Does home-based screening improve hypertension diagnosis, treatment and control? A regression discontinuity analysis in urban India
Open AccessMichaela Theilmann, Sneha Sarah Mani et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025
As part of India’s efforts to expand primary healthcare services, several state governments are implementing or considering home-based hypertension screening programmes to improve population-wide diagnosis and blood pressure (BP) control rates. However, there is limited evidence on the effectiveness of home-based screening programmes in India. Using six waves of population-representative cohort data (N=15574), we estimate the causal effect of a h…
Perceptions of body size and non-communicable disease risk among people with HIV in Nairobi, Kenya
Open AccessKara Suvada, Erica L Kocher et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025
INTRODUCTION: Burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) continues to rise in low- and middle-income countries like Kenya. People with HIV (PWH) may be at greater risk for obesity and NCDs. National health policies recommend integrated approaches to manage these conditions, but have not been widely implemented. To inform implementation, we characterised PWH's knowledge, attitudes and practices related to NCDs, perceptions of body size and NCD ris…

The role of neighborhood and household level socio-economic status in determining air pollution exposure in two Indian cities
Open AccessJyothi S Menon, Siddhartha Mandal et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025
Although recent studies indicate that air pollution exposure affects lower socioeconomic groups more, there is limited evidence regarding the relative influence of household and neighborhood socioeconomic status (SES) on air pollution exposure in lower- and middle-income country settings. We evaluated the associations between neighborhood- and household-level SES metrics and exposure to ambient particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) in two populous Indian …
Does bundling reminders with messages debunking misconceptions improve the demand for preventive health services? A randomized controlled trial among adults with hypertension in Punjab, India
Open AccessCaterina Favaretti, Vasanthi Subramonia Pillai et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2025Referências: 42
Regular follow-up visits are a crucial component of prevention and care for several important non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Yet evidence across low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) reveals low demand for preventive healthcare visits. While reminders are commonly used to improve follow-up visit attendance, we hypothesized that low demand could also be driven by misconceptions about the need for preventive care. We thus conducted a randomiz…
Trends in body mass index for people with and without HIV
Open AccessRodrigo M Carrillo-Larco, Caroline A Bulstra et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024
It remains unclear if and how body mass index (BMI) levels have changed over time in HIV endemic regions. We described trends in mean BMI and prevalence of overweight between 2003–2019 in 10 countries in Africa including people living with (PLWH) and without (PLWoH) HIV. We pooled Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) from countries where ≥2 surveys >4 years apart were available with height/weight measurements and HIV tests. HIV status was ascerta…

A mediation analysis evaluating change in self-stigma on diabetes outcomes among people with depression in urban India
Open AccessScott Halliday, Deepa Rao et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024
Self-stigma–the internalization of negative community attitudes and beliefs about a disease or condition–represents an important barrier to improving patient care outcomes for people living with common mental disorders and diabetes. Integrated behavioral healthcare interventions are recognized as evidence-based approaches to improve access to behavioral healthcare and for improving patient outcomes, including for those with comorbid diabetes, yet…

Methods and participant characteristics in the Cancer Risk in Vegetarians Consortium
Open AccessYashvee Dunneram, Jia Yi Lee et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024
Food intakes and lifestyle factors of both non-vegetarians and vegetarians varied markedly across the individual cohorts, which may be due to differences in both culture and socioeconomic status, as well as differences in questionnaire design. Therefore, care is needed in the interpretation of the impacts of vegetarian diets on cancer risk
Concordance of weight status between mothers and children
Open AccessFaiz Alam, M Korban Ali et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024
The findings indicate that the weight status of mother's is positively associated with that of their children, particularly after age 2. These associations further strengthen the call for research regarding interventions and policies aimed at healthy weight promotion among mothers and their children collectively, rather than focusing on individuals in isolation
Evaluating bias with loss to follow-up in a community-based cohort
Dimple Kondal, Ashish Awasthi et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2024Referências: 27
BACKGROUND: Retention of participants is a challenge in community-based longitudinal cohort studies. We aim to evaluate the factors associated with loss to follow-up and estimate attrition bias. METHODS: Data are from an ongoing cohort study, Center for cArdiometabolic Risk Reduction in South Asia (CARRS) in India (Delhi and Chennai). Multinomial logistic regression analysis was used to identify sociodemographic factors associated with partial (a…
Is Electronic Information Exchange Associated With Lower 30-Day Readmission Charges Among Medicare Beneficiaries
Open AccessSara D Turbow, Puneet Kaur Chehal et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2024Referências: 31
OBJECTIVE: Fragmented readmissions, when admission and readmission occur at different hospitals, are associated with increased charges compared with nonfragmented readmissions. We assessed if hospital participation in health information exchange (HIE) was associated with differences in total charges in fragmented readmissions. DATA SOURCE: Medicare Fee-for-Service Data, 2018. STUDY DESIGN: We used generalized linear models with hospital referral …

Anxiety and depression among adult tobacco users during the Covid-19 restrictions in India
Open AccessShalini Bassi, Gaurang P Nazar et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2022
During COVID-19 lockdown, mental health of tobacco users (primarily women) was associated with food, housing and financial insecurity. The Indian Government rightly initiated several health, social and economic measures to shield the most vulnerable from COVID-19, including a ban on the sale of tobacco products. It is also necessary to prioritize universal health coverage, expanded social security net, tobacco cessation and mental health services…
