Social networking sites (SNS) have become the contemporary platform of choice for advertising, promoting, sponsoring, boosting and expanding tobacco marketing. A youth-led campaign was conducted to (i) identify and collate violations of tobacco advertisement, promotion, and sponsorship on SNS; and (ii) undertake content analysis of the collated violations. After a series of capacity-building webinars aimed at empowering youths, they were tasked with collating posts (photos and videos) that showcased the promotion and sale of tobacco products online. Additionally, the youth identified relevant hashtags used to promote tobacco. The youth identified 748 posts (photos and videos) on SNS where tobacco was being promoted. Most of these posts (84.7%) promoted the ‘smoking form’ of tobacco. Renowned celebrities and influencers with massive followership actively endorsed tobacco products. The youth identified 148 pages that were involved in selling tobacco online. Instagram (62.7%) accounted for the majority, followed by Facebook (23.7%). The most commonly available forms of tobacco in these online stores were ‘smoked forms’ (73.5%). In their efforts, the youth collated 1412 hashtags related to tobacco promotion. The most commonly reported hashtags were #smoking and #hookah. The maximum numbers of tobacco posts were for #vape (296 million) and #smoke (218 million). There is an urgent need to revise Section 5 of “The Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products (Prohibition of Advertisement and Regulation of Trade and Commerce, Production, Supply, and Distribution) Act, 2003” to broaden the coverage of tobacco advertising, promotion, and sponsorship (TAPS) prohibition on all internet-based platforms including SNS to protect Indian youth.
社交网站(SNS)已成为广告、促销、赞助、助推和扩大烟草营销的当代首选平台。开展了一项由青年主导的活动,目的是(i) 识别和整理 SNS 上的烟草广告、促销和赞助违规行为;(ii) 对整理出的违规行为进行内容分析。在一系列旨在增强青年能力的能力建设网络研讨会之后,他们的任务是整理展示烟草产品在线促销和销售的帖子(照片和视频)。此外,青年们还确定了用于推广烟草的相关标签。青年们在 SNS 上找到了 748 个宣传烟草的帖子(照片和视频)。其中大部分帖子(84.7%)宣传的是 "吸烟形式 "的烟草。拥有大量粉丝的知名人士和有影响力的人物积极为烟草产品代言。青少年发现有 148 个页面涉及在线销售烟草。Instagram(62.7%)占大多数,其次是Facebook(23.7%)。在这些网店中,最常见的烟草形式是 "烟熏形式"(73.5%)。在他们的努力下,年轻人整理出了 1412 个与烟草促销相关的标签。最常见的标签是 #smoking 和 #hookah。烟草帖子最多的是#vape(2.96 亿)和#smoke(2.18 亿)。亟需修订《2003 年香烟和其他烟草制品(禁止广告和规范贸易和商业、生产、供应和分销)法》第 5 条,扩大包括 SNS 在内的所有互联网平台的烟草广告、促销和赞助(TAPS)禁令的覆盖范围,以保护印度青少年。

Attention to quality-of-care is increasing in low- and-middle-income countries. Nevertheless, few studies exist on the impact of these approaches to caregiving. This paper presents results on the quality-of-care mothers and neonates receive during labour, childbirth, and early postnatal care, pre-and-post-implementation of the World Health Organization/United Nations Children’s Fund/United Population Fund (WHO/UNICEF/UNFPA) quality improvement interventions. A quasi-experimental study design was used to assess the quality-of-care measures/interventions around childbirth and the immediate postnatal care period; we purposively sampled a high-volume hospital, northeast Namibia. Using the Every Mother Every Newborn (EMEN) childbirth quantitative survey questionnaire, we interviewed (pre=100; post=102) women who delivered prior to their discharge home and observed (pre=53; post=60) different women at admission, of which 19 of 53 and 50 of 60, respectively, progressed to deliver on the same day of data collection. Twenty (pre) and 24 (post) staff, and one facility manager (pre-and-post) were also interviewed. Descriptive statistics were used to present results. Postintervention, we found improvements in most assessed quality-of-care measures/interventions, e.g., thorough drying (94.7-100%), babies placed skin-to-skin with their mothers (89.5-98%) and assessed for resuscitation (69.8-98%) needs. Monitoring labour using partograph remained low (11.3-19.3%). During admission, women’s history taking (75.5-95%), blood pressure (98.1%-100%), urine testing (77.4-93.3%), foetal heart rate (94.3-100%), abdominal (86.8-100%) and vaginal examinations (96.2-100%) all improved. Yet, quality-of-care gaps were identified for labour monitoring, and routine postnatal care. Less 50% of women received counselling on family planning (5.3-42%), postnatal care (5.3-40%), maternal (0-38%) and newborn (0-40%) danger signs. Women’s satisfaction with information on breastfeeding and post-partum care and hygiene was 48-56.9% and 41-43.0% respectively. This is the first study in Namibia to assess pre-and-post implementation of quality-of-care practices around childbirth, and postnatal period. Inconsistency and noteworthy quality-of-care gaps exist in the early postnatal care period. Postnatal care management and interpersonal communication skills trainings are likely to improve and sustain high evidence-based care beyond labour and delivery. The poor quality-of-care practices for labour and postnatal care requires further investigation.
