Using the intervention mapping for adaption framework to adapt an evidence-based sexual health intervention for youth affected by trauma
The adapted intervention shows promise toward meeting the behavioral health needs of Black youth exposed to household challenges. Our process and approach can serve as a model for researchers and practitioners aiming to extend the reach of EBIs
Social resources, resilience, and sexual health among South African adolescent girls and young women
Socioecological factors, including social resources, influence South African adolescent girls' and young women's sexual health. Few studies have explored how these multi-level social factors relate to both resilience and sexual health in this community. This study examines if social resources mediate associations between resilience and two sexual health outcomes. A weighted-sample of 7,237 South African girls and young women (aged 15-24 years) co…
Assessing the Influence of Child Sexual Behavior on Depression among Black SMM in the Southeastern United States
Limited studies have examined the associations between child sexual abuse (CSA) and depression among Black sexual minority men (SMM) in the Southeastern United States (US). As, such, the current study examined the critical gap in understanding the impact of CSA on Black SMM's mental health. Specifically, we tested the associations between contextual CSA factors and depression among a large population-based sample of Black SMM living in two cities…
From resilient girls to (more) resilient women
Adolescence and emerging adulthood are times of heightened adversity for South African girls and young women due to structural disadvantage. In this mixed-methods study, we explored lived experiences of resilience among a sample of 377 South African girls and young women (15-24 years) who completed a quantitative cross-sectional survey that included a validated measure of resilience. Quantitative analyses included descriptive statistics and an in…
I can't go to her when I have a problem
Parent-adolescent sexuality communication, the process in which parents and their adolescent children discuss sexuality and sexual and reproductive health, is a key component for adolescents' protective behaviours. Open communication with parents, particularly mothers, enables informed sexual and reproductive health (SRH) decision-making amongst adolescent girls and young women (AGYW). As part of a qualitative study evaluating a South African com…
Pre-exposure prophylaxis as an opportunity for engagement in HIV prevention among South African adolescents
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) offers a potential biomedical strategy to reduce HIV incidence among adolescent populations disproportionately affected by HIV. There is limited evidence on the social and clinical implications, including engagement in HIV prevention efforts, of PrEP for South African adolescents, who face high HIV risk. We conducted a mixed-methods study in Western Cape, South Africa from 2015 to 2016. Adolescents (N = 35) aged 16…
In this place we have found sisterhood”
A combination sexual and reproductive health (SRH) intervention for adolescent girls and young women (AGYW), implemented in South Africa 2016–2019, included facilitated peer-group clubs designed to build AGYW self-esteem, foster supportive peer networks, and provide SRH education. We conducted qualitative in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with AGYW who had participated in peer-group clubs, club facilitators, teachers and interventio…
“As a Young Pregnant Girl… The Challenges You Face”
In South Africa, adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) are at risk of poor mental health, HIV infection and early pregnancy. Poor mental health in AGYW is associated with increased sexual risk behaviours, and impeded HIV testing and care. Using in-depth interviews and focus group discussions, we explored subjective experiences of mental health and sexual and reproductive health (SRH) amongst 237 AGYW aged 15-24 years in five South African distr…
Building resilient families
Depression contributes significantly to the global burden of disease in low- and middle-income countries. In South Africa, individuals may be at elevated risk for depression due to HIV and AIDS, violence, and poverty. For adolescents, resilience-focused prevention strategies have the potential to reduce onset of depression. Involving families in promoting adolescent mental health is developmentally appropriate, but few existing interventions take…
