“We are outdoor people, but now you find that you are staying indoors for two days.” A qualitative study on perceptions and experiences of African migrant students in China
Every year, thousands of African students migrate to high- and middle-income countries to pursue higher education. China has emerged as an educational destination for many of them. Understanding the impacts of migration on students is relevant for developing recommendations to support their psychosocial health. This study aims to explore the perceptions and experiences of Southern African migrants studying in China. This was a qualitative study t…
Implementing a pilot study of Covid-19 self-testing in high-risk populations and remote locations
Our findings contribute to the evidence-base regarding self-testing strategies conducted via workplaces and secondary distribution to households. Willingness to perform a COVID-19 self-test increased after implementation. This pilot enhanced pandemic preparedness through expansion of the national self-testing reporting system, development of communications materials, changes in the national legal framework and coordination mechanisms, and improve…
Evaluation of a Training Program on Gender Mainstreaming in Health Research Evaluation at the Senegalese National Research Ethics Committee
Health research must be of high ethical and scientific quality and consider the needs and experiences of women, men, and nonbinary individuals. National Research Ethics Committees (RECs) are in a strategic position to impede sex- and gender-blind research. In 2020 and 2021, training programs on gender mainstreaming and sex and gender approaches in research evaluation were launched in Senegal. They were evaluated through a mixture of qualitative a…
Acceptability and determinants of using male hormonal contraceptives
Willingness to Use Male Contraceptive Pill
Previous studies have suggested that social and cultural factors significantly influence people's willingness to use the male contraceptive pill, which is in relatively advanced development. The present study aims at comparing Spanish and Mozambican participants level of willingness to take a male contraceptive pill. Factorial designed scenarios were used to collect data on the two population samples (Spain = 402 participants; Mozambique = 412 pa…
Covid-19 self-testing, a way to “live side by side with the coronavirus”
Alongside mass vaccination for COVID-19, sustainable diagnostic strategies for SARS-CoV-2 are needed to empower local communities and help them complement health authorities’ efforts to end the pandemic in low- and middle-income countries. Indonesia is among the nations with an overstretched health system that may benefit from technological innovations, such as rapid SARS-CoV-2 antigen-detection tests for self-testing, to detect asymptomatic case…
A global grounded theory exploration of investigators’ perspectives on male hormonal contraceptive development and acceptability
While best practices have been proposed on how to engage men in family planning (FP), the limited options of male hormonal contraceptives (MHC) are a barrier to reaching men as clients of FP programs. The lack of alternative MHC is preventing the global health community from providing holistic reproductive healthcare. A qualitative grounded theory study was conducted in 2020 to explore MHC experts' perceptions around the development and theoretic…
Management of Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting-Related Obstetric Complications
Although female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) is a prevalent practice in Liberia, healthcare workers lack the capacity to provide adequate care for FGM/C survivors. Therefore, Liberian nurses, physician assistants, midwives and trained traditional midwives were trained in sexual, obstetric and psychosocial care for FGM/C survivors in 2019. Through questionnaires, we assessed knowledge acquisition, trainee attitudes towards FGM/C care and acc…
Self-testing for Covid-19 in Durban and Eastern Cape, South Africa
Innovative diagnostic solutions are essential to improve COVID-19 case detection and slow its spread in resource-constrained settings. To understand how South African communities may utilise rapid SARS-CoV-2 antigen self-testing and react to self-test results, we conducted a qualitative study, involving semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions, of healthcare workers, representatives of civil society groups, and potential self-testin…
Socio-anthropological methods to study the feasibility and acceptability of the minimally invasive autopsy from the perspective of local communities
The minimally invasive autopsy (MIA), an innovative approach for obtaining post-mortem samples of key organs, is increasingly being recognized as a robust methodology for cause of death (CoD) investigation, albeit so far limited to pilot studies and research projects. A better understanding of the real causes of death in middle- and low-income countries, where underlying causes of death are seldom determined, would allow improved health planning,…
