Whose Research Is It? Knowledge Creation With and for Adult Children of Survivors of the Genocide Against the Tutsi
Decolonial practices in bioanthropology have led to a shift toward intentional community engagement to inform the questions asked and the methods used, moving from “research on” to “research with”. Specifically, in our work with survivors of the genocide against the Tutsi, we have grappled with how to develop contextually and culturally adequate research processes that prioritize community ways of knowing in the context of intense, widescale trau…
Mental health and workplace wellbeing among Frontline healthcare providers who provide HIV care to children, adolescents and their families
Frontline healthcare providers (HCPs) are critical to the paediatric-adolescent HIV response in Africa, yet their mental health and workplace wellbeing remain underexplored. We conducted a mixed-methods study with 617 frontline HCP who provide HIV services to children and adolescents in 12 high-prevalence African countries. Participants completed a cross-sectional survey assessing depression, work-related quality of life, empowerment, job satisfa…
Bioethics Recommendations to Increase Culturally Informed Global Health Survey Research
Global health projects—a source of inspiration and collaboration for applied human biology—benefit scholars, governments, NGOs, and aid organizations. While such research is intended to improve population health, direct benefits to individuals and communities are often excluded from published works and/or not considered in study designs and framing. This exclusion is increasingly recognized as a colonial legacy that hinders global health equity, …
Strengthening Reflexivity Through Trauma- and Violence-Informed Practice in Action Research
Reflexivity is an integral part of action research and is recognized as an important and necessary indicator of study rigour. A key goal of reflexivity is to ensure that research decisions do not replicate existing (or add new) harm to those whom the research describes or involves, however less attention has been paid to potential harms that researchers themselves may face. This paper brings attention to the vulnerabilities of researchers with li…
Toolkit article
Across populations, human morbidity and mortality risks generally follow clear gradients, with socially‐disadvantaged individuals and groups tending to have higher morbidity and mortality at all life stages relative to those more socially advantaged. Anthropologists specialize in understanding the proximate and ultimate factors that shape variation in human biological functioning and health and are therefore well‐situated to explore the relations…
Double Jeopardy
Rwandans conceived by rape during the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi have endured a violent beginning and a troubled childhood. Given compelling evidence of the influence of prenatal environments and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on future health, these individuals are at high risk of poor mental and physical health outcomes. The purpose of the study was to characterize mental and physical health outcomes in young adults who were exposed …
Building Nursing and Midwifery Capacity Through Rwanda’s Human Resources for Health Program
Global disparities in the quantity, distribution, and skills of health workers worldwide pose a threat to attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030 and deepens already existing global health inequities. Rwanda and other low-resource countries face a critical shortage of health professionals, particularly nurses and midwives. This article describes the Human Resources for Health (HRH) Program in Rwanda, a collaboration between the Mi…
Assessing the twinning model in the Rwandan Human Resources for Health Program
BACKGROUND: Because of the shortage of health professionals, particularly in specialty areas, Rwanda initiated the Human Resources for Health (HRH) Program. In this program, faculty from United States teaching institutions (USF) "twin" with Rwandan Faculty (RF) to transfer skills. This paper assesses the twinning model, exploring USF and RF goal setting, satisfaction and perceptions of the effectiveness of skill transfer within the twinning model…
