Associations Between Healthcare Discrimination, Medical Mistrust, and Covid-19 Vaccine Uptake Among Young Black Adults in the Southern United States
Open AccessIbrahim Yigit, Alejandro Báez et al.ARTICLEJournal of Racial and Ethnic…2026
Racial inequities related to COVID-19 exposure, morbidity, mortality, and access to care in the United States (U.S.) are notable, and COVID-19 vaccine uptake is lower among Black Americans than White Americans. Yet, mechanisms linking healthcare experiences to COVID-19 vaccination behavior among young adults are not well characterized. We analyzed cross-sectional data collected between March and June 2023 from 360 Black young adults (ages 18–29) …

Stress-responsive biomarkers and sexual behaviors among young women in rural South Africa
Open AccessNicole K Kelly, Marie C D Stoner et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Behavioral Medicine2025Referencias: 65
BACKGROUND: Adolescence is a critical period when youth develop their decision-making skills and may engage in their first sexual encounters. Stress during this time can affect decision making; however, limited research has examined the relationship between biological stress correlates and sexual behavior among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) in high-HIV incidence areas. PURPOSE: To examine whether stress-responsive biomarkers are longitu…
Trajectories of intimate partner violence and their relationship to stress among young women in South Africa
Open AccessNicole K Kelly, Nivedita L Bhushan et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Social…2024
BACKGROUND: One in four South African women will experience intimate partner violence (IPV) in their lifetime, potentially increasing their biological stress. In South Africa, limited IPV and stress research has utilized multiple timepoints or examined modifying factors. Cash transfers (CTs) are associated with reduced IPV and stress and may be an intervention target. AIMS: We used data-driven methods to identify longitudinal IPV trajectory group…

Assessing the durability of a cash transfer on physical intimate partner violence and sexual relationships among adolescent girls and young women in rural South Africa
Open AccessAllison K Groves, Luwam T Gebrekristos et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2024Referencias: 32
The cash transfer reduced AGYW's risk of IPV, though effects were attenuated after the cash ended. Provision of cash during adolescence - a period when AGYW are highly susceptible to IPV and HIV - may empower them in their current relationship and yield long term health benefits

Effectiveness of a national mass distribution campaign of long-lasting insecticide-treated nets and indoor residual spraying on clinical malaria in Malawi, 2018–2020
Open AccessHillary Mariko Topazian, Austin Gumbo et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021
INTRODUCTION: Malawi's malaria burden is primarily assessed via cross-sectional national household surveys. However, malaria is spatially and temporally heterogenous and no analyses have been performed at a subdistrict level throughout the course of a year. The WHO recommends mass distribution of long-lasting insecticide-treated bed nets (LLINs) every 3 years, but a national longitudinal evaluation has never been conducted in Malawi to determine …
Individual and Relationship-Level Correlates of Transactional Sex Among Adolescent Girls and Young Women in Malawi
Open AccessMargaret W Gichane, Nora E Rosenberg et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2021
Transactional sex increases HIV risk among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW). Understanding the individual and dyadic nature of transactional sex may provide evidence for risk reduction interventions. Multilevel logistic regression was used to cross-sectionally examine correlates of transactional sex among AGYW in Lilongwe, Malawi. Participants (N = 920) reported 1227 relationships. Individual-level associations were found between being div…

Contraceptive Conversations among Adolescent Girls and Young Women and Their Partners, Peers, and Older Female Family Members in Lilongwe, Malawi
Open AccessNivedita L Bhushan, Twambilile Phanga et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning2021Citada por: 1Referencias: 38
In sub‐Saharan Africa, adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) have high levels of unmet need for contraception, particularly those who are unmarried or nulliparous. Conversations with partners, peers, and family members influence AGYW contraceptive decision‐making yet little is known about conversation content and impact or how they vary by relationship status and parity. This paper draws on qualitative data from 60 AGYW (aged 15–24) participati…
Association Between Depression and HIV Care Engagement Outcomes Among Patients Newly Initiating ART in Lilongwe, Malawi
Open AccessMelissa A Stockton, Bradley N Gaynes et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2020
As in other sub-Saharan countries, the burden of depression is high among people living with HIV in Malawi. However, the association between depression at ART initiation and two critical outcomes-retention in HIV care and viral suppression-is not well understood. Prior to the launch of an integrated depression treatment program, adult patients were screened for depression at ART initiation at two clinics in Lilongwe, Malawi. We compared retention…

Community collective efficacy is associated with reduced physical intimate partner violence (IPV) incidence in the rural province of Mpumalanga, South Africa
Anna M Leddy, Sheri A Lippman et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2019Referencias: 34
BACKGROUND: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a human rights violation and is associated with a variety of adverse physical and mental health outcomes. Collective efficacy, defined as mutual trust among community members and willingness to intervene on the behalf of the common good, has been associated with reduced neighbourhood violence. Limited research has explored whether community collective efficacy is associated with reduced incidence of …

Collective efficacy, alcohol outlet density, and young men’s alcohol use in rural South Africa
Open AccessHannah H Leslie, John Ahern et al.ARTICLEHealth & Place2015Citada por: 2Referencias: 4
Alcohol use contributes to morbidity and mortality in developing countries by increasing the risk of trauma and disease, including alcohol dependence. Limited research addresses determinants of alcohol use beyond the individual level in sub-Saharan Africa. We test the association of community collective efficacy and alcohol outlet density with young men's drinking in a cross-sectional, locally representative survey conducted in rural northeast So…

Objectives. We assessed agreement of reported gender of sex partners in 2 statewide HIV databases linked by client identifiers. Methods. Counseling, testing, and referral (CTR) records on all men aged 18 to 30 years who tested newly positive for HIV in North Carolina between 2000 and 2005 were matched to data abstracted from partner counseling and referral services (PCRS) records. We compared client-reported gender of sex partners at the time of …

OBJECTIVES: To determine the prevalence of HIV infection, HIV risk factors, and exposure to national HIV prevention programs, and to identify factors associated with HIV infection among South African youth, aged 15-24 years. DESIGN: A cross-sectional, nationally representative, household survey. METHODS: From March to August 2003 we conducted a national survey of HIV prevalence and sexual behavior among 11 904 15-24 year olds. Multivariable model…
Sexual Power and HIV Risk, South Africa1
Open AccessAudrey Pettifor, Audrey E Pettifor et al.ARTICLEEmerging infectious diseases2004
Gender power inequities are believed to play a key role in the HIV epidemic through their effects on women's power in sexual relationships. We hypothesized that lack of sexual power, measured with a four-point relationship control scale and by a woman's experience of forced sex with her most recent partner, would decrease the likelihood of consistent condom use and increase the risk for HIV infection among sexually experienced, 15- to 24-year-old…
