  • Building an agile state-wide research infrastructure to address Covid-19 and emerging threats

    Open AccessPriya B Shete, Nicole Santos et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the need for efficient real-time evidence generation to inform public health interventions and policies. To address this gap, a formalized research partnership between the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and the University of California (UC) was created. The aim of this case study is to describe the achievements and lessons learned from the California Collaborative for Public Health Research (CPR3).…

  • Experiences and perceptions of conditional cash incentive provision and cessation among people with HIV for care engagement

    Open AccessJulia Giordano, Jayne Lewis-Kulzer et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    CCTs do not appear to exert their effects through motivation, but instead act through creating opportunities for better care engagement. This study helps us better understand the durability of financial incentives for HIV care engagement and support the idea that careful consideration be exercised when implementing incentives for sustainable engagement effects

  • Illness Narratives Without the Illness

    Open AccessJason Johnson-Peretz, Fredrick Atwine et al.ARTICLEJournal of Medical Humanities2024

    Illness narratives invite practitioners to understand how biomedical and traditional health information is incorporated, integrated, or otherwise internalized into a patient’s own sense of self and social identity. Such narratives also reveal cultural values, underlying patterns in society, and the overall life context of the narrator. Most illness narratives have been examined from the perspective of European-derived genres and literary theory, …

  • A youth-centred approach to improving engagement in HIV services

    Open AccessEliud Akama, Laura K Beres et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2023

    Introduction Innovative interventions are needed to improve HIV outcomes among adolescents and young adults (AYAs) living with HIV. Engaging AYAs in intervention development could increase effectiveness and youth acceptance, yet research is limited. We applied human-centred design (HCD) to refine adherence-support interventions pretrial and assessed HCD workshop acceptability

  • Population-level viremia predicts HIV incidence at the community level across the Universal Testing and Treatment Trials in eastern and southern Africa

    Open AccessJoseph Larmarange, Pamela Bachanas et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Universal HIV testing and treatment (UTT) strategies aim to optimize population-level benefits of antiretroviral treatment. Between 2012 and 2018, four large community randomized trials were conducted in eastern and southern Africa. While their results were broadly consistent showing decreased population-level viremia reduces HIV incidence, it remains unclear how much HIV incidence can be reduced by increasing suppression among people living with…

  • Taking Vaccine to Where the Virus Is—Equity and Effectiveness in Coronavirus Vaccinations

    Open AccessKirsten Bibbins-Domingo, Maya Petersen et al.ARTICLEJAMA Health Forum2021

    The urgency to accelerate vaccinations in the face of the recent coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic surge and the emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants has led many to adopt a simplified age-based prioritization strategy for COVID-19 vaccine allocation. The rationale for this approach is that implementation will be simpler

  • Feasibility and effectiveness of daily temperature screening to detect Covid-19 in a prospective cohort at a large public university

    Open AccessShelley N Facente, L A Hunter et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    Our study is the first, to our knowledge, that examines the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of daily temperature screening in a prospective cohort during an infectious disease outbreak, and the only study to assess these strategies in a university population. Daily temperature monitoring was feasible and acceptable; however, the majority of potentially infectious individuals were not detected by temperature monitoring, suggesting th…

  • Hypertension control in integrated HIV and chronic disease clinics in Uganda in the SEARCH study

    Open AccessDalsone Kwarisiima, Mucunguzi Atukunda et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2019

    The SEARCH Trial was prospectively registered with ClinicalTrials.gov : NCT01864603

  • The use of technology enhanced learning in health research capacity development

    Open AccessElaine Byrne, Lisa Donaldson et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2016

    BACKGROUND: With the recognition of the need for research capacity strengthening for advancing health and development, this research capacity article explores the use of technology enhanced learning in the delivery of a collaborative postgraduate blended Master's degree in Malawi. Two research questions are addressed: (i) Can technology enhanced learning be used to develop health research capacity?, and: (ii) How can learning content be designed …

  • “How can I tell?” Consequences of HIV status disclosure among couples in eastern African communities in the context of an ongoing HIV “test-and-treat” trial

    Open AccessIrene Maeri, Alison El Ayadi et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2016

    People living with HIV/AIDS anticipate HIV-related stigma and fear disclosure to intimate partners. Yet, disclosure is critical to reducing HIV transmission and improving care engagement. This qualitative study characterized HIV disclosure experiences and normative beliefs among couples in communities participating in an HIV test-and-treat trial in Kenya and Uganda (Sustainable East Africa Research in Community Health, NCT#01864603). In-depth int…

  • Men “missing” from population-based HIV testing

    Open AccessCarol S Camlin, Emmanuel Ssemmondo et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2016

    Men's uptake of HIV testing is critical to the success of "test and treat" strategies in generalized epidemics. This study sought to identify cultural factors and community processes that influence men's HIV testing uptake in the baseline year of an ongoing test-and-treat trial among 334,479 persons in eastern Africa (SEARCH, NCT#01864603). Data were collected using participant observation at mobile community health campaigns (CHCs) (n = 28); foc…

  • Expectations about future health and longevity in Kenyan and Ugandan communities receiving a universal test-and-treat intervention in the SEARCH trial

    Open AccessHarsha Thirumurthy, Aleksandra Jakubowski et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2016

    Expectations about future health and longevity are important determinants of individuals' decisions to invest in physical and human capital. Few population-level studies have measured subjective expectations and examined how they are affected by scale-up of antiretroviral therapy (ART). We assessed these expectations in communities receiving annual HIV testing and universal ART. Longitudinal data on expectations were collected at baseline and one…
