HIV Case finding in Zambia Open Doors Project
No full textThe USAID Open Doors project is funded by the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief through the United Stated Agency for International Development (USAID). The ODP is the largest KP project in Zambia and is implemented by FHI 360 and the Zambia Health Education and Communications Trust (ZHECT), a local nongovernmental organization, in collaboration with several KP-led civil society organizations (CSOs). The project works in 8 high HIV burden districts (prevalence range 6.9%-16.1%).
The project routinely collects data on clients receiving HIV testing services. The data included here are of program participants 16 years and older who sought HTS from the October 1, 2017–March 31, 2019
OPTIONS: Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Survey with Providers of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis - Zimbabwe
No full textThese data are from a cross-sectional survey conducted among healthcare providers providing oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) services and healthcare providers who would be providing oral PrEP services in the near future in Zimbabwe. The study was conducted in 26 health facilities in 5 provinces of Zimbabwe in early 2018. The dataset includes information on providers’ familiarity and knowledge of PrEP and their attitudes and beliefs towards PrEP delivery to target populations, specifically adolescent girls and young women.
The participating health facilities were selected using a multi-stage approach: first, 5 of 10 provinces were selected randomly. Sites with at least 50 ART clients in those provinces were stratified by province and level of facility, and then probability proportionate to size was used to select sites in each strata for a total of 26 sites. The facility sampling frame included public and private facilities at central, provincial, district and primary levels in both urban and rural areas. Within participating facilities, doctors, nurses, counselors, pharmacists, community workers, and facility/program managers were eligible to participate. The 127 participating providers represent a convenience sample of those available on days of interviews.
The objectives of the study were to:
1. Evaluate providers’ familiarity and knowledge of PrEP: effectiveness, safety, side-effects, eligibility criteria, screening, initiation and follow-up requirements, and national HIV guidelines
2. Explore providers’ attitudes and beliefs towards PrEP delivery to target populations, with focus on adolescent girls and young women (AGYW).
3. Explore providers’ views on whether it would be feasible and acceptable to add PrEP delivery to HIV and reproductive health services, based on their experiences delivering those services

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Work Related Musculoskeletal Disorders and Injuries in Sri Lankan Rubber Tappers
No full textBackground: Approximately 30% of Sri Lankans work in the agricultural industry, with the third largest agricultural product being rubber. Rubber tapping involves repetitive and high paced work, static muscle loading, non-neutral body postures, and forceful physical exertion, all potential risk factors for musculoskeletal disorders. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on two plantations near Galle, Sri Lanka to study the risk factors of MSDs and injuries in rubber tappers. Questionnaires were administered to 300 rubber tappers, and an ergonomic analysis using Quick Exposure Check was performed on 90 tappers. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to determine risk factors for MSDs and injuries. Results: 66% of rubber tappers reported experiencing an MSD in the past 12 months. Multivariate analysis revealed that many demographic, work condition, personal and psychosocial factors were associated with MSDs. A total of 594 injuries were experienced in the last 12 months, resulting in tappers missing 1080 days of work. Factors associated with injuries were working an additional job and depression. Conclusions: MSDs and injuries are common among rubber tappers in Sri Lanka. Numerous factors contribute to the high prevalence. These results suggest a need for injury monitoring on plantations. Furthermore, work process modifications should be used to help reduce the number of MSDs and injuries.</p

OPTIONS: Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices Survey with Providers of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis - South Africa
No full textThese data are from the OPTIONS pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) provider knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) survey conducted in South Africa in 2017-2018. This was a mixed methods study, but only quantitative data are available for public use. A quantitative survey was conducted with doctors, nurses, counselors, peer educators, pharmacists, community healthcare workers (CHWs), and program managers, who were involved in the provision of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and HIV testing services but who had not yet been trained in PrEP delivery and had no experience delivering PrEP services. Interviews occurred in 9 public health facilities (3 rural, 3 peri-urban and 3 urban) that were purposively selected from districts prioritized by the SHE campaign. Within selected facilities, providers were selected purposively, by selecting up to 3 who were available for an interview during the period of data collection. The study goal was to explore healthcare providers’ views regarding the PrEP implementation and the provision of oral PrEP to adolescent girls & young women (AGYW) and other key populations. The study was designed to meet the following objectives: 1. Evaluate providers’ knowledge of PrEP: effectiveness, safety, eligibility criteria, screening and follow-up requirements 2. Explore providers’ attitudes and beliefs about PrEP and delivering PrEP that could affect their delivery of PrEP to AGYW and other key populations 3. Explore providers’ views on whether it would be feasible and acceptable to add PrEP delivery to HIV and reproductive health services, based on their experiences delivering those services. Survey questions include the following domains: demographic characteristics, job characteristics, knowledge about PrEP, perceptions of providing PrEP different populations, and perceptions on providing PrEP to adolescent girls and young women
