  • Spatial Distribution of HIV Prevalence among Young People in Mozambique

    Open AccessRachid Muleia, Makini Boothe et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2020

    Mozambique has a high burden of HIV and is currently ranked sixth worldwide for adult prevalence. In Mozambique, HIV prevalence is not uniformly distributed geographically and throughout the population. We investigated the spatial distribution of HIV infection among adolescents and young people in Mozambique using the 2009 AIDS Indicator Survey (AIS). Generalized geoadditive modeling, combining kriging and additive modeling, was used to study the…

  • Factors influencing risky sexual behaviour among Mozambican miners

    Open AccessEmilia Martins-Fonteyn, Osvaldo Loquiha et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2017

    In Mozambique, behavioural theory emphasising personal behavioural changes is the main strategy to combat HIV among miners. Our findings suggest there is a need to change thinking processes about how to influence safer sexual behaviour. This is viewed to be the result of a person's individual decision, due to of the complexity of social and contextual factors that may also influence sexual behaviours. This only stresses the need for HIV preventio…

  • Age-disparity, sexual connectedness and HIV infection in disadvantaged communities around Cape Town, South Africa

    Open AccessWim Delva, Roxanne Beauclair et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2011

    This study design is intended to facilitate more accurate recall of sensitive sexual history data and has the potential to provide substantial insights into the relationship between key sexual network attributes and additional risk factors for HIV infection. This will help to inform the design of context-specific HIV prevention programmes

  • Nusap

    Idesbald Boone, Ides Boone et al.ARTICLEJournal of Risk Research2010Cited by: 2References: 1

    The Numeral Unit Spread Assessment Pedigree (NUSAP) system was implemented to evaluate assumptions in a quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) model for Salmonella spp. in minced pork meat. This QMRA model allows the testing of mitigation strategies for the reduction of human salmonellosis and aims to serve as a basis for science‐based policy making. The NUSAP method was used to assess the subjective component of assumptions in the QMRA mo…

  • The Impact of Simplification in a Sequential Rule-Based Model of Activity-Scheduling Behavior

    Open AccessElke A L M G Moons, Elke Moons et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and Planning A…2005Cited by: 1References: 18

    The aim of this paper is to gain a better understanding of the impact of simplification on a sequential model of activity-scheduling behavior which uses feature-selection methods. To that effect, the predictive performance of the Albatross model, which incorporates nine different facets of activity-travel behavior, based on the original full decision trees, is compared with the performance of the model based on trimmed decision trees. The results…
