Stakeholder perceptions of the utility of SNA visuals in strengthening community-based health programmes
Non-communicable diseases [NCDs] are an ever-increasing burden globally. Community-based programmes [CBPs] have been identified as a cost-effective prevention and management strategy of NCDs. However, evidence for scaling up and sustaining CBPs remains limited. This study explores stakeholders’ perceptions of the utility of social network analysis (SNA) visuals, the systematic mapping of actors within a network, a growing but underexplored method…
Social Determinants of Covid‐19 Pandemic Control
INTRODUCTION: As countries adapted their disaster responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, South Africa responded with an alert-level risk approach based on epidemiological principles that impacted all societal levels.

Gaining insight into their perspectives contributes to knowledge that can inf…

The real missing link in Ebola control efforts to date may lie in the failure to apply core principles of health promotion: the early, active and sustained engagement of affected communities, their trusted leaders, networks and lay knowledge, to help inform what local control teams do, and how they may better do it, in partnership with communities. The predominant focus on viral transmission has inadvertently stigmatized and created fear-driven r…

Several interconnected influences related to the healthcare system, wider contextual conditions and patient behavior could increase the potential risk of nosocomial TB transmission at hospital level. There is an urgent need for the implementation and evaluation of a comprehensive contextually appropriate TB IPC policy with the setting and auditing of standards for IPC provision and practice, adequate TB training for both staff and patients, and t…
