Measures of violence against children (VAC) categorise violence as physical, emotional, sexual violence and neglect. While used globally, these measures may not reflect how conflict-affected adolescents conceptualise harm. Drawing on child rights, structural violence, and feminist frameworks, this study explores how adolescents living in conflict-affected Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) conceptualise violence. Methods We conducted four same-se…

Background Globally, adolescent mothers and their children have poorer health outcomes. However, little is known regarding having multiple children as an adolescent. Analyses explore associations between having multiple versus single children on young mothers’ mental health and having a sibling and child development outcomes for their children. Furthermore, maternal age when having a second child (eg, multipara adolescent or multipara adolescent–…
Determinants of Antiretroviral Treatment Adherence Among Young Mothers Living with HIV
Adolescent girls living with HIV are at higher risk of poor HIV treatment outcomes than older women living with HIV. However, little is known about how age at first birth influences their adherence to antiretroviral treatment (ART). Using South African data from a cross-sectional study of 311 young mothers living with HIV (N = 311, mean age 19.7 ± 1.92 years, follow-up = 2017-2018), we examined the association between age at first birth (< 18 ver…
Exploring Self-reported Adherence Measures to Screen for Elevated HIV Viral Load in Adolescents
The timely identification of ART non-adherence among adolescents living with HIV presents a significant challenge, particularly in resource-limited settings where virologic monitoring is suboptimal. Using South African adolescent cohort data (N = 933, mean age 13.6 ± 2.89 years, 55.1% female, follow-up = 2014-2018), we examined the association between elevated viral load (VL ≥ 1000 copies/mL) and seven self-reported adherence measures on missed d…
Who goes back to school after birth? Factors associated with postpartum school return among adolescent mothers in the Eastern Cape, South Africa
Early motherhood can negatively impact health, educational, and socio-economic outcomes for adolescent mothers and their children. Supporting adolescent mothers' educational attainment, and timely return to school, may be key to interrupting intergenerational cycles of adversity. Yet, there remains a paucity of evidence on the factors that are associated with mothers' postpartum return to school and the mediators of this process, particularly acr…
