Phase II: In-depth assessment (similar to LEEDS) and information exchange with entire research group. Inform staff of support services, shared equipment, onservation impact, altered techniques or materials. Inquire: needs and concerns Phase III: Follow up Introduction Results Conclusions The World Food Program estimated that the 2013-2016 Ebola epidemic pushed approximately 750,000 additional people into a state of food insecurity in Sierra Leone.1 The devastation of households whose family members had Ebola virus disease (EVD) was substantial and has the potential for long-lasting, socioeconomic sequelae. EVD survivors received some form of social and food support for at least three months.2 Households in which Ebola-infected individuals died received no support, and the decontamination process resulted in destruction of assets (e.g., beds were burned). The impact of living in an Ebola-affected household on food insecurity and quality of life has yet to be studied. We hypothesized that households with an EVD death only are more likely to be food insecure and have a lower quality of life than households with EVD survivors. There were 461 participants enrolled and completed HFIAS. Of these, 231 participants completed the WHOQOL-BREF. Participants had an age of 27.3 on average. The majority were male (58.6%) and about one-third (34.2%) completed primary school. Most were unemployed (62.2%). Nearly half (44.3%) reported being severely food insecure. Two years after the Ebola outbreak, EVD-affected households of survivors have 3.1 and 3.8 times the odds of severe food insecurity than mixed EVD-affected households of survivors and dead (95% CI, 1.21-8.01) and EVD-affected households of dead only (95% CI, 1.29-11.37), adjusting for age, sex, educational level, work and clustering. There were no associations between quality of life and households. Two years after the Ebola outbreak, EVD-affected households with survivors only were at a significantly higher risk of food insecurity than EVD-affected households with dead only or EVD-affected households mixed with survivors and dead. Households of EVD survivors, not only EVD survivors, might benefit from targeted, post-EVD support services, particularly food aid. Qualitative research about EVD-affected households with survivors only is needed to give insight into these results and explain why certain households experience food insecurity. Methods We conducted a community-based, cross-sectional study in Kono District, Sierra Leone, from June to July 2017. Participants who lived in eight selected communities were eligible for enrollment. We enrolled all participants who lived in an EVD-affected or quarantined households during the Ebola outbreak. We also enrolled a random sample of households who did not have an EVD case or were not quarantined. Our outcomes were 9-item Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS) and 20-item World Health Organization Qualify of Life Scale (WHOQOL-BREF).3,4 HFIAS: Participants self-reported food security over a recall period of the past four weeks. Each occurrence question was followed by a frequency question. WHOQOL-BREF: Participants self-reported their physical health-related and mental health-related quality of life over a recall period of the past two weeks. Questions used a Likert scale. Our explanatory variables were type of household during the Ebola outbreak. Participants reported whether the household had an EVD case, how many EVD cases, and the vital status of each EVD case (dead or alive). We collected data on the age, gender, educational level, occupation, study site, and household group. HFIAS was dichotomized as severely vs. not severely food insecure. WHOQOL-HIVBREF was a continuous variable (scale, 20-100). We fit multivariable regression models, using robust generalizing estimating equations, which adjusted for clustering and potential confounders. Future Goals We plan to conduct 30 open-ended interviews among EVD-affected households across the range of EVD outbreaks (dead, alive, and those with a proportion of both). We will use these quantitative and future qualitative data to prepare a mixed-methods paper for publication. Literature Cited 1.
