Testing the Development of a Diet-Based Bisphenol a Score to Facilitate Studies on Child Neurodevelopment
While gestational Bisphenol A (BPA) exposure has been associated with autism, limited work has focused on dietary sources. Here, we sought to develop a summary metric to capture dietary exposure specifically and test its associations with measured levels, as well as child traits related to autism. Participants ( n = 116) were from the Early Autism Risk Longitudinal Investigation (EARLI) Study, which recruited pregnant women who previously had a c…
The longitudinal impact of an evidence‐based multiple family group intervention ( Amaka Amasanyufu ) on oppositional defiant disorder and impaired functioning among children in Uganda
BACKGROUND: Oppositional Defiant Disorders (ODDs) and other Disruptive Behavior Disorders (DBDs) are common among children and adolescents in poverty-impacted communities in sub-Saharan Africa. Without early intervention, its progression into adulthood can result in dire consequences. We examined the impact of a manualized family strengthening intervention called Amaka Amasanyufu designed to reduce ODDs and other DBDs among school-going children …
Pediatric, adolescent, and young adult cancer in an HIV-infected rural sub-Saharan African population
Youth living with HIV (YLWHIV) have an increased cancer risk. Our objective is to describe the prevalence of medical record (MR) reported suspected cancers in a contemporary cohort of YLWHIV in Uganda that was assembled through MR reviews of patients 10 to 24 years old across 35 Ugandan HIV care health facilities. Clinical data were abstracted to identify suspected cancer cases and information about HIV care. Among 3728 YLWHIV, we identified eigh…
Family-level correlates of disruptive behavior challenges among children in Southwestern Uganda
From “4Rs and 2Ss” to “Amaka Amasanyufu” (Happy Families)
In Uganda, one in five children presents mental health challenges, including disruptive behavior disorders (DBDs). DBDs can persist through adulthood and result in negative outcomes. Effective interventions for DBDs have been developed and tested in high‐poverty communities in developed countries. Yet, most African countries, such as Uganda, lack such interventions. This paper describes the adaptation process of an evidence‐based intervention of …
Assessing the impact of an asset-based intervention on educational outcomes of orphaned children and adolescents
This paper examines the effect of an asset-based intervention on academic performance and school transition among orphaned and vulnerable children in Uganda. Participants were randomly assigned to either the control arm or two treatment arms receiving an asset-based intervention. Participants in the treatment arms scored better grades; and had higher odds of transitioning to post-primary education relative to the control arm. Programmes which tar…
Examining the relationship of social support and family cohesion on ART adherence among HIV-positive adolescents in southern Uganda
Several studies in sub-Saharan Africa have linked social support to better ART (antiretroviral therapy) adherence among adults living with HIV. Less is known about the role of social support and family cohesion in ART adherence among children below 18 years. This paper focuses on HIV-infected adolescents as they transition through the vulnerable developmental stage of adolescence to examine the association between family cohesion and social suppo…
