Navigating socio-ecological and institutional barriers to antiretroviral therapy adherence
Background The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) pandemic remains a major global health issue, with 40.8 million people affected at the end of 2024. In Sub-Saharan Africa, Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) coverage reached 74%, though adherence remained challenging, particularly among youth due to poverty, stigma, and weak health systems. Aim This paper explored socio-ecological and institutional barriers…
Participation, inclusion and reflexivity in multi‐step (focus) group discussions
Top‐down, extractive research approaches are increasingly challenged in social studies, particularly by communities in the Global South. However, methodological stagnation persists as systemic academic pressures and a wider lack of social change hinder researchers from engaging in long‐term transformative studies. We discuss multi‐step context‐building focus group discussions (FGDs) within a ‘methodology as practice’ approach (Hui, 2023), emphasi…
Knowledge, perceptions, and practices around zoonotic diseases among actors in the livestock trade in the Lake Victoria crescent ecosystem in East Africa
Background: Zoonotic diseases such as anthrax, rabies, brucellosis, and Rift Valley fever pose a direct threat to health and undercut livelihoods in the communities in which they occur. A combination of anthropogenic and animal activities like migration and interaction with wildlife and their respective parasites and vectors drives the emergence and re-emergence of zoonotic diseases. Consequently, One Health interdisciplinary approaches that inco…
Social capital undergirds coping strategies
Understanding the nature and scope of existing social capital is essential to building the resilience of people living in vulnerable urban settings. This paper explores the question of how aid organisations can better utilise social capital to build the resilience of communities in slums. It specifically examines the relationship between social capital and urban vulnerability. The study used a mixed-methods approach to understand the diverse pers…
Fear, Efficacy, and Environmental Health Risk Reporting
Reducing disease from unsafe drinking-water is a key environmental health objective in rural Sub-Saharan Africa, where water management is largely community-based. The effectiveness of environmental health risk reporting to motivate sustained behaviour change is contested but as efforts to increase rural drinking-water monitoring proceed, it is timely to ask how water quality information feedback can improve water safety management. Using cross-s…
Economic Determinants of Sexual Debut among In-School Adolescents in Rural Kenya
Most people are driven by material gains and adolescents are no exception. We set to determine the influence of economic factors on sexual debut among in-school adolescents through the lens of the Marxist theory. A mixed-method design, quantitative and qualitative data collection methods, was used. Three sets of adolescents were targeted in the study: mixed-sex day secondary schools, girls-only boarding and boys-only boarding secondary schools, w…