在中低收入国家,对护理质量的关注与日俱增。然而,有关这些护理方法的影响的研究却很少。本文介绍了世界卫生组织/联合国儿童基金会/联合国人口基金(WHO/UNICEF/UNFPA)质量改进干预措施实施前后,母亲和新生儿在分娩、生产和产后早期护理过程中获得的护理质量。我们采用了准实验研究设计来评估围绕分娩和产后护理期的护理质量措施/干预;我们有目的地在纳米比亚东北部的一家大医院取样。我们使用 "每个母亲每个新生儿"(EMEN)分娩定量调查问卷,对出院回家前分娩的产妇进行了访谈(访谈前=100;访谈后=102),并对入院时的不同产妇进行了观察(访谈前=53;访谈后=60),其中 53 名产妇中的 19 名和 60 名产妇中的 50 名分别在数据收集当天进行了分娩。此外,还对 20 名(入院前)和 24 名(入院后)工作人员以及一名设施管理人员(入院前和入院后)进行了访谈。我们使用了描述性统计来呈现结果。干预后,我们发现大多数评估的护理质量措施/干预措施都有所改善,例如彻底擦干(94.7%-100%)、婴儿与母亲肌肤接触(89.5%-98%)和复苏需求评估(69.8%-98%)。使用分 娩图监测分娩的比例仍然很低(11.3%-19.3%)。入院期间,产妇的病史采集(75.5%-95%)、血压(98.1%-100%)、尿检(77.4%-93.3%)、胎心率(94.3%-100%)、腹部检查(86.8%-100%)和阴道检查(96.2%-100%)均有所改善。然而,在产程监测和常规产后护理方面仍存在护理质量差距。接受计划生育(5.3-42%)、产后护理(5.3-40%)、孕产妇(0-38%)和新生儿(0-40%)危险信号咨询的妇女不到 50%。妇女对母乳喂养和产后护理及卫生信息的满意度分别为 48-56.9% 和 41-43.0%。这是纳米比亚首次对分娩和产后护理质量实施前后进行评估的研究。产后早期护理存在不一致和值得注意的护理质量差距。产后护理管理和人际沟通技能培训有可能改善和维持分娩和接生后的高循证护理。产程和产后护理质量差的问题需要进一步调查。

Small but stable low birth weight (LBW) neonates have needs similar to babies of normal weight with the need for extra support with feeding and temperature maintenance. Most health facilities admit such infants in the neonatal unit leading to the separation of the mother and baby. This separation exposes the infant to a potentially contaminated environment of the Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) which is hazardous for stable infants (Invasive interventions, Intravenous alimentation, Infections) and also hampers the establishment of breastfeeding. This study evaluated short-term outcomes of stable neonates weighing 1500-2000 grams at birth cared for in the mother-baby unit in the same room. as their mothers as per the ‘Zero-separation Policy’. Neonates born vaginally with a birth weight of 1500-2000 grams with stable vitals were moved with their mothers to a 12-bed ’’mother-baby unit (MBU)“. Mothers were counseled regarding breastfeeding (BF), Kangaroo mother care (KMC), maintenance of general hygiene, and identification of danger signs. Infants developing moderate to severe hypothermia, hypoglycemia, feed intolerance (FI), jaundice nearing exchange transfusion range, respiratory difficulty, sepsis, seizures, or apnea, were moved to a neonatal unit for further management. Over 3 years, 489 neonates with a mean (± SD) birth weight of 1738 ± 102 grams and median gestation of 34 weeks (range: 32-41 weeks) were cared for with their mothers at the MBU. Seventy percent of infants exclusively received their mother’s own milk on day 1, which increased to more than 95% from day 4 onwards. Similarly, two-thirds of the mothers provided KMC for at least 5-8 hours on day 1, increasing to 85% by day 5. Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia requiring treatment was the most common morbidity (28.8%), most of which was managed at the bedside, followed by hypoglycemia (4.7%). Only 8% of neonates (n= 39/489) required transfer to the neonatal unit, mostly for hypoglycemia and hyperbilirubinemia. No baby developed hypothermia, apnea, FI, seizures, or hemodynamic instability. Successful discharge to home was accomplished in all neonates with no mortality. Zero-separation policy is feasible in clinically stable low-weight or small neonates (of 1500-2000 grams) who can be nurtured with their mothers right from birth, ensuring timely feeding, KMC, and good hygienic practices.
