Factors shaping understanding and interpretation of sexual practice survey questions in south-central Uganda
BACKGROUND: Accurate interpretation of survey questions about sensitive matters such as sexual practices is crucial for obtaining reliable data to inform effective public health interventions. Describing sexual practices involves reflecting on acts and contextually attributing meanings. However, participants in sexual behaviour studies may struggle to understand questions, affecting the validity of the data. AIM: We investigated factors that shap…
Cognitive interviewing for understanding and adaptation of mental health screening instruments among people living with HIV in rakai, Uganda
Background Mental health is conceptualized differently across cultures, making exploration of the understandability of screening tools for the purpose of adaptation critical. Methods In Uganda, we used cognitive interviewing to understand comprehension of and make adaptations to three scales for measuring psychological distress: the Thinking Too Much (TTM) Questionnaire, the Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9), and the Hopkins Symptoms Checkli…
Identifying longitudinal patterns of HIV treatment (dis)engagement and re-engagement from oral histories of virologically unsuppressed persons in Uganda
When Coffee Collapsed
In some Ugandan fishing communities, almost half the population lives with HIV. Researchers designate these communities "HIV hotspots" and attribute disproportionate disease burdens to "sex-for-fish" relationships endemic to the lakeshores. In this article, we trace the emergence of Uganda's HIV hotspots to structural adjustment. We show how global economic policies negotiated in the 1990s precipitated the collapse of Uganda's coffee sector, caus…

Antiretroviral treatment sharing among highly mobile Ugandan fisherfolk living with HIV
Antiretroviral treatment (ART) diversion from prescribed to non-prescribed users (i.e., sharing or selling) is an understudied dimension of HIV treatment adherence. We sought to explore ART diversion patterns in high-prevalence fishing communities on Lake Victoria, Uganda. We implemented a qualitative study in two fishing communities on Lake Victoria in south-central Uganda to identify facilitators of and pathways to ART diversion. We conducted 2…
