Integrating Health Systems and Science to Respond to Covid-19 in a Model District of Rural Madagascar
There are many outstanding questions about how to control the global COVID-19 pandemic. The information void has been especially stark in the World Health Organization Africa Region, which has low per capita reported cases, low testing rates, low access to therapeutic drugs, and has the longest wait for vaccines. As with all disease, the central challenge in responding to COVID-19 is that it requires integrating complex health systems that incorp…
Geographic barriers to establishing a successful hospital referral system in rural Madagascar
BACKGROUND: The provision of emergency and hospital care has become an integral part of the global vision for universal health coverage. To strengthen secondary care systems, we need to accurately understand the time necessary for populations to reach a hospital. The goal of this study was to develop methods that accurately estimate referral and prehospital time for rural districts in low and middle-income countries. We used these estimates to as…
Depression, adherence and attrition from care in HIV-infected adults receiving antiretroviral therapy
BACKGROUND: A better understanding of the relationship between depression and HIV-related outcomes, particularly as it relates to adherence to treatment, is critical to guide effective support and treatment of individuals with HIV and depression. We examined whether depression was associated with attrition from care in a cohort of 610 HIV-infected adults in rural Rwanda and whether this relationship was mediated through suboptimal adherence to tr…
Community-Based Accompaniment and Psychosocial Health Outcomes in HIV-Infected Adults in Rwanda
Reliability and construct validity of three health-related self-report scales in HIV-positive adults in rural Rwanda
Depression, low health-related quality of life, and low perceived social support have been shown to predict poor health outcomes, including HIV-related outcomes. Mental health morbidity and HIV are important public health concerns in Rwanda, where approximately half of the current population is estimated to have survived the genocide and 3% is living with HIV. We examined the reliability and construct validity of the Hopkins Symptom Checklist-15 …
