Decomposing gender gaps in HIV service outcomes
This study uses Population-based HIV Impact Assessments survey data to examine factors associated with gender disparities in HIV outcomes. The analysis examined the share of adult males and females living with HIV who are aware of their status, are on treatment and have achieved viral load suppression across 13 African countries. The study then used the Blinder-Oaxaca statistical method to decompose these gaps into three core elements: (1) the pa…
Assessing the impact of the president’s emergency plan for Aids relief on all-cause mortality
This study estimated the impacts of PEPFAR on all-cause mortality (ACM) rates (deaths per 1,000 population) across PEPFAR recipient countries from 2004–2018. As PEPFAR moves into its 3rd decade, this study supplements the existing literature on PEPFAR ‘s overall effectiveness in saving lives by focusing impact estimates on the important subgroups of countries that received different intensities of aid, and provides estimates of impact for differe…
Equity of the HIV epidemic response in 13 African countries
For over 25 years, new programs to attempt to stem the HIV epidemic have been developed in Africa by country governments as well as external donors. These programs and activities have built and operated facilities, trained clinicians, financed drugs and commodities, supported and helped finance government health planning and operations, and contributed in other ways. Who has benefited from this massive mobilization? While some single country and …
Between a Rock and a Hard Place
BACKGROUND: Gender inequality and poverty exacerbate the burden of HIV/AIDS among women in Africa. AIDS awareness and educational campaigns have been inadequate in many countries and rates of HIV testing and adherence to condom use remains considerably low, especially among married women. We investigate whether higher HIV knowledge is equally effective in lowering risky behaviors among groups of women with different levels of wealth and agency. M…
Modelling the returns on options for improving malaria case management in Ethiopia
BACKGROUND: Diverse opinions have emerged about the best way to scale up malaria interventions. Three controversies seem most important: (1) should the scale-up focus on a broader target of febrile illness (including infectious disease and pneumonia)? (2) should the scale-up feature a single intervention or be targeted to the situation? (3) should scale-up have a preference for one kind of delivery mechanism or another? METHODS: A decision model …
Effects of State Prospective Reimbursement Programs on Hospital Mortality
Prospective reimbursement (PR) programs were implemented in a number of states in the 1970s to reduce the rate of inflation in hospital costs. The associated savings have prompted concern about whether hospital administrators have been able to economize in ways that do not compromise patient care. This study examined the effects of PR on hospital mortality in 15 states. A quasi-experimental design was used to compare the 10-year trend in standard…
Impact of the New York Long-Term Home Health Care Program
The Long-Term Home Health Care Program (LTHHCP), also known as the Nursing Homes Without Walls, is an innovative, comprehensive Medicaid program in New York State that provides nursing home level of care to patients at home. This paper evaluates the performance of the first nine LTHHCP sites over the first 2 years of operation. Across all sites there is clear evidence that the program has been extremely successful in reducing levels of nursing ho…
