  • Addressing TB multimorbidity in policy and practice

    Open AccessAlexander Jarde, Noemia Teixeira de Siqueira-Filha et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    In people with TB, co-existence of long-term conditions (e.g., depression, diabetes and HIV) and risk factors (e.g.,alcohol misuse, malnutrition, and smoking) are associated with increased mortality and poor treatment outcomes including delayed recovery, TB treatment failure and relapse. However, it is unclear as to what extent these comorbidities are addressed in TB policy and practice. Between August and October 2021, we conducted an online cro…

  • Knowledge and Response to the Covid-19 Pandemic in People With Severe Mental Illness in Bangladesh and Pakistan

    Open AccessSukanya Rajan, Lewis W Paton et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2022

    Our paper adds to the literature on people living with SMIs and their knowledge and practices relevant to COVID-19 prevention. Our results emphasize the importance of access to mass and social media for the dissemination of advice and that the likely gendered uptake of both knowledge and practice requires further attention