个头小但病情稳定的低出生体重(LBW)新生儿的需求与体重正常的婴儿类似,需要额外的喂养和体温维持支持。大多数医疗机构都将这些婴儿收治在新生儿病房,导致母婴分离。这种分离使婴儿暴露在新生儿重症监护室(NICU)可能受到污染的环境中,这对病情稳定的婴儿来说是危险的(侵入性干预、静脉注射、感染),同时也阻碍了母乳喂养的建立。根据 "零分离政策",本研究评估了在母婴病房与母亲同室护理的出生时体重为 1500-2000 克的稳定期新生儿的短期疗效。经阴道分娩的新生儿出生时体重为 1500-2000 克,生命体征稳定,与母亲一起被转移到拥有 12 张床位的 "母婴病房 (MBU)"。母亲们接受有关母乳喂养 (BF)、袋鼠妈妈护理 (KMC)、保持一般卫生和识别危险信号的指导。出现中度至重度体温过低、低血糖、喂养不耐受(FI)、黄疸接近换血范围、呼吸困难、脓毒症、抽搐或呼吸暂停的婴儿会被转移到新生儿病房接受进一步治疗。3 年中,有 489 名新生儿与母亲一起在医疗小组接受了护理,这些新生儿的平均(± SD)出生体重为 1738±102 克,中位孕期为 34 周(范围:32-41 周)。第 1 天,70% 的婴儿只喝母亲自己的奶,从第 4 天起,这一比例上升到 95% 以上。同样,三分之二的母亲在第 1 天提供至少 5-8 小时的 KMC,到第 5 天增加到 85%。需要治疗的新生儿高胆红素血症是最常见的发病率(28.8%),其中大部分是在床边处理的,其次是低血糖(4.7%)。只有8%的新生儿(n= 39/489)需要转到新生儿科,主要是因为低血糖和高胆红素血症。没有婴儿出现体温过低、呼吸暂停、FI、癫痫发作或血液动力学不稳定。所有新生儿都顺利出院回家,无一例死亡。对于临床病情稳定的低体重或小体重新生儿(1500-2000 克),零分离政策是可行的,这些新生儿可以从出生起就与母亲在一起,确保及时喂养、KMC 和良好的卫生习惯。

Many governments in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) have difficulties paying healthcare costs upfront leading to high out-of-pocket payments for patients. A Development Impact Bond (DIB) is an innovative financing mechanism in which pr ivate investors provide pre-payment of development program expenses. At the same time, public agencies or donors repay the investor’s investment with a reasonable interest rate if the program succeeds in delivering independently measurable results that are contractually agreed upon. This study assessed quantitatively and qualitatively the feasibility of a DIB for hepatitis C Virus (HCV) diagnosis and treatment in Cameroon. A revolving fund of up to €230,000 was made available by the investor. The outcome payor reimbursed the investor only in case of good performance, defined as cured patients (HCV-RNA negative). HCV carriers who were identified were referred for treatment and tested for cure 12 weeks after completion of treatment, the outcome being validated by an independent assessor. The evaluation was guided by the six-agents model, involving interviews with relevant stakeholders (N= 22). In total, 253 (98%) patients completed treatment, of which 244 (96%) are cured at week 24. We estimated that the average per-patient outcome payment for HCV diagnosis and treatment is €1,542, and the average costs per treated patient is €1,858. The investor was fully repaid, including the agreed interest and bonus. Themes or findings from the interviews confirmed the feasibility of a DIB in a low-resource setting. This study demonstrates that a DIB can be a suitable financing mechanism for HCV services, supporting the path towards elimination. When governments in LMICs do not have sufficient resources to fund such elimination programs upfront, such public-private partnerships can offer a solution.
