Understanding why at-risk population segments do not seek care for tuberculosis
INTRODUCTION: Delaying care-seeking for tuberculosis (TB) symptoms is a major contributor to mortality, leading to worse outcomes and spread. To reduce delays, it is essential to identify barriers to care-seeking and target populations most at risk of delaying. Previous work identifies barriers only in people within the health system, often long after initial care-seeking. METHODS: We conducted a community-based survey of 84 625 households in Che…
Facilities are substantially more influential than care providers in the quality of delivery care received
INTRODUCTION: Improving the quality of care during childbirth is essential for reducing neonatal and maternal mortality. One barrier to improving quality of care is understanding the appropriate level to target interventions. We examine quality of care data during labour and delivery from multiple countries to assess whether quality varies primarily from nurse to nurse within the same facility, or primarily between facilities. METHODS: To assess …
Closing the gap on institutional delivery in northern India
INTRODUCTION: Meeting ambitious global health goals with limited resources requires a precision public health (PxPH) approach. Here we describe how integrating data collection optimisation, traditional analytics and causal artificial intelligence/machine learning (ML) can be used in a use case for increasing hospital deliveries of newborns in Uttar Pradesh, India. METHODS: Using a systematic behavioural framework we designed a large-scale survey …
Understanding the socio-economic and sexual behavioural correlates of male circumcision across eleven voluntary medical male circumcision priority countries in southeastern Africa
Since the data collected predate VMMC program launch in these countries, results can only indicate baseline associations. However, characteristics of these existing circumcision practices may be utilized for better population targeting and program management to achieve higher impact with this effective prevention strategy
Learning about scale, measurement and community mobilisation
Debates have raged in development for decades about the appropriateness of participatory approaches and the degree to which they can be managed, scaled and measured. The Avahan programme confronted these issues over the last 7 years and concludes that it is advantageous to manage scaled community mobilisation processes so that participation evolves and programming on the ground is shaped by what is learnt through implementation. The donor (Bill &…
P1-81 HIV, HSV-2 and syphilis among married couples in India
Introduction Differences in sexual networks likely explain the disparity in the scale of HIV epidemics in sub-Saharan Africa and India. HIV and sexually transmitted infection (STI) discordant couple studies provide insights into important aspects of these sexual networks. We wished to quantify the role of male sexual behaviour in HIV transmission in married couples. Methods We analysed patterns of HIV, HSV-2 and syphilis sero-concordance and disc…
P1-82 Prevalence and correlates of herpes simplex virus-2 and syphilis infections in the general population in India
Introduction To determine the prevalence and correlates of Herpes Simplex Virus-2 (HSV-2) and syphilis infections in the general population in India. Methods 2456 adults were surveyed in Hyderabad, Bangalore and Chandigarh in India. Socio-demographic and lifestyle characteristics were obtained through a questionnaire, and a dried blood spot (DBS) was collected from all individuals aged 18 and over; sexual behaviour was collected from those aged 1…
Body mass index, sexual behaviour, and sexually transmitted infections
Obese and overweight individuals, especially men, self report fewer sex partners than individuals of normal weight, but surprisingly this is not reflected in their risk of HSV-2 infection. HSV-2 antibodies provide information not contained in self-reported number of partners and may better estimate sexual risk than self-reported behaviour
