Evaluating the acceptability, feasibility, and implementation fidelity of a multipurpose mobile health (mHealth) app used for Tuberculosis (TB) contact tracing by Ward-Based Outreach Teams (WBOTs) in …
Mobile health (mHealth) technologies are increasingly used to support community-based healthcare. However, their real-world impact often remains unclear. Understanding implementation factors is essential for advancing their use and achieving meaningful health outcomes. We evaluated an mHealth tool (AitaHealth) after customising its modules and workflows for household Tuberculosis (TB) contact tracing and other community-based data collection by c…
Performance evaluation of the Molbio diagnostics Truenat MTB Ultima/Covid-19 multiplex assay for TB and Covid-19 case detection among people with symptoms suggestive of tuberculosis—a study protocol f…
Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health problem globally, as reflected in persistently high morbidity and mortality rates. Current control efforts have been further complicated by the ongoing SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic. Rapid molecular diagnostics remain crucial to identifying the millions of people with undiagnosed TB. Objectives: The study aimed to determine the diagnostic accuracy of Truenat MTB Ultima/COVID-19 for the …
Acceptability of using the medication monitor and experience of a differentiated care approach for TB treatment adherence among people living with TB in South Africa
Background The introduction of digital adherence technologies (DATs) such as medication monitors in tuberculosis (TB) programmes supports treatment adherence among people with tuberculosis (PWTB). We evaluated the acceptability of using medication monitors (Wisepill evriMED) prompting a stepwise differentiated care approach (DCA), involving short message service (SMS), phone calls, home visits and motivational counselling, among PWTB in South Afr…
A qualitative exploration into the presence of TB stigmatization across three districts in South Africa
TB stigma contributes to suboptimal case finding and care at the community level in South Africa. Interventions to combat stigma, such as community and individual education campaigns on TB treatment and transmission as well as the training of health care workers on stigma and stigmatization are needed to prevent discrimination and protect patient confidentiality
Smoking behaviour, tobacco sales and tobacco advertising at 40 ‘Smoke Free Hospitals’ in Vietnam
Implementation of current smoke-free hospital regulations remains incomplete, with widespread evidence of smoking observed at three levels of the Vietnamese healthcare facilities. Further interventions are required to establish the reputation of Vietnamese healthcare facilities as smoke-free environments
Standardised patient study to assess tuberculosis case detection within the private pharmacy sector in Vietnam
BACKGROUND: Of the estimated 10 million people affected by (TB) each year, one-third are never diagnosed. Delayed case detection within the private healthcare sector has been identified as a particular problem in some settings, leading to considerable morbidity, mortality and community transmission. Using unannounced standardised patient (SP) visits to the pharmacies, we aimed to evaluate the performance of private pharmacies in the detection and…
Knock Knock”
HHCs are supportive of HHCT and felt empowered by receiving TB education that ultimately allowed them to better understand and care for PLTB. HHCs were supportive of screening children for TB at home. Future HHCT activities should consider raising community awareness on the benefits of TB contact tracing at households
