The impact of a voluntary alcohol and other drug diversion program on reoffending, imprisonment, and health
Survival times for participants in the MERIT program were significantly shorter for all health outcomes except one (death). At the 12-month mark, MERIT participants offended 21 per cent less frequently than comparison group participants (IRR: 0.793. CI: 0.748-0.841). This gap increased to 27 per cent after 24 months (IRR: 0.870. CI: 0.829-0.912). At the conclusion of criminal proceedings participants in the MERIT program were significantly less l…
Acceptability and challenges of rapid ART initiation among pregnant women in a pilot programme, Cape Town, South Africa
Maternal antiretroviral therapy (ART) is a critical intervention in the prevention-of-mother-to child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV. In South Africa, many HIV-infected pregnant women commence ART late in pregnancy, and as a result, the duration of ART prior to delivery is often insufficient to prevent vertical transmission. To address this, we designed an intervention for the rapid initiation of ART in pregnancy (RAP), where patient's ART preparati…

Pilot programme for the rapid initiation of antiretroviral therapy in pregnancy in Cape Town, South Africa
Initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in pregnancy is an important intervention to prevent the mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV and to promote maternal health. Early initiation of ART is particularly important to achieve viral suppression rapidly before delivery. However, current approaches to start ART in pregnancy may be problematic in many settings, with referrals between antenatal care (ANC) and ART services, and delays for pat…