许多中低收入国家(LMICs)的政府难以预付医疗费用,导致患者需要自付高昂的费用。发展影响债券(DIB)是一种创新的融资机制,由私人投资者预付发展项目的费用。与此同时,如果项目成功交付了合同约定的可独立衡量的成果,公共机构或捐赠者将以合理的利率偿还投资者的投资。本研究从数量和质量上评估了喀麦隆丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)诊断和治疗 DIB 的可行性。投资方提供了高达 23 万欧元的循环基金。结果支付方仅在业绩良好的情况下,即治愈患者(HCV-RNA 阴性)的情况下,才向投资方偿付资金。被确认的 HCV 携带者将被转介接受治疗,并在完成治疗 12 周后接受治愈检测,检测结果由独立评估员进行验证。评估以六代理模式为指导,包括与相关利益方(22 人)的访谈。共有 253 名(98%)患者完成了治疗,其中 244 名(96%)患者在第 24 周时治愈。据我们估算,HCV 诊断和治疗的每位患者的平均疗效费用为 1,542 欧元,每位接受治疗的患者的平均费用为 1,858 欧元。投资人已获得全额回报,包括约定的利息和奖金。访谈的主题或结果证实了在资源匮乏的环境中开展 DIB 的可行性。这项研究表明,DIB 可以成为一种合适的 HCV 服务融资机制,为实现消除 HCV 的目标提供支持。当低收入与中等收入国家的政府没有足够的资源为此类消除计划提供前期资金时,这种公私合作伙伴关系可以提供一种解决方案。

Cervical cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related death among Nepalese women. To this effect, Cancer Care Nepal established an international collaboration to implement a ‘training of trainers’ (TOT) program to expand the reach of cervical cancer prevention techniques. The Nepal cervical cancer prevention program began with an in-person TOT session in Kathmandu in November 2019. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, two additional TOT courses were held in October and November 2021 with virtual support, didactic lectures from international faculty, and a hands-on component by Nepalese faculty. The Nepalese providers underwent training in these courses and then held further training in five collaborating centers across Nepal. Participants completed pre- and post-course knowledge assessments. The trainings were supplemented by the creation of a new Project ECHO® (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) telementoring hub at Cancer Care Nepal. A capstone refresher course was held in November 2022. 42 participants attended the initial TOT course in 2019. The two follow-up TOT courses held in October/November 2021 were two days long and included providers from five participating regions in Nepal. The courses included virtual didactic sessions followed by hands-on stations led by the Nepalese faculty who had participated in the 2019 TOT course. The stations included: visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA), colposcopy, thermal ablation, and loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP). There were 41 participants in the October/November TOT courses. The trainers who received the TOT education then conducted local courses of similar content in each of the five regions for 152 local providers. Participants had improved mean knowledge scores after the training (0.70, 95% CI=0.67-0.72) in comparison to prior to training (0.50, 95% CI=0.47-0.53), p<0.001. The program concluded with a capstone course in November 2022 attended by 26 participants. To date, 11 Project ECHO sessions have been held, with an average of 20 participants per session. Nepal’s cervical cancer prevention program has increased the number of providers trained in cervical cancer prevention techniques. By increasing provider capacity, individuals will have increased access to cervical cancer screening and treatment of pre-invasive disease, hopefully decreasing the burden of cervical cancer in Nepal.
宫颈癌仍然是尼泊尔妇女死于癌症的主要原因。为此,尼泊尔癌症护理组织开展了一项国际合作,实施 "培训员培训"(TOT)计划,以扩大宫颈癌预防技术的覆盖范围。尼泊尔宫颈癌预防计划于 2019 年 11 月在加德满都开展了一次面对面的 TOT 培训。由于 COVID-19 的流行,2021 年 10 月和 11 月又举办了两期 TOT 课程,由国际教师提供虚拟支持、授课,并由尼泊尔教师提供实践部分。尼泊尔提供者在这些课程中接受了培训,然后在尼泊尔各地的五个合作中心接受了进一步培训。学员们完成了课前和课后知识评估。作为对培训的补充,在尼泊尔癌症护理中心设立了一个新的 ECHO® 项目(社区医疗保健成果推广)辅导中心。2022 年 11 月举办了顶点进修课程。42 名学员参加了 2019 年的首期培训员培训课程。2021 年 10 月/11 月举办的两期后续 TOT 课程为期两天,包括来自尼泊尔五个参与地区的医疗服务提供者。课程包括虚拟教学课程,随后是由参加过 2019 年培训与技术指导课程的尼泊尔教师领导的实践站。实践站包括:醋酸肉眼检查 (VIA)、阴道镜检查、热消融术和环形电切术 (LEEP)。共有 41 人参加了 10 月/11 月的 TOT 课程。随后,接受过 TOT 教育的培训师在五个地区分别为 152 名当地医疗服务提供者举办了内容类似的当地课程。与培训前(0.50,95% CI=0.47-0.53)相比,培训后学员的平均知识得分有所提高(0.70,95% CI=0.67-0.72),P<0.001。该项目于 2022 年 11 月结束,26 名学员参加了顶点课程。迄今为止,"人道项目 "已举办了 11 期培训班,平均每期有 20 人参加。尼泊尔的宫颈癌预防计划增加了接受宫颈癌预防技术培训的医疗服务提供者的数量。通过提高服务提供者的能力,个人将有更多机会接受宫颈癌筛查和浸润前疾病的治疗,有望减轻尼泊尔的宫颈癌负担。

