Relationship Power, Partner Risk Characteristics, and Recent Intimate Partner Violence Among Adolescent Girls and Young Women in a High HIV Incidence Setting in Kenya
Adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) in sub-Saharan Africa face intersecting risks of HIV and intimate partner violence (IPV). Although pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) expands HIV prevention options, its use is often constrained by imbalanced relationship power and male partner behaviors. We used baseline data from the Tu’Washindi na PrEP cluster randomized trial to describe PrEP use, relationship dynamics and identify attributes associated wi…
Examining pathways by which socioeconomic instability in adolescence influence sexual health during emerging adulthood in an agricultural setting in California
This study investigates the longitudinal impact of socioeconomic instability on teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted infection (STI) diagnosis among adolescents and young adults (AYA) living in an agricultural region and examines pathways including supportive family and social structures, decision making autonomy in romantic relationships, health access, mental health and coping behaviors, and perceptions of future opportunities. Data were dra…
An introduction to inverse probability weighting and marginal structural models
Developmental scientists routinely examine how a focal predictor relates to some aspect of children's development. Although covariate adjustment is typically used to test hypotheses, propensity score-based methods, including inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) and marginal structural models (MSM), can strengthen inference and answer more nuanced, developmentally relevant questions. This article provides a didactic introduction to IP…
Acceptability of the dapivirine vaginal ring for HIV-1 prevention among women reporting engagement in transactional sex
We assessed if acceptability of the dapivirine vaginal ring for HIV prevention differed among the subgroup of women who reported engaging in transactional sex prior to enrollment in MTN-020/ASPIRE (phase III trial in Malawi, South Africa, Uganda, and Zimbabwe, 2012-2015; n = 2629). Transactional sex was defined as receipt of money, goods, gifts, drugs, or shelter in exchange for sex in the past year. Dimensions of acceptability included: ease of …

Correlates of Adherence to Oral and Vaginal Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Among Adolescent Girls and Young Women (Agyw) Participating in the MTN-034/Reach Trial
Decreased homelessness among women involved in the criminal legal system after a Covid-19 housing intervention
The COVID-19 outbreak fueled unprecedented public health efforts to mitigate the spread of infection, including rapid provision of non-congregate housing to people experiencing homelessness. People on community supervision (criminal probation or parole) have high levels of homelessness due to housing discrimination, poverty and racism, and are among the groups most vulnerable to COVID-19. We examined housing status in a cohort of women with proba…
Exploring the relationship between anticipated stigma and community shared concerns about HIV on defaulting from HIV care in rural South Africa
In this sample, we found limited impact of reducing anticipated stigma and increasing shared concern about HIV on retention in care. Future studies should consider the limitations of this study by examining the influence of other sources of stigma in more detail and assessing how perceptions of stigma and concern impact the full HIV testing and care cascade
Evaluating oxygen monitoring and administration during overdose responses at a sanctioned overdose prevention site in San Francisco, California
My Family Was Also Happy”
Improving intimate partner violence interventions requires understanding pathways to change among couples participating in these interventions. This article presents qualitative data from 18 males and 16 females who participated in a combined behavioral economics (contingency management) and cognitive behavioral therapy alcohol and violence reduction intervention trial in Bengaluru, India. Results confirmed several theorized pathways of change, a…
Latinx Adolescent Perspectives on the Effects of United States Immigration Policy on Wellbeing
In a prospective cohort study of Latinx adolescents living in an agricultural county in California, we examined perceptions of federal immigration policy and its effects on community and individual wellbeing. From May to December 2017, 565 youth responded to an open-ended item integrated into ongoing surveys. Median age was 14 (range 13-16 years), 53% female, and 94% Latinx. About 12% were immigrants, 71% children of immigrant parents, and 52% ha…
Social environment risk factors for violence, family context, and trajectories of social‐emotional functioning among Latinx adolescents
INTRODUCTION: High social-emotional functioning, including emotion regulation and nonviolent conflict resolution, constitute developmental competencies of adolescence that promote health and well-being. We used prospective longitudinal data from a predominantly Latinx population to understand how family context and social environment risk factors for violence related to patterns of social-emotional functioning during the transition between middle…
Routine and preventive health care use in the community among women sentenced to probation
Couples’ Preferences for “2 in 1” Multipurpose Prevention Technologies to Prevent Both HIV and Pregnancy
Couples’ decision making regarding the use of multipurpose prevention technology (MPT) for pregnancy and HIV prevention
Acceptability of the Dapivirine Vaginal Ring for HIV-1 Prevention and Association with Adherence in a Phase III Trial
We evaluated the acceptability of the 25 mg dapivirine vaginal ring (DVR) as an HIV prevention intervention and its influence on DVR adherence in the MTN-020/ASPIRE phase III trial. Acceptability measures were captured using ACASI at month 3 and end of product use (median 24 months, IQR 15-30). Monthly returned rings were classified as nonadherent if dapivirine release rate was ≤ 0.9 mg/month. Associations between acceptability measures and nonad…
The Role of Families in Adolescent and Young Adults’ PrEP Use
Family and School Connectedness Associated with Lower Depression among Latinx Early Adolescents in an Agricultural County
Depression constitutes one of the greatest sources of morbidity and mortality for U.S. adolescents. Latinx are the fastest growing U.S. adolescent population, particularly in rural communities, and suffer from depression at higher rates than other racial/ethnic groups. Informed by community perspectives on adolescent health, we examined factors associated with depression among Latinx early adolescents in an agricultural community. We surveyed 599…
Perspectives from Young South African and Zimbabwean Women on Attributes of Four (Placebo) Vaginal Microbicide Delivery Forms
How well a product fit in with participants' lifestyles was important to their overall satisfaction. For on-demand products, greater flexibility around timing of use was desired, to avoid coital dependency of the dosing
Hygiene, Blood Flow, and Vaginal Overload
Efficacy is Not Everything
As new female-initiated HIV prevention products enter development, it is crucial to incorporate women's preferences to ensure products will be desired, accepted, and used. A discrete-choice experiment was designed to assess the relative importance of six attributes to stated choice of a vaginally delivered HIV prevention product. Sexually active women in South Africa and Zimbabwe aged 18-30 were recruited from two samples: product-experienced wom…
