We searched five academic databases, the Western Pacific Region Index Medicus, and grey literature up until April 2024. English language publications of ID surveys in American Samoa and Samoa were included. Each study\u2019s aim, design, and prevalence results were extracted and categorised by disease and data sources. We identified 46 publications reporting the prevalence of 15 different IDs; 42 publications (91%) reported data from 31 original surveys, of which three (9%) investigated the prevalence of multiple IDs. Twenty-eight (62%) publications primarily aimed to report prevalence to inform public health interventions. Samples from one survey, initially conducted for leptospirosis, were subsequently tested to confirm transmission, describe prevalence, and investigate risk factors for seven other diseases. We emphasise the valuable contribution of prevalence studies in supporting evidence-based public health interventions. The extensive prevalence studies in the Samoan Islands illustrate the need for adopting integrated multipathogen approaches to surveillance to reduce costs, document burden, and generate actionable insights to support evidence-based decisions to prevent, control, and eliminate infectious diseases.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/tropicalmed10030071","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,10]],"date-time":"2025-03-10T09:36:24Z","timestamp":1741599384000},"page":"71","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Utility of Infectious Disease Prevalence Studies to Inform Public Health Decision-Making in the Samoan Islands: A Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Beatris Mario","family":"Martin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Clinical Research, Faculty of Health, Medicine, and Behavioural Sciences, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, QLD 4006, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alison","family":"Brown","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Clinical Research, Faculty of Health, Medicine, and Behavioural Sciences, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, QLD 4006, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4314-0615","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Filipina","family":"Amosa-Lei Sam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Dunedin School of Medicine, University of Otago, Dunedin 9016, New Zealand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aifili","family":"Tufa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"American Samoa Health Department, Tafuna, Pago Pago, AS 96799, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Luis","family":"Furuya-Kanamori","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Clinical Research, Faculty of Health, Medicine, and Behavioural Sciences, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, QLD 4006, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8288-4169","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Colleen L.","family":"Lau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Clinical Research, Faculty of Health, Medicine, and Behavioural Sciences, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, QLD 4006, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2162","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(24)00933-4","article-title":"Global burden and strength of evidence for 88 risk factors in 204 countries and 811 subnational locations, 1990\u20132021: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021","volume":"403","author":"Brauer","year":"2024","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"113","DOI":"10.1515\/reveh-2014-0028","article-title":"Combating infectious diseases in the Pacific Islands: Sentinel surveillance, environmental health, and geospatial tools","volume":"29","author":"Lau","year":"2014","journal-title":"Rev.
