  • Two-way associations between relationship quality and uptake of couples health screening including HIV testing and counselling together

    Open Access•Fatma Abdelkhalek, Phillip Joseph et al.•ARTICLE•AIDS Care•2024

    In the context of a couples cohort established to evaluate an optimised couples-focused behavioural intervention in rural South Africa, we examined: (1) Is couples’ relationship quality (RQ) associated with couples HIV testing and counselling (CHTC) uptake? (2) Does CHTC uptake or the intervention components uptake improve subsequent RQ? Enrolled couples, (n = 218), previously naïve to couples HIV testing, were invited to two group sessions and o…

  • Social Influence and Uptake of Couples HIV Testing and Counselling in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

    Open Access•Matthew Johnson, Matthew J Johnson et al.•ARTICLE•AIDS and Behavior•2021

    Social influences may create a barrier to couples HIV testing and counselling (CHTC) uptake in sub-Saharan Africa. This secondary analysis of data collected in the ‘Uthando Lwethu’ randomised controlled trial used discrete-time survival models to evaluate the association between within-couple average ‘peer support’ score and uptake of CHTC by the end of nine months’ follow-up. Peer support was conceptualised by self-rated strength of agreement wi…

  • Household composition and child health in Botswana

    Open Access•Oleosi Ntshebe, Andrew Amos Channon et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2019

    These findings suggest that policies and programs aimed at reducing stunting and diarrhoea may work best if they target households and other adults co-residing in homes with children besides biological parents. Further, children who live in poorer households deserve special attention

  • A longitudinal population-based analysis of relationship status and mortality in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa 2001–2011

    Open Access•Melanie Channon, Victoria Hosegood et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Epidemiology and…•2016•Referências: 31

    BACKGROUND: Mortality risk is lower in married than in unmarried men and women. However, little is known about the association between mortality and relationship status in South Africa where marriage rates are low, migration is common, many couples are not co-resident and HIV prevalence is high. METHOD: Using demographic surveillance data collected from 2001 to 2011, relationship status was categorised as conjugal (partners belong to the same hou…

  • Obligation to family during times of transition

    Open Access•Lucia Knight, Victoria Hosegood et al.•ARTICLE•AIDS Care•2016•Citada por: 7•Referências: 11

    In rural South Africa, high HIV prevalence has the potential to affect the care and support that kin are able to provide to those living with HIV. Despite this, families seem to be largely resilient and a key source of care and support to family affected by HIV. In this article, we explore the motivations for the provision of care and support by kin. We use the results of a small-scale in-depth qualitative study conducted in 10 households over 6 …

  • Power and the association with relationship quality in South African couples

    Open Access•Amy A Conroy, Nicky Mcgrath et al.•ARTICLE•Social Science & Medicine•2016•Citada por: 9•Referências: 56

    Research and health interventions aiming to improving HIV-related behaviors should consider sources of shared power within couples and potential leverage points for empowerment at the couple level. Efforts solely focused on empowering women should also take the dyadic environment and men's perspectives into account to ensure positive relationship outcomes

  • How Reliable Are Reports of Early Adolescent Reproductive and Sexual Health Events in Demographic and Health Surveys

    Sarah Neal, Sarah E Neal et al.•ARTICLE•International Perspectives on…•2015

    CONTEXT: Age at sexual debut, age at first marriage or first union and age at first birth are among the most widely used indicators of health and well-being for female adolescents. However, the accuracy of estimates for these indicators, particularly for younger adolescents, is poorly understood. METHODS: For each of nine countries in Africa and Latin America, Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) data from two surveys conducted five years apart we…

  • Who cares? Implications of care-giving and -receiving by HIV-infected or -affected older people on functional disability and emotional wellbeing

    Open Access•Makandwe Nyirenda, Maria Evandrou et al.•ARTICLE•Ageing and Society•2015•Citada por: 3•Referências: 72

    This paper examines how care-giving to adults and/or children and care-receiving is associated with the health and wellbeing of older people aged 50+ in rural South Africa. Data used are from a cross-sectional survey adapted from World Health Organization's Study on Global Ageing and Adult Health (SAGE) conducted in 2009/10 in rural South Africa. Bivariate statistics and multivariate logistical regression were used to assess the relationship betw…

  • Are social support and HIV coping strategies associated with lower depression in adults on antiretroviral treatment? Evidence from rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

    Francis Yeji, Kerstin Klipstein-Grobusch et al.•ARTICLE•AIDS Care•2014

    We assess depression rates and investigate whether depression among HIV-infected adults receiving antiretroviral treatment (ART) is associated with social support and HIV coping strategies in rural South Africa (SA). The study took place in a decentralised public-sector ART programme in a poor, rural area of KwaZulu-Natal, SA, with high-HIV prevalence and high-ART coverage. The 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ12), validated in this setti…

  • An Approach to Measuring Dispersed Families with a Particular Focus on Children ‘Left Behind’ by Migrant Parents

    Open Access•Rachel Bennett, Victoria Hosegood et al.•ARTICLE•Population Space and Place•2014•Citada por: 7•Referências: 6

