Navigating context, power and politics
Gender is an intersectional determinant of health that remains insufficiently integrated in programmes and policies. Sustained processes of dialogue and collaboration, including participatory approaches such as co-design, are needed to effect gender integration. However, the contexts and power dynamics through which co-design may support gender integration are not well understood. This qualitative case study examined a co-design partnership that …
Participatory design partnerships for gender and health in low- and middle-income countries
Gender inequality remains an intersectional determinant of health insufficiently addressed in programmes and policies. Progress requires systematic integration of gender perspectives but is constrained by the embeddedness of gender inequality across sectors, socioecological levels, and stakeholders. Participatory design approaches hold promise, but the role of participatory design partnerships in advancing gender equality remains underexplored. T…
Beliefs of Pentecostal pastors on the use of antiretroviral treatment among Pentecostal Christians living with HIV in a suburb of Cape Town-South Africa

This paper reports on an exploratory qualitative study to explore the beliefs held by Pentecostal pastors regarding the use of ART a…

Understanding the Psychosocial Correlates of the Intention to Use Condoms among Young Men in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
South Africa leads the world with the number of people infected with HIV. Even with all attempts that have been made to curb HIV, it is still evident that new infections are on the rise. Condom use remains one of the best tools against this challenge yet a small number of sexually active men use them. This study investigates the psychosocial correlates of the intention to use condoms among young men in KwaZulu-Natal province. Using the Theory of …
The psychosocial determinants of the intention to avoid sexual engagement when intoxicated among young men in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
These findings imply that health education interventions should focus on changing the normative beliefs as well as control beliefs of the target population either directly through education and training or indirectly by creating physical and social environments that facilitate safe sexual practices, for example by organizing positive peer support for risk prevention and by making condoms freely available in community alcohol serving establishment…
