This dataset is the result of a phone survey set up to measure the impact of COVID-19 on rural people in Ghana. As most governments have urged the population to stay at home to slow down the transmission of the disease, the impact of COVID-19 can affect women and men in different ways: as an income shock (directly or indirectly); as a health and caring shock; as a shock of mobility (affecting access to water, food, firewood, schooling); and as a risk of increased domestic conflict and violence. To capture these various effects on household welfare, this phone survey was conducted with (around) 500 individuals randomly drawn from an existing list of phone numbers collected from previous household surveys with an equal proportion of women and men. The same individuals were also interviewed during other rounds to generate a longitudinal panel allowing to analyze the impact of COVID-19 through time.

The Ghana Financial Incentives study is an RCT designed primarily to determine whether cash incentives which participants are informed about via a video message, increases uptake of COVID-19 vaccines. In addition, we also explore: (i) the relative impact of cash incentives versus providing health information; (ii) how different levels of cash incentives may impact on vaccine uptake; (iii) the potential for ``spillover'' effects of incentives, whereby providing financial incentives in treatment arm may impact on vaccine uptake among others who have not been treated.This repository contains all of the anonymised data from the Ghana COVID-19 Vaccines and Financial Incentives project. All of the supporting material including videos and questionnaires are housed in this repository. The repository will be updated as the data is collected and cleaned.

The novel Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19) caused devastating effects globally, and healthcare workers were among the most affected by the pandemic. Despite healthcare workers being prioritized in COVID-19 vaccination globally and in Ghana, hesitancy to receive the vaccines resulted in delayed control of the pandemic. In Ghana, healthcare workers had a vaccine acceptance of 39.3% before the vaccine rollout. Consequently, this study assessed the uptake of COVID-19 vaccination and associated factors among healthcare workers in Ghana in the post-vaccine roll-out period. This was an analytical cross-sectional study that used a semi-structured questionnaire to collect data on COVID-19 vaccination uptake and influencing factors. 256 healthcare workers were selected in Ayawaso West Municipality of Ghana using a stratified random sampling approach. Descriptive statistics were used to examine socio-demographic factors and Likert scale responses. Bivariable and Multivariable logistic regression ..., This was an analytical cross-sectional study that used a semi-structured questionnaire to collect data on COVID-19 vaccination uptake and influencing factors. 256 healthcare workers were selected in Ayawaso West Municipality of Ghana using a stratified random sampling approach. Descriptive statistics were used to examine socio-demographic factors and Likert scale responses. Bivariable and Multivariable logistic regression were performed using IBM SPSS version 22 to identify predictors of vaccine uptake and a statistical significance was declared at p<0.05., , # Overview: This dataset contains information related to COVID-19 vaccination among healthcare workers in Ayawaso West District, Ghana.

To ensure the protection of participants' privacy, several steps were undertaken to de-identify the data. Firstly, we ensured that the data does not contain any information that could directly reveal the identity of the participants such as names, addresses, phone numbers, etc.

Additionally, the data was modified by limiting the number of indirect identifiers to three and aggregating age to age range. By so doing, the risk of re-identification was significantly reduced. Furthermore, institutional affiliation and occupation of participants could potentially lead to re-identification if combined and were thus eliminated.

Importantly, participants were informed during the consent process that data from the study would be released into a public repository. This allowed participants to make informed decisions about their participation in the study, ...

Project Tycho datasets contain case counts for reported disease conditions for countries around the world. The Project Tycho data curation team extracts these case counts from various reputable sources, typically from national or international health authorities, such as the US Centers for Disease Control or the World Health Organization. These original data sources include both open- and restricted-access sources. For restricted-access sources, the Project Tycho team has obtained permission for redistribution from data contributors. All datasets contain case count data that are identical to counts published in the original source and no counts have been modified in any way by the Project Tycho team, except for aggregation of individual case count data into daily counts when that was the best data available for a disease and location. The Project Tycho team has pre-processed datasets by adding new variables, such as standard disease and location identifiers, that improve data interpretability. We also formatted the data into a standard data format. All geographic locations at the country and admin1 level have been represented at the same geographic level as in the data source, provided an ISO code or codes could be identified, unless the data source specifies that the location is listed at an inaccurate geographical level. For more information about decisions made by the curation team, recommended data processing steps, and the data sources used, please see the README that is included in the dataset download ZIP file.

As societies urbanize, their populations have become increasingly dependent on the private sector for essential services. The way the private sector responds to health emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic can determine the health and economic wellbeing of urban populations, an effect amplified for poorer communities. Here we present a qualitative document analysis of media reports and policy documents in four low resource settings-Bangladesh, Ghana, Nepal, Nigeria-between January and September 2020. The review focuses on two questions: (i) Who are the private sector actors who have engaged in the COVID-19 first wave response and what was their role?; and (ii) How have national and sub-national governments engaged in, and with, the private sector response and what have been the effects of these engagements? Three main roles of the private sector were identified in the review. (1) Providing resources to support the public health response. (2) Mitigating the financial impact of the pandemic on individuals and businesses. (3) Adjustment of services delivered by the private sector, within and beyond the health sector, to respond to pandemic-related business challenges and opportunities. The findings suggest that a combination of public-private partnerships, contracting, and regulation have been used by governments to influence private sector involvement. Government strategies to engage the private sector developed quickly, reflecting the importance of private services to populations. However, implementation of regulatory responses, especially in the health sector, has often been weak reflecting the difficulty governments have in ensuring affordable, quality private services. Lessons for future pandemics and other health emergencies include the need to ensure that essential non-pandemic health services in the government and non-government sector can continue despite elevated risks, surge capacity to minimize shortages of vital public health supplies is available, and plans are in place to ensure private workplaces remain safe and livelihoods protected.

Research evidence has shown some geographical variations in physical activity (PA) between rural and urban environments. However, engagement in PA among African populations in the wake of COVID-19 has been largely unexplored. The current study examined residential area differences in PA, overweight, and self-rated health status among participants during the COVID-19 pandemic in Ghana. Participants (N = 856) were recruited from the university community during the COVID-19 health crisis by means of an online survey posted on various social media platforms, through direct e-mail invitations, and in-person recruitment. More than half of the participants (56.0%) have not been vaccinated for COVID-19, but their self-rated health status were mostly good (87.6%) and only a few (12.4%) rated their health status as poor. Most of the participants rated their weight as normal (80.1%). A statistically significant difference was observed in walking between participants whose place of residence was in the city and those who resided in the town during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic (p = 0.047).

Results of a cross-sectional online survey (N=2382) conducted over five days between 23 and 28 February 2021 to assess knowledge and attitudes of adult Ghanaians on receiving COVID-19 vaccines.
