Alcohol and other drug use among HIV-affected adolescents and young adults in Zambia
Background Alcohol and other drug (AOD) use is a growing public health problem among AYA and young adults (AYA) globally. AYA who are affected by HIV in low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs) may have high risk for AOD use problems, yet the context of AOD use remains an understudied area in this population. Method ology: In this qualitative study, we conducted 16 focus group discussions with HIV-affected AYA (ages 16-24), caregivers, and healthc…
Household healthcare seeking patterns for emergent ill-health in Migori, Western Kenya
Background Healthcare-seeking decisions reflect personal assessments of illness etiology and severity to determine whether, how, and where to seek care. Understanding these contexts enables targeted interventions to address barriers and ensure timely access to quality services. We examined patterns of household healthcare seeking for emergent ill-health in Western Kenya. Methods As part of a multi-site mixed-methods study evaluating a patient-cen…
Designing community-based strategies to reach non-household contacts of people with tuberculosis in Lusaka, Zambia
Background: In high-burden settings, most tuberculosis (TB) transmission likely occurs outside the home. Our qualitative study in Zambia explored the acceptability and preferences for designing TB active case finding (ACF) strategies to reach non-household contacts of people with TB. Methods: = 12) of community venue types identified as potential TB transmission locations. Interviews explored TB attitudes and beliefs, and perceptions toward two A…
Social scripts of violence among adolescent girls and young women in Zambia
Adolescent girls and young women ages 15-24 experience high rates of gender-based violence (GBV), underpinned by gender and social norms that shape their transitions to adulthood. For interventions that seek to leverage and build on existing infrastructure for health service provision, it is important to understand how gender norms operate in the background and how they shape service engagement or non-engagement. In formative work for our project…
HIV care experiences and health priorities during the first wave of Covid-19
Clients' HIV care and health priorities during the first wave of COVID-19 in Lusaka province were varied with a combination of positive and negative experiences that occurred especially at health system and individual levels, while at household level, the experiences were all negative. More research is needed to understand how patients practice resiliency in the widespread context of socio-economic instability. Governments and patients must work …
Selfie consents, remote rapport, and Zoom debriefings
In-person interactions have traditionally been the gold standard for qualitative data collection. The COVID-19 pandemic required researchers to consider if remote data collection can meet research objectives, while retaining the same level of data quality and participant protections. We use four case studies from the Philippines, Zambia, India and Uganda to assess the challenges and opportunities of remote data collection during COVID-19. We pres…
Optimism alongside new challenges
Previous research has demonstrated increased comorbidities related to the chronic effects of HIV. Rehabilitation science offers a useful approach for studying chronic illness. This longitudinal qualitative study used a rehabilitation science approach to explore the experiences over time of women and men living with HIV and on antiretroviral therapy (ART) in the high HIV-prevalence setting of Lusaka, Zambia. Thirty-five participants participated i…