    There is growing policy and academic interest in the conditions, experiences, and well-being of migrant families stretched across origin and destination households. In South Africa, the dispersal of children and migrant parents across multiple households is a commonplace childhood experience. However, in common with the broader international context, quantitative analyses of the social and residential connections between children and migrant pare…

  • Understanding Family Migration in Rural South Africa

    Open Access•Rachel Bennett, Victoria Hosegood et al.•ARTICLE•Population Space and Place•2014•Citada por: 11•Referências: 3

    Despite the removal of restrictions on movement and increasing female participation in migration, only a minority of migrant parents in South Africa include their children in their destination household. Quantitative analyses of the circumstances in which children accompany a migrant parent have been limited by the lack of available data that document family arrangements from the perspective of more than one household. This paper uses data about …

  • Gendered Patterns of Migration in Rural South Africa

    Open Access•Carol S Camlin, Rachel Snow et al.•ARTICLE•Population Space and Place•2013•Citada por: 16•Referências: 13

    Gender is increasingly recognized as fundamental to understanding migration processes, causes and consequences. In South Africa, it is intrinsic to the social transformations fueling high levels of internal migration and complex forms of mobility. While female migration in Africa has often been characterized as less prevalent than male migration, and primarily related to marriage, in South Africa a feminization of internal migration is underway, …

  • An investigation of factors associated with the health and well-being of HIV-infected or HIV-affected older people in rural South Africa

    Open Access•Makandwe Nyirenda, Somnath Chatterji et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2012

    The enhanced healthcare received as part of anti-retroviral treatment as well as the considerable resources devoted to HIV care appear to benefit the overall well-being of HIV-infected older people; whereas similar resources have not been devoted to the general health needs of HIV uninfected older people. Given increasing numbers of older people, policy and programme interventions are urgently needed to holistically meet the health and well-being…

  • Older people and sexuality

    Gloria Chepngeno-Langat, Victoria Hosegood•ARTICLE•Agenda•2012•Citada por: 2•Referências: 6

    Sexuality is an important determinant of health and wellbeing for all ages. The capacity and desire for emotional and sexual intimacy and pleasure is important for people throughout their lives. The issue of older people and sexuality has largely been ignored with the focus being almost entirely on fertility and reproductive aspects of sexuality, thus favouring the young and reproductive individuals. Various historical and cultural contexts shape…

  • “No one can ask me ‘Why do you take that stuff?’”

    Molly Fitzgerald, Martine Collumbien et al.•ARTICLE•AIDS Care•2010

    This paper examines the way gender shaped the health behaviours, health care experiences and narratives of HIV-positive men initiating antiretroviral treatment in South Africa. We conducted participant observation and in-depth, semi-structured interviews with eight men enrolled in a public HIV treatment programme in a rural health district in KwaZulu-Natal. We also interviewed their family members and programme staff. The study found that men's n…

  • Prenatal development in rural South Africa

    Birth weight is an indicator of prenatal development associated with health in infancy and childhood, and may be affected by the family environment experienced by the mother during pregnancy. Using data from KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, we explore the importance of the mother's access to the father and grandparents of the child during pregnancy. Controlling for household socio-economic indicators and maternal characteristics, the survival and res…

  • Collaboration Between Traditional Practitioners and Primary Health Care Staff in South Africa

    The majority of the black African population in South Africa utilize both traditional and public sector Western systems of healing for mental health care. There is a need to develop models of collaboration that promote a workable relationship between the two healing systems. The aim of this study was to explore perceptions of service users and providers of current interactions between the two systems of care and ways in which collaboration could …

  • Labor Supply Responses to Large Social Transfers

    Cally Ardington, Anne Case et al.•ARTICLE•American Economic Journal Applied…•2009

    We quantify the labor supply responses of prime-aged adults to the presence of pensioners in their households, using longitudinal data collected in South Africa. We compare households and individuals before and after pension receipt and pension loss, which allows us to control for a host of unobservable household and individual characteristics that may determine labor market behavior. We find large cash transfers to the elderly lead to increased …

  • The demographic impact of HIV and Aids across the family and household life-cycle

    Victoria Hosegood•ARTICLE•AIDS Care•2009

    HIV is no longer a new or emerging disease in southern Africa. In the era of HIV and AIDS, families and households have continued to form, build, migrate and dissolve. Children born in the 1980s with the risk of mother-to-child HIV transmission have already gone on to start the next generation of families and households. Isolating the impact of HIV and AIDS on families and households is complex given that the epidemic has become part of the direc…

We draw on work conducted in the Joint Learning Initiative on Children and AIDS's Learning Group 1: Strengthening Families, as well as published data and empirical literature to provide the rationale for family strengthening. We clos…

  • Coming home to die? the association between migration and mortality in rural South Africa

    Open Access•Paul Welaga, Victoria Hosegood et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2009

    The shift in emphasis to universal primary health care in post-apartheid South Africa has been accompanied by a process of decentralization of mental health services to district level, as set out in the new Mental Health Care Act, no. 17, of 2002 and the 1997 White Paper on the Transformation of the Health System. This study sought to assess progress in South Africa with respect to deinstitutionalization and the integration of mental health into …

