  • A risky coping strategy

    Open AccessBetty Kwagala, Betty J Kwagala et al.ARTICLECritical Public Health2026

    Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining (ASM) attracts some of the most vulnerable populations, including females who constitute close to half of the labor force. Among this group are adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) who, driven by poverty, engage in risky sexual behaviors that are detrimental to their health. The situation was dire during the COVID-19 lockdown. This paper examines the determinants of multiple sexual partnerships (MSPs) (operatio…

  • Determinants of sexually transmitted infections among adolescent girls and young women in artisanal and small-scale mining communities of Uganda

    Open AccessBetty Kwagala, Hanna Chidwick et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    The results highlight the urgent need to respond to the high prevalence of self reported STIs among AGYW in ASM. The risk factors constitute multiple and intersecting vulnerabilities that require both preventive and curative interventions targeting female and male ASM workers and host communities, with emphasis on behavioral change and promotion of viable alternative sources of income. The ministries of Health, Gender, Labour and Social Developme…

  • The cost-effectiveness of community health workers delivering free diarrhoea treatment

    Open AccessZachary Wagner, Rushil Zutshi et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2022

    Community health workers (CHWs) are a vital part of the health infrastructure in Uganda and in many other low- and middle-income countries. While the need for CHWs is clear, it is less clear how they should dispense health products to maximize the health benefits to their community. In this study, we assess the cost-effectiveness of several competing CHW distribution strategies in the context of treatment for child diarrhoea. We used data from a …

  • Proximate and distal factors associated with the stall in the decline of adolescent pregnancy in Uganda

    Open AccessCatherine Mbabazi, Alexander Kintu et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    The stall in the decline of adolescent pregnancies in Uganda was linked to a stall in the reduction of adolescent marriage, which in turn was associated with limited progress in female educational attainment between 2006 and 2016. We emphasize the need for a renewed focus on girl's education and poverty reduction to reduce adolescent pregnancy in Uganda and subsequently improve health outcomes for adolescent girls

  • Factors associated with modern contraceptive use among young and older women in Uganda; a comparative analysis

    Open AccessJohn Bosco Asiimwe, Patricia Ndugga et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    Addressing contraceptive use among old and young women in Uganda requires concerted efforts that target such women to address the socio economic barriers that exist. There is need for increased access of family planning service to the population through strengthening the use of Village Health Teams (VHTs) whose service is currently limited in coverage (MoH, 2009). Given the variation in contraceptive use between the two age groups, our findings f…
