The impact of financial incentives on HIV incidence among adolescent girls and young women in Eswatini
Introduction Incentives conditional on school attendance or on remaining free of sexually transmitted infections have produced mixed results in reducing HIV incidence. Methods HIV-negative adolescent girls and young women aged 15–22%–50% of whom were out of school—were recruited from 293 clusters in Eswatini from urban (30%) and rural areas (70%). Financial incentives conditional on education attendance were randomly allocated at the cluster leve…

The use of cash transfers for HIV prevention — are we there yet
Poverty and social inequality are significant drivers of the HIV epidemic and are risk factors for acquiring HIV. As such, many individuals worldwide are at risk for new HIV infection, especially young women in East and Southern Africa. By addressing these drivers, social protection programmes may mitigate the impact of poverty and social inequality on HIV risk. There is reason to believe that social protection can be used successfully for HIV pr…
Dry sex in Zimbabwe and implications for condom use
HIV/Aids/STD in Africa
The 8th International AIDS Conference/3rd World STD Congress underscored the need to control sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) as a means of preventing AIDS. Over the course of the AIDS pandemic severely affected countries have gained much insight into how to prevent HIV transmission. This knowledge however comes too late for many countries to usefully employ. Other countries still have time to take concerted action against the spread of HIV. …
Aids in Africa
Works on epidemiological, and social and behavioral science aspects of AIDS prevention and support in Africa are reviewed from the 7th Conference on AIDS. Participants were especially concerned with why AIDS spreads at disparate rates in different countries and regions of the world. Research on the casual factors of the spread of HIV generally focused upon patterns of sex behavior, the presence of other STDs, and the effect of circumcision. The r…
Cross-Cultural Cross-Validation of the Junior Eysenck Personality Questionnaire among Zimbabwean School Children
For 568 boys and 698 girls (ages 8 to 17 years), Neuroticism scores were reliable and factorially valid for both sexes but reliability and validity for Extraversion were modest and, while reliable, 45% of Lie scale items did not load on their factor of origin. Also, Psychoticism scores were unreliable and factorially invalid. Careful item analyses must be undertaken and the construct of psychoticism verified
Health knowledge and beliefs as predictors of intended condom use among Zimbabwean adolescents in probation/remand homes
The association of AIDS knowledge, perceived susceptibility to HIV, efficacy of preventive measures, severity of HIV infection, cues to action, barriers to action and alcohol/drug use with intended condom use was examined among Zimbabwean adolescents (mean age = 16.9) in probation/remand homes. Eighty-six percent of males and 83% of females were reportedly sexually experienced of whom 28% of males and 14% of females reported consistent condom use…
Cognitive Benefits of Logo and Computer-Aided Instruction among Zimbabwean Schoolgirls
There is evidence for (2) and against (5) Papert's (4) claim that the educational computing language LOGO fosters cognitive growth. Mundy-Castle and colleagues (3) argue that the social emphasis of LOGO is especially fitting among African children, whose cultures emphasize socially-oriented cognitive skills (1). They found that, in comparison to those who received no computer exposure, black Zimbabwean girls who did LOGO showed significantly grea…

Locus of Control and Burnout among Nurses in Zimbabwe
Lefcourt (1981) argued that individuals who believe they lack control over stressful situations may experience greater occupational stress. This premise is supported by modest correlations between external locus of control scores and teachers' stress in societies as diverse as Britain (Kyriacou & Sutcliffe, 1979) and Singapore (Soh, 1986). The present study examined the relationship between locus-of-control scores and the specific stress conditio…

Fossil Bison and Artifacts From an Early Altithermal Period Arroyo Trap in Wyoming
The Hawken site is a steep-sided arroyo into which small groups of bison were driven and slaughtered. The bison, which date about 4500 B.C. during the Altithermal period, are an extinct variant (B. bison occidentalis) and are morphologically intermediate between B. bison antiquus and B. bison bison. The projectile points are in the Altithermal period Side-Notched tradition and the butchering tools are similar to those found in many bison kill sit…
The Knowe of Lairo, Rousay, Orkney
Excavations conducted in 1936 resulted in the discovery of a chamber possessing unique features at the east end of the mound, of indications of a northern horn at this end, and in the definition of the revetment wall of the mound and horns along the south side. The chamber is of exceptional height and has three compartments. A polished celt and two pottery sherds were recovered
