  • The role of food security in increasing adolescent girls’ agency towards sexual risk taking

    Open AccessMaricianah Onono, Maricianah A Onono et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    These findings emphasize the need to address food insecurity as a part of structural interventions targeting adolescent HIV risk in low-resource countries. We recommend that future interventions build upon the Shamba Maisha model by combining sustainable agricultural production, with household level interventions that deliberately target gender norms that contribute to unequal power dynamics

  • Mechanisms and perceived mental health changes after a livelihood intervention for HIV-positive Kenyans

    Open AccessAbigail M Hatcher, Emiliano Lemus Hufstedler et al.ARTICLETranscultural Psychiatry2020Citada por: 2Referencias: 74

    While food insecurity and poverty worsen mental health outcomes among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV), few intervention studies have targeted poverty and food insecurity as a way to improve mental health. Among HIV-positive patients, addressing such upstream determinants may prove crucial to ensure better mental health and HIV clinical outcomes. We integrated longitudinal, qualitative research into a randomized trial of a livelihood intervent…

  • I told her this is your life’

    Amy Conroy, Amy A Conroy et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2017

    Despite the important role of social relationships for health and wellbeing, little is known about how primary partners affect adherence to HIV care and treatment. We qualitatively explored how relationship dynamics and partner support influence adherence among couples from KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Twenty-four heterosexual couples with at least one HIV-positive partner completed semi-structured interviews on topics including relationship dyna…

  • Balancing Transparency and Accountability with Privacy in Improving the Police Handling of Sexual Assaults

    Amy Conroy, Teresa ScassaARTICLECanadian Journal of Women and the…2016Citada por: 1Referencias: 1

    This article considers the potential for the adoption in Ontario of a model, developed in Philadelphia and implemented in other US cities, that has proven successful in significantly improving police handling of sexual assault cases and public confidence in the system. This model directly involves front-line sexual assault victim advocates working with police in systematic reviews of police sexual assault records, with a particular focus on “unfo…

  • HIV treatment optimism and its predictors among young adults in southern Malawi

    Sara Yeatman, Kathryn Dovel et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2013

    This study measures HIV treatment optimism and its predictors in a representative sample of young adults in southern Malawi. In 2010, 1275 women and 470 men between the ages of 16 and 26 were asked about their exposure to people on antiretroviral therapy (ART), sexual risk behavior, HIV status, and beliefs about ART. We used confirmatory factor analysis to develop a 4-item scale of the belief that HIV is a less serious health threat due to ART (r…

  • The social construction of Aids during a time of evolving access to antiretroviral therapy in rural Malawi

    Amy Conroy, Amy A Conroy et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2013

    This paper draws upon a set of conversational journals collected over the past decade in rural Malawi, to understand how perceptions of AIDS are constructed as talk of antiretroviral therapy (ART) filters through social networks. Three distinct treatment eras frame our analysis: the early ART era (2001-2003), the ART expansion era (2004-2006) and the later ART era (2007-2009). We find that the early ART era was characterised by widespread fatalis…
