  • Climate change, livelihoods, gender and violence in Rukiga, Uganda

    Open AccessRichard Muhumuza, M Colombini et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Climate change disproportionately affects poorer countries like Uganda, intensifying poverty and livelihood stress, which can escalate gender-based violence (GBV). Although the parent study was not designed to focus on GBV, GBV emerged repeatedly during interviews and focus groups; this paper presents a GBV-focused thematic analysis of those narratives. Particularly, we examine how GBV interconnects with poverty, shifting gender roles, alcoholism…

  • “Resilience amidst challenges”

    Open AccessRachel Kawuma, Joseph Katongole et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Primary healthcare (PHC) systems are the first point of contact for healthcare users and are critical for disease prevention and early treatment. The COVID-19 pandemic overwhelmed PHC systems globally, including in sub-Saharan Africa, significantly impacting access to essential services. We describe the experiences of community PHC users’ accessing and utilizing health services at 15 purposively selected health centers during the COVID-19 pandemi…

  • Kangaroo mother care prior to clinical stabilisation

    Open AccessVictor S Tumukunde, Joseph Katongole et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Kangaroo mother care (KMC) is an evidence-based method to improve newborn survival. However, scale-up even for stable newborns has been slow, with reported barriers to implementation. We examined facilitators and barriers to initiating KMC before stabilisation amongst neonates recruited to the OMWaNA study in Uganda. The OMWaNA study was a randomised controlled trial that examined the mortality effect of KMC prior to stabilisation amongst newborn…

  • Antiretroviral therapy and changing patterns of HIV stigmatisation in Entebbe, Uganda

    Open AccessSteve Russell, Flavia Zalwango et al.ARTICLESociology of Health & Illness2016Citada por: 3Referências: 14

    Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has the potential to change processes of HIV stigmatisation. In this article, changing processes of stigmatisation among a group of people living with HIV (PLWH) on ART in Wakiso District, Uganda, are analysed using qualitative data from a study of PLWH's self-management of HIV on ART. There were 38 respondents (20 women, 18 men) who had been taking ART for at least 1 year. They were purposefully selected from governm…

  • Hope

    Open AccessT Barnett, Janet Seeley et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2015

    This paper presents the first empirical results of a long-term project exploring the use of hope as a concept summarising people's experience of the social, economic and cultural world they inhabit. The work has its roots in attempts to understand socio-economic aspects of HIV/AIDS epidemiology through recourse to the term 'structural drivers'. In this paper, we recognise the distinguished contribution made by that body of work but adopt a differ…

  • Evaluation of Respondent-driven Sampling

    Nicky McCreesh, Simon D W Frost et al.ARTICLEEpidemiology2012

    BACKGROUND: Respondent-driven sampling is a novel variant of link-tracing sampling for estimating the characteristics of hard-to-reach groups, such as HIV prevalence in sex workers. Despite its use by leading health organizations, the performance of this method in realistic situations is still largely unknown. We evaluated respondent-driven sampling by comparing estimates from a respondent-driven sampling survey with total population data. METHOD…

  • Community understanding of respondent-driven sampling in a medical research setting in Uganda

    Nicky McCreesh, Matilda Nadagire Tarsh et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Social…2012Citada por: 3Referências: 3

    Respondent-driven sampling (RDS) is a widely-used variant of snowball sampling. Respondents are selected not from a sampling frame, but from a social network of existing members of the sample. Incentives are provided for participation and for the recruitment of others. Ethical and methodological criticisms have been raised about RDS. Our purpose was to evaluate whether these criticisms were justified. In this study RDS was used to recruit male ho…
