  • Baby Friendly Spaces

    Open AccessMolly E Lasater, Getachew M Woldeyes et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2025

    Poor maternal mental health has been shown to impact child health and development. Yet, there is a gap in research on integrated maternal and child care models in humanitarian settings. Action Against Hunger developed the Baby Friendly Spaces (BFS) program which bridges this gap by delivering evidence-based psychosocial support for young children under 2 years and their mothers. This multi-method study was conducted in Nguenyyiel refugee camp (Et…

    Open AccessAmanda Nguyen, Sarah M Murray et al.ARTICLECambridge Prisms Global Mental…2024

    Feasible adjustments to implementation can improve program delivery to increase impact on maternal distress and well-being. Although results should be interpreted with caution, study design limitations are common in pragmatic, field-based research

    Open AccessMolly E Lasater, Tukiya Kanguya et al.ARTICLESSM - Mental Health2023

    In Sub-Saharan Africa, unhealthy alcohol use (UAU) is a growing threat to achieving ‘the last mile’ towards ending AIDS by 2030. Common Elements Treatment Approach (CETA) is a multisession transdiagnostic cognitive behavioral therapy protocol that can treat a range of common co-morbid mental and behavioral mental health problems, including UAU. In a randomized controlled trial (RCT), we previously reported that CETA was clinically effective in re…

  • Measuring sexual violence stigma in humanitarian contexts

    Open AccessSarah M Murray, Molly E Lasater et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2021

    An abbreviated core set of invariant perceived and internalized sexual violence stigma items demonstrated evidence of construct validity in two diverse settings. The ability of this measure to be efficiently administered as a part of routine program monitoring and evaluation activities, with the potential addition of items from a measurement bank to improve contextual relevance, can facilitate improvements in the delivery and quality of gender-ba…

    Research focused on strengthening program implementation is critically important for improving maternal and child health in humanitarian emergencies. Research in such settings demands critical problem-solving skills, strong supervision systems, flexibility in timeline and logistics, and tailor-made training for program and research staff members and context- adapted strategies for retaining existing staff

  • Characterising the relationship between migration and stigma affecting healthcare engagement among female sex workers in Lomé, Togo

    Open AccessMolly E Lasater, Ashley Grosso et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2019

    Migration in West Africa is common and complicates the sustained delivery of comprehensive HIV care programmes for those with specific vulnerabilities to HIV, including female sex workers (FSW). This study evaluated whether migration potentiates the burden of stigma affecting FSW in Lomé, Togo. Respondent driven sampling identified 354 FSW who completed HIV testing and a questionnaire. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify factor…

  • Dusukasi—The Heart That Cries

    Open AccessMolly E Lasater, Madeleine Beebe et al.ARTICLECulture Medicine and Psychiatry2018

    Perinatal mental health problems such as depression and anxiety are prevalent in low and middle-income countries. In Mali, the lack of mental health care is compounded by few studies on mental health needs, including in the perinatal period. This paper examines the ways in which perinatal women experience and express mental distress in rural Mali. We describe a process, relying on several different qualitative research methods, to identify unders…
