Résumé : |
Background. Recent epidemics have imposed existential threats to societies given their potential to spread rapidly at an international and global level. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are useful to the field of epidemiology as it provides a framework to manage spatial data, and opens new ways to investigate health outcomes. The utilization of community assets to engage its members for public health surveillance is not new but it has recently gained interest. This review aims to assess the influence of GIS as a technological tool to implement participatory methodologies for the development of infectious disease Community-Based Surveillance (CBS)interventions in low resources settings.
Methods. This scoping review analysed the role of GIS in the development of CBS systems to tackle infectious diseases in low-resource settings. A dual methodology was developed involving an initial systematic literature review and a second phase of interviews with experts. For the literature review and interviews, an analytical framework was developed to facilitate the data extracting process and analysis. Results. 25 documents were selected and analysed in the literature review process. The documents were published since 2007 and involved a variety of publications like research papers book chapters, study protocols, and technical guidelines. The review showed experiences from Africa, South and Southeast Asia, and South America. GIS in CBS systems mainly focused on vector-borne diseases, although other diseases included were COVID-19, Buruli ulcer (BU), HIV,and Ebola. The interviews were conducted to six GIS and infectious diseases experts, who reflected on the integration between GIS and CBS based on their implementation and or research background. Conclusion. GIS supported CBS initiatives should be encouraged and strengthened in lowresource settings in order to improve their infectious disease detection capacity. These systems also highlight the main reflection points to give vulnerable communities the voice they deserve, at the same time that advocates to help reduce the inequality that hinders vulnerable communities to effectively prepare and respond to epidemics, especially in low-resource settings. |
