Double-dose azithromycin mass drug administration, facial cleanliness, and fly control measures for trachoma control in Oromia, Ethiopia (Stronger SAFE): a cluster-randomised controlled trial

Anna Last, Oumer Shafi Abdurahman, Katie Greenland, Ailie Robinson et autres

BACKGROUND: Trachoma is caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. WHO recommends the SAFE strategy for trachoma elimination: surgery for trichiasis (S), antibiotics (A), facial cleanliness (F), and environmental improvement (E). Multiple rounds of SAFE implementation have proven insufficient to eliminate trachoma in …

Evaluation of a face-washing behaviour change intervention for trachoma prevention in Oromia, Ethiopia (Stronger SAFE): secondary outcomes of a cluster-randomised controlled trial

Katie Greenland, Edao Sinba Etu, Claire Collin, Oumer Shafi Abdurahman et autres

BACKGROUND: Facial cleanliness is a key component of the current strategy to interrupt transmission of Chlamydia trachomatis and achieve trachoma elimination but robust evidence to support its use is scarce. We aimed to evaluate the effect of a community-based, enhanced face-washing intervention …

Evaluation of fluorometholone as adjunctive medical therapy for trachomatous trichiasis surgery (FLAME): a parallel, double-blind, randomised controlled field trial in the Jimma Zone, Ethiopia

John H. Kempen, Aida Abashawl, Ahlam Awad Mohammed, Sarity Dodson et autres

BACKGROUND: In trachoma, trachomatous trichiasis mediates visual impairment. Trachomatous trichiasis surgery has an unacceptably high relapse incidence. We hypothesised that anti-inflammatory therapy with fluorometholone 0·1% suspension (hereafter fluorometholone) eyedrops perioperatively twice daily for 28 days would safely, efficaciously, and cost-effectively reduce postoperative …

Outcomes of posterior lamellar tarsal rotation vs bilamellar tarsal rotation for trachomatous trichiasis

John H. Kempen, Yineng Chen, Aida Abashawl, Ahlam Awad Mohammed et autres

BACKGROUND: Trachomatous trichiasis (TT) surgery is a key strategy for avoiding blindness and visual impairment from trachoma. We compared alternative WHO-endorsed TT surgery techniques, hypothesizing that in a "real world" study posterior lamellar tarsal rotation (PLTR) would be associated with less postoperative …

Translating Formative Research into Intervention Content: Experiences with Face Washing for Trachoma Control in Rural Ethiopia

Claire Collin, Adam Biran, Alexandra Czerniewska, Demitu Legesse et autres

Face washing for trachoma, like most public health improvements, necessitates behaviour change, yet traditional educational interventions frequently fail to achieve this goal. Behavioural science frameworks offer guidance to develop alternative types of interventions, helping to translate formative research and insights about the …
