“…One of the most obvious examples is access to antiretroviral therapy; some advances have been made but with unequal distribution 8 . For example, 90% of the people who need antiretroviral therapy, the majority of whom live in Sub-Saharan Africa, do not receive it 1,9 .…”

Antiretroviral therapy contributes to decreasing morbidity and mortality, and ultimately to increasing survival. In Brazil, there are regional differences in HIV epidemiology regarding pregnant women and children with HIV/AIDS. This study evaluates survival time after AIDS diagnosis in 914 children infected by mother-to-child transmission, reported between 1983 and 1998 and followed until 2002, in Brazil's five regions. Time between birth and HIV diagnosis decreased over the years, mainly in the South and Southeast Regions. There was a significant improvement in survival; more than 75% of cases were still living four years after diagnosis in the 1997-1998 group. This Brazilian study demonstrates that even with regional inequalities in health care infrastructure it is possible for a developing country to establish an effective system of universal and free access to antiretroviral therapy that produces a significant increase in survival for children with AIDS.

“…Strengthening community conditions requires supporting capacity building in communities to create social capital, social cohesion, and social networks for increased resources and a stronger sense of both community and culture (Berkman & Glass, 2000;Mignone, 2003;Surkan, O'Donnell, Berkman, & Peterson, 2009). Social capital, social cohesion, and social networks are associated with health outcomes such as maternal health and child nutrition, stress, cardiovascular disease, obesity, reproductive health and sexually transmitted diseases, mental health, and health behaviors (Ferlander, 2007;Giordano & Lindstrom, 2010;Kawachi & Berkman, 2000;Lindsay, Sussner, Greaney, & Peterson, 2009;Mignone & O'Neil, 2005;Poortinga, 2006;Poundstone et al, 2004;Teufel-Shone, 2006). Social participation has also been linked to empowerment, which-through specific interventions with patients, youth, people with HIV/AIDs or other conditions, or in poor communities, for example-has contributed to improved health outcomes (Wallerstein, 2006;Wiggins, Hughes, Rodriguez, Potter, & Rios-Campos, 2014).…”

The Healthy Native Communities Fellowship (HNCF) is a grassroots evidence-based mentorship and leadership program that develops the skills and community-building capacities of leaders and community teams to improve health status through several intermediate social and cultural mechanisms: (a) strengthening social participation (also known as social capital or cohesion); (b) strengthening cultural connectedness and revitalization of cultural identity; and (c) advocating for health-enhancing policies, practices, and programs that strengthen systems of prevention and care, as well as address the structural social determinants of health. This leadership program uses a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach and participatory evaluation to investigate how the work of local American Indian and Alaska Native leaders (fellows) and their community coalitions contributes to individual, family, and community level health outcomes.
