Measurement of Tuberculosis treatment adherence
Despite extensive conceptual development, the definition and measurement of Tuberculosis (TB) treatment adherence remain inconsistent. This ambiguity obscures what is being assessed and compared across studies. This scoping review examined how adherence is labelled, defined, and operationalised in observational studies of drug-susceptible TB, assessed consistency with contemporary frameworks, and identified methodological gaps. We conducted a sco…
Socioenvironmental Factors in Recovery of People with Substance Use Disorders
The rising demand for substance-related treatments results in a persistent increase in human, social, health, and economic costs that affect not only people but also reverberates across families, communities, and societies. Social environment plays a crucial role in substance use as it influences recovery pathways either by fostering drug-free behaviors or hindering them. This review aims to synthesize existing scientific evidence on the social-e…
Behavior Guidance during the Covid-19 Pandemic
of March 2020. For almost two months, the country was confined due to the declaration of the emergency state. The confinement was always conveyed by the media, who clearly guided citizens toward preventive behaviors and so became a means of fighting this pandemic by helping the country stay home. Several authors recognize the importance of health communication and health literacy in fighting COVID-19. In a public health crisis like this, media ar…
MobiWise
Eco-routing distributes traffic in cities to improve mobility sustainability. The implementation of eco-routing in real-life requires a diverse set of information, including different kinds of sensors. These sensors are often already integrated in city infrastructure, some are technologically outdated, and are often operated by multiple entities. In this work, we provide a use case-oriented system design for an eco-routing service leveraging Inte…
Knowledge and Use of PEP and PrEP Among Key Populations Tested in Community Centers in Portugal
Background: Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) have been increasingly available in Europe. Due to the high burden of HIV in key populations, these could benefit from their use. In 2016, in Portugal, an open, non-interval, prospective cohort study was established in a network of 26 community-based voluntary HIV/STI counseling and testing centers. Data collected included questions on PEP and PrEP knowledge and use. …
