    Open AccessA Gibbs, Eliezer Stern et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2026

    For young people intimate relationships are a key space in which health and wellbeing are strengthened or undermined. This study seeks to understand how contextual factors shape relationship quality among young heterosexual people in informal settlements in eThekwini Municipality, South Africa. In-depth interviews with (N = 30) young (ages 18-30) heterosexual women and men living in informal settlements, stakeholders (N = 13, aged 18+) and partic…

  • Zethembe

    Open AccessA Gibbs, Zama Khoza et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Effective interventions to address violence against women and girls in urban informal settlements are limited. To address this gap, we undertook an intervention co-development process, bringing together four young women (aged 18–25 years) living in an urban informal settlement, academics and NGO partners. Following the 6 Steps in Quality Intervention Development (6SQuID) approach we collaboratively worked through the steps using participatory met…

  • Stepping Stones and Creating Futures Plus

    Open AccessA Gibbs, Leon Washington et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Marginalised young women and men in South Africa experience and perpetrate high rates of intimate partner violence (IPV), shaped by their contexts and life histories. To address this, we co-developed Stepping Stones and Creating Futures Plus (SSCF+) with young women and men living in marginalised communities to reduce IPV, strengthen livelihoods and improve mental health. We assessed the intervention’s feasibility, acceptability and potential imp…

  • “Something we can all share”

    Open AccessLinda J Brown, Jenevieve Mannell et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Food insecurity remains a pressing global issue and South Africa continues to face socioeconomic inequalities that make securing food a challenge for many young people. To address this challenge, we need better understanding of the social context of food and its importance in driving perceptions and behaviours about food and its scarcity. In this study, we examine the meaning of food for young people living in urban informal settlements and rural…

  • Challenges and opportunities in coproduction

    Open AccessJenevieve Mannell, Leon Washington et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2023

    Coproduction is widely recognised as essential to the development of effective and sustainable complex health interventions. Through involving potential end users in the design of interventions, coproduction provides a means of challenging power relations and ensuring the intervention being implemented accurately reflects lived experiences. Yet, how do we ensure that coproduction delivers on this promise? What methods or techniques can we use to …

  • Impact of South Africa’s April 2022 floods on women and men’s lives and gender relations in low-income communities

    Open AccessRachel Jewkes, A Gibbs et al.ARTICLESSM - Mental Health2023

    In 2022, South Africa faced devastating flooding which resulted in the loss of at least 425 lives and widescale destruction of property. Using qualitative methods, we describe the gendered impact of the floods on homes and lives of women and men from very low-income housing areas. We conducted 16 in-depth interviews with women, and eight single-sex narrative group discussions and with 35 women and 15 men from flood-affected areas. The women were …

  • Adaptation and pre-test of a shortened Stepping Stones and Creating Futures intervention focused on HIV for young men in rural South Africa

    Open AccessA Gibbs, Dumile Gumede et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Men’s engagement in HIV prevention and treatment is suboptimal, including in South Africa. We sought to address this through adapting an evidence-based intervention, Stepping Stones and Creating Futures (SSCF), to strengthen its HIV content and provide a more scalable (shorter) intervention in rural South Africa. We then conducted a mixed methods pre-test of the intervention among young men aged 18–35 years. To adapt SSCF, we reviewed the current…
