  • Health system and social determinants influencing potential PrEP access among young men in rural Mpumalanga, South Africa

    Open AccessHannah H Leslie, Madeline Griffith et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2025

    Young heterosexual men face HIV risk in South Africa's generalized HIV epidemic. Although many men express interest in biomedical pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), uptake of daily oral PrEP has been slow. Enhancing access to standard and alternative health care providers offering PrEP services could increase men's uptake as product options expand. We conducted in-depth interviews with 13 young men and 9 health system stakeholders in the rural Ehla…

    Open AccessDeborah Baron, Hannah H Leslie et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2024References: 34

    Despite established efficacy for oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in reducing HIV incidence, multi-level barriers within the health system, clinics, and the processes that shape practice have hindered service delivery and subsequent population-level effects. We applied the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) to assess the context of PrEP delivery for adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) in rural South Africa and ident…

  • Realising radical potential

    Open AccessDenny Mabetha, Temitope Ojewola et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2023

    Community power-building in rural PHC was multidimensional, non-linear, and deeply relational. Collective mindsets and capabilities for joint action and learning were built through a pragmatic, cooperative, adaptive process, creating spaces where people could produce and use evidence to make decisions. Impacts were seen in demand for implementation outside the study setting. We offer a practice framework to expand community power in PHC: (1) prio…

    Open AccessLucia D’ambruoso, Denny Mabetha et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    There is limited operational understanding of multisectoral action in health inclusive of communities as active change agents. The objectives were to: (a) develop community-led action-learning, advancing multisectoral responses for local public health problems; and (b) derive transferrable learning. Participants representing communities, government departments and non-governmental organisations in a rural district in South Africa co-designed the …

  • Burden of mortality linked to community-nominated priorities in rural South Africa

    Open AccessPyry Mattila, Justine Ina Davies et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2022

OBJECTIVE: To determine the burden of mortality reflecting community-nominated health risk factors in rural South Africa, where a complex health transition is underway. METHODS: Three discussion groups (total 48 participants) representing a cross-section of the c…

  • Developing stakeholder participation to address lack of safe water as a community health concern in a rural province in South Africa

    Open AccessJennifer Hove, Lucia D’ambruoso et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2021

    BACKGROUND: Despite legislative and policy commitments to participatory water governance in South Africa, and some remarkable achievements, there has been limited progress to improve the water infrastructure servicing in marginalized rural communities. Around five million South Africans still do not have access to safe water. OBJECTIVE: This paper seeks to understand and advance processes to engage multisectoral stakeholders to respond to lack of…

  • Building cooperative learning to address alcohol and other drug abuse in Mpumalanga, South Africa

    Open AccessOladapo Oladeinde, Denny Mabetha et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2020

    There is significant willingness and capacity among community stakeholders to work in partnership with authorities to address priority health concerns. As a process, participation can help to raise and frame issues, which may help to better inform action and encourage shared responsibility. Broader understandings of participation require reference to, and ultimately transfer of power towards, those most directly affected, developing community voi…
