The effect of antiretroviral therapy guideline change on health outcomes among youth living with HIV in Uganda
Opportunistic infections (OIs) are the primary cause of HIV-related morbidity and mortality. To reduce the risk, the ART eligibility criteria were revised to start treatment before advanced disease onset. We evaluated the effect of 2014 HIV clinical guideline changes in Uganda on opportunistic infections and survival among Youth Living with HIV (YLWH). This retrospective cohort analysis used administrative data from the District Health Informatio…
Adverse Childhood Experiences, Depression, Resilience, & Spirituality in African-American Adolescents
Perspectives of Patients and Providers in Using Shared Decision Making in Psychiatry
There is increased interest over the last decade in the use of Shared Decision Making with individuals with serious mental illness to improve engagement in treatment and clinical outcomes. We conducted semi-structured qualitative interviews with 15 individuals with serious mental illness treated in an outpatient transitional care clinic serving people immediately after discharge from a psychiatric hospitalization. Parallel interviews were conduct…
Factors associated with general self-efficacy and resilience among youth heads of households in Kenya
This study assesses resilience and general self-efficacy among Kenyan orphans and vulnerable children ( n = 1060) active in a community-based program combining economic household strengthening with psychosocial support. Quantile regression analyses modeled associations between the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles of resilience and general self-efficacy and multiple covariates. Program participation positively predicted increased general self-effi…
Sexual Behavior Among Young Carers in the Context of a Kenyan Empowerment Program Combining Cash-Transfer, Psychosocial Support, and Entrepreneurship
This study examined associations between sexual initiation, unprotected sex, and having multiple sex partners in the past year with participation in a three-year empowerment program targeting orphan and vulnerable children (OVC). The Kenya-based program combines community-conditioned cash transfer, psychosocial empowerment, health education, and microenterprise development. Program participants (n = 1,060) were interviewed in a cross-sectional de…
Health and livelihood outcomes associated with participation in a community-based empowerment program for orphan families in semirural Kenya
Over 40 million African children have lost one or both parents to death or desertion for various causes. Recent unconditional cash-transfer programs in sub-Saharan countries have been found effective at mitigating financial, health, and educational challenges concomitant with parental loss. Due to constraints on governmental resources useful for oversight, however, these gains have been less pronounced than in other contexts where governmental ov…
Evaluation of a patient-reported continuity of care model for older adults
Retention in Care
BACKGROUND: Patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection need lifelong medical care, but many do not remain in care. The effect of poor retention in care on survival is not known, and we sought to quantify that relationship. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study involving persons newly identified as having HIV infection during 1997-1998 at any United States Department of Veterans Affairs hospital or clinic who started a…
Improving Identification of Hispanic Males in Medicare
OBJECTIVES: Medicare administrative and claims files maintained by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) are frequently used to examine racial and ethnic disparities in healthcare use. However, identification of Hispanic ethnicity for beneficiaries in the Medicare claims files is problematic, greatly limiting the use of these administrative data for examining race/ethnicity differences. This article reports on 2 studies assessing t…
Ethnicity, Emotional Distress, Stress-Related Disruption, and Coping among HIV Seropositive Gay Males
Differences in psychosocial factors that impact immune function and which, therefore, are relevant to HIV infection have been reported between Hispanics and non-Hispanic whites in the cross-cultural literature. To determine whether there were differences between Hispanic and non-Hispanic white HIV-seropositive homosexual males on life stressors, coping style, social support, and emotional distress, a sample (Hispanics = 27, non-Hispanic whites = …
