Access to healthcare amongst adolescent girls and young women in Ugandan artisanal and small-scale mining communities
BACKGROUND: Artisanal small scale-mining (ASM) provides work to many adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) in Uganda. AGYW working in ASM face a unique set of health challenges such as exposure to mercury, HIV and sexually transmitted infections. AGYW in ASM are more vulnerable since they work and live in remote areas with limited health infrastructure which may limit their access to care. However, the AGYW's access to care, including SRH care,…
Impact of a Trauma-Informed Intervention on Psychosocial and HIV Treatment Outcomes Among Older Adults Living with HIV
A childhood sexual abuse (CSA) history is more prevalent among people living with HIV and may have lingering effects among older adults living with HIV (OALH). However, studies examining the impact of trauma-informed interventions among OALH are scant. The aim of the study was to determine the preliminary effect of the Coping with Childhood Sexual Abuse, HIV, and Aging (CoSHA) intervention on depressive symptoms, coping and ART adherence among OA…
Varying Forms of Childhood Sexual Abuse and Late-Life Depression Among Older Adults Living with HIV
Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) has been linked to depression in adulthood. However, studies examining the potential link between CSA and depression in older adulthood are limited. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the association between CSA and late-life depression among older adults living with HIV (OALH) using two measures of depression. Data were obtained from OALH attending an immunology clinic in South Carolina (n = 91). Multiva…
Evidence-Based Participatory Research Approaches for Last Mile Adolescent Girls and Young Women
There is increased interest in methods to achieve meaningful inclusion of traditionally marginalized and last mile populations in research. Adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) working in the artisanal small-scale mining (ASM) are an extremely marginalized group who, in addition to being excluded from decision making processes, tend to be excluded from research- even when the research is about them. There is a paucity of literature on the meth…
Tools for screening maternal mental health conditions in primary care settings in sub-Saharan Africa
Day in-hospital stroke case fatality and significant risk factors in sub-Saharan–Africa
Existing studies investigating 30-day in-hospital stroke case fatality rates in sub-Saharan Africa have produced varying results, underscoring the significance of obtaining precise and reliable estimations for this indicator. Consequently, this study aimed to conduct a systematic review and update of the current scientific evidence regarding 30-day in-hospital stroke case fatality and associated risk factors in sub-Saharan Africa. Medline/PubMed,…
Estimated prevalence and gender disparity of physical activity among 64,127 in-school adolescents (aged 12–17 years)
The Africa sub-region currently lacks quantitative normative data to illustrate the extent of burden and gender inequities of physical activity level in order to inform policy and education, towards meeting the WHO’s 2030 physical activity milestone. The study aimed to provide insights on the current prevalence of sufficient physical activity and gender disparity, using a nationally representative data from the Global School-based student Health …
