  • Theory-Informed Design of a Tailored Strategy for Implementing Household TB Contact Investigation in Uganda

    Open AccessJ Lucian Davis, Irene Ayakaka et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    Since 2012, the World Health Organization has recommended household contact investigation as an evidence-based intervention to find and treat individuals with active tuberculosis (TB), the most common infectious cause of death worldwide after COVID-19. Unfortunately, uptake of this recommendation has been suboptimal in low- and middle-income countries, where the majority of affected individuals reside, and little is known about how to effectively…

Data were transcribed, coded and summarised into analytical memos. Men were depict…

  • Implementation, interrupted

    Open AccessRachel Hennein, Joseph Ggita et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2021

    Many implementation efforts experience interruptions, especially in settings with developing health systems. Approaches for evaluating interruptions are needed to inform re-implementation strategies. We sought to devise an approach for evaluating interruptions by exploring the sustainability of a programme that implemented diabetes mellitus (DM) screening within tuberculosis clinics in Uganda in 2017. In 2019, we conducted nine interviews with cl…

  • Experiences and intentions of Ugandan household tuberculosis contacts receiving test results via text message

    Open AccessJoseph Ggita, Joseph M Ggita et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    Household contacts experienced relief when they received results. However, they were less confident about results delivered via SMS than results delivered by LHWs. Delivery of results by SMS should complement continued interaction with LHWs, not replace them