Background Elimination of catastrophic costs due to tuberculosis (TB) is one of the three targets of the World Health Organization (WHO) End TB Strategy. Limited data have yet been reported on the costs experienced by households of children receiving TB services. We quantified the economic impact on households with children seeking and receiving TB services during the Catalyzing Pediatric TB Innovations (CaP-TB) project in Cameroon and Kenya. Methods Within the INPUT stepped-wedge cluster-randomised study evaluating the effect of CaP-TB integration of TB services in paediatric entry points, we designed a cross-sectional facility-based survey with retrospective data collection using a standardised questionnaire adapted from the WHO Global taskforce on TB patient cost generic survey instrument. Caregivers of children receiving TB services (screening, diagnosis and treatment of drug-sensitive TB) during the CaP-TB project were interviewed between November 2020 and June 2021. Direct medical, direct non-medical, and indirect costs for TB services were analysed following WHO Global taskforce recommendations. We used the human capital and output-based approaches to estimating income loss. All costs are presented in 2021 US dollars. Results A total of 56 caregivers representing their households (Cameroon, 26, and Kenya, 30) were interviewed. The median household costs for TB services, estimated using the human capital approach, were $255 (IQR; $130-631) in Cameroon and $120 ($65-236) in Kenya. The main cost drivers across both countries were direct non-medical costs (transportation and food), 52%; and medical costs, 34%. Approximately 50% of households reported experiencing dissavings (taking a loan, or selling an asset) to deal with costs related to TB disease. Using a threshold of 20% of annual household income, 50% (95%CI; 37-63%) of households experienced catastrophic costs when using the human capital approach; (46% (95%CI; 29-65%) in Cameroon and 53% (95%CI; 36-70%) in Kenya). Estimated costs and incidence of catastrophic costs increased when using the output-based approach in a sensitivity analysis. Conclusions Accessing and receiving TB services for children results in high levels of cost to households, despite the provision of free TB services. Strategies to reduce costs for TB services for children need to address social protection measures or explore decentralisation. Registration: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03862261.
消除结核病造成的灾难性代价是世界卫生组织(世卫组织)终止结核病战略的三个目标之一。关于接受结核病服务的儿童家庭所经历的费用,目前报告的数据有限。在喀麦隆和肯尼亚的催化儿科结核病创新(CaP-TB)项目中,我们量化了对有儿童寻求和接受结核病服务的家庭的经济影响。方法在INPUT楔形聚类随机研究中,评估CaP-TB在儿科入口点整合结核病服务的效果,我们设计了一项基于设施的横断面调查,使用来自世卫组织结核病患者成本通用调查工具的标准化问卷收集回顾性数据。2020年11月至2021年6月期间,对CaP-TB项目期间接受结核病服务(药物敏感性结核病的筛查、诊断和治疗)的儿童护理人员进行了访谈。根据世卫组织全球工作组的建议,分析了结核病服务的直接医疗、直接非医疗和间接费用。我们使用了基于人力资本和产出的方法来估计收入损失。所有费用以2021年美元计算。结果共采访了56名代表其家庭的护理人员(喀麦隆26人,肯尼亚30人)。使用人力资本方法估计的家庭结核病服务费用中位数为255美元(IQR;喀麦隆为130-631美元,肯尼亚为120美元(65-236美元)。两国的主要成本驱动因素是直接非医疗成本(交通和食品),占52%;医疗费用占34%。大约50%的家庭报告说,他们在处理与结核病有关的费用时出现储蓄不足(贷款或出售资产)。使用家庭年收入的20%作为阈值,50% (95%CI;37-63%)的家庭在使用人力资本方法时经历了灾难性成本;(46%(95%可信区间;29% -65%), 53%(95%置信区间;36-70%)在肯尼亚)。当在敏感性分析中使用基于输出的方法时,估计成本和灾难性成本的发生率增加。结论:尽管提供了免费的结核病服务,但儿童获得和接受结核病服务导致家庭成本居高不下。降低儿童结核病服务成本的战略需要解决社会保护措施或探索权力下放问题。注册:https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03862261。

