  • Accelerating HIV Prevention in Cameroon

    Open AccessOlolade Julius Baruwa, Elona Toska et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2026

    Adolescent girls in Cameroon face substantial sexual and reproductive health vulnerabilities that heighten their risk of HIV exposure. Using data from 2,586 adolescent girls aged 15-19 years from the 2017-18 Cameroon Population-based HIV Impact Assessment, we examined factors associated with multiple sexual partnerships, age-disparate sex, inconsistent condom use, transactional sex, and a composite measure of high-risk sex. Overall, 4.31% reporte…

  • Accelerators for improved health among adolescent mothers in South Africa

    Open AccessLucie D Cluver, Janina Jochim et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    BACKGROUND: 30% of girls in Africa are mothers, facing high risk for negative health and educational outcomes. We aimed to identify services with the potential to reduce multiple simultaneous risks for adolescent mothers, described by the UN as 'development accelerators'. METHODS: Adolescent mothers (n=1044) from South Africa completed questionnaires between 2017/2019 and 2020/2023, assessing mental health, HIV risks, violence victimisation, educ…

  • Accelerators to reduce violence, HIV risk, and early pregnancy among adolescents and young people in Namibia

    Open AccessMadison T Little, Lucas Hertzog et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Our study applied the INSPIRE Framework – the WHO’s 2016 technical package of evidence-based interventions for addressing violence against children – to identify accelerators for youth in Namibia. Accelerators are protective factors that contribute toward achieving multiple SDG targets. Using nationally representative data from the 2019 Namibia Violence Against Children & Youth Survey (n = 5167), three hypothesised accelerators (food security, pa…

  • Extreme drought and sexual violence against adolescent girls and young women

    Open AccessLucas Hertzog, Marshall Makate et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Droughts have profound and far-reaching impacts on human health and well-being, but their influence on sexual violence among adolescent girls in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is underexamined.This study examines the association between drought and sexual violence against adolescent girls and young women globally, using cross-sectional, nationally representative data from the Violence Against Children and Youth Surveys (VACS) from 2013 …

  • Accelerating the prevention of HIV and violence in adolescent girls and young women in Zimbabwe through multi-sectoral programming

    Open AccessMartina Mchenga, Brendan Maughan-Brown et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2025

    In Zimbabwe, adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) encounter significant challenges, including HIV risk and gender-based violence. This study analyses data from 7,211 AGYW aged 13-24 from the 2017 Zimbabwe Violence Against Children Survey. Using a multivariable logistic regression model, it examines the associations between three protective factors: positive parenting, food security, and equitable-gender attitudes and 12 outcomes. Westfall-Youn…

  • Social Protection and HIV risk Factors among Youth in Southern Africa

    Open AccessBoladé Hamed Banougnin, Delivette Castor et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2025

    Poverty fuels risky sexual behaviors associated with HIV infection among youth. Interventions like cash transfers may mitigate HIV risk. We explored the role of broader social protection (including food, educational, and social transfers) in reducing HIV risk among 15-24-year-olds in Southern Africa. We analyzed Population-based HIV Impact Assessment surveys data from 31,317 youth in eSwatini, Lesotho, Malawi, Namibia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe (2015-…

  • Tackling the Triple Threat in Kenya

    Open AccessBrendan Maughan-Brown, Boladé Hamed Banougnin et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2025

    The government of Kenya's Triple Threat strategy recognises the need for urgent intervention to address the high incidence of HIV, gender-based violence (GBV) and pregnancy among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW). We used nationally representative data among AGYW aged 13-24 (n = 1344) from the 2018-19 Kenya Violence Against Children & Youth Survey (VACS) in multivariable logistic regression analyses to examine associations between three pot…

  • Digital tools for youth health promotion

    Open AccessAgata Ferretti, Kwame Adjei et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2024

    Although digital health promotion (DHP) technologies for young people are increasingly available in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), there has been insufficient research investigating whether existing ethical and policy frameworks are adequate to address the challenges and promote the technological opportunities in these settings. In an effort to fill this gap and as part of a larger research project, in November 2022, we conducted a wor…

  • Social protection as a strategy for HIV prevention, education promotion and child marriage reduction among adolescents

    Open AccessLucas Hertzog, Lucie D Cluver et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    Social protection programs have been increasing in sub-Saharan African countries, playing a pivotal role in poverty reduction, with Lesotho being no exception. Despite the optimistic outlook brought about by the implementation of the National Social Protection Strategy Lesotho I (2014-19) and II (2021-2031), the impact of these programs on some specific outcomes that concern the lives of the most vulnerable adolescents in Lesotho remains to some …

  • The Relationships between Drought Exposure, Fertility Preferences, and Contraceptive Behaviors

    Open AccessOluwaseyi Dolapo Somefun, Boladé Hamed Banougnin et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning2024Cited by: 2References: 44

    The interplay between population dynamics and the environment has long interested demographers. Although studies have explored how climate patterns affect macrolevel population processes, such as mortality and migration, little is known about their impact on individual‐level demographic behaviors. This study fills this research gap by examining the linkages between exposure to drought and women's fertility preferences and contraceptive behaviors …

  • Protective factors for adolescent sexual risk behaviours and experiences linked to HIV infection in South Africa

    Open AccessWilliam E Rudgard, Maria Granvik Saminathen et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    Effective structural interventions to improve food security and education enrolment among adolescent girls, and positive and supervisory caregiving among adolescent girls and boys are likely to translate into crucial reductions in sexual risk behaviours linked to HIV transmission in this population
