  • Enhancing malaria-in-pregnancy monitoring

    Open AccessArmel Mekountchou Tasségning, Veronica Shiroya et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2026

    Malaria in pregnancy (MiP) is a significant public health concern in high-burden malaria countries and a key predictor of high-risk pregnancies in Cameroon. One of the challenges of the National Malaria Control Programme (NMCP) in Cameroon is to generate reliable, timely, accurate and actionable data to inform decision-making, effective monitoring and planning. Discussions with the NMCP at the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) identified poor data…

  • Depression and cancer outcomes in resource-limited settings

    Open AccessEmma Wisniewski, Adewumi Alabi et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    The intersection of depression and cancer outcomes represents a critical yet understudied domain in global oncology, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where both conditions impose substantial disease burdens. While evidence from high-income countries demonstrates associations between depression and adverse cancer outcomes, the generalizability of these findings to resource-limited settings remains uncertain. Theoretical fra…

  • An innovation bootcamp model for developing youth-led HIV self-testing delivery strategies in Nigeria

    Open AccessUcheoma Nwaozuru, Chisom Obiezu‐Umeh et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    Introduction: Many designathons, hackathons, and similar participatory events suffer from minimal training and support after the events. Responding to this need, we organized a health innovation bootcamp: an intensive, team-based apprenticeship training with research and entrepreneurial rigor among young people in Nigeria to develop HIV self-testing (HIVST) delivery strategies for Nigerian youth. The purpose of this paper was to describe an innov…

  • Perceptions of HIV self-testing promotion in black barbershop businesses

    Open AccessDonaldson F Conserve, Allison Mathews et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    These findings suggest that barbershop business venues may provide an appropriate venue for HIVST promotion and distribution, though factors like cost, training, and incentivization of implementers are necessary to consider in implementation planning. Furthermore, partnerships between public health actors and the business community must be built on equitable engagement to ensure the long-term viability of these critical initiatives

  • Willingness to Receive HIV Self-Testing Kits from Recent Sexual Partners Among Men in Dar Es Salam, Tanzania

    Open AccessKelia Olughu, Gaspar Mbita et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2024

  • Adverse Childhood Experiences and HIV-Related Stigma

    Open AccessAmandeep Kaur, Monique J Brown et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2024

    Experiencing adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) may impact personal opinions, attitudes, and judgments, which can further result in HIV-related stigma. HIV-related stigma consequentially may impact HIV preventive measures such as HIV testing, pre-exposure prophylaxis uptake, and condom use. The extent to which ACEs influence HIV-related stigma perception has not been well studied. Therefore, the study aimed to examine the association between AC…

    Open AccessDawit Alemu, Zelalem T Haile et al.ARTICLEViolence Against Women2024

    The following study attempts to assess the link between the circumcision status of Ethiopian women and their ability to negotiate sex. From the 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey, we analyzed a subsample of 3,445 women aged 15 to 49. Women's sexual negotiation ability was measured by their ability to ask for condom and their ability to refuse sex. We performed a univariate, bivariate, and multiple logistic regression analysis. In the fi…

  • A qualitative analysis of on-campus forbidden intimacies among undergraduate students in Lahore, Pakistan

    Aisha Jalil, Donaldson Conserve et al.ARTICLEJournal of Human Behavior in the…2024Referencias: 45

    Albeit the social disapproval and stigmatization, romance is an incontrovertible feature of youth culture in Pakistan. This study generates a multifaceted understanding about the intimate relationship development and dissolution, in particular the pre-dissolution conditions and post-dissolution adjustment among unmarried, non-cohabiting emerging adults. Qualitative methods were applied, comprising 129 in-depth interviews and three focus group dis…

    Open AccessChidiogo Nwakoby, Leslie J Pierce et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Men s Health2023

    Black men comprise most new HIV infections in the Southern United States and have worse HIV outcomes than their non-Black counterparts. We developed an academic–community partnership in Nashville, Tennessee, to explore opportunities to improve HIV outcomes for Black men. We recruited barbers to an HIV training and focus group discussion about prevention and potential barber/barbershop-based strategies to address HIV-related needs for Black men. W…

  • Crowdsourcing to support training for public health

    Open AccessKadija M Tahlil, Ucheoma Nwaozuru et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Crowdsourcing is an interactive process that has a group of individuals attempt to solve all or part of a problem and then share solutions with the public. Crowdsourcing is increasingly used to enhance training through developing learning materials and promoting mentorship. This scoping review aims to assess the literature on crowdsourcing for training in public health. We searched five medical and public health research databases using terms rel…

  • Awareness of and willingness to use oral HIV self-test kits among Kenyan young adults living in informal urban settlements

    Open AccessBabayemi O Olakunde, Dawit Alemu et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2023

    Self-administered HIV testing may be a promising strategy to improve testing in hard-to-reach young adults, provided they are aware of and willing to use oral HIV self-testing (HIVST). This study examined awareness of and willingness to use oral HIVST among 350 high-risk young adults, aged 18-22, living in Kenya's informal urban settlements. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regressions were used to examine differences in HIVST awareness and wi…

  • Changing attitudes towards HIV testing and treatment among three generations of men in Cameroon

    Open AccessLeila Katirayi, Patrice Tchendjou et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    The study highlights important considerations when planning future information-sharing activities for HIV testing and treatment. Since lived experiences differ across generations and societal roles continue to change, not only should the content of messages differ among the generations, but the means of communication must also be considered to ensure the messages are conveyed through a trusted source

  • Development, Implementation, and Scale Up of the National Furaha Yangu Campaign to Promote HIV Test and Treat Services Uptake Among Men in Tanzania

    Open AccessDonaldson F Conserve, Joseph Msofe et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Men s Health2022

    Evidence has demonstrated that immediate HIV treatment initiation upon a positive HIV test, referred to as Test and Treat, can help people living with HIV live longer, healthier lives and prevent HIV transmission. Although Tanzania adopted the evidence-based Test and Treat strategy since 2016, men were not being adequately reached for HIV services. A national campaign was launched to promote the new HIV services with a focus on men. To inform the…

  • Perceived benefits, challenges, and recommendations for HIV research dissemination and implementation science efforts in Tanzania

    Open AccessDonaldson F Conserve, Subina Saini et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Although several international and national HIV/AIDS conferences exist, there was not a national conference in Tanzania focusing on HIV/AIDS disseminating and implementation research conducted in the country and abroad. This created a missed opportunity for researchers to share their research findings with local policymakers and HIV program implementers who can influence the adoption and implementation of promising research in public health and c…
