Temporal changes in programme outcomes among adult patients initiating antiretroviral therapy across South Africa, 2002–2007

TL;DR: Numbers on ART have increased rapidly in South Africa, but the programme has experienced deteriorating patient retention over time, particularly due to apparent LTFU, and new strategies are needed to improve monitoring of outcomes and maximize retention in care with increasing programme size.
Journal ArticleDOI

Social determinants of psychological distress in a nationally-representative sample of South African adults

TL;DR: The increased frequency of recent life events appears to only partially explain higher levels of psychological distress among individuals of lower SES, and additional research is required to understand the temporality of this association as well as mechanisms through which SES and social capital influence mental health in low- and middle-income settings.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal Article
