  • Community-led strategies for communicable disease prevention and management in low- and middle- income countries

    Open AccessPitchaya Indravudh, Kathleen McGee et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Control of infectious diseases is a global health priority and a target of the 2015-2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Community participation is fundamental to advancing primary health care and meeting SDGs. We conducted a mixed-methods systematic literature review of quantitative and qualitative evidence to understand the health, social, and economic impact of community-led strategies for communicable disease prevention and management i…

  • Uncertainty in tuberculosis clinical decision-making

    Open AccessFrancesca Wanda Basile, Stuart Sweeney et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Tuberculosis is a major infectious disease worldwide, but currently available diagnostics have suboptimal accuracy, particularly in patients unable to expectorate, and are often unavailable at the point-of-care in resource-limited settings. Test/treatment decision are, therefore, often made on clinical grounds. We hypothesized that contextual factors beyond disease probability may influence clinical decisions about when to test and when to treat …

  • Understanding mechanisms of impact from community-led delivery of HIV self-testing

    Open AccessPitchaya Indravudh, Fern Terris-Prestholt et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Community HIV strategies are important for early diagnosis and treatment, with new self-care technologies expanding the types of services that can be led by communities. We evaluated mechanisms underlying the impact of community-led delivery of HIV self-testing (HIVST) using mediation analysis. We conducted a cluster-randomised trial allocating 30 group village heads and their catchment areas to the community-led HIVST intervention in addition to…

  • ART initiations following community-based distribution of HIV self-tests

    Open AccessMelissa Neuman, Katherine Fielding et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    INTRODUCTION: Measuring linkage after community-based testing, particularly HIV self-testing (HIVST), is challenging. Here, we use data from studies of community-based HIVST distribution, conducted within the STAR Initiative, to assess initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) and factors driving differences in linkage rates. METHODS: Five STAR studies evaluated HIVST implementation in Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe. New ART initiations during the …

  • Effect of door-to-door distribution of HIV self-testing kits on HIV testing and antiretroviral therapy initiation

    Open AccessPitchaya Indravudh, Katherine Fielding et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    INTRODUCTION: Reaching high coverage of HIV testing remains essential for HIV diagnosis, treatment and prevention. We evaluated the effectiveness and safety of door-to-door distribution of HIV self-testing (HIVST) kits in rural Malawi. METHODS: This cluster randomised trial, conducted between September 2016 and January 2018, used restricted 1:1 randomisation to allocate 22 health facilities and their defined areas to door-to-door HIVST alongside …

  • Pragmatic economic evaluation of community-led delivery of HIV self-testing in Malawi

    Open AccessPitchaya Indravudh, Katherine Fielding et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    INTRODUCTION: Community-based strategies can extend coverage of HIV testing and diagnose HIV at earlier stages of infection but can be costly to implement. We evaluated the costs and effects of community-led delivery of HIV self-testing (HIVST) in Mangochi District, Malawi. METHODS: This economic evaluation was based within a pragmatic cluster-randomised trial of 30 group village heads and their catchment areas comparing the community-led HIVST i…

  • Costs of accessing HIV testing services among rural Malawi communities

    Open AccessLinda Sande, Hendramoorthy Maheswaran et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2018

    HIV testing is free in Malawi, but users may still incur costs that can deter or delay them accessing these services. We sought to identify and quantify these costs among HIV testing service clients in Malawi. We asked residents of communities participating in a cluster randomised trial investigating the impact of HIV self-testing about their past HIV testing experiences and the direct non-medical and indirect costs incurred to access HIV testing…

  • The effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of community-based lay distribution of HIV self-tests in increasing uptake of HIV testing among adults in rural Malawi and rural and peri-urban Zambia

    Open AccessMelissa Neuman, Pitchaya Indravudh et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

  • On the Margins

    Sanjula Weerasinghe, Abbie Taylor et al.ARTICLEJournal on Migration and Human…2015

    Today, perhaps more than ever, humanitarian crises permeate the lives of millions, triggering increased human movement and repeatedly testing the international community’s capacity to respond. Stakeholders within the international community have recognized that existing legal and institutional frameworks for protecting forced migrants are inadequate to address the diversity of movements and needs. This article examines the situation of noncitizen…
