Untreated, uncontrolled and below-target hypertension in southern Africa
INTRODUCTION: Hypertension programmes have expanded substantially in low-income and middle-income countries, yet treatment and control rates remain insufficient. Programme scale-up may lead to suboptimal health outcomes and resource allocation if diagnostic accuracy, monitoring and treatment protocol adherence are inadequate. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of untreated, uncontrolled and below-target hypertension in rural Lesotho, and…
Effect of same-day HIV treatment initiation (SDI) on 1-year outcomes in low- and middle-income countries
Drivers of chronic depressive and harmful alcohol use symptoms among adults living with HIV in Lesotho
Introduction Mental health problems are prevalent among people with HIV (PWH) in Southern Africa. However, mental health problems are substantially under-diagnosed and under-treated in this setting. This study explores the drivers, explanatory factors, and coping mechanisms of mental health problems among PWH in Lesotho who have lived experience with depressive symptoms and/or alcohol use problems and attempts to contextualize the findings to loc…
Mental health and substance use problems among adolescents in Lesotho
Adolescence is a developmental window in which mental health symptomatology and other health behaviors can set lifelong trajectories. Yet, adolescent development research in rural areas of low-resource communities is severely lacking. Conceptualized in the Adolescent Well-Being Framework, where diet and activity form a core domain of well-being, we examined two modifiable risk behaviors (sugar-sweetened beverage consumption and physical activity)…
Face-to-face, confidential and health worker-led
Behavioral treatments can help people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) improve their quality of life and treatment adherence. In Lesotho, where a fifth of adults live with HIV and depression and harmful alcohol use is prevalent among this group, little is known about the local suitability of established behavioral treatment strategies. We explored preferences regarding two strategies evaluated in other settings: involving phones and truste…
Awareness, treatment, and control among adults living with arterial hypertension or diabetes mellitus in two rural districts in Lesotho
In Lesotho, the hypertension and diabetes care cascades are unknown. We measured awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension and diabetes among adults ≥18 years and identified factors associated with each step of the cascade, based on data from a population-based, cross-sectional survey in 120 randomly sampled clusters in the districts of Butha-Buthe and Mokhotlong from 1 st November 2021 to 31 st August 2022. We used multivariable logistic…
Prevalence of Mental Health and Substance use Problems and Awareness of Need for Services in Lesotho
We conducted a household survey among 6061 adults in Lesotho to (1) assess the prevalence of moderate/severe mental health (MH) and substance use (SU) problems (2) describe the MH and SU service cascades, and (3) assess predictors of MH and SU problem awareness (i.e., awareness of having a MH/SU problem that requires treatment). Moderate/severe MH or SU problems was reported between 0.7% for anxiety in the past 2 weeks to 36.4% for alcohol use in…
Community-based care models for arterial hypertension management in non-pregnant adults in sub-Saharan Africa
The overall quality of available evidence on community-based aHT care is low. Published models of care are very heterogeneous and available evidence is insufficient to recommend or refute further scale up in sub-Sahara Africa. We propose that future projects and studies implementing and assessing community-based models for aHT care are designed and described according to six building blocks: providers, target groups, components, location, time of…
Pebra trial – effect of a peer-educator coordinated preference-based ART service delivery model on viral suppression among adolescents and young adults living with HIV
Clinicaltrials.gov, NCT03969030. Registered on 31 May 2019. More information: www.pebra.info
Effect and cost of two successive home visits to increase HIV testing coverage
NCT02692027 (prospectively registered on February 21, 2016)
Social Resilience and Mental Health Among Eritrean Asylum-Seekers in Switzerland
Eritreans comprise the largest group of asylum-seekers in Switzerland. Gaining recognized refugee status can take up to 36 months, during which time asylum-seekers live in a state of legal limbo, intensifying threats to their well-being. Resilience and mental health among this population is poorly understood. We interviewed 10 asylum-seekers residing in Switzerland using qualitative, in-depth interviews. Data were analyzed using the Framework Met…
