Welcome to Resources in Integrated Care (RIIC)
for Morbidity Management and Disability
Prevention (4MMDP)
RIIC-4MMDP is a free, open access, online "self-archiving" repository dedicated to sharing best practices, lessons
learned, and exploring new strategies for MMDP with the wider MMDP community. The primary goal is to aid countries
as they build capacity for planning, implementing, monitoring and evaluating MMDP activities. As acknowledged by
others in the fight against disabling diseases, the most important tool for achieving goals in disease control efforts is
knowledge promoting its enhancement, sharing and utilization (Koporc 2013). Disease control efforts are
enhanced when integrated with MMDP activities (Cantey, Rout et al. 2010).
To achieve its goal, RIIC-4MMDP hopes to centralize all MMDP content with a custom interface that makes it easy to
find what you need and to navigate through it (every word in each document is searchable). In addition to published
research, content includes contributions developed by National Ministries of Health and Education and practical field
materials produced by NGOs and their technical consultants, materials that are not easily accessible and searchable by
other means.
Cantey, P., J. Rout, et al. (2010). "Increasing compliance with mass drug administration programs for lymphatic filariasis in India through
education and lymphedema management programs." PLoS Negl Trop Dis 4(6): e728.
Koporc, K. (2013). Building on Strong Foundations: CWWâs First Eight Years, and the Way Forward. Quarterly Dose, Children Without
Worms: Partnership for Treating and Preventing Intestinal Worms.
Features
Centralized MMDP resources eliminating the need to search for MMDP materials across disease-specific websites
Centralized important but hard-to-find and little published "grey" literature
Enhanced discoverability and visibility of content: refereed and non-refereed articles, guidelines, reports, news,
events notices, conference/workshop proceedings, published and unpublished materials, and multimedia
(graphics, PowerPoint, video, audio, etc.)
Permanent preservation of content
Rapid dissemination through social networking tools like Facebook/Twitter, RSS feeds, email alerts
Links to existing websites whenever possible
Evidence-based support and ongoing research for decision-making by program managers, health workers, and
scholars alike
Free, direct contributions to the repository by the MMDP community for both peer-reviewed and non-peer-
reviewed materials*
*Content experts are used for editorial review, control, and to assure quality, relevance, and usability.
