A cross‐sectional survey of 12,435 randomly selected heterosexual men aged 18–60 years—and 9122 of their female partners—was conducted in Nigeria, Kenya, the DR Congo (DRC), Ivory Coast, Bangladesh, and Vietnam, during 2021–2022. Across all countries, the majority endorsed that both men and wome…

    Evidence is needed in low‐ and middle‐income countries regarding men's willingness to use new male contraceptive methods in development, preferences regarding method attributes, and what shapes willingness/preferences. We analyzed data from cross‐sectional surveys with 611 men in Malawi, concerning willingness to use each of four types of new male methods. Mean age was 24.5 years; half (50 percent) were married/cohabiting. Over half (51 percent) …

    Open AccessJohn Mark Wiginton, S Mathur et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    Engaging men in HIV services remains a challenge across sub-Saharan Africa. There is a critical need to better understand facilitators of men's successful engagement with HIV services and assess if there are similarities across contexts. We conducted in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with 92 men living with HIV (MLHIV) across Malawi, Uganda, South Africa, and Eswatini, most of whom had been diagnosed with HIV within the last 5 years…

  • Confirming—and testing—bonds of trust

    Open AccessPooja Sripad, Ann Gottert et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and national responses, trust (one’s belief that a system acts in one’s best interest) is important to consider. In community health systems, trust is embedded in relationships between clients, CHWs, and health system stakeholders. This mixed-methods study explores trust through the evolving COVID-19 crisis in Bangladesh, Haiti, and Kenya, where multi-country community health research was underway. We investigate the …

    Open AccessJulie Pulerwitz, C Valenzuela et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2022

    Research on transactional sexual relationships has largely focused on women's perspectives. Better understanding the men's views-especially regarding relationships with adolescent girls and young women-can inform HIV prevention efforts. In 2017, 134 in-depth interviews were conducted with the male partners of girls and young women aged 19-47 years, 94 in Uganda and 40 in Eswatini. Respondents were recruited at venues such as bars where men and po…

    BACKGROUND: Effectively measuring client empowerment is critical for monitoring and supporting empowerment through interventions, including via community health workers (CHWs) on the front line. Yet a comprehensive measure capturing the multidimensional aspects of client empowerment is not currently available. We aimed to develop and validate the Client Empowerment in Community Health Systems (CE-CHS) Scale in three countries. METHODS: We used da…

  • Development and validation of a multi-dimensional scale to assess community health worker motivation

    Open AccessAnn Gottert, Tracy L McClair et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2021

    BACKGROUND: Ensuring that Community Health Workers (CHWs) are motivated is critical to their performance, retention and well-being - and ultimately to the effectiveness of community health systems worldwide. While CHW motivation is as multi-dimensional construct, there is no multi-dimensional measure available to guide programming. In this study, we developed and validated a pragmatic, multi-dimensional measure of CHW motivation. METHODS: Scale v…

  • The People Living with HIV (PLHIV) Resilience Scale

    Open AccessAnn Gottert, Barbara Friedland et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2019

    Supporting resilience among people living with HIV (PLHIV) is crucial to their sustained uptake of HIV services as well as psychological and social wellbeing. However, no measures exist to assess resilience specifically in relation to living with HIV. We developed the PLHIV Resilience Scale and evaluated its performance in surveys with 1207 PLHIV in Cameroon, Senegal and Uganda as part of the PLHIV Stigma Index-the most widely used tool to track …

This question was examined using data from a 2014 population-based survey of 1053 women and 1004 men, ages 18-49, in rural South Africa. We used a global measure for views toward gender norms (the GEM Scale), plus four subsets of scale items (all reliabilities ≥ 0.7). In multivariate analyses using …
