EAGLE-HF (Early Assessment and initiation of GuideLine-directed Evidence-based management-HF) is a prospective single site study of a multinational, unblinded, randomized-controlled, longitudinal trial called SYMPHONY. Primary, secondary and exploratory outcomes that are part of SYMPHONY are not described herein as they replicate SYMPHONY outcomes. Data associated with SYMPHONY outcomes will be sent to the SYMPHONY coordinating center. In EAGLE-HF, site investigators will examine if a new-onset heart failure (HF) diagnosis are asscoiated with social determinants of health (6 factors), social vulnerability index and distressed community indices. In addition, for patients diagnosed with HFrEF, prescribing patterns (use of and dose of) core HF medications will be assessed for association with physician practice type and medical provider type. Finally, (among participants in the SYMPHONY Active arm, an optimal NTproBNP cut-point will be assessed for diagnosis of HF based on social determinants of health, social vulnerability index, distressed community index, HF risk factors and medical comorbidities.

Mentor Mothers (MMs) are peer supporters who help pregnant and postpartum women living with HIV (WLHIV) as they receive prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) services in resource-limited settings like Kenya. Differentiated service delivery (DSD) is a care model that tailors services based on clients' needs, helping to improve both the quality and efficiency of care. This hybrid implementation-effectiveness study will test whether an enhanced MM strategy that uses DSD can be successfully carried out and improve health outcomes for mothers and infants. The study will take place at Burnt Forest Sub-District Hospital (BFSDH) in Kenya. Researchers will ask: * Can the enhanced MM strategy be delivered as planned and accepted by patients and staff? * Does the strategy improve clinical outcomes like keeping mothers in PMTCT care, achieving HIV viral suppression, completing infant HIV testing, and preventing HIV transmission to infants? Researchers will compare health outcomes before and after the strategy is introduced at BFSDH, and also compare outcomes at other similar clinics that continue with standard MM services. Women who choose to participate will meet with a MM during their routine antenatal and postnatal clinic visits. They will be offered the enhanced MM support, but can choose to receive standard care if they prefer.
