  • Reach of Community-Selected Strategies to Reduce Opioid-Related Overdose Deaths in the Healing Communities Study

    Open AccessMegan E Hall, LaShawn M Glasgow et al.ARTICLESubstance Use & Misuse2026

    INTRODUCTION: Despite recent declines, the U.S. opioid overdose crisis persists. The HEALing Communities Study (HCS) aimed to reduce opioid overdose deaths through community-level adoption of evidence-based practices (EBPs), including overdose education and naloxone distribution (OEND) and medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD). This paper describes the reach of OEND and MOUD strategies implemented by the 33 HCS wait-list control communities.…

  • Reach, implementation fidelity, and safety of bubble continuous positive airway pressure (bCPAP) therapy in children with severe pneumonia in Pakistan

    Open AccessNadir Ijaz, Ameera Shabbir et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Bubble continuous positive airway pressure (bCPAP) is a low-cost respiratory support device that has demonstrated different outcomes for children with severe pneumonia in different settings. Some differences in outcomes may be attributable to implementation factors (e.g., patient monitoring and feeding practices). We aimed to characterize bCPAP reach, implementation fidelity, and safety outcomes for children with severe pneumonia in Pakistan. We …

  • Evaluating community knowledge of tuberculosis preventive therapy in rural South Africa

    Open AccessCarlo Foppiano Palacios, Anthony P Moll et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    Rural South African community members demonstrated poor TB knowledge. Community members with good knowledge of TB were also aware of TPT. Greater community-level public health education and individual-level counseling efforts are needed to facilitate TPT expansion and implementation

  • Modeled estimates of HIV-serodifferent couples in tuberculosis-affected households in four sub-Saharan African countries

    Open AccessMeixin Zhang, Ashley S Tseng et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Household-based tuberculosis (TB) contact evaluation may be an efficient strategy to reach people who could benefit from oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) because of the epidemiological links between HIV and TB. This study estimated the number of HIV serodifferent couples in TB-affected households and potential HIV acquisitions averted through their PrEP use in 4 TB-HIV high-burden countries. We conducted a model-based analysis set in Ethiopia…

  • Exploring stakeholders perspectives on TB contact investigation in Cali, Colombia

    Open AccessJairo E Palomares Velosa, Jorge E Figueroa Gómez et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Introduction: Contact investigation is a proven intervention for tuberculosis (TB) case finding and prevention. Although widely endorsed by national public health authorities and the World Health Organization, many countries struggle to implement it effectively. The objective of the study is to describe and characterize the barriers and facilitators of TB contact investigation in Cali, Colombia from the perspective and experience of the key stake…

  • The feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary impact of real-time monitors and SMS on tuberculosis medication adherence in southwestern Uganda

    Open AccessAngella Musiimenta, Wilson Tumuhimbise et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    We conducted a pilot randomized controlled trial among patients initiating treatment for drug-sensitive tuberculosis (TB). Participants received real-time electronic adherence monitors and were randomized (1:1:1) to: (i) daily SMS (reminders to TB patients and notifications to social supporters sent daily for 3 months, then triggered by late or missed dosing for 3 months); (ii) weekly SMS (reminders to TB patients and notifications to social supp…

  • A user-centred implementation strategy for tuberculosis contact investigation in Uganda

    Open AccessAchilles Katamba, Amanda J Gupta et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    The trial was registered(ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT05640648) on 16 November 2022, after the trial launch on 7 March 2022

  • Theory-Informed Design of a Tailored Strategy for Implementing Household TB Contact Investigation in Uganda

    Open AccessJ Lucian Davis, Irene Ayakaka et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    Since 2012, the World Health Organization has recommended household contact investigation as an evidence-based intervention to find and treat individuals with active tuberculosis (TB), the most common infectious cause of death worldwide after COVID-19. Unfortunately, uptake of this recommendation has been suboptimal in low- and middle-income countries, where the majority of affected individuals reside, and little is known about how to effectively…

  • Cost-effectiveness analysis of human-centred design for global health interventions

    Open AccessChen Liu, Jae Hyoung Lee et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2022

    INTRODUCTION: Human-centred design (HCD) is a problem-solving approach that is increasingly used to develop new global health interventions. However, there is often a large initial cost associated with HCD, and global health decision-makers would benefit from an improved understanding of the cost-effectiveness of HCD, particularly the trade-offs between the up-front costs of design and the long-term costs of delivering health interventions. METHO…

  • Is aggregated surveillance data a reliable method for constructing tuberculosis care cascades? A secondary data analysis from Uganda

    Open AccessElizabeth B White, Raúl U Hernández-Ramírez et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    To accelerate tuberculosis (TB) control and elimination, reliable data is needed to improve the quality of TB care. We assessed agreement between a surveillance dataset routinely collected for Uganda’s national TB program and a high-fidelity dataset collected from the same source documents for a research study from 32 health facilities in 2017 and 2019 for six measurements: 1) Smear-positive and 2) GeneXpert-positive diagnoses, 3) bacteriological…

  • Perceptions, preferences, and experiences of tuberculosis education and counselling among patients and providers in Kampala, Uganda

    Open AccessIrene Ayakaka, Mari Armstrong‐Hough et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2022

    Tuberculosis (TB) education seeks to increase patient knowledge about TB, while TB counselling seeks to offer tailored advice and support for medication adherence. While universally recommended, little is known about how to provide effective, efficient, patient-centred TB education and counselling (TEC) in low-income, high HIV-TB burden settings. We sought to characterise stakeholder perceptions of TEC in a public, primary care facility in Kampal…

  • I can’t do it”

    Open AccessTyler Shelby, Cailin Arechiga et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    To improve contact tracing uptake, programs should respond to clients' physical and emotional needs; increase clarity of public communications; address structural and social factors that shape behaviors and opportunities; and establish and maintain trust. We identify multiple potential interventions that may help achieve these goals

  • Lessons Learned From Covid-19 Contact Tracing During a Public Health Emergency

    Open AccessTyler Shelby, Christopher Schenck et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2021

    Background: Contact tracing is a core element of the public health response to emerging infectious diseases including COVID-19. Better understanding the implementation context of contact tracing for pandemics, including individual- and systems-level predictors of success, is critical to preparing for future epidemics. Methods: We carried out a prospective implementation study of an emergency volunteer contact tracing program established in New Ha…

  • Implementation, interrupted

    Open AccessRachel Hennein, Joseph Ggita et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2021

    Many implementation efforts experience interruptions, especially in settings with developing health systems. Approaches for evaluating interruptions are needed to inform re-implementation strategies. We sought to devise an approach for evaluating interruptions by exploring the sustainability of a programme that implemented diabetes mellitus (DM) screening within tuberculosis clinics in Uganda in 2017. In 2019, we conducted nine interviews with cl…

  • Experiences and intentions of Ugandan household tuberculosis contacts receiving test results via text message

    Open AccessJoseph Ggita, Joseph M Ggita et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    Household contacts experienced relief when they received results. However, they were less confident about results delivered via SMS than results delivered by LHWs. Delivery of results by SMS should complement continued interaction with LHWs, not replace them
