    Social messaging in Haiti

  • A qualitative approach to understand antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence for refugees living in Nakivale Refugee Settlement in Uganda

    Open AccessKelli N O’laughlin, S Rouhani et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2018

    By learning about refugees' experiences we can design informed interventions to enhance ART adherence, thus minimizing morbidity and mortality, preventing transmission of HIV, and supporting refugees' abilities to move freely toward repatriation, resettlement or integration in their host country

  • A quantitative assessment of termination of sexual violence-related pregnancies in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo

    Open AccessS Rouhani, Jennifer Scott et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2016

    Most women terminated SVRPs using medications or herbs not recognized as evidence-based methods of pregnancy termination and sought these methods outside of the formal healthcare sector. These data suggest that access to safe abortion methods is needed for women with SVRPs in DRC. Physical symptoms and emotional reactions related to the termination varied. While it is not possible to differentiate the impacts of sexual violence, SVRP, and pregnan…

  • Sexual violence-related pregnancies in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo

    Open AccessGillian Burkhardt, Jennifer Scott et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2016

    Women in this study had limited access to evidence-based safe abortion care and faced potential consequences from unsafe abortion, including increased morbidity and mortality. Increased access to reproductive health services, particularly safe, evidence-based abortion services, is paramount for women with SVRPs in eastern DRC and other conflict-affected regions

In non-refugee populations, social support has been shown to influence HIV testing and utilisation of services. The present study enrolled HIV-infected refugees on anti-retroviral therapy (ART) in Uganda, who participated in qualitative interviews on HIV testing, treatment, and adherence. Interviews were analysed for theme…

  • A national population-based assessment of 2007–2008 election-related violence in Kenya

    Open AccessKirsten Johnson, Jennifer Scott et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2014

  • Testing experiences of HIV positive refugees in Nakivale Refugee Settlement in Uganda

    Open AccessKelli N O’laughlin, S Rouhani et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2013

    HIV testing services provided for refugees must be not just available, but also utilized. Understanding what makes HIV testing possible for refugees who have tested can inform interventions to increase testing in this population. Intervening by encouraging priority shifts toward HIV testing, by helping ensure survival needs are met, and by eliminating barriers to testing, may result in refugees making better use of existing testing services