Background Tuberculosis preventive treatment (TPT) in child household contacts is recommended by World Health Organization (WHO) but limited data has been reported on the costs experienced by households with children receiving TPT. Methods We evaluated the economic impact on households with children receiving TPT within a service-delivery model cluster-randomised controlled trial in Cameroon and Uganda. The intervention included community health worker-led home-based child-contact screening, TPT initiation and monitoring, and referral of children with presumptive tuberculosis or side effects, and was compared with each country’s facility-based standard of care (control). We used a retrospective cross-sectional survey adapted from the WHO Global task force on tuberculosis patient cost surveys. All costs were collected between February 2021 and March 2021 and are presented in 2021 US$. Results The median household costs estimated using the human capital approach were higher in the control arm ($62.96 [interquartile range, IQR; $19.78-239.74] in Cameroon and $35.95 [IQR; $29.03-91.26] in Uganda) compared to the intervention arm ($2.73 [IQR; $2.73-14.18] in Cameroon and $4.55 [IQR; $3.03-6.06] in Uganda). Using a threshold of 20% of annual household income, 15% (95%CI; 5-31%) of households in Cameroon and 14% (95%CI; 4-26%) in Uganda experienced catastrophic costs in the control compared to 3% (95%CI; 1- 8%) in Cameroon and 3% (95%CI; 1-8%) in Uganda in the intervention. Using the output-based approach to estimate income losses increased costs by 14-32% in the control and 13-19% in the intervention across the two countries. The proportion of participants experiencing any dissaving was higher in the control, 53% (95%CI; 36-71%) in Cameroon and 50% (95%CI; 31-69%) in Uganda, compared to 18% (95%CI; 10-29%) in Cameroon and 17% (95%CI; 8-28%) in Uganda in the intervention. Conclusions Households with child contacts initiated on TPT under a facility-based model incur significant costs. Community-based interventions help to reduce these costs but do not eliminate catastrophic expenditures. Registration https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03832023.
背景:世界卫生组织(世卫组织)建议对儿童家庭接触者进行结核病预防治疗,但关于有儿童接受结核病预防治疗的家庭所经历的费用的数据报告有限。我们在喀麦隆和乌干达进行了一项服务提供模式集群随机对照试验,评估了对有儿童接受TPT的家庭的经济影响。干预措施包括社区卫生工作者主导的以家庭为基础的儿童接触者筛查,TPT的启动和监测,以及疑似结核病或副作用儿童的转诊,并与每个国家以设施为基础的护理标准(对照)进行比较。我们采用了一项来自世卫组织结核病患者成本调查全球工作组的回顾性横断面调查。所有费用在2021年2月至2021年3月期间收取,并以2021年美元表示。结果使用人力资本法估算的家庭成本中位数在对照组较高,为62.96美元[四分位数范围,IQR;喀麦隆为19.78-239.74美元,35.95美元[IQR;$29.03-91.26]在乌干达)与干预组相比($2.73 [IQR;喀麦隆为2.73-14.18美元,4.55美元[IQR;$3.03-6.06](乌干达)。使用家庭年收入20%的阈值,15%(95%置信区间;5-31%), 14%(95%置信区间;在乌干达,4-26%的人在控制中遭受了灾难性的损失,而这一比例为3%(95%可信区间;1- 8%)和3%(95%置信区间;1-8%)。使用基于产出的方法来估计两国的收入损失,对照组和干预组的成本分别增加了14-32%和13-19%。经历过任何不储蓄的参与者比例在对照组中更高,53% (95%CI;36% -71%), 50%(95%置信区间;31-69%),而18%(95%置信区间;10-29%), 17%(95%置信区间;8-28%)。结论:在以设施为基础的模式下,与儿童接触的家庭产生了巨大的成本。以社区为基础的干预措施有助于减少这些费用,但不能消除灾难性支出。注册https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03832023。

Background The health sector is essential in delivering high-quality nutrition interventions to women and children in low and middle-income countries, and Mozambique is no exception. Still, the quality and readiness of health services to deliver nutritional services have yet to be comprehensively mapped across the country. We assessed the accessibility and readiness of health facilities to deliver maternal and child nutrition services in Mozambique. Methods Using multiple data sources within a geographic information system (GIS) environment, we calculated facility readiness to deliver nutritional services, population access to health facilities, and health facilities ready to deliver nutrition services. Data from Mozambique’s 2018 Service Availability and Readiness Assessment (SARA) was used to calculate readiness scores for each facility in the country. We used geospatial data from the ´WorldPop´ initiative to estimate the proportion of people in Mozambique within 10 kilometers of a ready facility. For each province and the country as a whole, we calculated the proportion of people with access to a ready facility for maternal and child nutrition interventions. Results At the national level, 29.1% and 37.3% of the population were within 10 kilometers of a facility ready to deliver all maternal and child nutrition services, respectively. Pregnancy growth monitoring (73.8%) and vitamin A supplementation (72.4%) were