| Abstract |
A rapid results initiative (RRI) aimed at increasing male involvement in prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) and service uptake among pregnant women at 116 antenatal clinics in Western Kenya was compared at baseline, during the RRI, and 3-months post-RRI. Male involvement increased from 7.4 to 54.2% during RRI (risk difference [RD] 0.47, CI 0.45-0.48) then 43.4% post-RRI (RD 0.36, CI 0.35-0.37). Among HIV-infected women, facility delivery increased from 40.0 to 49.9% (RD 0.10, 95% CI 0.06-0.13) and 65.0% post-RRI (RD 0.25, 95% CI 0.22-0.28). HIV-infected pregnant women linkage to HIV care increased from 58.6 to 85.9% (RD 0.27, CI 0.24-0.30) and 97.3% post-RRI (RD 0.39, CI 0.36-0.41). Time to ART initiation reduced from 29 days (interquartile range [IQR] 6-56) to 14 days (IQR 0-28) to 7 days (IQR 0-20). A male-centered RRI can significantly increase men's engagement in antenatal care leading to improved partner utilization of PMTCT and antenatal services. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 June 2019.
All research outputs
#6,439,761
of 23,849,058 outputs
Outputs from AIDS and Behavior
#988
of 3,566 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#108,568
of 330,220 outputs
Outputs of similar age from AIDS and Behavior
#27
of 101 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,849,058 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 72nd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,566 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.0. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 72% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 330,220 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 66% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 101 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its contemporaries.
