  • The HIV basic care package

    Suzanne Penfold, Victoria Simms et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2014

    An evidence-based basic care package (BCP) of seven interventions (Family testing, Cotrimoxazole, Condoms, Multivitamins, Access to safe water treatment, Isoniazid preventive therapy (IPT), and Insecticide-treated bednet) has been advocated to prevent infections among people with HIV in low-income settings. We examined the availability and receipt of the BCP in HIV outpatient clinics in Kenya and Uganda. A survey of 120 PEPFAR-funded facilities d…

  • The presence of CD4 counts for the management of HIV patients in East Africa

    R Harding, Victoria Simms et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2014

    New WHO guidance stipulates six-monthly CD4 testing and treatment initiation at CD4 less than 350. This study aimed to determine the presence of CD4 results in patient records across five care facilities in Kenya, and to identify factors associated with the presence of CD4 count. This is a cross-sectional study of consecutive outpatients. Participants completed self-reported outcomes of demographics, and both physical and mental health dimensions…

  • The reliability of a newborn foot length measurement tool used by community volunteers to identify low birth weight or premature babies born at home in southern Tanzania

    Open AccessTanya Marchant, Suzanne Penfold et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    The newborn foot length tool used by community volunteers to identify small babies born at home was moderately reliable in southern Tanzania where a large number of births occur at home and scales are not available. Newborn foot length is not the best anthropometric proxy for birthweight but was simple to implement at home in the first days of life when the risk of newborn death is highest

  • Multi-centred mixed-methods Pepfar HIV care & support public health evaluation

    Open AccessR Harding, Victoria Simms et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2010

    This novel mixed methods protocol will permit transparent presentation of subsequent dataset results publication, and offers a substantive model of protocol design to measure and integrate key activities and outcomes that underpin a public health approach to disease management in a low-income setting

  • Measuring newborn foot length to identify small babies in need of extra care

    Open AccessTanya Marchant, Jennie Jaribu et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2010

    Measurement of newborn foot length for home births in resource poor settings has the potential to be used by birth attendants, community volunteers or parents as a screening tool to identify low birth weight or premature newborns in order that they can receive targeted interventions for improved survival

  • Joined-up Working

    Kate Philip, J Shucksmith et al.ARTICLEJournal of Youth Studies2006Citada por: 1

    This paper builds on debates about the meaning and definition of social exclusion through an empirical analysis undertaken as part of a four-year evaluation study of a Scottish demonstration project on young peoples’ sexual health. It examines how interventions to improve sexual well-being might be construed as a way of promoting social inclusion, and then explores to what extent the organisation of bureaucratic relations in an intervention chara…
