Baseline data were collected from male and female PLWH, 19-56 years old on: alcohol consumption and related harms; anxi…

  • Impact of a secondary prevention intervention among HIV-positive older women

    Marisa Echenique, Lourdes Illa et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2013

    Despite the fact that older women represent a growing risk group for HIV, they have been rarely targeted by public health campaigns designed to prevent HIV/AIDS and are often excluded from many prevention studies. This unique cohort may be often overlooked due to beliefs that older women are not sexually active and do not engage in high risk sexual activity. Data suggest a need for increased attention to this unique cohort. Risk reduction interve…

Selection of measures was guided by the Andersen Model of Health Services Utilization for Vulnerable Populations. The dependent variable, regular u…

    Marie-Marcelle Deschamps, Jessy G Dévieux et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2009

    In Haiti, as in most of the developing world, vertical transmission of HIV from infected mother to infant through postpartum breastfeeding remains a significant mode of transmission. As part of their prevention of mother-to-child transmission program, the Groupe Haitien d'Etude du Sarcome de Kaposi et des Infections Opportunistes (GHESKIO) Centers developed a feeding education program in which over 83% of the HIV-positive pregnant women who were …

  • Prenatal care utilization in rural areas and urban areas of Haiti

    Open AccessPierre K Alexandre, Gilbert Saint‐Jean et al.ARTICLERevista Panamericana de Salud…2005

    A substantial percentage of pregnant women have access to prenatal care services in Haiti, but mothers in rural areas who decided to seek care still fell slightly below the four visits recommended by the World Health Organization. The education levels of both mothers and their partners is a dominant predictor of prenatal care use. Longer travel times and greater distances to health centers in rural areas constituted barriers to repeated visits. P…

    Gilbert Saint‐Jean, Lee A CrandallARTICLEJournal of Ethnicity in Substance…2004

Analysis of data from the 2000 Florida Youth Substance Abuse Survey was conducted separately for the three major ethnic groups- Whites, Blacks, and Hispanics. The outcome measures were 30-day use of alcohol and marijuana and twenty-eight ri…
