Description
Mucunguzi Atukunda and a team of co-authors tested peer groups as a drug supply path in rural Uganda. Their study, from twenty twenty-six, deals with adults who live with both HIV and high blood pressure. Poor drug access drives weak blood pressure control in this group. Patient led peer groups have been put forth to fix that gap. The team checked if the groups are workable and welcome.
From late twenty twenty-two to spring twenty twenty-three, they surveyed patients at twenty-six health sites. They also took blood pressure reads on the spot. Readers who run HIV care in low resource areas learn if peers can carry drug access. The work joins two chronic ills in one community based fix.