the most available interventions to the population. In contrast, anemia testing/iron supplementation (45.1%) was the least available nutritional intervention. The Center (30.5%) and North (26.9%) regions of Mozambique had much lower coverage than the South region (71.7%) across the maternal and child nutrition interventions. Nampula (14.9%) and Zambézia (17.9%) provinces were the least ready to deliver maternal nutrition services while Nampula (20.4%) and Cabo Delgado (21.2%) provinces were the least ready to deliver nutrition services to children. Conclusions To achieve high coverage of nutrition interventions, facilities need a full suite of commodities and equipment. Currently, too many facilities in Mozambique have only some of these supplies, meaning that only a minority of the children and pregnant women will receive effective nutrition services when they need them. Multi-sectoral efforts, including those outside the health system, are necessary to improve nutrition in Mozambique.
在向低收入和中等收入国家的妇女和儿童提供高质量营养干预措施方面,卫生部门至关重要,莫桑比克也不例外。然而,保健服务提供营养服务的质量和准备情况仍有待在全国范围内全面摸清。我们评估了莫桑比克提供妇幼营养服务的卫生设施的可及性和准备情况。方法利用地理信息系统(GIS)环境中的多个数据源,我们计算了提供营养服务的设施准备情况、获得卫生设施的人口以及提供营养服务的卫生设施准备情况。来自莫桑比克2018年服务可用性和准备情况评估(SARA)的数据用于计算该国每个设施的准备情况得分。我们使用来自“世界流行”倡议的地理空间数据来估计莫桑比克在现成设施10公里范围内的人口比例。对于每个省和整个国家,我们计算了能够获得现成的妇幼营养干预设施的人口比例。结果在全国范围内,分别有29.1%和37.3%的人口可在10公里范围内找到可提供所有妇幼营养服务的机构。妊娠生长监测(73.8%)和补充维生素A(72.4%)是对人群最有效的干预措施。相比之下,贫血检测/补铁(45.1%)是可用性最低的营养干预。莫桑比克中心地区(30.5%)和北部地区(26.9%)在孕产妇和儿童营养干预措施方面的覆盖率远低于南部地区(71.7%)。楠普拉省(14.9%)和赞比亚省(17.9%)最不愿意提供孕产妇营养服务,而楠普拉省(20.4%)和德尔加多角省(21.2%)最不愿意向儿童提供营养服务。为了实现营养干预措施的高覆盖率,设施需要全套商品和设备。目前,莫桑比克的许多设施只有其中的一些供应,这意味着只有少数儿童和孕妇在需要时能得到有效的营养服务。多部门努力,包括卫生系统之外的努力,对于改善莫桑比克的营养是必要的。

Multi-sectoral efforts, including those outside the health system, are necessary to improve nutrition in Mozambique.","PeriodicalId":73759,"journal":{"name":"Journal of global health reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136317178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Background In Nepal, child marriage affects approximately 33% of girls prior to the age of 18, and 8% of girls by the age of 15. The practice has various causes, which include a lack of education, poverty and societal norms. Literature indicates that child marriages have a more significant impact on women’s health because of early pregnancies and the consequences of dropping out of school. This study aims to understand the impact of child marriage on health by exploring the perceptions held by women in Nepal. Understanding the opinions of those most affected is imperative to influence and improve policy. Methods 13 semi-structured interviews occurred in the Kathmandu Valley in May 2019. Participants were selected purposively by the project host who acted as a gatekeeper and further participants were identified via snowballing. The data was analysed thematically. Results The perceived causes of child marriage in Nepal were a lack of school level education, poverty, having numerous siblings, a low social status and societal views. The impacts on health include a high incidence of early pregnancy complications, and the effects of dropping out of school. The mental health of young brides was perceived to be affected by pressures to work in the home, being isolated and being too young for marriage. Factors such as awareness, availability, societal pressures and independence affected the health-seeking behaviours of child brides. The participants highlighted that raising awareness, reaching out rurally, and educating and employing women would tackle the problem. Conclusions Many of the themes discussed agreed with the existing literature. The effect of dropping out of school and the impact of child marriage on mental health have not yet been explored qualitatively. Factors that affect health-seeking agree with the limited research available, indicating a need to make services more accessible.
