When you have no water, it means you have no peace
Prevalence and correlates of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and chronic respiratory symptoms in rural southwestern Uganda
BACKGROUND: The global burden of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) disproportionately affects resource-limited settings such as sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), but population-based prevalence estimates in SSA are rare. We aimed to estimate the population prevalence of COPD and chronic respiratory symptoms in rural southwestern Uganda. METHODS: Adults at least 18 years of age who participated in a population-wide census in rural southwestern …
Community beliefs, HIV stigma, and depression among adolescents living with HIV in rural Uganda
The availability of and increased access to antiretroviral therapy (ART) has significantly reduced the morbidity and mortality associated with HIV. As a result, perinatally infected youth are increasingly able to reach adolescence. There is limited information about the psychosocial challenges facing adolescents living with HIV (ALWH) in rural settings of sub-Saharan Africa. We sought to understand psychosocial challenges facing ALWH in rural Uga…
Smoking cessation after engagement in HIV care in rural Uganda
People living with HIV (PLWH) are more likely to smoke compared to HIV-uninfected counterparts, but little is known about smoking behaviors in sub-Saharan Africa. To address this gap in knowledge, we characterized smoking cessation patterns among people living with HIV (PLWH) compared to HIV-uninfected individuals in rural Uganda. PLWH were at least 40 years of age and on antiretroviral therapy for at least three years, and HIV-uninfected individ…
Development and validation of a 20-item screening scale to detect major depressive disorder among adolescents with HIV in rural Uganda
This new 20-item depression scale was reliable and valid for detecting major depressive disorder among ALWH in rural Uganda
Water insecurity and gendered risk for depression in rural Uganda
Residing in a water insecurity hotspot is associated with greater risk for probable depression among women, but not among men, pointing to the need for focused depression screening among women residing in water insecure households
Household water insecurity, missed schooling, and the mediating role of caregiver depression in rural Uganda
Water insecurity is a risk factor for missed schooling among children in rural Uganda. Caregiver depression partially mediated this relationship. Also addressing caregiver mental health in water insecure families may more fully address the needs of sub-Saharan African families and promote educational participation among youth
Reliability, Validity, and Factor Structure of the Hopkins Symptom Checklist-25
Population-based study of intra-household gender differences in water insecurity
Hundreds of millions of people worldwide lack adequate access to water. Water insecurity, which is defined as having limited or uncertain availability of safe water or the ability to acquire safe water in socially acceptable ways, is typically overlooked by development organizations focusing on water availability. To address the urgent need in the literature for validated measures of water insecurity, we conducted a population-based study in rura…
