  • Infertility and male-perpetrated intimate partner violence against HIV-negative women in low- and middle-income countries

    Open AccessCheyu Zhang, A Ramaiya et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2026

    Male-perpetrated intimate partner violence (IPV) against women is a global crisis, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) due to restrictive gender norms. Stigma against infertility and childlessness could increase women's vulnerability to IPV. This study analyzed data from the Demographic Health Survey, including 93,734 ever-in-union, HIV-negative women aged 20-49 years across 16 LMICs. Logistic regressions, adjusted for survey…

  • Agency and Opportunity in Early Adolescence

    Open AccessLinnea A Zimmerman, Cary Karp et al.ARTICLEJournal of Adolescence2025

    INTRODUCTION: Little research has explored the relationship of opportunity structures, such as parental influence and neighborhood context, with the development of individual agency amongst adolescents, particularly in understanding gender-specific relationships. METHODS: We use longitudinal data from 1188 boys and 1153 girls who were age 10-14 at enrollment and followed for up to 5 years during the Global Early Adolescent Study in Kinshasa, DRC …

  • Trajectories of personal agency by gender and pubertal development among adolescents in Kinshasa

    Open AccessLinnea A Zimmerman, Cary Karp et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2024

    Young people develop/acquire different forms of agency at different stages of adolescence and development is not uniform across forms. Gender inequalities in agency amplify at puberty, signaling the need to intervene at or before this critical stage of development

  • Combining Theory and Research to Validate a Social Norms Framework Addressing Female Genital Mutilation

    Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is a harmful practice with no benefits and considerable harm to girls and women who undergo it. In 2016, the United Nations Joint Program to Eliminate FGM, funded the development and subsequent validation of a monitoring and evaluation framework to understand the relationship between social norms and practicing FGM. Evidence on the framework was gathered through a pilot study in Ethiopia. This paper uses cross-sect…

  • Measuring the effectiveness of communication programming on menstrual health and hygiene management (MHM) social norms among adolescent girls in India

    Open AccessSuruchi Sood, Kelli Kostizak et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2020

    This manuscript has two objectives: (1) operationalise and measure the fit of two theory-based measures of social norms and (2) examine the relationship between a social and behaviour change communication (SBCC) initiative, social norms, and menstrual health and hygiene management (MHM) among rural adolescent girls in Uttar Pradesh, India. A population-based, case-comparison design was utilised. Interviews were conducted ( n = 2212) using quantit…

  • What are the psychometric properties of a menstrual hygiene management scale

    Open AccessA Ramaiya, Suruchi SoodARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    MHM is multi-dimensional construct comprising of behaviors which were time-bound by menstruation (menstrual health) and behaviors not time-bound by menstruation (hygiene management). Based on these results, the author recommends that MHHM is used as an acronym in the future and proposes a revised definition for MHHM

  • How does a Social and Behavioral Change Communication Intervention Predict Menstrual Health and Hygiene Management

    Open AccessA Ramaiya, Alka Malhotra et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2019

    Future programs should use SBCC to improve MHHM behavior but involve families, peers and community members to a greater extent in order to improve attitudes towards menstruation, attitudes towards restrictions, attitudes towards absorbent use and reduce restrictions within the community

    Eveline Geubbels, A Williams et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2018

We explored the patterns and correlates of disclosure and described the effectiveness of nurse-facilitated disclosure among HIV-infected mothers of infants in coastal Tanzania. We enrolled 400 HIV positive women in an observational longitudinal study in 2011, interviewed them about maternal sociodemographic and economic cha…

  • Crossing the quality chasm in resource-limited settings

    Open AccessDuncan Maru, Jason R Andrews et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2012

    Over the last decade, extensive scientific and policy innovations have begun to reduce the "quality chasm"--the gulf between best practices and actual implementation that exists in resource-rich medical settings. While limited data exist, this chasm is likely to be equally acute and deadly in resource-limited areas. While health systems have begun to be scaled up in impoverished areas, scale-up is just the foundation necessary to deliver effectiv…
