Thoughts of Death or Self-injury, Non-same-day ART Initiation, and 2-year Incidence of Disengagement from Care Among People Entering HIV Care in Cameroon
Thoughts of death or self-injury and the clinical implications of such thoughts remain largely underassessed among people with HIV (PWH) in Africa. As strong predictors of suicidal ideation and death by suicide, it is paramount to understand these risk indicators, particularly in populations with heightened susceptibility to poor mental health. We aimed to characterize thoughts of death or self-injury (i.e., self-injurious thoughts) and their rel…
Self-Reported Advantages and Disadvantages of Online Networking About Opioid Misuse Among Those Who Have or Are Currently Misusing Opioids
Introduction The opioid crisis is a significant public health concern. Online social networking platforms allow individuals with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) to connect with others with shared experiences, which may combat treatment barriers. This study explored the self-reported advantages and disadvantages of engaging with social media content related to opioid misuse.Methods Participants who reported ever misusing opioids (n = 248) were recruited…
Gender, mental health symptoms, loss to clinic, and viral non-suppression 6 months after HIV care initiation among a cohort of people with HIV in Cameroon
Men initiating HIV care with poor mental health may be particularly vulnerable to unstable care engagement and viral non-suppression. Interventions are needed for men specifically to foster improved mental health

Psychometric Validation of the East Africa Alcohol Expectancy Scale (Afexs) for Youth Living with HIV in Southwestern Uganda
Intersectional HIV- and Depression-Related Stigma Among People with HIV Entering HIV Care in Cameroon
Using Social Media to Examine Themes Surrounding Fentanyl Misuse and Risk Indicators
Background: Opioid misuse is a crisis in the United States, and synthetic opioids such as fentanyl pose risks for overdose and mortality. Individuals who misuse substances commonly seek information and support online due to stigma and legal concerns, and this online networking may provide insight for substance misuse prevention and treatment. We aimed to characterize topics in substance-misuse related discourse among members of an online fentanyl…
Sexual Health Behaviors and Knowledge Among Ugandan Adolescent Girls
Understanding the effects of universal test and treat on longitudinal HIV care outcomes among South African youth
Implementation of UTT yielded modest improvements in time spent on ART and virally suppressed among South African YLHIV- however, meeting UNAIDS' 95-95-95 targets remains a challenge. Retention in care and re-engagement interventions that can be implemented between diagnosis and linkage to care and between ART initiation and viral suppression (e.g., longitudinal counseling) may be particularly important to improving care outcomes among South Afri…
Coping Strategies and Symptoms of Mental Health Disorders Among People with HIV Initiating HIV Care in Cameroon
Little is known about the coping strategies used among people with HIV (PWH), especially in sub-Saharan Africa, and the extent to which adaptive or maladaptive coping strategies are associated with symptoms of mental health disorders. We interviewed 426 PWH initiating HIV care in Cameroon and reported the prevalence of adaptive and maladaptive coping strategies, overall and by presence of symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Log binominal r…
Examining Symptoms of Stimulant Misuse and Community Support Among Members of a Recovery-Oriented Online Community
Misuse of prescription and non-prescription stimulants and related overdose deaths represent a growing public health crisis that warrants immediate intervention. We examined 100 posts and their respective comments from a public, recovery-oriented Reddit community in January 2021 to explore content related to DSM-V stimulant use disorder symptoms, access and barriers to recovery, and peer support. Using inductive and deductive methods, a codebook …
Understanding Oral Prep Interest Among South African Adolescents
Racial/Ethnic and Age Differences in the Direct and Indirect Effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic on US Mortality
Objectives. To estimate the direct and indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on overall, race/ethnicity‒specific, and age-specific mortality in 2020 in the United States. Methods. Using surveillance data, we modeled expected mortality, compared it to observed mortality, and estimated the share of “excess” mortality that was indirectly attributable to the pandemic versus directly attributed to COVID-19. We present absolute risks and proportion…
Underestimation of potentially traumatic events resulting from underreporting of physical and sexual violence among people entering care for HIV in Cameroon
PTE assessment tools should assess exposure to behaviorally specific acts of violence to ensure appropriate referral to services among survivors of IPV. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)
Associations Between Key Psychosocial Stressors and Viral Suppression and Retention in Care Among Youth with HIV in Rural South Africa
Despite improvements in access to antiretroviral treatment over the past decade, sub-optimal HIV care outcomes persist among youth with HIV (YWH) in rural South Africa. Psychosocial stressors could impede improved HIV treatment outcomes within this population. We linked self-reported psychosocial health and demographic data from a cross-sectional survey conducted among YWH aged 12-24 in rural South Africa to individual medical record data, includ…
