This is a cross-sectional study of 40,820 U.S. children aged 6–17 used survey-weighted logistic regression on the 2021–22 National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH) data. The study examined whether interpersonal factors such as bullying, poor mo…

Sociodemographic patterns of preterm birth and low birth weight among pregnant women in rural Mysore district, India
Few studies have utilized person-centered approaches to examine co-occurrence of risk factors among pregnant women in low-and middle-income settings. The objective of this study was to utilize latent class analysis (LCA) to identify sociodemographic patterns and assess the association of these patterns on preterm birth (PTB) and/or low birth weight (LBW) in rural Mysore District, India. Secondary data analysis of a prospective cohort study among …
Will increasing access to mental health treatment close India's mental health gap
India's National Mental Health Survey (NMHS) reports a treatment gap for common mental disorders of over 85 percent, which they attribute to lack of awareness and access to psychiatric services in India. Interventions aiming to close that treatment gap through task-sharing have gained significant traction in India, but have met with mixed success, particularly in long-term perspective. We critically examined the fundamental assumptions embedded i…
Prevalence and correlates of metabolic syndrome among women living in urban slums, Mysore, India
Metabolic Syndrome (MetSyn) is a predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD). About a third of urban Indians suffer from MetSyn. This study examined the prevalence of MetSyn among women living in urban slums. A cross-sectional survey was carried out between October 2017 and May 2018 among a non-probability sample of slum-dwelling women, 40–64 years of age, in six government-designated slums in Mysore, India. Data were collected on demographics, die…
Polysubstance use and adherence to antiretroviral treatment in the Miami Adult Studies on HIV (Mash) cohort
Evidence for a relationship between polysubstance use, depression, and adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) is limited. The objectives of this study were to examine the associations of depression, illicit drug, and alcohol use with adherence to ART. People living with HIV (PLHIV) from the Miami Adult Studies on HIV cohort were asked about the number of doses of their ART medication missed to assess ART adherence. Harmful alcohol drinking was…

Conceptual and methodological challenges in idioms of distress research
Research premised on the construct of idioms of distress has proliferated in the last 40 years. The aim of this work is to foreground the experiential and socially adaptive functions of cultural expressions of distress around the world. Researchers who work in this field often begin from very different starting points in terms of their prior knowledge of the research context, their interest in theoretical or applied implications of their work, an…
An Integrated Approach to Improve Maternal Mental Health and Well-Being During the Covid-19 Crisis
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has led to disruption of normal life across the globe, severely affecting the already vulnerable populations such as the pregnant women. Maternal mental health and well-being is a public health priority and the evidence about the impact of COVID-19 on mental health status of pregnant women is gradually emerging. The findings of the recently published studies suggest that increased risk perception about contracting CO…
Family and cultural influences on cervical cancer screening among immigrant Latinas in Miami-Dade County, USA
Cervical cancer disproportionately affects minorities, immigrants and low-income women in the USA, with disparities greatest among Latino immigrants. We examined barriers and facilitators to cervical cancer screening practices among a group of immigrant Latino women in Florida, USA. Between January and May 2013, six focus group discussions, involving 35 participants, were conducted among Hispanic women in Miami to explore their knowledge, beliefs…
HIV testing among pregnant women living with HIV in India
BACKGROUND: In India, approximately 49,000 women living with HIV become pregnant and deliver each year. While the government of India has made progress increasing the availability of prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) services, only about one quarter of pregnant women received an HIV test in 2010, and about one-in-five that were found positive for HIV received interventions to prevent vertical transmission of HIV. METHODS: …
Are marginalized women being left behind? A population-based study of institutional deliveries in Karnataka, India
The results of the study suggest that while the Indian Government has made significant progress in increasing antenatal care and institutional deliveries among rural populations, further success in lowering maternal mortality will likely hinge on the success of NRHM programs focused on serving marginalized groups. Health interventions which target SC/ST may also have to address both perceived and actual stigma and discrimination, in addition to p…
Traditional birth attendants lack basic information on HIV and safe delivery practices in rural Mysore, India
Traditional birth attendants will continue to play an important role in maternal child health in India for the foreseeable future. This study demonstrates that a majority of TBA lack basic information about HIV/AIDS and safe delivery practices. Given the ongoing shortage of skilled birth attendance in rural areas, more studies are needed to examine whether TBA should be trained and integrated into PMTCT and maternal child health programs in India
Novel recruitment strategies to increase participation of women in reproductive health research in India
In India, care seeking for reproductive health among women is inadequate. This poses a unique challenge to researchers recruiting cohorts for studies in clinic-based settings. The purpose of this paper is to describe the recruitment process used in a prospective cohort study investigating the relationship between bacterial vaginosis and acquisition of HSV-2 among sexually active women in Mysore, India. Participants were initially recruited from a…
