Abstract
Impact of Ebola on loss to follow-up of HIV-infected soldiers and their dependents in Sierra Leone
Highlights
UNAIDS noted that the recent Ebola outbreak was disruptive to HIV/AIDS care, citing fear of health facilities and closure of some HIV clinics during the epidemic
We investigated the impact of the Ebola outbreak on the loss to follow-up of HIV-infected soldiers and their dependents receiving care through the Republic of Sierra Leone Armed Forces (RSLAF) Medical Unit
Preliminary Findings: Patients receiving care at the RSLAF HIV clinic were between 9-63 years old, with 2.3% under 18 years old and 72.2% between 25-44 years old
Summary
The prevalence of obesity has increased globally over the last several decades, notably in middle income countries (MICs). MIC governments are considering a tax on sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) as a way to address this challenge. Interest in this policy option has spurred new studies on the effectiveness of the tax in the MIC context. There is a need to evaluate the tax’s effectiveness in the MIC context to inform policy decisions
