ASSESSING BIAS IN POPULATION SIZE ESTIMATES AMONG HIDDEN POPULATIONS WHEN USING THE SERVICE MULTIPLIER METHOD COMBINED WITH RESPONDENT-DRIVEN SAMPLING SURVEYS: SURVEY STUDY

BackgroundPopulation size estimates (PSEs) for hidden populations at increased risk of HIV, including female sex workers (FSWs), are important to inform public health policy and resource allocation.The service multiplier method (SMM) is commonly used to estimate the sizes of hidden populations.We used this method to obtain PSEs for FSWs at 9 sites

Phenols are major compounds produced by plant species as a peripheral stimulus or as a regulatory defense mechanism under different environmental biotic stresses.These secondary metabolites are generated from shikimic and acetic acid metabolic pathways.The aromatic benzene ring compound plays an important role in plant development, especially Wall

In Vietnam, malaria remains a problem in some remote areas located along its international borders and in the central highlands, partly due to the bionomics of the local vector, mainly found in forested areas and less vulnerable to standard control measures.Long Lasting Insecticidal Hammocks (LLIH), a tailored and user-friendly tool for forest work
