  • Heterogeneity in Mycobacterium tuberculosis immunoreactivity in young children in Blantyre, Malawi

    Open AccessHannah M Rickman, Mphatso D Phiri et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    As tuberculosis (TB) incidence declines, transmission becomes increasingly concentrated in vulnerable populations and neighbourhoods. There is an urgent need for affordable surveillance strategies to monitor trends, identify high-risk groups and target interventions. TB disease prevalence surveys are no longer cost-effective in monitoring epidemiological trends as countries target TB elimination, while passive surveillance methodologies such as c…

  • Perceived gender equitable norms and previous tuberculosis testing in Malawi

    Open AccessElizabeth Di Giacomo, Emily S Nightingale et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Substantial evidence demonstrates that men have a higher prevalence of tuberculosis (TB) and decreased use of TB services compared to women. Gender roles and norms contribute to these disparities by influencing social and structural determinants, as well as individual behaviours. In this analysis, we investigated attitudes towards gender equitable norms and TB testing behaviours amongst Malawian men and women participating in a prevalence survey …

  • Potential impact, costs, and benefits of population-wide screening interventions for tuberculosis in Viet Nam

    Open AccessAlvaro Schwalb, Katherine C Horton et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Population-wide screening may accelerate the decline of tuberculosis (TB) incidence, but the optimal screening algorithm and duration must weigh resource considerations. We calibrated a deterministic transmission model to TB epidemiology in Viet Nam. We simulated three population-wide screening algorithms from 2025: sputum nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT, Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra) only; chest radiography (CXR) followed by NAAT; and CXR-only wit…

  • Ending TB means responding to socially produced vulnerabilities of all genders

    Open AccessBeate Ringwald, Amon Ashaba Mwiine et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2023

    Globally and in Africa, tuberculosis (TB) affects more men than women, as masculine norms, behaviours, and practices can increase likelihood of exposure to TB whilst undermining engagement in TB care (1). The WHO Africa region remains particularly affected, accounting for nearly a quarter (23%) of the estimated 10.6 million people who developed TB and close to a third (31%) of the 1.6 million people who died from the disease in 2021 (2), despite …

  • Population benefits of addressing programmatic and social determinants of gender disparities in tuberculosis in Viet Nam

    Open AccessKatherine C Horton, Richard G White et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    High prevalence of infectious tuberculosis among men suggests potential population-wide benefits from addressing programmatic and social determinants of gender disparities. Utilising a sex-stratified compartmental transmission model calibrated to tuberculosis burden estimates for Viet Nam, we modelled interventions to increase active case finding, to reduce tobacco smoking, and to reduce alcohol consumption by 2025 in line with national and globa…

  • Missing men with tuberculosis

    Open AccessJeremiah Chikovore, Madhukar Pai et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    Tuberculosis (TB) is treatable but is the leading infectious cause of death worldwide, with men over-represented in some key aspects of the disease burden. Men’s TB epidemiological scenario occurs within a wider public health and historical context, including their prior sidelining in health discussions. Differences are however noticeable in how some Western countries and high TB and HIV burden low and middle-income countries (LMIC) including in …

  • Perspectives on the Role of Patient-Centered Medical Homes in HIV Care

    Gregory Pappas, Yujiang Jia et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2014Cited by: 4References: 20

    To strengthen the quality of HIV care and achieve improved clinical outcomes, payers, providers, and policymakers should encourage the use of patient-centered medical homes (PCMHs), building on the Ryan White CARE Act Program established in the 1990s. The rationale for a PCMH with HIV-specific expertise is rooted in clinical complexity, HIV’s social context, and ongoing gaps in HIV care. Existing Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program clinicians are prime c…
