Dengue occurrence relations and serology
The evidence from the baseline survey provided important support for the design and implementation of the trial intervention. The weakness of community leadership and the relatively low rates of self-reported dengue illness were challenges that the Mexican intervention team had to overcome. The higher dengue illness occurrence among women in Costa Grande and Costa Chica may help explain why women participated more than men in activities during th…
Aedes aegypti breeding ecology in Guerrero
Concrete tanks and barrels accounted for the majority of pupal productivity. Covering water containers could be an effective means of Ae. aegypti vector control, with a bigger effect than using temephos. These findings were useful in planning and implementing the Camino Verde trial intervention in Mexico
Coverage and beliefs about temephos application for control of dengue vectors and impact of a community-based prevention intervention

Pupal productivity in rainy and dry seasons

Household costs of dengue illness
The trial was registered as ISRCTN:27,581,154
Where we put little fish in the water there are no mosquitoes
Our study suggests that fish in water containers may reduce the risk of dengue virus infection and dengue illness. This could be a useful part of interventions to control the Aedes aegypti vector

ISRCTN27581154
Knowledge synthesis of benefits and adverse effects of measles vaccination
BACKGROUND: In preparation for a cluster-randomized controlled trial of a community intervention to increase the demand for measles vaccination in Lasbela district of Pakistan, a balance sheet summarized published evidence on benefits and possible adverse effects of measles vaccination. METHODS: The balance sheet listed: 1) major health conditions associated with measles; 2) the risk among the unvaccinated who contract measles; 3) the risk among …
Minority Health and Small Numbers Epidemiology
Objective. We sought to test methods for generating epidemiological evidence on health conditions of small, dispersed minority communities. Methods. We used community-based mixed methods including a cross-sectional survey in 5 purposely selected settlements of Khorakané Romá (Gypsies of Muslim culture) in Italy to study the living conditions and health status of children aged from birth to 5 years. Results. In the 15 days prior to the survey, 32%…
Household cost-benefit equations and sustainable universal childhood immunisation
This project proposes knowledge translation as a two-way communication that can be augmented by local and international evidence. We will document cultural and contextual barriers to immunisation in the context of household cost-benefit equations. The project makes this information accessible to health managers, and reciprocally, makes information on immunisation effects and side effects available to communities. We will measure the impact of thi…
Implementing the Convention on the Rights of the Child through national programmes of action for children
Who pays for measles? The economic arguments for sustained immunization
Increasing international commitment to Universal Child Immunization (UCI) intensifies pressures on already scarce health resources. The costs of the 1989/90 measles epidemic were measured in the State of Guerrero, Mexico, from the perspective of the health services and 43 representative communities. Financial loss was incurred from illness in families of 70% of the 1211 measles cases in a study population of 50294. Some 30% of these families did …
The use of community-based data in health planning in Mexico and Central America
Sentinel site surveillance methodology is used in Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, Panama and in the Mexican state of Guerrero to collect reliable planning-oriented health information at community level. Limited resources available for health measurement can be concentrated in these sites which, when taken together, reflect the diversity of health conditions; some sites include health facilities and others do not, in proportion with t…
