Optimising TB investments in Belarus, Moldova, Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan
High rates of drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) are a barrier to achieving End TB-strategy targets in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. This analysis collates results from five country-level modelling studies to identify priorities to reduce TB burden. Allocative efficiency studies were conducted in 2023 in Belarus, Kyrgyz Republic, Moldova, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan using the Optima TB model to determine the optimised distribution of funds to maxi…
Evaluation of the use of modelling in resource allocation decisions for HIV and TB
INTRODUCTION: Globally, resources for health spending, including HIV and tuberculosis (TB), are constrained, and a substantial gap exists between spending and estimated needs. Optima is an allocative efficiency modelling tool that has been used since 2010 in over 50 settings to generate evidence for country-level HIV and TB resource allocation decisions. This evaluation assessed the utilisation of modelling to inform financing priorities from the…
Patients’ access to and acceptance of community-based hepatitis C testing and treatment in Myanmar
Hepatitis C (HCV) infection elimination in low- and middle-income countries requires decentralised HCV services to increase testing and linkage to care. The CT2 Study investigated patients’ views of access to and acceptance of two community-based HCV care models in Myanmar using a mixed-methods approach. Point-of-care HCV testing and general practitioner-initiated HCV treatment were provided at two community clinics in Yangon, Myanmar–the Burnet …
Sexually Transmitted Infection Risks and Symptoms Heightened Among Female Sex Workers who Started Selling Sex Before the Age of 18 in Five Cities in Cameroon
Many adolescents under 18 years old who sell sex are at elevated risk for sexually transmitted infection (STI) acquisition, which may persist into adulthood. There has been limited study of the burden of the risks and vulnerabilities among women who started selling sex as adolescents across Sub-Saharan Africa. In this study, a Adult female sex workers (FSW) recruited through respondent-driven sampling in five cities in Cameroon from December 2015…
Predictors of early childhood HIV testing among children of sex workers living with HIV in Cameroon
Vertical transmission of HIV remains a challenge in Cameroon, and HIV testing among children of FSW living with HIV was very low. ANC attendance and promotion of the mother's health were associated with increased child HIV testing. For women at high risk of HIV and for whom engagement in the health system is low, strategies to promote and ensure ANC attendance are essential for their health and the health of their children
Use and Acceptability of HIV Self-Testing Among First-Time Testers at Risk for HIV in Senegal
HIV Self-Testing (HIVST) aims to increase HIV testing coverage and can facilitate reaching the UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets. In Senegal, key populations bear a disproportionate burden of HIV and report limited uptake of HIV testing given pervasive stigma and criminalization. In these contexts, HIVST may represent a complementary approach to reach populations reporting barriers to engagement with existing and routine HIV testing services. In this study…

Sexual identity, same-sex partners and risk behaviour among a community-based sample of young people in Australia
Comparing short versions of the Audit in a community-based survey of young people
Numerous abbreviated variations of the AUDIT may be a suitable alternative to the AUDIT-10 for classifying high-level alcohol problems in a community-based population of young Australians. Four-item AUDIT variations scored more consistently high across all evaluated statistics compared to three-item combinations. Novel AUDIT versions may be more effective than many established shortened versions as an alternative screening tool to the AUDIT-10 to…
