Expanding eligibility and improving quality of cervical cancer screening in Estonia
Open AccessSamuel Rigby, Rachel Neff Greenley et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy2024
A single payer and established population register facilitated reform. • Complex governance structures created delays to reaching consensus on policy responses. • Change was facilitated by concerns about quality and coverage. • Cancer screening needs explicit monitoring with effective oversight and clear accountability. Estonia has one of the highest death rates from cervical cancer in the European Union despite having had a population-based scre…
An overview of cervical cancer epidemiology and prevention in the Baltic States
Open AccessUna Kojalo, Anna Tisler et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023
Cervical cancer remains a substantial health problem in the region and the efforts in addressing barriers by implementing a four-step plan for elimination cervical cancer in Europe should be made. This goal is achievable through evidence-based steps in four key areas: vaccination, screening, treatment, and public awareness
Field Testing the “Avoid the Needle” Intervention for Persons at Risk for Transitioning to Injecting Drug Use in Tallinn, Estonia and New York City, USA
Open AccessDon C Des Jarlais, Courtney McKnight et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2023
This study aimed to field tested the "Avoid the Needle" (AtN) intervention to reduce transitions from non-injecting to injecting drug use in two different epidemiological settings. Respondent driven sampling was used to recruit current non-injecting drug users (NIDUs) in Tallinn, Estonia in 2018-19 and in New York City (NYC) in 2019-20. Both persons who had never injected and persons who had previously injected but not in the last 6 months were e…
A Multistage Process Model of How a Person Who Currently Injects Drugs Comes to Assist Persons Who Do not Inject with Their First Injections
Open AccessDon C Des Jarlais, Kamyar Arasteh et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sociology2021
Injecting drugs for the first time almost always requires assistance from an experienced person who injects drugs (PWID). While there has been moderate amount of research on PWID who assist with first injections, most of this research has focused on identifying characteristics of PWID who assist with first injections. We do not have a formal model that describes how the minority of PWID come to assist do so, while the majority never assist. Throu…

Polydrug Use and Heterogeneity in HIV Risk Among People Who Inject Drugs in Estonia and Russia
Open AccessIsabel Tavitian-Exley, Marie-Claude Boily et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2018
Non-medical drug injection is a major risk factor for HIV infection in Russia and Estonia. Multiple drug use (polydrug) has further been associated with increased harms. We compared HIV, injecting and sexual risk associated with polydrug use among people who injected drugs (PWID) in 2012-2013 in Kohtla-Järve (Estonia, n = 591) and St Petersburg (Russia, n = 811). Using latent class analysis, we identified five (poly)drug classes, the largest cons…

Combined prevention for persons who inject drugs in the HIV epidemic in a transitional country
Anneli Uusküla, Don C Des Jarlais et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2015
The study was undertaken to assess the potential effectiveness of combined HIV prevention on the very high seroprevalence epidemic among persons who inject drugs (PWID) in Tallinn, Estonia, a transitional country. Data from community-based cross-sectional (respondent-driven sampling) surveys of PWID in 2005, 2007, 2009, and 2011 were used together with mathematical modeling of injection-associated HIV acquisition to estimate changes in injection-…
Non-fatal overdoses and related risk factors among people who inject drugs in St. Petersburg, Russia and Kohtla-Järve, Estonia

PWID are at high risk for overdose. Effective overdose prevention efforts at the public health scale are therefore warranted

Developing an adherence support intervention for patients on antiretroviral therapy in the context of the recent IDU-driven HIV/Aids epidemic in Estonia
Kaja-Triin Laisaar, Anneli Uusküla et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2013
There is limited data on and experience with interventions for antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence support for patients on ART in Eastern Europe. We sought to identify a feasible adherence support intervention for delivery amongst HIV-positive adults receiving care in Estonia, where the HIV/AIDS epidemic has been mainly concentrated among injection drug users (IDUs). Our application of intervention mapping (IM) strategies used existing literat…

Antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence and correlates to nonadherence among people on ART in Estonia
Anneli Uusküla, Kaja-Triin Laisaar et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2012
There are little data on antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence among patients in Eastern Europe, despite the high incidence of HIV infection and the growing number of HIV-infected individuals who are being prescribed ART. The aim of this study was to measure rates of adherence to ART and factors associated with nonadherence among patients receiving care at an outpatient HIV clinic in Estonia. The study was based on cross-sectional data from a co…
