Background and Aims: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) account for 61% of deaths in India. This review focuses on Community Health Workers’ (CHW) effectiveness in preventing and managing NCDs in India which could help direct future research and government policy. Methods: A search of PubMed, Ovid, Embase and CINAHL using terms related to “community health workers” and “India” was used to find articles that quantitatively measured the effect of CHW delivered interventions on NCD risk and health outcomes. Results: CHW interventions are associated with improved health outcomes, metabolic parameters, and lifestyle risk factors in diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and oral cancer. Current literature on CHW interventions for NCDs in India is limited in number of studies and the scope of NCDs covered. Conclusion: There is weak to moderate evidence that CHWs can improve NCD health outcomes in India.

Non Communicable Disease

The burden of chronic, non-communicable disease such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer is growing in many developing countries including Kenya. The use of community health workers is an important tool to improve the access to care and education in rural areas. This study aims to understand the knowledge and perceptions among the general population regarding three chronic diseases – diabetes, hypertension, and cancer – in Nyeri, Kenya. Standardized, open-ended interviews were conducted with 200 participants. This study shows that most individuals interviewed are familiar with these three diseases; however, knowledge varied among individuals with many having significant gaps in knowledge. These results are consistent with previous studies from this region and will inform future education directed at community health workers and the general population.

ABSTRACT Background: Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) is the leading cause of death worldwide and a serious threat to health in low and middle income countries. This can be prevented by early detection and monitoring of NCDs risk factors. This study aimed to investigate the contextual effect of the integrated health post on the use of non- communicable disease screening service. Subjects and Method: A cross sectional study was carried out at 25 integrated health posts (posbindu) in Kapuas Hulu, West Kalimantan, Indonesia, from August to October 2019. A sample of 200 study subjects was selected by fixed disease sampling. The dependent variable was the use of NCD screening service. The independent variables were subjective norm, health information, family support, cadre support, health beha-vior, health status, attitude, and intention. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by a multiple multilevel logistic regression run on Stata 13. Results: The use of NCD screening service increased with supportive subjective norm (b= o.88; 95% CI= 0.01 to 1.75; p= 0.045), high health information exposure (b= 1.10; 95% CI= 0.18 to 2.02; p= 0.019), strong family support (b= 0.94; 95% CI= 0.05 to 1.83; p= 0.037), strong cadre support (b= 0.87; 95% CI= 0.01 to 1.73; p= 0.047), health behavior (b= 1.39; 95% CI= 0.49 to 2.30; p= 0.002), had NCD (b= 1.30; 95% CI= 0.19 to 2.41; p= 0.021), positive attitude (b= 0.98; 95% CI= 0.12 to 1.84; p= 0.025), and strong intention (b= 1.14; 95% CI= 0.26 to 2.01; p= 0.010). Posbindu had negligible contextual effect on the use of NCD screening service with intra-class correlation (ICC)= 7.1%. Conclusion: The use of NCD screening service increases with supportive subjective norm, high health information exposure, strong family support, strong cadre support, health behavior, had NCD, positive attitude, and strong intention. Posbindu has negligible contextual effect on the use of NCD screening service. Keywords: non-communicable disease, screening service, integrated health post Correspondence: Riza Firdaus.
