Soil-transmitted helminthiasis in four districts in Bangladesh
In the three low-prevalence districts, the MOHFW is considering decreasing the frequency of mass drug administration, per World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. Also, the MOHFW will focus programmatic resources and supervisory efforts on Sirajganj District. Despite considering WHO guidance, the MOHFW will not expand PC administration to women of reproductive age partly due to the low prevalence of hookworm and T. trichiura, the STH parasites…
Impact of a Malaria-Control Project in Benin That Included the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness Strategy
Objectives. To estimate the impact of the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) strategy on early-childhood mortality, we evaluated a malaria-control project in Benin that implemented IMCI and promoted insecticide-treated nets (ITNs). Methods. We conducted a before-and-after intervention study that included a nonrandomized comparison group. We used the preceding birth technique to measure early-childhood mortality (risk of dying befor…
The rise and fall of supervision in a project designed to strengthen supervision of Integrated Management of Childhood Illness in Benin
OBJECTIVE: In developing countries, supervision is a widely recognized strategy for improving health worker performance; and anecdotally, maintaining regular, high-quality supervision is difficult. However, remarkably little research has explored in depth why supervision is so challenging. METHODS: In the context of a trial to improve health worker adherence to Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) guidelines and strengthen supervisio…
A Multifaceted Intervention to Improve Health Worker Adherence to Integrated Management of Childhood Illness Guidelines in Benin
Objectives. We evaluated an intervention to support health workers after training in Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI), a strategy that can improve outcomes for children in developing countries by encouraging workers' use of evidence-based guidelines for managing the leading causes of child mortality. Methods. We conducted a randomized trial in Benin. We administered a survey in 1999 to assess health care quality before IMCI train…
Management of Childhood Illness at Health Facilities in Benin
Objectives. To prepare for the implementation of Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) in Benin, we studied the management of ill children younger than 5 years at outpatient health facilities. Methods. We observed a representative sample of consultations; after each consultation, we interviewed caregivers and reexamined children. Health workers' performance was evaluated against IMCI guidelines. To identify determinants of performance…
Community Health Worker Performance in the Management of Multiple Childhood Illnesses
Objectives. To characterize community health worker (CHW) performance using an algorithm for managing common childhood illnesses in Siaya District, Kenya, we conducted CHW evaluations in 1998, 1999, and 2001. Methods. Randomly selected CHWs were observed managing sick outpatient and inpatient children at a hospital, and their management was compared with that of an expert clinician who used the algorithm. Results. One hundred, 108, and 114 CHWs p…
Care Seeking During Fatal Childhood Illnesses
1 of every 5 children in Nyanza Province Kenya dies before reaching 5 years of age. Community health workers in 200 villages were trained by Cooperative for Assistance and Relief Everywhere Kenyas Community Initiatives for Child Survival to treat children with fever cough or difficult breathing and diarrhea; refer seriously ill children; and promote illness prevention behaviors. A year after a study was conducted to investigate care-seeking itine…
Campylobacter jejuni infections on college campuses
We surveyed 303 colleges and universities to determine the frequency of isolations of Campylobacter jejuni and other enteric bacterial pathogens. Campylobacter cultures could be obtained at 74 per cent; 10 per cent of stool cultures yielded Campylobacter, which was isolated 10 and 46 times more frequently than Salmonella and Shigella, respectively. The incidence of diagnosed Campylobacter infections was 1.3 per 10,000 enrolled students per month.…
