Developing standards of care for HIV prevention research in developing countries – a case study of 10 research centers in Eastern and Southern Africa
Standards of care provided to volunteers in HIV prevention research in developing countries are evolving. Inconsistency in standards, particularly within a research network highlights the need to balance volunteers' health and wellness with the efficient conduct of research. Ten research centers (RC's) in East and Southern Africa affiliated with the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI) were studied using a mixed methods approach to unders…
Ensuring quality of services in HIV prevention research settings
Quality improvement (QI) has been widely implemented in health services but has not been widely applied in HIV prevention research. Most prevention research centers have commonly employed traditional approaches (e.g., checklists) to quality control that document what has been done but not the quality of what has been done. Unlike other health settings, prevention research settings have unique characteristics and ethical requirements that require …

The Perception of Health Scale (PHS) is based on earlier work that used the Health Belief Model as a focus. The 15‐item PHS was administered to 322 patients in several settings, and the responses were analyzed by the metho…
Challenges to microbicide introduction in South Africa
Identifying value indicators and social capital in community health partnerships
Increasingly, public health practice is turning to the application of community collaborative models to improve population health status. Despite the growth of these activities, however, evaluations of the national demonstrations have indicated that community health partnerships fail to achieve measurable results and struggle to maintain integrity required for sustaining efforts. Whereas community partnerships are difficult to evaluate, tradition…
Individual empowerment
The purposes of this study were to operationalize individual empowerment within the context of the MOMobile Program, to explore the relationships formed between MOMobile Advocates and their clients, and to develop an appropriate survey instrument for assessing the impact of a Community Health Worker (CHW) intervention in a community‐based social service agency. Phase I of a multiphase study used focus group interviews with MOMobile Advocates to o…
The impact of community health workers on the self‐determination, self‐sufficiency, and decision‐making ability of low‐income women and mothers of young children
Pregnant women at high risk for adverse health outcomes can benefit from the services of community health workers. Maternity Care Coalition identifies at risk women and provides links to health care and social services through the MOMobile Program. The purpose of this study was to explore (a) the relationship formed between community health workers and pregnant women, and (b) the change over time in a mother's perceived level of empowerment as me…