Becoming and Being a Woman
Zambian women might doubt whether to stop or preserve labial elongation, which is a female genital modification instructed to the girl child as the first rite of passage into womanhood. We conducted a grounded theory research among Zambian men and women who had immigrated to Cape Town. Twenty women and seventeen men participated. Beliefs and perceptions around womanhood, gender roles and pleasure place elongation as a practice that is highly valu…
FGMReview
Web-based literature search engines may not be user-friendly for some readers searching for information on female genital mutilation. This is a traditional practice that has no health benefits, and about 140 million girls and women worldwide have undergone it. In 2012, the website FGMReview was created with the aim to offer a user-friendly, accessible, scalable, and innovative knowledge management tool specialized in female genital mutilation. Th…
Towards a gender perspective in qualitative research on voluntary medical male circumcision in east and southern Africa
The World Health Organization endorsed voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) in 2007 as an effective method to provide partial protection against heterosexual female-to-male transmission of HIV in regions with high rates of such transmission, and where uptake of VMMC is low. Qualitative research conducted in east and southern Africa has focused on assessing acceptability, barriers to uptake of VMMC and the likelihood of VMMC increasing men's…
Zambian Women in South Africa
Labia minora elongation consists in the manual stretching of the inner lips of the external genitalia. This practice is documented in east and southern Africa. The experiences of African women in the diaspora practicing elongation are not thoroughly understood. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the health harms and benefits associated with this practice of Zambian women who have migrated to Cape Town, South Africa. Twenty women…
Grounded Theory
A study on how Zambian migrants living in Cape Town perceive and experience the implications of labial elongation on women's health was conducted. Labia minora elongation (LME) is a genital modification that some women in east and southern Africa practice. This tradition is not common in Western Cape province (southwestern part of South Africa). The aim of this article is to discuss the methodological choices made in the design and conduct of thi…
Autoerotism, Homoerotism, and Foreplay in African Women Who Practice Labia Minora Elongation
Objectives: Labia minora elongation is a female genital modification in which some women in certain linguistic groups from Africa engage. One of the purposes is to enhance sexual pleasure for their male partners. Methods: The literature has been reviewed to describe how labia minora elongation serves for women to increase their sexual pleasure, both as an autoerotic method and in the context of homoerotic and heterosexual relationships. Results a…
Perceptions of Men on Puxa-Puxa , or Labia Minora Elongation, in Tete, Mozambique
Labia minora elongation has been documented as being practiced by 98.6% of the women in Tete province, Mozambique. Women engage in this procedure before the first menstruation. In this article we report on the findings from the male respondents from Tete province that participated in the qualitative component of the World Health Organization-supported multicountry Gender, Sexuality, and Vaginal Practices study. The men reported that the main moti…
Nutritional Taboos among the Fullas in Upper River Region, The Gambia
Malnutrition is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality of children in the world. In The Gambia, malnutrition is one of the major public health problems. Among the factors determining its high prevalence, cultural norms play a crucial role. Food taboos influence the amount, frequency, and quality of nutrients that mothers and children consume. In this qualitative study carried out in the Upper River Region, The Gambia, seventeen moth…
Labia minora elongation as understood by Baganda male and female adolescents in Uganda
Labia minora elongation is a common traditional female genital modification practice among the members of the Baganda ethnic group in Uganda. In 2002, a study carried out by the Padua Working Group on Female Genital Mutilation analysed how Baganda girls residing in Wakiso District graphically represented their experiences of labia minora elongation. In the present study, using the same methodology and in the same geographic setting 10 years later…
Elongation of labia minora in Uganda
Okukyalira ensiko or 'visiting the bush' is how, in Uganda, the Baganda people name the practice of elongating the labia minora, which young girls start performing before menarche. As a mandatory rite of passage that identifies membership of the tribe, one of its main purposes is to enhance sexual pleasure for both male and female partners. The conditions in which it is practiced involve certain physical health risks. In this qualitative study ca…
