The engagement of Indigenous populations in tuberculosis control – with a focus on contact tracing
This review highlights the lack of consistency in the engagement of Indigenous populations in published TB control efforts, as well as differences between national TB guidelines. These findings underscore the urgent need to strengthen and align national guidelines with international standards as part of progress towards TB elimination
Should neighbours of tuberculosis (TB) cases be prioritised for active case finding in high TB-burden settings? A prospective molecular epidemiological study
Introduction In high tuberculosis (TB)-burden countries, considerable transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( M. tb ) likely occurs outside of households. We aimed to estimate the TB prevalence and incidence in households and neighbourhoods around known TB cases and to understand transmission patterns. Methods Household and neighbourhood contacts of pulmonary TB index cases from contiguous areas in Bandung, Indonesia, were screened and follo…
Determinants of adherence towards tuberculosis guidelines among Indonesian private practitioners
INTRODUCTION: In high tuberculosis (TB) burden countries, the private sector manages a large proportion of initial visits by presumptive patients with TB. In Indonesia, the second largest contributor of TB cases globally, private practitioners (PPs) often do not adhere to national TB guidelines. A district public-private mix programme to mitigate this issue was started in 2019, yet engagement remains low. This study examines what affects the deci…
Tuberculosis care provided by private practitioners in an urban setting in Indonesia
In Indonesia, government-owned Community Health Centers (CHCs) spearhead tuberculosis (TB) care at the primary level, but a substantial proportion of individuals with pulmonary TB also seek care from Private Practitioners (PPs). However, little is known about PPs’ practice in managing patients with TB-associated symptoms. To avoid bias associated with self-administered surveys, we used standardized patients (SPs) to evaluate PPs’ adherence to the…
Quality of life in people living with HIV in Aotearoa New Zealand
Quality of life (QoL) in people living with HIV (PLHIV) is reportedly worse than in people without HIV, with many factors impacting on this. We aimed to investigate QoL in PLHIV in New Zealand (NZ). In-person interviews were conducted including socio-demographic, health, social connectedness, and stigma-related questions. QoL was measured using the 13-question PozQoL Scale – summed to give a score between 13 and 65. Univariate linear regression w…
Injecting drug use among gay and bisexual men in New Zealand
Do different types of financial support after illness or injury affect socio-economic outcomes? A natural experiment in New Zealand
Salary Arbitration and Pre-Arbitration Negotiation in Major League Baseball
Two assumptions in this analysis of baseball salary arbitration are that (1) players and clubs, to serve their interests in pre-arbitration negotiation, submit final offers to maximize and minimize, respectively, the expected value of the arbitrator's decision, and (2) arbitrators whose decisions are predictably biased are not appointed to settle player disputes, because such arbitrators are vetoed by one or the other side. These assumptions allo…
