    Effect of self-administration versus provider-administered injection of subcutaneous depot medroxyprogesterone acetate on continuation rates in Malawi: A randomised controlled trial

    The authors found that women who self-administered subcutaneous depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA-SC) led to a more than 50 percent increase in pregnancy protection through 12 months compared with provider-administered injection. The findings demonstrate that self-injection can address the stubborn problem of early contraceptive discontinuation and that community health workers can safely train women to self-inject. Malawi plans to introduce DMPA-SC self-injection based on these positive findings.

    Factors related to incomplete adherence to antiretroviral therapy among adolescents attending three HIV clinics in the Copperbelt, Zambia

    The authors assessed antiretroviral adherence among adolescents in Ndola, Zambia, using two measures: 48-hour treatment gap in prior three months and pharmacy medication possession ratio in prior six months. The findings support strengthening adolescents’ HIV management skills related to alcohol use, family engagement and the challenges adolescents face when transitioning to adulthood, especially when they are no longer in school.

    Evaluating integrated development: Are we asking the right questions? A systematic review

    Integrated development is gaining popularity in global interventions. But, the evaluation of integrated programming has not received much attention. This systematic review indicates that few programs between 2006 and 2016 were intentionally designed to assess the impact of linking two or more development sectors. The review and recommendations will be useful to develop more promising programs.

    Factors associated with non-completion of follow-up: 33-month latent tuberculous infection treatment trial

    Valid clinical trials rely on patients to adhere to treatments and to participate until the end of the study. This secondary analysis of a published tuberculosis prevention study showed that patients at a higher risk of not completing the study were identified by characteristics known at enrollment or shortly thereafter. These findings can help future studies minimize attrition by, for example, restricting the proportion enrolled with high-risk characteristics or increasing sample sizes.
