Implementation Science to Respond to the Covid-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to expand globally, requiring massive public health responses from national and local governments. These bodies have taken heterogeneous approaches to their responses, including when and how to introduce and enforce evidence-based interventions-such as social distancing, hand-washing, personal protective equipment (PPE), and testing. In this commentary, we reflect on opportunities for implementation science to cont…
Are long-lasting insecticide-treated bednets and water filters cost-effective tools for delaying HIV disease progression in Kenya
BACKGROUND: Co-infection with malaria and other infectious diseases has been shown to increase viral load and accelerate HIV disease progression. A recent study in Kenya demonstrated that providing long-lasting insecticide-treated bednets (LLIN) and water filters (WF) to HIV-positive adults with CD4 >350 cells/mm(3) significantly reduced HIV progression. DESIGN: We conducted a cost analysis to estimate the potential net financial savings gained b…
