Continuum of community engagement to ensure access to health care in conflict-affected areas in South Sudan and Central African Republic (CAR)
In conflict-affected settings such as South Sudan and the Central African Republic (CAR), fragile health systems face immense challenges in maintaining service delivery including essential health service access. Community engagement is a critical enabler across the Disaster Risk Management (DRM) cycle—preparedness, response, recovery, and resilience—by fostering trust, inclusivity, and local ownership. This qualitative study draws on data from th…
The development and implementation of an innovative community-based intervention to strengthen community capacity for HIV prevention and care among Canadians of African Caribbean and Black (ACB) women…
African, Caribbean, and Black (ACB) women are overrepresented among new HIV diagnoses due to social and structural factors. This study seeks to create, implement, and evaluate a community-based peer-led intervention to improve access to HIV prevention and care for ACB women in Canada. This multisite, five-year project, using community-based participatory research, implementation science and evaluation frameworks, will be implemented in five non-i…
Multilevel determinants of community health workers for an effective maternal and child health programme in sub-Saharan Africa
Community perspectives on addressing and responding to HIV-testing, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) among African, Caribbean and Black (ACB) people in Ontario, Cana…
CBPR, co-led by community members, is an important strategy for identifying the multi-level individual, interpersonal, community, institutional and structural factors that increase HIV vulnerability in ACB communities, notably anti-Black systemic racism. Study findings suggest the need for targeted community-based strategies and strategies aimed at reducing health system barriers to testing and care
De-problematizing masculinity among heterosexual African, Caribbean, and Black male youth and men
A positive view of masculinity among ACB heterosexual men and youth could support future practice and policy interventions aimed at strengthening community responses to HIV and health
Building resilient health systems in Africa beyond the Covid-19 pandemic response
The inflammatory effects of IL-1α/β are controlled by IL-1R antagonist (IL-1Ra). One IL-1Ra isoform is secreted, whereas three other isoforms (intracellular IL-1Ra [icIL-1Ra] 1, 2, and 3) are supposed to remain intracellular because of the absence of a signal peptide. In contrast to the well-characterized function of the secreted isoform, the biological role of the intracellular isoforms remains largely unclear. icIL-1Ra1 represents the major iso…
