Filter by:This is a cross-sectional study that aims to study the prevalence of risk factors of noncommunicable diseases in people aged 18 to 69 years using the standardized and adopted STEPS questionnaire in the Republic of Kazakhstan.
This mixed-methods formative research study aims to adapt the WHO Package of Essential Noncommunicable Disease Interventions (WHO-PEN) approach for the Zambian public health system, and pilot test an adapted, streamlined, and task-shifted package of integrated HIV Noncommunicable Disease (NCD) services, collectively called "TASKPEN".
Hong Kong is facing an increasing threat of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), which is compounded by population aging. In 2016, 25,771 registered deaths (approximately 55%) were attributed to NCDs. In addition, NCDs caused 104,600 potential years of life lost before 70 years of age. WHO has identified four major behavioral risk factors - tobacco use, harmful use of alcohol, an unhealthy diet, and physical inactivity - that contribute substantially to NCDs and can increase the risk of death. Most premature deaths from NCDs are preventable via lifestyle modification. Therefore, helping people adopting healthy lifestyle practices, such as having a balanced diet and engaging in irregular physical activity, and quitting health-risk behaviors, such as smoking and harmful use of alcohol can help prevent NCDs and improve the quality of life and overall health of the population. However, many people are unmotivated or find it difficult to modify their risk behaviors, despite their awareness of the associated health hazards.
It is an observational study in patients with chronic noncommunicable diseases (i.e. cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma ) and control group with no signs of these conditions. The study has a prospective part planned for 2021 and a retrospective part which includes the patients enrolled between 2018-2020. The aim of the study is to investigate gut microbiota composition, its metabolites, levels of inflammatory and other markers of the disease in prospective groups (arterial hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and control patients) as well as in retrospective groups (chronic heart failure with preserved and reduced ejection fraction, obstructive atherosclerosis of any vascular bed, arterial hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and control patients). Also we are planning to investigate the association between gut microbiota composition and its metabolites, levels of inflammatory and other markers of the disease in retrospective and prospective groups.
This study evaluates the effect of two different airtime incentive timings on interactive voice response (IVR) survey cooperation, response, refusal and contact rates, as compared to a control group, in Bangladesh and Uganda.
This study focuses on mechanisms to adapt the performance of interactive voice response (IVR) and computer assisted telephone interviews (CATI) surveys conducted in low-and middle-income (LMIC) setting (Bangladesh) and evaluates how the two survey modalities (IVR and CATI) affect survey metrics, including response, completion and attrition rates.
The objective of the study is to adapt and assess the feasibility, quality, and validity of short message service or 'text message' (SMS), interactive voice response (IVR), and computer assisted telephone interviews (CATI) for collecting information on noncommunicable disease (NCD) risk factors

Non-commercial depersonalized multi-centered registry study on analysis of chronic non-infectious diseases dynamics after SARS-CoV-2 infection in adults.
This study evaluates the effect of one new form of introduction language and three new modes of providing consent on interactive voice response (IVR) survey cooperation, response, refusal and contact rates, as compared to control group, in Colombia and Uganda.