  • The effects of high HIV prevalence on orphanhood and living arrangements of children in Malawi, Tanzania, and South Africa

    Victoria Hosegood, Sian Floyd et al.•ARTICLE•Population Studies•2007•Citada por: 28•Referências: 25

    Using longitudinal data from three demographic surveillance systems (DSS) and a retrospective cohort study, we estimate levels and trends in the prevalence and incidence of orphanhood in South Africa, Tanzania, and Malawi in the period 1988-2004. The prevalence of maternal, paternal, and double orphans rose in all three populations. In South Africa - where the HIV epidemic started later, has been very severe, and has not yet stabilized - the inci…

The results presented highlight the importance of accounting for unrepres…

    Open Access•Inge Petersen, Arvin Bhana et al.•ARTICLE•Health Policy and Planning•2009•Citada por: 13•Referências: 16

    The shift in emphasis to universal primary health care in post-apartheid South Africa has been accompanied by a process of decentralization of mental health services to district level, as set out in the new Mental Health Care Act, no. 17, of 2002 and the 1997 White Paper on the Transformation of the Health System. This study sought to assess progress in South Africa with respect to deinstitutionalization and the integration of mental health into …

  • “No one can ask me ‘Why do you take that stuff?’”

    Molly Fitzgerald, Martine Collumbien et al.•ARTICLE•AIDS Care•2010

    This paper examines the way gender shaped the health behaviours, health care experiences and narratives of HIV-positive men initiating antiretroviral treatment in South Africa. We conducted participant observation and in-depth, semi-structured interviews with eight men enrolled in a public HIV treatment programme in a rural health district in KwaZulu-Natal. We also interviewed their family members and programme staff. The study found that men's n…

  • Prenatal development in rural South Africa

    Solveig Argeseanu Cunningham, I T Elo et al.•ARTICLE•Population Studies•2010•Citada por: 9•Referências: 56

    Birth weight is an indicator of prenatal development associated with health in infancy and childhood, and may be affected by the family environment experienced by the mother during pregnancy. Using data from KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, we explore the importance of the mother's access to the father and grandparents of the child during pregnancy. Controlling for household socio-economic indicators and maternal characteristics, the survival and res…

    The majority of the black African population in South Africa utilize both traditional and public sector Western systems of healing for mental health care. There is a need to develop models of collaboration that promote a workable relationship between the two healing systems. The aim of this study was to explore perceptions of service users and providers of current interactions between the two systems of care and ways in which collaboration could …

  • An investigation of factors associated with the health and well-being of HIV-infected or HIV-affected older people in rural South Africa

    Open Access•Makandwe Nyirenda, Somnath Chatterji et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2012

    The enhanced healthcare received as part of anti-retroviral treatment as well as the considerable resources devoted to HIV care appear to benefit the overall well-being of HIV-infected older people; whereas similar resources have not been devoted to the general health needs of HIV uninfected older people. Given increasing numbers of older people, policy and programme interventions are urgently needed to holistically meet the health and well-being…

  • Older people and sexuality

    Gloria Chepngeno-Langat, Victoria Hosegood•ARTICLE•Agenda•2012•Citada por: 2•Referências: 6

    Sexuality is an important determinant of health and wellbeing for all ages. The capacity and desire for emotional and sexual intimacy and pleasure is important for people throughout their lives. The issue of older people and sexuality has largely been ignored with the focus being almost entirely on fertility and reproductive aspects of sexuality, thus favouring the young and reproductive individuals. Various historical and cultural contexts shape…

  • Gendered Patterns of Migration in Rural South Africa

    Open Access•Carol S Camlin, Rachel Snow et al.•ARTICLE•Population Space and Place•2013•Citada por: 16•Referências: 13

    Gender is increasingly recognized as fundamental to understanding migration processes, causes and consequences. In South Africa, it is intrinsic to the social transformations fueling high levels of internal migration and complex forms of mobility. While female migration in Africa has often been characterized as less prevalent than male migration, and primarily related to marriage, in South Africa a feminization of internal migration is underway, …

  • Are social support and HIV coping strategies associated with lower depression in adults on antiretroviral treatment? Evidence from rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

    Francis Yeji, Kerstin Klipstein-Grobusch et al.•ARTICLE•AIDS Care•2014

    We assess depression rates and investigate whether depression among HIV-infected adults receiving antiretroviral treatment (ART) is associated with social support and HIV coping strategies in rural South Africa (SA). The study took place in a decentralised public-sector ART programme in a poor, rural area of KwaZulu-Natal, SA, with high-HIV prevalence and high-ART coverage. The 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ12), validated in this setti…

  • An Approach to Measuring Dispersed Families with a Particular Focus on Children ‘Left Behind’ by Migrant Parents

    Open Access•Rachel Bennett, Victoria Hosegood et al.•ARTICLE•Population Space and Place•2014•Citada por: 7•Referências: 6

    There is growing policy and academic interest in the conditions, experiences, and well-being of migrant families stretched across origin and destination households. In South Africa, the dispersal of children and migrant parents across multiple households is a commonplace childhood experience. However, in common with the broader international context, quantitative analyses of the social and residential connections between children and migrant pare…
