Female sex worker preferences for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis delivery in Uganda
Cisgender female sex workers (FSWs) in sub-Saharan Africa have a high risk of HIV acquisition, highlighting the need for innovative approaches to expand coverage of evidence-based HIV prevention methods, including oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). Our study aimed to identify FSWs’ preferences for a PrEP delivery model with structured choices for delivery location, services offered, and adherence support. We conducted a discrete choice experim…
Associations among past trauma, post-displacement stressors, and mental health outcomes in Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh
Objective The Rohingya endured intense trauma in Myanmar and continue to experience trauma related to displacement in Bangladesh. We aimed to evaluate the association of post-displacement stressors with mental health outcomes, adjusting for previously experienced trauma, in the Rohingya refugee population in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh. Methods We analyzed data from the Cox's Bazar Panel Survey, a cross sectional survey consisting of 5,020 household …
Self-care and healthcare seeking practices among patients with hypertension and diabetes in rural Uganda
Background Implementing effective self-care practices for non-communicable diseases (NCD) prevents complications and morbidity. However, scanty evidence exists among patients in rural sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). We sought to describe and compare existing self-care practices among patients with hypertension (HTN) and diabetes (DM) in rural Uganda. Methods Between April and August 2019, we executed a cross-sectional investigation involving 385 adult …
A user-centred implementation strategy for tuberculosis contact investigation in Uganda
The trial was registered(ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT05640648) on 16 November 2022, after the trial launch on 7 March 2022
Theory-Informed Design of a Tailored Strategy for Implementing Household TB Contact Investigation in Uganda
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…
Determinants of testing for HIV among young people in Uganda. A nested, explanatory-sequential study
Awareness of HIV serostatus helps individuals calibrate behaviour or link to care. Globally, young people (15-24years) contribute over 30% of new HIV infections. Despite progress in enhancing access to HIV services, HIV testing among young people in Uganda is below target. We determined the prevalence and factors influencing HIV testing among young people in a peri-urban district with the highest proportion of young people. We conducted a nested …
Perceptions, preferences, and experiences of tuberculosis education and counselling among patients and providers in Kampala, Uganda
Tuberculosis (TB) education seeks to increase patient knowledge about TB, while TB counselling seeks to offer tailored advice and support for medication adherence. While universally recommended, little is known about how to provide effective, efficient, patient-centred TB education and counselling (TEC) in low-income, high HIV-TB burden settings. We sought to characterise stakeholder perceptions of TEC in a public, primary care facility in Kampal…
Factors associated with willingness to use oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in a fisher-folk community in peri-urban Kampala, Uganda
Oral PrEP was widely acceptable among members of fishing communities in peri-urban Kampala. Programs for scaling-up PrEP for fisherfolk should merge HIV testing services with sensitization about PrEP and also increase means of awareness of PrEP as an HIV preventive strategy
Implementation, interrupted
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…
An Emerging Syndemic of Smoking and Cardiopulmonary Diseases in People Living with HIV in Africa
We call for a parallel program of implementation research to promote the adoption of evidence-based interventions, which could improve health outcomes for PWH with cardiopulmonary diseases and address the health inequities experienced by PWH in African countries
Experiences and intentions of Ugandan household tuberculosis contacts receiving test results via text message
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
Performing prevention
One distinguishing feature of modernity is a shift from fate to risk as a central explanatory principle for uncertainty and danger. Framing the future in terms of risk creates the possibility – and, increasingly, responsibility – for prevention. This study analyses qualitative data from semi-structured interviews with 20 physicians and 43 members of the general public in Japan during the H1N1 influenza pandemic of 2009 to examine how risk and res…
Origins of Difference
This study examines the emergence and development of mental hygiene professional organizations in Canada and the US by analyzing discursive differences in the publications of two sister committees: the National Committee for Mental Hygiene and the Canadian National Committee for Mental Hygiene. The analysis finds that while mental hygiene in North America initially emerged as a single, shared continental professional discourse, the two movements …
