    Outcomes of compulsory detention compared to community-based voluntary methadone maintenance treatment in Vietnam

    This research finds conclusive evidence that methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) is more costeffective than center-based compulsory treatment (CCT) in reducing heroin use, blood-borne virus risk behaviors, drug-related illegal behaviors and monthly drug spending. The authors recommend that policymakers consider allocation of resources for MMT treatment a higher priority and scale down CCT models.

    A research utilisation framework for informing global health and development policies and programmes

    This paper describes a simple, four-phase framework to guide global health and development efforts that seek to apply evidence to policies and programs. Application of this framework offers the potential to improve policy and programs by increasing the likelihood that research results will be relevant, well-documented, easily communicated and understood, scalable and built upon existing systems.

    Interventions to improve antiretroviral therapy adherence among adolescents in low- and middle-income countries: A systematic review of the literature

    Findings from this systematic literature review indicate that current evidence on strategies to improve adherence to antiretroviral therapy among adolescents is both sparse and lacking in quality. Further, no intervention strategies targeting adults stood out strongly as warranting adaptation and testing for adolescents. Task shifting and community-based adherence support were the most promising strategies that could be adapted to target adolescents.
