Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the ability of US HIV care facilities to implement strategies for Ending the HIV Epidemic using survey data from 514 facilities in 2021.
- Findings showed that while many facilities offered critical services like pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis, there were significant gaps in support such as on-site substance use treatment and connection to food and housing resources.
- Overall, while strengths exist in providing some key services, improvements are needed in staff training and support systems for patients to enhance care effectiveness.
Background: Asthma self-management, the involvement of patients or their caregivers in the management of their disease, reduces healthcare visits and costs. We assessed selected asthma self-management practices among a representative sample of children in Georgia to guide statewide asthma control programs.
Methods: A random-digit-dialed telephone survey of 2,121 households with 3,896 children 17 years of age or younger was conducted.
