A realist inspired barriers and facilitators evaluation of the co-creation process in the Youth-centred Participatory Action Project
This study examined barriers and facilitators of the first phase of the co-creation process as part of the Youth-centred Participatory Action (YoPA) project, a multi-country co-creation initiative to address health inequities by engaging adolescents in Denmark, Nigeria, South Africa, and the Netherlands. Using a qualitative design informed by implementation science and realist thinking, we analysed data from 22 transcripts of semi-structured inte…
Adolescent readiness for mobile mental health support in Soweto
Poor mental health is a growing issue among adolescents, with untreated conditions persisting into adulthood and typically increasing in severity. South Africa's mental health legislation faces key barriers to implementation due to limited access to treatment and support, as well as persistent challenges related to stigma, privacy concerns and affordability. Mobile mental health (M-mHealth) could be a sustainable and scalable alternative for redu…
Simple Solutions for Complex Problems
Background Mental health challenges are among the most critical health issues facing young people in low‐ and middle‐income countries, but with limited resources. Nearly half of adult mental health conditions begin by age 14, making adolescence a critical period for mental health promotion and intervention. Mobile mental health (M‐mHealth) interventions have been promoted as sustainable and scalable in terms of reach and impact. Research on adole…
The health status of South African youth joining Youth Employment Initiatives
Youth Employment Initiatives (YEIs) support young adults to enhance their employability but infrequently consider their health. This study assessed the physical and mental health of South African youth starting YEIs to understand the need for integrated health service components. Youth (18–35 years, n = 193, 76% female, mean age 24.6 ± 3.6 years) were recruited using a purposive sampling strategy from the YEI programme within South Africa. Sociod…
Feasibility Testing of a Health Literacy Intervention With Adolescents and Young Adults in South Africa
INTRODUCTION: Low health literacy levels during adolescence and young adulthood (AYA) may impact acute healthcare access and longer-term health outcomes. Previous research in South African AYA suggests that health literacy levels are typically suboptimal but few interventions exist. This study aimed to test the acceptability and feasibility of a co-created, interactive health literacy intervention (LifeLab-Soweto) with AYA in Soweto, South Africa…
Examining the referral of patients with elevated blood pressure to health resources in an under-resourced community in South Africa
CHWs can successfully increase community members' access to health resources by providing appropriate referrals. However, greater attention needs to address community members' barriers and hesitancy to utilize health resources
Using the COM-B model and Behaviour Change Wheel to develop a theory and evidence-based intervention for women with gestational diabetes (Iindiago)
First registered on 20/04/2018, Pan African Clinical Trials Registry (PACTR): PACTR201805003336174
Food insecurity and coping strategies and their association with anxiety and depression
Objective: To investigate food insecurity and related coping strategies among South African households and their associations with anxiety and depression. Design: Cross-sectional study. Food insecurity and coping strategies were assessed using a modified Community Childhood Hunger Identification Project and the Coping Strategies Index questionnaires. The Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 were used to assess anxiety…
The development and use of adolescent mobile mental health (m-mhealth) interventions in low- and middle-income countries
Adult mental health challenges frequently stem from undiagnosed poor mental health earlier in life. With increasing levels of poor adolescent mental health and insufficient health care resources in low- and middle-income countries, mobile mental health may offer expanded service access. Little is known about mobile mental health interventions for adolescents in low- and middle-income countries. Our aim was to review the literature on mobile menta…
The prevalence of probable depression and probable anxiety, and associations with adverse childhood experiences and socio-demographics
Objective and methods Mental health problems among adults are a growing public health concern, and middle-income countries such as South Africa are disproportionally affected. Using a large scale nationally representative weighted survey, we assessed the prevalence of probable depression, probable anxiety, and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), and explored associations between probable depression, probable anxiety, ACEs, socio-economic status…
Implementation of Healthy Conversation Skills to support behaviour change in the Bukhali trial in Soweto, South Africa
Background: To address the need for preconception health interventions in low- and middle-income countries, the Healthy Life Trajectories Initiative (HeLTI) was launched in Soweto, South Africa to optimise young women's physical and mental health to establish healthier trajectories for themselves and, where relevant, the next generation. As part of HeLTI trial, the Bukhali intervention utilises the Healthy Conversation Skills (HCS) approach to pr…
Barriers and facilitators of micronutrient supplementation among non-pregnant women of reproductive age in Johannesburg, South Africa
The prevalence of anaemia among South African women of reproductive age (WRA) remains high at 39%. Multiple micronutrient supplementation (MMS) may be an effective strategy in the prevention and management of anaemia. Our aim was to understand facilitators and barriers to preconception MMS adherence and to explore perceptions and beliefs of MMS in the prevention and treatment of anaemia among non-pregnant WRA. This qualitative study was embedded …
To trust or not to trust
As South Africa debates the implementation of mandatory vaccination policies to address coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine hesitancy, many adults remain unpersuaded of the need and benefits of vaccination. Several surveys suggest that this is particularly true for younger adults and for those living in low-income communities. Therefore, we sought the views of youth training to become community health workers (CHWs) as a youth group at th…

Integrating Gestational Diabetes Screening and Care and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Prevention After GDM Into Community Based Primary Health Care in South Africa-Mixed Method Study
GDM screening and post-GDM prevention of T2DM are poorly integrated into PHC services in South Africa. Integration is desired by stakeholders (patients and providers) and may be feasible if PHC resource, training constraints and women's socio-economic barriers are addressed
Bivariate Joint Spatial Modeling to Identify Shared Risk Patterns of Hypertension and Diabetes in South Africa
Recent studies have suggested the common co-occurrence of hypertension and diabetes in South Africa. Given that hypertension and diabetes are known to share common socio-demographic, anthropometric and lifestyle risk factors, the aim of this study was to jointly model the shared and disease-specific geographical variation of hypertension and diabetes. The current analysis used the Study on Global Ageing and Adult Health (SAGE) South Africa Wave 2…
Food insecurity, diet quality and body composition
Objective: To determine whether food security, diet diversity and diet quality are associated with anthropometric measurements and body composition among women of reproductive age. The association between food security and anaemia prevalence was also tested. Design: Secondary analysis of cross-sectional data from the Healthy Life Trajectories Initiative (HeLTI) study. Food security and dietary data were collected by an interviewer-administered qu…
Material and Relational Difficulties
South Africa is an upper-middle income country with high levels of inequality. Young urban black women living in historically disadvantaged suburbs are particularly vulnerable to these socioeconomic inequalities. We conducted a qualitative study (four focus group discussions with young nulliparous women and 13 dual semistructured interviews between women and their mother) to better understand the household environment context of young women livin…
