Access to Health Care Services among Young People Exchanging Sex in Detroit
Criminal justice involvement among young adults exchanging sex in Detroit
Examining the relationship between psychological distress and adherence to anti-retroviral therapy among Ugandan adolescents living with HIV
Psychological distress is common among adolescents living with HIV (ALHIV) worldwide, and has been associated with non-adherence to anti-retroviral therapy (ART), leading to poor virologic suppression, drug resistance, and increased risk for AIDS morbidity and mortality. However, only a few studies have explored the relationship between psychological distress and ART adherence among adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa. The paper examines the relati…
Development of a Psychosocial Distress Measure for Ugandan Adolescents Living with HIV
Modeling the community-level effects of male incarceration on the sexual partnerships of men and women
Interpersonal Relationships and Social Support in Transitioning Narratives of Black Transgender Women in Detroit
Social support has been shown to play a key role in overcoming adversities associated with marginalized identities, yet there is a dearth of information regarding the role of social networks in the gender transition process, particularly in ethnic minority transgender communities. This study uses life history narratives, and a modified grounded theory analysis, to explore the impact of interpersonal relationships on the gender transition process …
Incarceration and Sexual Risk
The Social Legacy of Aids
Objectives. We investigated the impact of HIV status on fertility desires in Uganda. Methods. We surveyed 1594 women aged 18 to 49 years visiting outpatient services at Mbarara Regional Hospital, from May through August 2010. Of these, 59.7% were HIV-positive; 96.4% of HIV-positive women were using antiretroviral therapy (ART). We used logistic regression models to examine relationships between HIV status and fertility desires, marital status, ho…
Gender Attitudes and Fertility Aspirations among Young Men in Five High Fertility East African Countries
The relationship between women's attitudes toward gender equality and their fertility aspirations has been researched extensively, but few studies have explored the same associations among men. Using recent Demographic and Health Survey data from five high fertility East African countries, we examine the association between young men's gender attitudes and their ideal family size. Whereas several DHS gender attitude responses were associated with…
The built environment & the impact of neighborhood characteristics on youth sexual risk behavior in Cape Town, South Africa
A Novel Look at Racial Health Disparities
Objectives. We explored the notion that social disadvantage increases vulnerability to the health effects of environmental hazards. Specifically, we examined (1) whether race modifies the association between blood lead and blood pressure and (2) whether socioeconomic status (SES) plays a role in this modifying effect. Methods. Using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2001–2008) and linear regression, we estimated the associatio…
The Impact of Female Genital Cutting on First Delivery in Southwest Nigeria
To date, data linking obstetric morbidity to female genital cutting in populations with less severe types of cutting have been limited to case reports and speculation. In this cross‐sectional study, 1,107 women at three hospitals in Edo State, Nigeria, reported on their first‐delivery experiences. Fifty‐six percent of the sample had undergone genital cutting. Although univariate analyses suggest that genital cutting is associated with delivery co…

Power and Decision
This book is a collective effort to provide in one publication an overview of the disparate social forces that circumscribe reproduction within specific social parameters with a complementary examination of how biomedical research and the new reproductive technologies reflect and sustain those parameters. Including case studies from a range of countries this book offers a collection of Southern and Northern feminist perspectives on which social c…
