  • Changes in caregiver psychosocial factors known to affect pediatric HIV disclosure

    Adwoa K A Afrane, Arthi Bobbala et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2026

    This comparative study analyzed changes in caregiver-related factors known to influence pediatric HIV disclosure using baseline data from two clinical trials in Ghana – Sankofa 1 (recruitment 2013–2016) and Sankofa 2 (recruitment 2021-2023). Changes in caregiver characteristics and psychosocial domains were measured using validated instruments: social support (Social Provisions Scale), HIV knowledge (Brief HIV Knowledge Questionnaire), illness pe…

  • High prevalence of non-adherence to antiretroviral therapy among undisclosed HIV-infected children in Ghana

    Justin S Nichols, Tassos C Kyriakides et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2019

    Adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) remains one of the greatest obstacles in pediatric HIV care. We sought to determine the prevalence of adherence to ART among undisclosed HIV-infected children and adolescents in Ghana. We analyzed baseline data from HIV-infected children and adolescents aged 7-18 years old enrolled in the SANKOFA Pediatric HIV disclosure intervention study in Ghana. Antiretroviral medication adherence was measured using c…

  • Prevalence and correlates of depression among caregivers of children living with HIV in Ghana

    Angela Ofori-Atta, Nancy R Reynolds et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2019

    Prior studies show an association between caregiver depression and child health outcomes. There has been little examination of depression among caregivers of HIV-infected children in sub-Saharan countries where pediatric HIV is concentrated. Using baseline data collected in the pediatric HIV disclosure intervention trial, Sankofa, we examined the prevalence and factors associated with depression among caregivers (N = 446) of children infected wit…

  • Quality of life among Ghanaian adolescents living with perinatally acquired HIV

    Anthony Enimil, Nicole R Nugent et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2016

    In Sub-Saharan Africa, increasing numbers of children with perinatally acquired HIV (PAHIV) are living into adolescence. These adolescents face numerous unique challenges such as parent illness/death and years of medication use. Optimizing care for these youth requires an understanding of the factors that contribute to physical health, psychological well-being, social relationships, and quality of life (QOL). This mixed methods study collected qu…

  • HIV knowledge, stigma, and illness beliefs among pediatric caregivers in Ghana who have not disclosed their child's HIV status

    Open AccessElijah Paintsil, Lorna Renner et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2015

    The majority of HIV-infected children in sub-Saharan Africa have not been informed of their HIV status. Caregivers are reluctant to disclose HIV status to their children because of concern about the child's ability to understand, parental sense of guilt, and fear of social rejection and isolation. We hypothesized that the low prevalence of pediatric HIV disclosure in Ghana is due to lack of accurate HIV information and high HIV stigma among careg…

  • Sankofa pediatric HIV disclosure intervention cyber data management

    Open AccessAnn Christine Catlin, Sumudinie Fernando et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2015

    Prevalence of pediatric HIV disclosure is low in resource-limited settings. Innovative, culturally sensitive, and patient-centered disclosure approaches are needed. Conducting such studies in resource-limited settings is not trivial considering the challenges of capturing, cleaning, and storing clinical research data. To overcome some of these challenges, the Sankofa pediatric disclosure intervention adopted an interactive cyber infrastructure fo…
