    Background Firearm relinquishment laws, including Domestic Violence Restraining Orders (DVROs) and Gun Violence Restraining Orders (GVROs; California’s form of Extreme Risk Protection Orders), are intended to reduce intimate partner homicide by restricting firearm access in high-risk situations. However, the effectiveness of these laws depends on implementation across courts, law enforcement agencies, and survivor-service systems. Methods We cond…

    Open AccessAmanda P Miller, Stephen Mugamba et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2026

    The study provides practical suggestions for enhancing syphilis awareness, engagement in care, and women's experiences in ANC within a resource-limited, high-burden context.

  • Barriers to Routine Antenatal Syphilis Screening in Uganda

    Open AccessNatalie Saham, Amanda P Miller et al.ARTICLEGlobal Qualitative Nursing Research2025

    Congenital syphilis is preventable through early detection and treatment during pregnancy. Although global syphilis rates have declined, the prevalence of undiagnosed and untreated infections remains high in low- and middle-income countries. In Uganda, national clinical guidelines recommend syphilis screening and treatment at the first antenatal care (ANC) visit, yet coverage remains suboptimal, contributing to ongoing perinatal transmission. As …

    Jennifer A Wagman, Wilson H HammettARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2025Referencias: 7

    Firearm relinquishment laws aim to prevent intimate partner homicide, yet enforcement remains fragmented and underresourced. Drawing on 25 stakeholder interviews conducted in California in 2021 and 2024 to 2025, we examined implementation challenges related to domestic violence restraining orders and gun violence restraining orders and explored how recent federal funding cuts have impacted survivor access to legal protection. Findings reveal stru…

    The SAVA syndemic is frequently used to describe the co-occurrence of HIV, gender-based violence (GBV), and substance use. In this study we determine the extent to which the typologies of the SAVA syndemic can be described and utilized for intervention strategies among youth living in the slums of Kampala, Uganda.

    Open AccessBrittnie E Bloom, Cierra Raine Sorin et al.ARTICLESexuality & Culture2021Citada por: 4Referencias: 11

    Sexual violence and sexual harassment (SVSH) are pervasive across university campuses. SVSH research rarely focuses on graduate students, who occupy unique positions within university settings due to their multiple responsibilities (e.g., teaching, research, mentoring), including managing unequal power dynamics with mentors and advisors. As part of a larger qualitative study, we sought to better understand SVSH generally and, when applicable, exp…

    Open AccessBrittnie E Bloom, Jennifer A Wagman et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2020

    Women with agency (i.e. the ability to make choices and act on them) may experience reduced food insecurity (FI) and intimate partner violence (IPV). Reducing FI and IPV among women are global goals; however, research focused on agency among Eswatini women has been overlooked, though they experience high rates of FI and IPV. We analysed cross-sectional data from 406 Swazi women who sought care at one rural and one urban-public antenatal clinic in…

    Erika Bonnevie, Godfrey Kigozi et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2020

    Alcohol use, intimate partner violence (IPV) and HIV infection are associated, but few programmes and interventions have addressed their synergistic relationship or been evaluated for effectiveness and acceptability. This is a critical gap in populations with high rates of alcohol use, HIV and IPV, such as Uganda's fishing communities. This study examined drinking norms, barriers and facilitators to engagement in a risk reduction programme, and i…
