Proposed Methodologies
Objectives Primary Objective:  Estimate incidence in indigenous communities of:  Water / airborne disease: common diarrheal infection;  intestinal parasitic diseases;  cyclosporidium; leptospirosis respiratory infections ( flu, bronchitis, etc.); neumonia Vector-borne disease:  malaria; dengue; leishmaniasis; yellow fever; arbovirus Skin diseases:  Scabies; miasis; bacterial and fungal diseases Sexually transmitted infections Food-quality Secondary Objective:  Identify individual / behavioural / environmental risk factors associated to problems above.
Cohort Study Implement community based prospective cohort study:  Size: 1,000 approx Length:  3 years Frequency:  Baseline study start of year 1 Additional study end of year1, 2,  and 3 Every three months for water/airborne diseases Will allow to determine seasonal variations
Methods Standardized questionnaire:  Socio-demographic characteristics Health-related knowledge and behaviours Perceived health status Recent Illness Use of health care
Methods Clinical evaluation:  Assess nutritional status General health status Including hypertension Skin lesions Traces of leishmaniasis Febriles
Methods Anthropometrics: Height and weight  Laboratory tests:  Malaria thick smears Leishmaniasis skin test  Yellow fever and Dengue IgG, Glucose test Syphilis treponemic test and hematocrit. Ova and parasites stool analysis
Methods Entomological surveillance:  To be carried out by MoH at study sites  Water quality: With support from MoH Experience and tools to locally test for:  Fecal coliforms Turbidity / conductivity pH parasitology Heavy metal testing must be done in Lima
Ethical Considerations Community approval:  Already obtained from community leaders Approval must be reconfirmed Could result in modification to methodologies Local indigenous coordinator:  To help communicate the process before, during, and after the development of each research protocol
Ethical Considerations Treatments:  Provided by MoH national programs:  Malaria Leishmaniasis Provided by IHACC: Antibiotics Anemia Parasites Syphilis
Ethical Considerations Team members with experience working with indigenous groups:  Dr.  Alejandro Llanos Dr. Patty Garcia Dr. César Cárcamo Dr. Isaac Alva Dr. Carol Zavaleta
Results Dissemination Annual coordination meetings with:  Community representatives:  Chief and project coordinator Indigenous leaders:  National, regional, and local indigenous organizations National authorities:  Regional government and local municipality Ministry of health representative Other local collaborators

  3. Connie – trained at UPCH in a master program in control infectious diseases
  4. SICNA: The Information System on Native Communities in the Peruvian Amazon (Sistema de Información sobre Comunidades Nativas de la Amazonía Peruana, SICNA) is a georeferenced database that contains geographic and tabular information on native communities. The use and dissemination of the SICNA promotes territorial ordering and the defense of the rights of indigenous peoples, allowing for community territories to be titled and protecting indigenous peoples living in voluntary
  5. Primary objective: To estimate the incidence of water/airborne diseases, vector-borne diseases, sexual transmitted infections (STI) and food security-related diseases in indigenous communities of the peruvian amazon region.Secondary objective:To identify individual, behavioural, and environmental risk factors associated to these problems
  6. To implement a community based prospective cohort: Aproximately 1000.Three years: a baseline and three additional measures at the end of year 1 , 2 and 3. In the case of water-airborne diseases, participants will be followe very 3 months, in order to determine seasonal variations
  7. Standardized questionnaire:Sociodemographic characteristics, health-related knowledge and behaviors, perceived health status, recent illnesses, and health care.Clinical evaluation: To assess nutritional status, general health status (including hypertension) and skin lesions (scare of leshmania)
  8. There is not a program of control of Syphilis in those communities, and there some reports f STDs in native communitiesand because globalization this can be an indicator important to study
  9. Local Minister of health has experience doing evaluation of the water quality of the river: microbiological, heavy metals and parasitological messuares
  10. Iterative: We have already gotten permission from leaders of communities, however this could be asked again, It could means some modifications finall in methodologies An indigenous local coordinator will be nominated by each community to “canalizar” el proceso antes , durante y despues del desarrollo de cada protocolo
  11. Treatment for malaria and leshmania will be provided for MoH as part of National ProgramsTreatment for anemia, parasites and syphilis will be provided by IHACC
  12. Dr. Llanos, Dra. Patty Garcia, Dr. Isaac Alva y Dra. Carol Zavaleta, tiene experiencia trabajando con estos y con otros grupos indigenas
