The MindSKILLZ sport-based mental health promotion intervention for adolescents in Kenya
Background: Young people in Eastern and Southern Africa face critical mental health challenges, and most have little or no access to mental health care and support. MindSKILLZ is a sport-based mental health promotion and prevention intervention delivered to adolescents aged 10-14 by trained near-peer mentors (Coaches). A pragmatic pilot study was undertaken in Nairobi and Mombasa counties of Kenya to: (a) assess preliminary effects on adolescents…
Development and Validation of a Novel Risk Calculator to Predict Sub-optimal HIV Outcomes Among Pregnant and Postpartum Women with HIV in Kenya
No tool currently exists to predict the cumulative risk of suboptimal clinical outcomes among pregnant and postpartum women with HIV (PPWH). This study sought to develop and validate a parsimonious risk calculator capable of predicting disengagement from care and HIV treatment failure among PPWH. We created the risk calculator using data from 1,331 PPWH from Southwestern Kenya (Homabay, Migori, and Kisumu Counties) in the Mother Infant Visit Adhe…
Real-world performance of point-of-care vs. standard-of-care HIV viral load testing in western Kenya
Routine HIV viral load testing is important for evaluating HIV treatment outcomes, but conventional viral load testing has many barriers including expensive laboratory equipment and lengthy results return times to patients. A point-of-care viral load testing technology, such as GeneXpert HIV-1 quantification assay, could reduce these barriers by decreasing cost and turnaround time, however real-world performance is limited. We conducted a seconda…
Using queueing models as a decision support tool in allocating point-of-care HIV viral load testing machines in Kisumu County, Kenya
Point-of-care (POC) technologies—including HIV viral load (VL) monitoring—are expanding globally, including in resource-limited settings. Modelling could allow decision-makers to consider the optimal strategy(ies) to maximize coverage and access, minimize turnaround time (TAT) and minimize cost with limited machines. Informed by formative qualitative focus group discussions with stakeholders focused on model inputs, outputs and format, we created…
Effects of a Home-Based Intervention on HIV Prevention Health Behaviors in Pregnant/Postpartum Kenyan Women
Pathways for HIV Prevention Behaviors Following a Home-Based Couples Intervention for Pregnant Women and Male Partners in Kenya
Retention and viral suppression of newly diagnosed and known HIV positive pregnant women on Option B+ in Western Kenya
Kenya introduced universal antiretroviral treatment (ART) for pregnant and breastfeeding women living with HIV (Option B+) in 2014. A retrospective study was conducted to review consecutive records for HIV positive pregnant women presenting for antenatal care (ANC) at five clinics in western Kenya. Known positive women (KP :HIV diagnosis prior to current pregnancy) were compared to newly positive (NP) women regarding virologic suppression and ret…
Differentiated HIV care in sub-Saharan Africa
Many gaps in care exist for provision of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in sub-Saharan Africa. Differentiated HIV care tailors provision of ART for patients based on their level of acuity, providing alternatives for where, by whom, and how often care occurs. We conducted a scoping review to assess novel differentiated care models for ART provision for stable HIV-infected adults in sub-Saharan Africa, and how these models can be used to guide differ…
Impact of a Rapid Results Initiative Approach on Improving Male Partner Involvement in Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission of HIV in Western Kenya
Men’s hopes, fears and challenges in engagement in perinatal health and the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV in rural Kenya
Male involvement in antenatal care has been shown to improve health outcomes for women and infants. However, little is known about how best to encourage male partners to support essential perinatal health activities. We explored men's perceptions of facilitators and barriers to involvement in antenatal care and HIV prevention including fears, hopes and challenges. Forty in-depth interviews were conducted with the male partners of HIV-positive and…
