Kumahuswa has high levels of HIV/AIDS, and, as stated above, was the site of an HIV-prevention intervention which made no impact on the behaviour or sexual health of local residents compared to a matched control community.
Other studies have confirmed this mortality advantage when compared with community matched control subjects [ 9, 47].
Poisson random-intercept regression measured the average total change since the official SC accreditation for the three communities combined and compared them to three matched control sites.
Includes a matched control group.
3, 6, 7 To characterize the geographically defined population of children 0 59 months of age that would serve as the catchment area for the GEMS SHCs, and the sampling frame for random selection of matched controls from the community, each site maintained an active demographic surveillance system (DSS).
Here, we studied NK cell activation and function in Ugandans with chronic untreated HIV-1 subtype D infection in comparison to uninfected community matched controls.

The implementation will be mediated using a community-based approach using observational study with community-based matched controls.
"The biggest differences between CAFO-exposed communities and matched controls are found in quality-of-life measures," he says of his findings.
