  • Caregiver attitudes towards HIV testing and contraceptive services for adolescents in Tanzania

    Katalia Alexander, David Gitagno et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2026

    Adolescents are disproportionately vulnerable to unintended pregnancies and delayed HIV treatment in low-resource settings. Tanzanian policies support adolescent access to contraception and HIV testing and counseling (HTC) without parental consent if needed; however, parent/guardian disapproval could lead to unmet service needs. This qualitative study explores factors that influence caregivers’ attitudes towards adolescents accessing these servic…

  • Visual acuity problems, access to care, and related academic performance among primary school students in Tanzania

    Michael Maizel, Arisa Shichijo et al.ARTICLEVulnerable Children and Youth…2026References: 1

    Adolescents in lower-resource countries face a high burden of eye health problems. This study in Tanzania aimed to 1) estimate the prevalence of distance vision impairment among young adolescents, 2) describe academic performance by distance visual acuity status, and 3) examine facilitators and barriers to school-facilitated vision screenings and receiving eye care. Participants (primary school students in Standard 7) in the intervention arm of t…

  • Impact evaluation of a maternal and neonatal health training intervention in private Ugandan facilities

    Open AccessJoy Noel Baumgartner, John Headley et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2021

    Global and country-specific targets for reductions in maternal and neonatal mortality in low-resource settings will not be achieved without improvements in the quality of care for optimal facility-based obstetric and newborn care. This global call includes the private sector, which is increasingly serving low-resource pregnant women. The primary aim of this study was to estimate the impact of a clinical and management-training programme delivered…

  • Evaluating the effects of organizational and educational interventions on adherence to clinical practice guidelines in a low-resource primary-care setting in Kenya

    Open AccessJoseph R Egger, Kayla Stankevitz et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2017References: 17

    BACKGROUND: Mid-level care providers serve as the backbone of primary care in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa. Despite this, research suggests that the quality and consistency of this care is uneven. This study assessed the degree to which a set of four simple, low-cost interventions could improve adherence to a set of clinical quality measures (CQMs) associated with four common health conditions seen in a resource-constrained primary care setti…

  • Neighborhood clustering of non-communicable diseases

    Open AccessJohn W Stanifer, Joseph R Egger et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016

    The neighborhood clustering was substantial enough to contribute to a design effect for NCD outcomes including hypertension, CKD, obesity, and glucose impairment, and it may also highlight NCD risk factors that vary by setting. These results may help inform the design of future community-based studies or randomized controlled trials examining NCDs in the region particularly those that use cluster-sampling methods

  • Description of a School Nurse Visit Syndromic Surveillance System and Comparison to Emergency Department Visits, New York City

    Elisha L Wilson, Elisha Wilson et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2014References: 23

    Objectives. We compared school nurse visit syndromic surveillance system data to emergency department (ED) visit data for monitoring illness in New York City schoolchildren. Methods. School nurse visit data recorded in an electronic health record system are used to conduct daily surveillance of influenza-like illness, fever–flu, allergy, asthma, diarrhea, and vomiting syndromes. We calculated correlation coefficients to compare the percentage of …

  • Public Health Implications of Rapid Hepatitis C Screening With an Oral Swab for Community-Based Organizations Serving High-Risk Populations

    Ann Drobnik, Caroline Judd et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2011Cited by: 4References: 16

    Objectives. Between April and September of 2009 we evaluated the accuracy of the OraQuick HCV rapid antibody test and assessed its feasibility for use by community-based organizations (CBOs) serving populations at high risk for HCV in New York City. Methods. We compared the results of screening by OraQuick (oral swab) and enzyme immunoassay (EIA; blood draw). We performed ribonucleic acid polymerase chain reaction testing for discordant results. …
