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…

Older people living with HIV (PLWH) in Georgia experience a high rate of behavioral health disorders, the treatment for which requires an integrated approach. However, these older PLWH experience unmet needs for behavioral health services. We aimed to explore barriers for older PLWH to access behavioral healthcare services in Georgia. In 2024, we conducted 28 in-depth interviews with PLWH aged ≥40 years in four major Georgian cities. Participants…

PLWH face a heightened burden of MH conditions, compounded by systemic and social barriers. In Georgia, these challenges are exacerbated by fragmented healthcare system, centralized HIV care, and limited service integration. Cross-sectional survey was conducted between…

The impact of a participatory intervention to improve learning outcomes and reduce school-based discrimination and community stigma in primary rural schools of Afghanistan
Why Patient-Centered Built Environment Standards Matter More Than Numbers of Beds in Inpatient Psychiatry
This article canvasses extant literature about values, evidence, and standards for inpatient psychiatry units' design. It then analyzes apparent trade-offs between quality of care and access to care using empirical and ethical lenses. From this analysis, the authors conclude that standards for the built environment of inpatient psychiatric care should align with patient-centeredness, even if a downstream consequence of implementing new patient-ce…
Effects of a Tax-Time Savings Experiment on Material and Health Care Hardship among Low-Income Filers
Material and health care hardship is common among households with low incomes and is associated with a host of adverse outcomes but can be mitigated with having savings. The authors assessed the effects of online tax-time savings interventions informed by behavioral economics on hardship among a sample of low- and moderate-income tax filers (N = 4,738). The authors find that filers who received an intervention had a statistically significant, low…
Medicaid Disenrollment Patterns Among Children Coming into Contact with Child Welfare Agencies
Do Tax-Time Savings Deposits Reduce Hardship Among Low-Income Filers? A Propensity Score Analysis
Objective: A lack of emergency savings renders low-income households vulnerable to material hardships resulting from unexpected expenses or loss of income. Having emergency savings helps these households respond to unexpected events, maintain consumption, and avoid high-cost credit products. Because many low-income households receive sizable federal tax refunds, tax time is an opportunity for these households to allocate a portion of refunds to s…

Psychotropic Drug Use Among Preschool Children in the Medicaid Program From 36 States
Objectives. We determined the prevalence of and indications for psychotropic medication among preschool children in Medicaid. Methods.

A Preliminary Analysis of the Receipt of Mental Health Services Consistent With National Standards Among Children in the Child Welfare System
Objectives. We sought to examine the extent to which children in the child welfare system receive mental health care consistent with national standards. Methods. We used data from 4 waves (3 years of follow-up) of the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being, the nation's first longitudinal study of children in the child welfare system, and the Area Resource File to examine rates of screening, assessment, and referral to mental health s…
Effects of Placement Changes on Health Insurance Stability Among a National Sample of Children in the Child Welfare System
Children in the child welfare system have entitlements to health insurance coverage—critical because of their considerable physical and mental health needs—based largely on their placement status. This study conducted path and transitions analyses on data from the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being (3,801 children followed-up for 3 years) to examine the interplay between placement changes and insurance stability. Children maintain…
Longitudinal Patterns of Health Insurance Coverage Among a National Sample of Children in the Child Welfare System
Objectives. We sought to describe health insurance coverage over time among a national sample of children who came into contact with child welfare or child protective services agencies. Methods. We used data from 4 waves of the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being to examine insurance coverage among 2501 youths. Longitudinal insurance trajectories were identified using latent class analyses, a technique used to classify individuals …
