HIV Prevalence and Risk Factors Among Male Foreign Migrants in Cape Town, South Africa
Coming of age? Women's sexual and reproductive health after twentyone years of democracy in South Africa
This paper is a sequel to a 2004 article that reviewed South Africa's introduction of new sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and rights laws, policies and programmes, a decade into democracy. Similarly to the previous article, this paper focuses on key areas of women's SRH: contraception and fertility, abortion, maternal health, HIV, cervical and breast cancer and sexual violence. In the last decade, South Africa has retained and expanded its s…
Predictors of poor adherence among people on antiretroviral treatment in Cape Town, South Africa
A case-control study was conducted to describe the frequency with which structural- and individual-level barriers to adherence are experienced by people receiving antiretroviral (ARV) treatment and to determine predictors of non-adherence. Three hundred adherent and 300 non-adherent patients from 6 clinics in Cape Town completed the LifeWindows Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills ART Adherence Questionnaire, the Substance Abuse and Mental Il…
Improving the Counselling Skills of Lay Counsellors in Antiretroviral Adherence Settings
Illegal yet developmentally normative
BACKGROUND: In South Africa, it is illegal for adolescents under age 16 years to engage in any sexual behaviour whether kissing, petting, or penetrative sex, regardless of consent. This cross-sectional study investigated the extent to which young adolescents engage in various sexual behaviours and the associations between dating status and sexual behaviours. METHOD: Grade 8 adolescents (N = 474, ages 12-15 years, mean = 14.14 years) recruited fro…

What do young people think makes their relationships good? Factors associated with assessments of dating relationships in South Africa
Little is known about the factors and outcomes associated with young people's subjective relationship assessments. Understanding what young people think makes their relationships 'good' or 'bad' would give us insight into what is important to them in their relationships as well as their decision-making and behaviour within them. Self-report data from 757 girls (mean age = 17.09 years) and 642 boys (mean age = 17.23 years) were analysed using logi…
Linking Life Skills and Norms With Adolescent Substance Use and Delinquency in South Africa
We examined factors targeted in two popular prevention approaches with adolescent drug use and delinquency in South Africa. We hypothesized adolescent life skills to be inversely related, and perceived norms to be directly related to later drug use and delinquency. Multiple regression and a relative weights approach were conducted for each outcome using a sample of 714 South African adolescents ages 15 to 19 years ( M = 15.8 years, 57% female). P…
I think it's about experiencing, like, life’
Intimate or dating relationships play an important role in young people's psychosocial development and well-being. Yet, we know relatively little about how teenagers conceptualise and experience them. Research knowledge about young people's intimate relationships is largely gleaned from studies whose primary focus has been on adolescent sexuality and violence. This study explored intimate relationships using qualitative data from 12 focus-group d…
