Influence of alcohol-serving venue characteristics on yield of HIV status-neutral screening in rural East Africa
Open AccessJanice Litunya, Brian Beesiga et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026
Alcohol-serving venues are high-risk sites for HIV transmission in East Africa. Understanding how venue characteristics influence HIV screening outcomes may help to target venue-based outreach. In eight rural communities in Kenya and Uganda, we mapped all alcohol-serving venues (N = 530) and invited owners to participate in a cluster-randomized trial to promote biomedical HIV prevention uptake: 527 (99%) owners agreed to participate. We distribut…
Perceived benefits of community-based TB preventive treatment in children in Uganda
Open AccessElijah Kakande, Jason Johnson-Peretz et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026
Tuberculosis preventive treatment (TPT) uptake among children at risk for TB remains low in sub-Saharan Africa. Community-based TPT delivery is effective at increasing uptake and completion in children compared to clinic-based models, but implementation research is needed to inform scale-up in real-world settings. In this qualitative study, we assessed community and health care provider perspectives on the anticipated benefits and barriers of a c…
Association between Levels of Alcohol Use, Perceived HIV Risk, and Untreated HIV Among Persons at Alcohol-Serving Venues in Kenya and Uganda
Open AccessBrian Beesiga, Janice Litunya et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2026
Alcohol-serving venues in East Africa are high-risk environments for HIV transmission but few studies in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) have examined perceived HIV risk and sexual risk behaviors by alcohol use levels on a broader population of persons at alcohol-serving venues in the era of biomedical HIV prevention. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of adults (≥ 18 years) at alcohol-serving venues in eight communities (~ 10,000 residents/communi…

Five lessons from a mid-level health manager intervention to increase uptake of tuberculosis prevention therapy in Uganda
Open AccessJason Johnson-Peretz, Chester Christian et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2024
BACKGROUND: Leadership skills are essential for middle-level healthcare manager efficacy. Capacity-building efforts may attempt behavioural change by filling 'knowledge gaps' while neglecting a sustainable application of that knowledge. Sustainable application of that knowledge, or implementation know-how, must resonate with local cultural patterns. When it is neglected, root issues like unclear decision-making space and local authority to interp…
Illness Narratives Without the Illness
Open AccessJason Johnson-Peretz, Fredrick Atwine et al.ARTICLEJournal of Medical Humanities2024
Illness narratives invite practitioners to understand how biomedical and traditional health information is incorporated, integrated, or otherwise internalized into a patient’s own sense of self and social identity. Such narratives also reveal cultural values, underlying patterns in society, and the overall life context of the narrator. Most illness narratives have been examined from the perspective of European-derived genres and literary theory, …
