Unpacking ‘irrational’ behaviours
Stewardship of antibiotic medicines will likely play a key role in curtailing the rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) globally. In East Africa, drug sellers are a critical group for interventions because they often dispense without prescription and violate regulations designed to facilitate antibiotic stewardship. Currently, measures to tackle regulatory avoidance are often rooted in individuated cognitive-behavioural approaches that label sel…
Treatment seeking behaviours, antibiotic use and relationships to multi-drug resistance
Antibacterial resistance (ABR) is a major public health threat. An important accelerating factor is treatment-seeking behaviour, including inappropriate antibiotic (AB) use. In many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) this includes taking ABs with and without prescription sourced from various providers, including health facilities and community drug sellers. However, investigations of complex treatment-seeking, AB use and drug resistance in …
Treatment seeking and antibiotic use for urinary tract infection symptoms in the time of Covid-19 in Tanzania and Uganda
Background: There is still little empirical evidence on how the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and associated regulations may have disrupted care-seeking for non-COVID-19 conditions or affected antibiotic behaviours in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We aimed to investigate the differences in treatment-seeking behaviours and antibiotic use for urinary tract infection (UTI)-like symptoms before and during the pandemic at…
Evidence of improving antiretroviral therapy treatment delays
Continued improvements in treatment delays provide evidence that universal access to ART can be achieved using the public health approach adopted by Malawi However, the longer delays for women and patients diagnosed at outlying sites emphasises the need for targeted interventions to support equitable access for these groups