在尼泊尔,大约33%的18岁以下女童和8%的15岁以下女童受到童婚的影响。这种做法有多种原因,包括缺乏教育、贫困和社会规范。文献表明,由于早孕和辍学的后果,童婚对妇女健康的影响更大。本研究旨在通过探讨尼泊尔妇女对童婚的看法,了解童婚对健康的影响。了解受影响最严重人群的意见是影响和改善政策的必要条件。方法2019年5月在加德满都谷地进行了13次半结构化访谈。参与者是由项目主持人作为把关人有目的地选择的,进一步的参与者是通过滚雪球来确定的。对数据进行了专题分析。结果尼泊尔发生童婚的主要原因是受教育程度低、贫困、兄弟姐妹多、社会地位低和社会观念。对健康的影响包括妊娠早期并发症的高发以及辍学的影响。人们认为,年轻新娘的心理健康受到家庭工作压力、被孤立和年龄太小而不能结婚的影响。认识、可获得性、社会压力和独立性等因素影响了童养媳寻求保健的行为。与会者强调,提高认识、接触农村、教育和雇用妇女将解决这一问题。结论讨论的许多主题与现有文献一致。辍学和童婚对心理健康的影响尚未进行定性探讨。影响求医的因素与现有有限的研究结果一致,表明有必要使服务更容易获得。

Biomedical HIV research is growing in West Africa, but biostatistical expertise is lagging. The Vanderbilt-Nigeria Biostatistics Training Program (VN-BioStat) seeks to establish a research and training platform for biostatisticians doing HIV-related research in Nigeria. The objectives of the program are: (i) Host two Nigerian data scientists per year (a total of 10 over 5 years) at Vanderbilt University Medical Center to gain hands-on biostatistics training and experience via one-year fellowships. Eligible trainees will be junior investigators with PhDs or nearing completion of their PhDs in statistics or related fields, including mathematics and computer science. (ii) Conduct annual workshops in Nigeria to provide biostatistics training. Trainees will undertake biostatistics coursework and hands-on training and participate in mentorship as biostatisticians involved in HIV research. Trainees will be at Vanderbilt for a full year and be part of an active biostatistics department. They will be immersed in a dry-lab HIV biostatistics project in collaboration with a Nigerian HIV research project and lead a methodologically focused research project. They will also participate in a one-month research training/grant writing program in Nashville. The VN-BioStat program will build on the existing momentum of ongoing initiatives to enhance research capacity in Nigeria by developing biostatistics leadership. VN-BioStat trainees will interact with investigators from Nigeria to provide collaborative biostatistical assistance with study design and data analysis, thus gaining real-world experience that will benefit the trainees and the broader research community in Nigeria.
西非的艾滋病毒生物医学研究正在增长,但是生物统计专业知识却落后了。范德比尔特-尼日利亚生物统计培训计划(VN-BioStat)旨在为尼日利亚从事艾滋病毒相关研究的生物统计学家建立一个研究和培训平台。该计划的目标是:(i)每年在范德比尔特大学医学中心(Vanderbilt University Medical Center)接待两名尼日利亚数据科学家(5年共10人),通过为期一年的奖学金获得实际的生物统计学培训和经验。合格的学员将是在统计学或相关领域(包括数学和计算机科学)拥有博士学位或接近完成博士学位的初级研究人员。每年在尼日利亚举办讲习班,提供生物统计学培训。学员将参加生物统计学课程和实践培训,并作为参与艾滋病毒研究的生物统计学家参加指导。受训者将在范德比尔特大学学习一整年,并成为活跃的生物统计部门的一员。他们将与尼日利亚的一个艾滋病毒研究项目合作,参与一个干实验室艾滋病毒生物统计学项目,并领导一个以方法为重点的研究项目。他们还将在纳什维尔参加一个为期一个月的研究培训/拨款写作项目。VN-BioStat计划将利用正在开展的倡议的现有势头,通过培养生物统计学领导能力来提高尼日利亚的研究能力。VN-BioStat的学员将与尼日利亚的研究人员互动,在研究设计和数据分析方面提供合作性的生物统计学援助,从而获得现实世界的经验,这将使学员和尼日利亚更广泛的研究界受益。
