Comparative cost analysis of community-based tuberculosis screening
Community-based active case finding (ACF) for tuberculosis (TB) is recommended in high-burden settings, yet evidence on implementation costs from prospective programmatic data remains limited. We estimated and compared the costs of two community-based ACF screening approaches: Computer-Aided Detection of chest X-rays alone ( CAD4TBv7 approach ) and CAD4TBv7 followed by point-of-care C-reactive protein (CRP) testing within a predefined score windo…
Association of soybean-based food with the prevalence of anaemia among reproductive-aged men and women in rural Central Java, Indonesia
Objective: To assess the association between soybean consumption and anaemic status in Central Java, Indonesia. Design: As part of an overarching sanitation improvement intervention in Central Java, Indonesia, we conducted a cross-sectional study in four rural villages. The study consisted of a 24-h food recall, anthropometric measurements, blood Hb measurement and stool sampling to test for soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infection status. A bin…
Health Risk Assessment for Exposure to Nitrate in Drinking Water in Central Java, Indonesia
Since 2005, over 30 epidemiological studies have evaluated the association between nitrate in drinking water and adverse health outcomes. Conditions that lead to nitrate pollution in water, such as open defecation, the proximity of septic tanks to water sources, and the use of inorganic fertilizer, are rampant in Indonesia, which has experienced little research evaluating nitrate in drinking water. We conducted a health risk assessment for exposu…
Shadow Puppets and Neglected Diseases (2)
Performing arts used as a method of spreading health information dates back to the origins of storytelling. However, interventions in developing, non-Western countries typically utilize Western entertainment forms. This qualitative investigation assesses responses to an intervention designed around traditional Javanese shadow puppetry ( wayang kulit ). Semi-structured interviews provided in-depth responses from a sample (N = 12) of villagers. Res…
Shadow Puppets and Neglected Diseases
Rama and the Worm' is a shadow puppet production targeting neglected diseases in Central Java. It is an entertainment-based intervention study to promote health by reducing the impact of parasitic diseases such as soil-transmitted helminths (STH). The study uses traditional Javanese shadow puppetry ( wayang kulit ) as a vehicle in village communities to disseminate health messages and promote behaviour change to prevent diseases caused, primarily…
