Steps on a journey to TB control in Solomon Islands
BACKGROUND: In Solomon Islands many people with Tuberculosis (TB) have challenges in accessing services because of socio-cultural, geographic and health service reasons, resulting in delays in TB treatment and low detection rates. The purpose of this project was to (i) develop a local language audio-visual resource (DVD) about TB (ii) share this resource with people in remote villages and (iii) evaluate the process and outcomes. METHODS: The proj…
Mutual research capacity strengthening
The flexible and responsive process we used to strengthen research capacity was identified as mutually beneficial. Using community-based participatory frameworks underpinned by decolonising methodologies is assisting to redress historical power imbalances and inequities and is helping to sustain the initial steps taken to establish a local research agenda at Atoifi Hospital. It is our experience that embedding mutuality throughout the research ca…
Cognitive testing of the WHOQOL-BREF Bangladesh tool in a northern rural Bangladeshi population with lymphatic filariasis
"We can move forward"
A search and collaborative review of public health literature for Solomon Islands at a health research capacity building workshop has uncovered and challenged historical inequity in the conduct and access to public health research. Emerging Solomon Islander researchers at a remote hospital are now working to set priorities and strengthen local research efforts. These efforts have highlighted the importance of collaboration and mentoring for Solom…
Self-reported anticipated compliance with physician advice to stay home during pandemic (H1N1) 2009
Ninety-five percent of people report they would comply with a physicians' advice to stay home for seven days if they are diagnosed with pandemic (H1N1) 2009 or avian influenza, but only 71% can be expected to comply in the setting of seasonal influenza and fewer still can be expected to comply if they are diagnosed with a common cold. Sub-populations that might be worthwhile targets for public health messages aimed at increasing the rate of self-…
Spread of Chytridiomycosis Has Caused the Rapid Global Decline and Extinction of Frogs
Beyond evidence
There is a growing appreciation that decisions on changing drug treatment policy should be based on robust evidence of drug effectiveness. No published information describing the process of decision making prior to malaria treatment policy changes or subsequent success in implementing treatment policy changes exists in South Africa. This retrospective study of the differential implementation of a policy change from chloroquine to sulphadoxine-pyr…
