  • Conceptualisations of masculinity and sexual development among boys and young men in Korogocho slum in Kenya

    Open AccessBeatrice W Maina, Yandisa Sikweyiya et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2022

    Youth and adolescence are times when young men negotiate their identity in relation to social and cultural expectations of being a man, with enduring implications for sexual health and wellbeing. This study explored how boys aged 10-14 years living in Korogocho slum in Nairobi, Kenya conceptualised masculinity, their perceptions of how masculinities are performed, and the linkage between conceptualisations of masculinity and sexual development. T…

  • Reaching early adolescents with a complex intervention for HIV prevention

    Open AccessSarah Mulwa, Jane Osindo et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    Uptake of DREAMS interventions among a representative sample of EAG was high and quickly increased over the implementation period. The majority accessed multiple interventions, indicating that it is feasible to integrate and deliver a package of interventions to EAG in a challenging informal context

  • Depressive symptoms as predictors of sexual experiences among very young adolescent girls in slum communities in Nairobi, Kenya

    Open AccessBeatrice W Maina, Benedict Orindi et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2020

    Mental health issues are a predisposing factor for HIV acquisition. We examined the association between depressive symptoms and patterns of sexual experience among girls aged 10-14 years living in Korogocho and Viwandani slums in Nairobi, Kenya. We analysed data collected in 2017 from a random sample of 606 girls. Using Latent Class Analysis, we modelled patterns of sexual experiences and used multivariable regression analysis to determine the as…

  • Measuring gender norms about relationships in early adolescence

    Open AccessClaire Moreau, Meihui Li et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2018

    This study reveals common perceptions of gendered norms about romantic engagement in early adolescence, normative for both sexes, but socially valued for boys while devaluated for girls. The findings illustrate that social hierarchies of power in romantic relationships form early in adolescence, regardless of cultural setting

  • Inexperienced’? Patterns in romantic and sexual experiences among urban poor early adolescents in Nairobi, Kenya

    Anna E Kågesten, Caroline Kabiru et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2018

    The need for early prevention approaches to improve young people's sexual and reproductive health is gaining attention, yet little is known about the sexual experiences of early adolescents aged 10-14 years. Drawing on cross-sectional survey data collected from 365 early adolescents in a Nairobi slum, we used latent class analysis to identify subgroups based on self-reported awareness about sex and involvement in romantic and sexual activities. M…

  • Violence victimisation and aspirations–expectations disjunction among adolescent girls in urban Kenya

    Open AccessCaroline Kabiru, Joyce Mumah et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2017

    Violence victimization is a key threat to adolescents’ well-being in urban slums in sub-Saharan Africa. We examined the association between violence victimization and aspiration–expectations disjunction using cross-sectional data from 2360 girls aged 11–15 years in a slum settlement in Nairobi, Kenya. We conducted bivariate and multivariate analyses to assess the association between violence victimization and aspirations–expectations disjunction,…

  • Male circumcision and HIV infection among sexually active men in Malawi

    Open AccessNamuunda Mutombo, Beatrice W Maina et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    This study has demonstrated that traditional male circumcision was not associated with HIV infection in pre-2010 Malawi. Among circumcised men, age and number of lifetime partners are correlates to HIV status while circumcised men who have had ritual sex are more likely to be diagnosed with HIV than circumcised men who have not had ritual sex

  • Factors associated with repeat induced abortion in Kenya

    Open AccessBeatrice W Maina, Michael M Mutua et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    The findings point to the need to address the reasons why women with first time induced abortion do not have the necessary information to prevent unintended pregnancies and further induced abortions. Possible explanations linked to the quality of post-abortion family planning and coverage of long-acting methods should be explored

    Understanding the flow of resources at the country level to reproductive health is essential for effective financing of this key component of health. This paper gives a comprehensive picture of the allocation of resources for reproductive health in Kenya and the challenges faced in the resource-tracking process. Data are drawn from Kenyan budget estimates, reproductive health accounts, and the Resource Flows Project database and compare budgets a…
