System-level factors as predictors of adherence to clinical appointment schedules in antiretroviral therapy in Cambodia
Adherence to clinical appointment schedules by patients on antiretroviral therapy (ART) is necessary for the prevention of medication interruptions, viral rebound, and the development of drug resistance. An observational study conducted in 2010, Enablers and Adherence to Antiretroviral Therapy in Cambodia, sought to identify factors that predict on-time clinical appointment attendance by patients on ART. Clinical data, including appointment atten…

Sexual mixing patterns among social networks of HIV-positive and HIV-negative Beijing men who have sex with men
Men who have sex with men (MSM) are of immediate concern in China's HIV epidemic. In 2008, approximately 2.5-6.5% of China's eight million MSM were HIV positive, while MSM represented 11% of all new HIV cases. Two factors that will in-part determine HIV-transmission dynamics among MSM, are sexual mixing patterns and the social networks which shape them. Sexual mixing patterns and social networks of Chinese MSM, however, remain poorly understood w…
Prevalence and predictors of HIV infection amongst Malian students
The objectives of this cross-sectional study were to assess the prevalence and identify predictors of HIV-1 and HIV-2 infection among students in three cities of Mali. Between January and June 2005, we assessed HIV knowledge, attitudes, associated sexual behaviors and tested HIV serostatus among 950 high school and university students in Sikasso, Bamako, and Koulikoro cities, using a combination of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and We…
Association of misconceptions about HIV transmission and discriminatory attitudes in rural China
This study examined HIV-related knowledge and attitudes among 524 randomly selected adult residents from 12 rural Chinese communities where HIV infection among plasma donors has been reported. Most participants were familiar with the main routes of HIV transmission but had substantial misconceptions about risk of HIV transmission through casual social contacts. Higher score of misconception and being older and married independently predicted stro…
Nonresponse Bias in a Survey of Patient Perceptions of Hospital Care
BACKGROUND: Incomplete participation is of particular concern for surveys of patient perceptions of care because patients who have negative opinions may be least likely to participate. OBJECTIVE: We sought to examine indirect evidence of nonresponse bias. DESIGN: We re-analyzed data from a cross-sectional patient survey. SUBJECTS: Our subjects were patients discharged from a Swiss hospital (n = 2156). MEASURES: We measured the following: (1) an o…

Misconceptions about efficacy of mammography screening
OBJECTIVE: This study assessed accuracy of women's opinions about reduction in mortality from breast cancer attributable to mammography screening. DESIGN: Cross sectional survey. SETTING: General population of Geneva, Switzerland. PARTICIPANTS: 895 randomly selected women aged 40 to 80 years, free of breast cancer. RESULTS: Women estimated the proportion of deaths from breast cancer that regular mammography screening prevents in women over age 50…
