What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

Elizabeth L. Corbett focuses on Tuberculosis, Internal medicine, Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, Immunology and Sputum. Her work carried out in the field of Tuberculosis brings together such families of science as Surgery, Epidemiology, Incidence and Pediatrics. Her study in Incidence is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Demography and Environmental health.

Her Demography study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Prevalence and Confidence interval. Her Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Transmission, Public health and Family medicine. The Sputum study combines topics in areas such as Gastroenterology, Chronic cough, Tuberculosis diagnosis, Prospective cohort study and Cohort.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Tuberculosis (68.58%)
  • Internal medicine (36.61%)
  • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (33.61%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Tuberculosis (68.58%)
  • Internal medicine (36.61%)
  • Demography (16.67%)

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

Tuberculosis, Internal medicine, Demography, Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and Hiv testing are her primary areas of study. Her Tuberculosis study incorporates themes from Psychological intervention, Prospective cohort study and Cohort study. Her research integrates issues of Antibiotics, Antibiotic resistance and Drug resistance in her study of Internal medicine.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Incidence, Fast track and Confidence interval in addition to Demography. The various areas that Elizabeth L. Corbett examines in her Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome study include Adverse effect and Public health. Her study explores the link between Sputum and topics such as Tuberculosis diagnosis that cross with problems in Infection control.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • HIV self-testing: breaking the barriers to uptake of testing among men and adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa, experiences from STAR demonstration projects in Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe. (47 citations)
  • HIV self-testing: breaking the barriers to uptake of testing among men and adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa, experiences from STAR demonstration projects in Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe. (47 citations)
  • HIV self-testing alone or with additional interventions, including financial incentives, and linkage to care or prevention among male partners of antenatal care clinic attendees in Malawi: An adaptive multi-arm, multi-stage cluster randomised trial. (40 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome

Elizabeth L. Corbett spends much of her time researching Tuberculosis, Demography, Public health, Internal medicine and Outreach. Her Tuberculosis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Poverty, Cohort and Community health workers. Elizabeth L. Corbett interconnects Emergency medicine and GeneXpert MTB/RIF, Sputum, Tuberculosis diagnosis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the investigation of issues within Cohort.

Demography is closely attributed to Interquartile range in her work. Elizabeth L. Corbett has researched Public health in several fields, including Stigma and Family medicine. Her Family medicine research incorporates themes from Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and Serodiscordant.
