HIV self-testing preferences among adolescent girls and young women (Agyw) in urban settings in Uganda
HIV self-testing (HIVST) is a crucial innovation for improving testing coverage, particularly among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) who are inadequately reached by standard provider-assisted HIV testing approaches. Understanding their preferences for HIVST services is essential for designing models that optimize uptake. We assessed the HIVST preferences among AGYW at a higher risk of acquiring HIV living in urban Uganda. We enrolled AGYW …
Acceptability of HIV self-testing among HIV high-risk Adolescent Girls and Young Women (Agyw) in urban settings in Uganda
Adolescent Girls and Young Women (AGYW) bear a disproportionate burden of HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa, but HIV testing in this sub-population is sub-optimal. HIV self-testing (HIVST) is an evidence-based intervention that has been shown to improve testing rates among AGYW; however, its acceptability in this sub-population remains under-explored. We assessed the acceptability of HIVST and associated factors among HIV high-risk AGYW. We enrolled HIV …
Coping strategies of school-going adolescents during the Covid-19 pandemic in the climate vulnerable Manafwa watershed, Uganda
During the pandemic, majority of school-going adolescents employed adaptive coping mechanisms, including positive emotional regulation and social support. However, compared to males, females employed resignation more frequently. Moreover, middle-aged adolescents had a greater propensity for negative emotion copying. Findings from this study contribute valuable information for the development of targeted interventions and support mechanisms for ad…

We therefore recommend that various stakeholders such as the Ministry of Health, and the Ministry of Education, design a curriculum that caters to the mental health needs of children. Family …
