Determinants of knowledge, attitudes, and practice towards sickle cell disease in Alebtong district, Lango region, Northern Uganda
Respondents had relatively high levels of good knowledge and attitudes towards SCD, but few had tested for SCD. This was significantly associated with access to information either through school, radio, or health providers. Communities, researchers, healthcare programmers, and policymakers should prioritize health information availability through different media to increase knowledge, attitudes, and practice toward SCD
Who leaves school prematurely in Uganda
This paper examined the predictors for school dropouts in Uganda following the introduction of universal primary education close to 30 years ago. We used 10 % of the 2014 Uganda Population and Housing Census dataset (albeit relatively old) to examine the predictors of school dropouts in; i) Rural Uganda ii) Kampala (the capital) and iii) other urban areas. We specifically applied the logistic regression model to predict the probability that a chi…
Illicit Drug Use among Commercial ‘Boda Boda’ Motorcyclists in Uganda
Background: Illicit drug use is a global public health problem with grave health and socio-economic consequences. Related intoxication has been associated with accidental injuries and fatalities. In Uganda, 67% of road traffic accidents are attributed to motorcyclists. Methods: This study assessed the prevalence and determinants of illicit drug use among commercial motorcyclists in Uganda, using a cross-sectional survey research design. We interv…

Out of school female adolescent employment status and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) risk in Uganda
Out of school female adolescents who are employed in various types of low wage employments are at greater risk of exposure to STIs than their counterparts who do not work in Uganda. Instead of being a protective factor against the risk of STIs, their employment may expose them to risky sexual behaviour and STIs, given the vulnerabilities female adolescents who have dropped out of school tend to report. Therefore, the provision of decent employmen…
Gender relations, sexual behaviour, and risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections among women in union in Uganda
Our findings suggest that, with respect to STIs, sexual empowerment as measured in the study does not protect women who have sexually violent and controlling partners. Interventions promoting sexual health must effectively address negative masculine attitudes and roles that perpetuate unhealthy sexual behaviours and gender relations within marriage. It is also important to promote marital fidelity and better communication within union and to enco…
