Lessons from community engagement to improve Covid-19 diagnosis and treatment in Cochabamba, Bolivia
BACKGROUND: Community engagement is recognized as a vital component of health-related research and programs, particularly during infectious disease outbreaks and epidemics. Despite the importance of engaging communities in the response to COVID-19, relatively little research has examined how this was (or was not) achieved, and even less in low- and middle-income countries. This article describes the community engagement that accompanied efforts t…

Multi-Scale Multivariate Models for Small Area Health Survey Data: A Chilean Example
We propose a general approach to the analysis of multivariate health outcome data where geo-coding at different spatial scales is available. We propose multiscale joint models which address the links between individual outcomes and also allow for correlation between areas. The models are highly novel in that they exploit survey data to provide multiscale estimates of the prevalences in small areas for a range of disease outcomes. Results The mode…
Nutritional profile of schoolchildren from different socio-economic levels in Santiago, Chile
Objective To assess the nutritional status, food intake and physical activity patterns in schoolchildren attending 5th and 6th grade in basic schools from different socio-economic levels in the metropolitan region of Santiago. Design Cross-sectional study in children 5th and 6th grade of eighteen basic schools in the metropolitan region of Santiago. Setting Boys and girls aged 9–12 years from basic schools were evaluated in terms of physical capa…
Health impact of Mediterranean diets in food at work
Objective To evaluate the feasibility of diet mediterranisation, in a food-at-work context, and its consequence on metabolic syndrome in a mid-age unselected healthy male population group. Design One-year longitudinal intervention study. Physical exercise was not modified. Setting All workers of the Santiago division of ‘Maestranza Diesel’, a metal-mechanic company servicing the mining industry, were invited to participate. Subjects Initially, 14…
Effects of a dairy product fortified with multiple micronutrients and omega-3 fatty acids on birth weight and gestation duration in pregnant Chilean women
Objective To test the hypothesis that maternal food fortification with omega-3 fatty acids and multiple micronutrients increases birth weight and gestation duration, as primary outcomes. Design Non-blinded, randomised controlled study. Setting Pregnant women received powdered milk during their health check-ups at 19 antenatal clinics and delivered at two maternity hospitals in Santiago, Chile. Subject Pregnant women were assigned to receive regul…
