  • Lessons from United States school district policies and approaches to special education during the Covid-19 pandemic

    Melissa E Mendoza, Timothy F Brewer et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022

    The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in many school districts in countries around the world transitioning rapidly to partial or complete remote learning. These disruptions affected all children’s education, but students with disabilities (SWDs) were particularly at-risk because of the challenges of providing accessible support and services through remote teaching programmes. We examine the experience of SWDs in 24 United States school districts of inst…

  • What explains gender inequalities in HIV/Aids prevalence in sub-Saharan Africa? Evidence from the demographic and health surveys

    Open AccessDrissa Sia, Yentema Onadja et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016

    The factors that explain gender inequality in HIV/AIDS in SSA vary by country, suggesting that country-specific interventions are needed. Unmeasured factors also contributed substantially to the difference in HIV/AIDS prevalence between women and men, highlighting the need for further study

  • What lies behind gender inequalities in HIV/Aids in sub-Saharan African countries

    Open AccessDrissa Sia, Yentema Onadja et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2014Cited by: 3References: 50

    Within sub-Saharan Africa, women are disproportionately at risk for acquiring and having human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). It is important to clarify whether gender inequalities in HIV prevalence in this region are explained by differences in the distributions of HIV risk factors, differences in the effects of these risk factors or some combination of both. We used an extension of the Blinder-Oaxaca dec…

  • To control and beyond

    Timothy F Brewer, S Jody HeymannARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2004Cited by: 1References: 24

    For 10 years the World Health Organisation has had a single answer to the deadly threat of tuberculosis (TB)—provide treatment to smear positive patients and watch them take it. In contrast with confident statements about how global TB would be brought under control when directly observed therapy, short course (DOTS) was introduced, TB continues to rise worldwide. The introduction of selected multiple drug resistant TB treatment programmes, “DOTS…

  • The influence of program acceptability on the effectiveness of public health policy

    Jody Heymann, S J Heymann et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health1998Cited by: 7References: 7

    OBJECTIVES: This study examined how patient acceptability influences the effectiveness of directly observed therapy for tuberculosis. METHODS: Decision and sensitivity analyses were used in assessing influences. RESULTS: If mandatory directly observed therapy discourages 6% of initial tuberculosis patients (range: 4% to 10%) from seeking care, then such therapy will be less effective than self-administered therapy. Directly observed therapy is mo…
