that ACT can be used effectively and safely for home management of malaria by trained lay caregivers – thus, drawing the attention of the National Malaria Control Division of the Federal Ministry of Health to a need for the review of the national treatment guideline. This was pivotal in the plan by the FMoH to scale up the use of ACT for HMM in the four different sites in sub-Saharan Africa.

Title: Effectiveness of Artemether-Lumefantrine in Unsupervised Home Treatment of Uncomplicated Malaria: Nested in Project ID A41054

Funding: WHO ID No A41054

Year: 2005-2006

Role: Principal Investigator 

Details: This study was conducted to establish the effectiveness of ACT when used in HMM context; a corollary study Nested into Project ID A41054. The study found the parasitological rate was above the threshold of 90% below which WHO recommends changing antimalarial drug policy (WHO, 2001). CMDs successfully learned to prepare blood films for microscopical examination. This added to the evidence base for HMM as a public health strategy as well as for scaling-up implementation of HMM with ACTs globally.

Title: Introducing Patient Centered Clinical Method (PCCM) to the teaching and practice of Family Medicine in Nigeria.

Funding: LANDMARK Group of Companies (Private Organisation)

Year: 2005-2006

Role:  Principal Investigator / Mentor 

Details: The PCCM method looked into the biopsychosocial aspect of clinical medicine. The grant was used to develop a training curriculum for residents and Fellows in Family medicine and train trainers who cascaded the training in their respective institutions. This informed the Faculty of Family Medicine, West African College of Physicians and National Postgraduate Medical College, Nigeria to include PCCM in the residents training curriculum and I pioneered the training.

Title: Incorporating Socio-cultural and Economic Characteristics of Mothers and Caregivers in the Home Management of Malaria (HMM) in Children

Funding agency: WHO/MIM/TDR (ID 980048)

Year: 1998-2002

Role: Co-Investigator

Details: In this pioneer implementation research project, we looked at Incorporating Socio-cultural and Economic Characteristics of Mothers and Caregivers in the Home Management of Malaria (HMM) in Children. The findings of this study which involved over 2000 citizens in the selected LGAs in Oyo State (Ogbomosho (North and South), Orire, Kajola, and Iseyin Local Government Areas) in Nigeria, provided evidence-based information on gaps in community-based management of malaria which include grossly under-equipped healthcare facilities, the key decision makers on health issues in the homes, key players in HMM strategy and what needed to be considered in promoting HMM in Nigeria which guided advocating for and the delivery of a novel intervention – HMM. Two MSc students, 1 Ph.D. student and junior researchers from various disciplines were trained on this project.

Title: Inter-institution collaboration and studies on combination therapy: drug resistance, immunology and vaccine for malaria.

Funding: WHO/TDR/RCS (ID No. 970678)

Year: 1997 -2001

Role: Trainee

Details: The goal of this study was to improve clinical management of drug resistant malaria following reports of malaria parasite developing resistance to chloroquine. We investigated the clinical validation of Chlorpheniramine (Piriton™), a drug without antimalarial properties, to modulate/ enhance antimalarial property of chloroquine in vitro in a controlled community based clinical study. Enhanced efficacy of chloroquine-chlorpheniramine combination in treating acute uncomplicated P. falciparum infection in children was clearly demonstrated.  This provided evidence for drug development to combine chlorpheniramine with chloroquine compound to be more efficacious.  The study also involved a collaborative network between the Malaria Research Group, the Oyo State Ministry of Health, the Oyo State Hospitals Management Board and the Development Policy Centre with the aim of providing opportunity to disseminate research findings, informing policy and translating research findings to policy and action. Many Postgraduate students were also trained on the project.
