  • Principles and priorities for integrated tuberculosis screening and care

    Open AccessClaire Jacqueline Calderwood, Tenzin Kunor et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Tuberculosis predominates in communities with multiple health and socioeconomic vulnerabilities. Tuberculosis diagnosis presents an opportunity for expanded health services to tuberculosis-affected households. We conducted a modified Delphi process to ascertain if and how expanded services should be offered to people with tuberculosis and their households. Purposively invited panellists were identified through professional networks and included r…

  • Barriers to and facilitators of linkage to care following hypertension and diabetes screening among health workers in Zimbabwe

    Open AccessLeyla Sophie Larsson, Rudo MS Chingono et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    The benefits of screening for any condition are only realised if individuals who screen positive link to care services. We investigated linkage to hypertension and diabetes care by healthcare workers accessing a comprehensive health check service. We also explored facilitators and barriers to linkage to care. Between July 2020 and June 2022, a health check with referral and follow-up was offered to healthcare workers (clients) in Zimbabwe. We aim…

  • Integrated health checks as a person-centred approach to systematic screening of household tuberculosis contacts

    Open AccessClaire Jacqueline Calderwood, Edson Marambire et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Globally, tuberculosis incidence and mortality is driven by syndemic interactions of tuberculosis with other chronic conditions including HIV, diabetes and undernutrition in a deleterious social and structural context, often characterised by poverty. Systematic screening for tuberculosis among household contacts is a core element of the WHO tuberculosis strategy but is hampered in high-tuberculosis incidence settings by health system constraints …

  • Prediction models for Mtb infection among adolescent and adult household contacts in high tuberculosis incidence settings

    Open AccessEdson Marambire, Claire Jacqueline Calderwood et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Tuberculosis household contacts are at high risk of developing tuberculosis. Tuberculosis preventive therapy (TPT) is highly effective, but implementation is hindered by limited accessibility of diagnostic tests aimed at detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( Mtb) infection. Development of Mtb infection prediction models to guide clinical decision-making aims to overcome these challenges. We used data from 1905 tuberculosis household contacts (ag…

  • Person-centered and youth-oriented interventions to improve TB Care for adolescents and young adults

    Open AccessPatricia M Waterous, Rudo MS Chingono et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Introduction Globally adolescents and young adults (AYA) with tuberculosis (TB) face unique challenges. Until recently they have received little attention and few tailored interventions exist. To improve TB outcomes in this population, there is a need to implement tailored interventions. However, limited research has been conducted about how to meet the needs of AYA with tuberculosis. In this paper we present the findings of a qualitative study t…

  • Evaluation of a comprehensive health check offered to frontline health workers in Zimbabwe

    Open AccessEdson Marambire, Rudo MS Chingono et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Health workers are essential for a functioning healthcare system, and their own health is often not addressed. During the COVID-19 pandemic health workers were at high risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection whilst coping with increased healthcare demand. Here we report the development, implementation, and uptake of an integrated health check combining SARS-CoV-2 testing with screening for other communicable and non-communicable diseases for health workers …

  • Prevalence of chronic conditions and multimorbidity among healthcare workers in Zimbabwe

    Open AccessClaire Jacqueline Calderwood, Edson Marambire et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    The burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in southern Africa is expanding and is superimposed on high HIV prevalence. Healthcare workers are a scarce resource; yet are vital to health systems. There are very limited studies on the burden of chronic conditions among healthcare workers in Africa, and none exploring multimorbidity (≥2 chronic conditions). We describe the epidemiology of infectious (HIV) and non-communicable chronic conditions, …

  • Exploring Covid-19 vaccine uptake among healthcare workers in Zimbabwe

    Open AccessTinotenda Taruvinga, Rudo MS Chingono et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    With COVID-19 no longer categorized as a public health emergency of international concern, vaccination strategies and priority groups for vaccination have evolved. Africa Centres for Diseases Prevention and Control proposed the ‘100-100-70%’ strategy which aims to vaccinate all healthcare workers, all vulnerable groups, and 70% of the general population. Understanding whether healthcare workers were reached during previous vaccination campaigns a…
