Adolescent Girls' Agency in an Integrated Sexual and Reproductive Health and Economic Empowerment Intervention Pilot
INTRODUCTION: Adolescence is a time of unique vulnerability for many girls, however, when supported to strengthen their capabilities, resources, and agency, adolescents can thrive even in adverse situations. This study sought to evaluate agency outcomes (decision-making power, mobility, and self-efficacy) among girls aged 15-19 participating in integrated sexual and reproductive health and economic empowerment interventions in Ethiopia and Nigeri…
The political economy of adolescent mental health in Kenya
Adolescent mental health remains a critical yet under-prioritized issue in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) like Kenya, where resource limitations, stigma, and systemic barriers hinder access to care. While policies and strategies such as Kenya's Mental Health Action Plan (2021–2025) exist on paper, their implementation is constrained by limited resources and a weak mental health service delivery infrastructure. This qualitative descripti…
Depression and Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) in mothers 6 weeks to 12 months post-delivery in a rural setting in Kenya
Using a cohort of 544 postpartum mothers, 6 weeks to 12 months post-delivery in the largely rural Makueni County in Kenya, we aimed to determine: (1) the prevalence of postpartum depression (PPD) and the prevalence of each of the four domains of intimate partner violence (IPV), that is physical violence, sexual violence, emotional violence, and controlling behavior; (2) the co-occurrence of PPD and IPV; (3) risk factors and associations between s…
Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) for screening for depression in the first year post delivery in a low-resourced rural setting in Kenya
Postnatal depression is one of the most common mental disorders among postnatal mothers and may have severe consequences for mothers and their children. Locally validated screening tools that can be self- or lay interviewer-administered are required to identify at-risk women, especially in settings with no mental health specialists. This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of a culturally adapted version of the Edinburgh Postnatal …
Unemployment in women with psychosocial disabilities during the Covid‐19 pandemic

This study aimed to explore the experiences of women with psychosocial disabilities in Kenya during the pandemic. We found that the pandemic worsened their experiences of work and employment, and they did not receive any social welfare or support from…

Additionally, we identify key psychosocial risk factors that influence stigma and PPD among women attending Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT) clinics. Methods: In this cross-sectional design, 123 women living with HIV were recruited. Participants ages between 18 and…

Substance Use among a Sample of Healthcare Workers in Kenya
This study describes reported substance use among Kenyan healthcare workers (HCWs), as it has implications for HCWs' health, productivity, and their ability and likelihood to intervene on substance use. The Alcohol Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST) was administered to a convenience sample of HCWs (n = 206) in 15 health facilities. Reported lifetime use was 35.8% for alcohol, 23.5% for tobacco, 9.3% for cannabis, 9.3% for s…
