Role of Community-Level Factors Across the Treatment Cascade: A Critical Review

This review – the first critical review of literature that examines the role community-level factors (CLFs) play in the design of multilevel, effective and sustainable interventions that address all elements of the HIV/AIDS treatment cascade – identified 100 peer-reviewed articles based on studies in LMICs that assessed CLFs in relation to the HIV/AIDS treatment cascade.

This article was part of a special issue of JAIDS: Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes that was devoted to health communication and its role in and impact on HIV prevention and care. The authors in this special issue addressed many separate topics in order to introduce a wider biomedical audience to core health communication principles, strategies and evidence of effectiveness.

This article was first published on August 15, 2014, in Volume 66, Supplement 3 of JAIDS.
