Spatiotemporal trends in and challenges of addressing tuberculosis in Brazil before and after the Covid-19 pandemic, 2001–2023
Objective. To identify spatiotemporal patterns and clusters of tuberculosis (TB) in Brazil between 2001 and 2023, assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on TB trends, and provide recommendations for targeted interventions. Methods. This ecological study analyzed secondary data from Brazil’s Notifiable Diseases Information System (known as SINAN), which covers all confirmed TB cases during the study period. Three main indicators were analyzed:…
Using the Adapt guidance to culturally adapt a brief intervention to reduce alcohol use among injury patients in Tanzania
Harmful alcohol use is a leading risk factor for injury-related death and disability in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Brief negotiational interventions (BNIs) in emergency departments (EDs) effectively reduce alcohol intake and re-injury rates. However, most BNIs are developed in high-income countries, with limited evidence of their effectiveness in LMICs. To address this gap, we culturally adapted a BNI for alcohol-related injury pat…
The older the injured, the worse the outcomes
The number of older adults (>60 years) in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is expected to double by 2050. This demographic shift has led to a rise in traumatic injuries among this population, with one in ten trauma patients in Tanzania being an older adult. Yet, geriatric specialization remains largely absent in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), including Tanzania. To inform strategies for optimizing care in this vulnerable group, we conduct…
