Optimizing peer-led health interventions
Social network interventions (SNIs) can leverage influential individuals within personal networks to amplify health behavior adoption and intervention diffusion. While SNIs are potentially effective in enhancing uptake of HIV prevention and other interventions, identifying optimal peer leaders remains challenging. This study assessed how social network-based approaches can improve peer leader identification compared to non-structural approaches (…
Object-oriented photography
In this article, we discuss the insights object-oriented ontology (OOO) offers in understanding the photographic process. Following Kant's distinction between noumena and phenomena and Heidegger'sGeviert, Harman's OOO focuses on the real versus sensory aspects of all objects of experience. In our analysis, we explore its implications for intentionality, signification and revelation in photography. OOO locates being within all objects and stands i…
Lusting, learning and lasting in school
Age at sexual debut is known to have implications for future sexual behaviours and health outcomes, including HIV infection, early pregnancy and maternal mortality, but may also influence educational outcomes. Longitudinal data on schooling and sexual behaviour from a demographic surveillance site in Karonga district, northern Malawi, were analysed for 3153 respondents between the ages of 12 and 25 years to examine the association between sexual …
HIV/Aids-related mortality in Africa and Asia
BACKGROUND: As the HIV/AIDS pandemic has evolved over recent decades, Africa has been the most affected region, even though a large proportion of HIV/AIDS deaths have not been documented at the individual level. Systematic application of verbal autopsy (VA) methods in defined populations provides an opportunity to assess the mortality burden of the pandemic from individual data. OBJECTIVE: To present standardised comparisons of HIV/AIDS-related m…
Pregnancy-related mortality in Africa and Asia
BACKGROUND: Women continue to die in unacceptably large numbers around the world as a result of pregnancy, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. Part of the problem is a lack of accurate, population-based information characterising the issues and informing solutions. Population surveillance sites, such as those operated within the INDEPTH Network, have the potential to contribute to bridging the information gaps. OBJECTIVE: To describe pat…
Adult non-communicable disease mortality in Africa and Asia
BACKGROUND: Mortality from non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is a major global issue, as other categories of mortality have diminished and life expectancy has increased. The World Health Organization's Member States have called for a 25% reduction in premature NCD mortality by 2025, which can only be achieved by substantial reductions in risk factors and improvements in the management of chronic conditions. A high burden of NCD mortality among muc…
Measuring causes of adult mortality in rural northern Malawi over a decade of change
BACKGROUND: Verbal autopsy could be more widely used if interpretation by computer algorithm could be relied on. We assessed how InterVA-4 results compared with clinician review in diagnosing HIV/AIDS-related deaths over the period of antiretroviral (ART) roll-out. DESIGN: In the Karonga Prevention Study demographic surveillance site in northern Malawi, all deaths are followed by verbal autopsy using a semi-structured questionnaire. Cause of deat…
Developing a matrix to identify and prioritise research recommendations in HIV Prevention
This is the first categorisation system for HIV prevention and the matrix is a novel tool for evidence mapping. Some important yet under-researched areas have been identified in HIV prevention evidence: identifying the undiagnosed population; international adaptation; education; intervention combinations; transgender; sex-workers; heterosexuals and older age groups
Psychology of success
Uses expert insights, real-life case studies and powerful techniques to help you reach your full potential and achieve whatever you want in life - starting now. This title helps you identify what success means to you, and build day-to-day strategies to reach your goals and overcome obstacles and succeed in the face of adversity
