Understanding barriers to effective malaria diagnosis and treatment
Malaria remains a global health challenge despite decades of intervention. We conducted a mixed-methods study using the MAPPS behavioural science framework to identify and explore behaviours relating to timely access and better adherence to antimalarials, and to offer initial ideas for interventions. Research was conducted in Uganda, Nigeria, and Ivory Coast following local ethical approval. First, qualitative face-to-face interviews were conduct…
Costs and cost-effectiveness of an infection prevention bundle to reduce neonatal sepsis and mortality in Zambia
The Sepsis Prevention in Neonates in Zambia (SPINZ) trial was a prospective observational cohort study conducted in the neonatal intensive care unit of the University Teaching Hospital in Lusaka, Zambia. Introduction of an infection prevention and control (IPC) bundle reduced hospital-associated mortality, total mortality, suspected sepsis, and confirmed bloodstream infections. This companion analysis was undertaken to analyze intervention costs …
Trajectories and predictors of HIV care retention among individuals receiving ART in rural South Africa
Background: Successful retention in care of people living with HIV remains a challenge and a cornerstone of ending the epidemic. A better understanding of retention predictors could guide an evidence-based approach to target interventions. We sought to characterise HIV care retention trajectories among individuals receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) in a rural South Africa setting, and to determine factors associated with those trajectories. M…
Negative clinic experiences as a barrier to care for people with HIV and their impact on patient preferences for intervention support
We conducted qualitative research among people with HIV (PWH) and care providers in Cape Town, South Africa to understand the impact of negative clinic experiences on adherence and support preferences. In-depth interviews were conducted with 41 patients with an unsuppressed viral load or a treatment gap, and focus group discussions with physicians, nurses, counselors, and community health workers. Questions addressed treatment history and adheren…
Estimating the Prevalence of over- and Under-Reporting in HIV Testing, Status and Treatment in Rural Northeast South Africa
Patients’ and Providers’ Views on Optimal Evidence-Based and Scalable Interventions for Individuals at High Risk of HIV Treatment Failure
Real-time Feedback to Improve HIV Treatment Adherence in Pregnant and Postpartum Women in Uganda
We assessed an intervention aimed at improving adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) among pregnant and postpartum women living with HIV (PPWLH). We randomized 133 pregnant women initiating ART in Uganda to receive text reminders generated by real time-enabled electronic monitors and data-informed counseling through 3 months postpartum (PPM3) or standard care. Intention-to-treat analyses found low adherence levels and no intervention impact. …
