One of Africa’s leading research centres, the Perinatal HIV Research Unit (PHRU) is situated at the Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital — known locally as ‘Bara’ — in Soweto, Johannesburg. PHRU engages in research, training, policy-formulation and advocacy concerning HIV-positive people and their children. Specifically, PHRU conducts adult, paediatric and adolescent HIV treatment research, HIV prevention research and investigations into tuberculosis and other HIV co-infections. In addition to the numerous pharmaceutical and publicly-funded clinical trials PHRU continues to carry out, the unit also conducts important behavioural and social science research, advocates for research access and provides needed care to the people of Soweto.
To assist in their research, members of trials were given checklist tasks to complete each day, this was a rather cumbersome booklet that they wished to make small and easy to keep with you.
I developed a single page that folded into a credit card sized fold out that included all the information as well as info-graphics to describe the process visually.
