A content analysis of global and national policies, plans, and guidelines to integrate NCDs with HIV care in LMICs
The growing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) among people living with HIV (PWH) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), threatens gains in life expectancy. Global organizations have called for integrating NCD management into existing HIV care systems, but it is unclear what actions countries are taking to accomplish this goal. To bridge this knowledge gap, we conducted a quantitative content analysis of HIV policy documents from th…
Strategies to integrate non-communicable disease interventions in HIV and tuberculosis care contexts in low- and middle-income countries
INTRODUCTION: Integration of management of tuberculosis (TB) and HIV with prevention and treatment of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is a global priority. However, delivering the full spectrum of HIV/TB and NCD services is hindered by a lack of evidence regarding effective models and strategies for integrating NCDs and HIV/TB care services in varying contexts and across interventions. We conducted a scoping review to describe service delivery m…
An educational intervention improves HIV competence of secondary school staff in Uganda
HIV competence, encompassing knowledge, skills, attitudes, and practices to prevent, manage, and reduce HIV impact, is critical for meeting young people's HIV prevention and care needs. This study evaluated the effect of the Community of Practice on HIV (CoP-HIV) educational intervention on staff HIV competence and prevention knowledge in Ugandan schools, where HIV prevalence is rising among youth. Using a stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial, …
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 …
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…
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
Biomedicalization and the Practice of Culture
Over the last twenty years, type 2 diabetes skyrocketed to the forefront of global public health concern. In this book, Mari Armstrong-Hough examines the rise in and response to the disease in two societies: the United States and Japan. Both societies have faced rising rates of diabetes, but their social and biomedical responses to its ascendance have diverged. To explain the emergence of these distinctive strategies, Armstrong-Hough argues that …
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 …
