Tuberculosis prevention in low- and middle-income settings in the Asia-Pacific region, a qualitative scoping review
Tuberculosis (TB) is a leading cause of death globally, with most new TB cases notified in the Asia-Pacific region. We aimed to synthesize qualitative research of TB prevention strategies from the region, summarizing reported barriers to and facilitators of practices, and identifying important gaps and opportunities for future research. A scoping review was conducted using the Arksey and O'Malley framework and includes qualitative studies publish…
Qualitative insights into the acceptability of self-collection for cervical screening amongst under- and never-screened groups in Australia
While self-collection has the potential to expand screening accessibility and may offer individual benefits, increased awareness of its availability and attention to identified barriers are needed to ensure that everyone is given true choice in the way they screen
Tuberculosis treatment and undernutrition on Daru Island, Papua New Guinea
A substantial proportion of people with tuberculosis (TB)-one of the world's deadliest infectious diseases-live in resource-poor, food insecure settings. It is widely recognised that undernutrition significantly heightens vulnerability to TB, as well as contributes to poor treatment adherence and outcomes. However, more attention is needed to understand what shapes food insecurity and undernutrition in a particular setting. We use the concept of …
Gendered knowledge practices and human-animal-ecological health in Papua New Guinea
There have been consistent calls to incorporate gender frameworks into One Health research and policy. Men's and women's roles in relation to animals in many rural and agricultural communities may influence potential pathogen exposure and transmission patterns of zoonotic infectious diseases. However, men's and women's roles related to animals in rural societies are not static but change over time. This article draws on the results of qualitative…
The role and value of counsellors in the treatment journeys of people with tuberculosis and their families
Combined education and counselling can contribute to person-centred care for tuberculosis (TB), improving uptake, adherence, and outcomes of treatment for TB disease and TB infection. Though strongly recommended by the World Health Organization for all people diagnosed with TB, education and counselling is not widely implemented in TB programs around the world. In 2016, a pilot TB education and counselling program, delivered by trained profession…
Stakeholder views on the relationship between human rights and the law in addressing the HIV epidemic in Papua New Guinea
Community activists, policymakers and researchers have long identified human rights as central to addressing the HIV epidemic. Over the past 10 years, efforts to incorporate human rights into the HIV response have focused on reforming laws which criminalise sex work and male-to-male sex. Laws criminalising sex work and male-to-male sex drive communities underground, making HIV prevention, testing, and treatment efforts more difficult. This articl…
Beyond patient delay, navigating structural health system barriers to timely care and treatment in a high burden TB setting in Papua New Guinea
Tuberculosis (TB) is a major public health issue in Papua New Guinea, with incidence rates particularly high in the South Fly District of Western Province. We present three case studies, along with additional vignettes, that were derived from interviews and focus groups carried out between July 2019 and July 2020 of people living in rural areas of the remote South Fly District depicting their challenges accessing timely TB diagnosis and care; mos…
Exploring Tuberculosis Riskscapes in a Papua New Guinean 'Hotspot
This article explores socio-spatial dimensions of risk and how they can enhance understanding of a high burden tuberculosis (TB) context in the South Fly District of Papua New Guinea. We report on select findings from a qualitative study that included 128 semi-structured in-depth interviews and 10 focus group discussions with a wide range of South Fly District community members. Using the conceptual framework of 'riskscapes' to examine emic persp…
Improving access to drug and alcohol treatment in NSW Australia
One of the key issues in the alcohol and other drug (AOD) treatment sector concerns the reported difficulties that clients have in accessing treatment. This paper draws on qualitative interview data collected from clients undergoing treatment (n = 20) and stakeholders (n = 15) of five specialist non-government AOD treatment services in New South Wales, Australia, to offer an in-depth perspective about treatment entry experiences. We identified fo…
Lessons of Survival
This article explores the influence of social networks and social capital on Chin refugee women as they negotiate survival in their country of first asylum, India. Findings indicate that the participants’ social networks were vital for day-to-day survival, but they served as a means for short-term coping, rather than long-term adaptation. This is not to negate the importance of the resources; without the community knowledge, livelihood linkages, …
A Context of Risk
In India, the livelihood spaces that refugee women from Chin State, Burma, have carved for themselves in their country of first asylum remain relatively unexplored. This article focuses on Chin refugee women’s pursuit of liveli- hood in Delhi in 2012–13. The concept of “livelihood” is a starting point to better understand the women’s work experiences and explore the associated risks affecting their well-being. Emerging findings indicate that perv…
