  • Exploring a syndemic of poverty, cumulative violence, and HIV vulnerability among refugee youth

    Carmen H Logie, Miranda G Loutet et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2024

    Synergistic associations between social inequities and HIV vulnerabilities – known as a syndemic – are understudied with youth in humanitarian settings. We explored refugee youths’ HIV prevention needs in Bidi Bidi Refugee Settlement, Uganda. This multi-methods study involved 6 focus groups and 12 in-depth individual interviews (IDI) with refugee youth (n = 60) aged 16–24, and IDI with refugee elders (n = 8) and healthcare providers (n = 8). We t…

  • Contextualizing HIV testing experiences within the HIV prevention cascade

    Open AccessCarmen H Logie, Moses Okumu et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    Complex, multi-level factors shape motivation for, access to, and effective use of HIV testing among refugee youth in Bidi Bidi. Findings align with the HIV prevention cascade framework that helps to identify gaps to inform intervention development with youth in humanitarian settings. HIV testing approaches tailored for refugee youth in contexts such as Bidi Bidi can foster HIV prevention and treatment literacy, gender equity, gender-based violen…

  • Multi-method findings on Covid-19 vaccine acceptability among urban refugee adolescents and youth in Kampala, Uganda

    Open AccessCarmen H Logie, Moses Okumu et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2023

    Scant studies have explored COVID-19 vaccine acceptability among refugees. However, contexts of forced migration may elevate COVID-19 vulnerabilities, and suboptimal refugee immunisation rates are reported for other vaccine-preventable diseases. We conducted a multi-methods study to describe COVID-19 vaccine acceptability among urban refugee youth in Kampala, Uganda. This study uses cross-sectional survey data from a cohort study with refugees ag…

  • Qualitative Comic Book Mapping

    Open AccessCarmen H Logie, Moses Okumu et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2023Citada por: 3Referencias: 35

    Sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) is a persistent concern in humanitarian contexts, yet there is a dearth of SGBV prevention and post-rape clinical care interventions tailored for refugee youth. Graphic medicine, the use of images and text such as in comic books, has been employed to depict lived experiences to promote health, wellbeing, and education. Comic books provide a low-cost, youth-friendly approach to health promotion that is acces…

  • Physical Health of Older Canadians

    Open AccessAlyssa Mcalpine, Usha George et al.ARTICLEThe International Journal of…2022

    It is unclear whether racial or nativity health disparities exist among older Canadians and what social and economic disadvantages may contribute to these differences. Secondary analysis of data collected from respondents aged 55 and older in the Canadian General Social Survey 27 was performed. The outcome variable was self-reported physical health. Compared to racialized immigrants, white immigrant and Canadian-born respondents had approximately…

  • Ngutulu Kagwero (agents of change)

    Open AccessCarmen H Logie, Moses Okumu et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2021

    With over 1.4 million refugees, Uganda is Sub-Saharan Africa's largest refugee-hosting nation. Bidi Bidi, Uganda's largest refugee settlement, hosts over 230,000 residents. There is a dearth of evidence-based sexual violence prevention and post-rape clinical care interventions in low- and middle-income humanitarian contexts tailored for refugee youth. Graphic medicine refers to juxtaposing images and narratives, often through using comics, to con…
