Intimate partner violence, anxiety, stress, and depression among Israeli Arab married women in the shadow of the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic was accompanied by lengthy lockdowns, school closures, and mandatory stay-at-home orders, causing stress, anxiety and depression. Since most Arabs in Israel live in closed communities in villages, with high birthrates and specific demographic characteristics, during the pandemic they may have experienced higher rates of stress, anxiety, depression, and violence against women compared to the general population. To measure the…
Trauma, empowerment, and resilience
Introduction: Canada has endorsed the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) target to end the HIV epidemic by 2030. However, Canada has reported increases in HIV diagnoses for five consecutive years since 2019, with Manitoba's provincial rates three times the national average. This study examines mental health factors that may impact engagement in care among people living with HIV in Manitoba. Methods: For this qualitative study, 32…
Service providers’ perspectives on facilitators and recommendations for improving HIV care in Manitoba, Canada
Background: We aimed to identify facilitators and recommendations for improving HIV care in Manitoba, Canada from service providers' perspectives. Methods: This study is a component of a participatory action research study examining the interrelatedness of houselessness, substance use and other factors on HIV care. We conducted in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 27 HIV service providers in Manitoba (Canada). Interviews were transcribed, co…
Barriers and recommendations for harm reduction services among people living with HIV in Manitoba, Canada
Introduction: In 2022, the province of Manitoba, Canada, recorded its highest increases in substance-related deaths and new HIV diagnoses. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated access barriers to harm reduction services across the country. Given the intertwined relationship between HIV and injection substance use, we sought to better understand People Living with HIV's (PLHIV) access barriers to harm reduction services, and recommendations for improv…
Polygyny and intimate partner violence among married women
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a global issue with several social and health consequences. Global estimates indicate that one-third of women have experienced lifetime IPV. In 2013, sub-Saharan Africa recorded the highest rates of IPV. Furthermore, previous research showed that polygyny is positively associated with IPV. This study examined associations between polygyny and IPV in Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) with a special attention…
Perceptions of persons deprived of liberty regarding tuberculosis vaccine research
Several tuberculosis (TB) vaccine candidates are currently advancing to late-stage clinical trials. Prisons in low-and middle-income countries harbor some of the highest rates of TB in the world, making persons deprived of liberty (PDL) an important population to prioritize for the introduction of effective vaccines. However, the inclusion in clinical trials raises significant ethical concerns due to a history of exploitation and mistreatment wit…
Knowledge, attitudes and practices about air pollution and its health effects in 6th to 11th-grade students in Colombia
Introduction: Globally, air pollution is the leading environmental cause of disease and premature death. Raising awareness through environmental education and adequate communication on air quality could reduce the adverse effects. We aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding air pollution and health and determine the factors associated with these KAP in children and adolescents. Methods: In 2019-2020, a cross-section…
Introduction of short course treatment for latent tuberculosis infection at a primary care facility for refugees in Winnipeg, Canada
Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) End TB strategy document 'Toward tuberculosis elimination: an action framework for low incidence countries'-like Canada- identifies screening and treatment of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) for groups at increased risk for TB disease as a priority, including newcomers from endemic countries. In 2015, the clients-centered model offered at a primary care facility for refugees, BridgeCare Clinic,…
Characteristics of male perpetrators of intimate partner violence and implications for women’s HIV status
Intimate partner violence (IPV) may increase women’s HIV acquisition risk. Still, knowledge on pathways through which IPV exacerbates HIV burden is emerging. We examined the individual and partnership-level characteristics of male perpetrators of physical and/or sexual IPV and considered their implications for women’s HIV status. We pooled individual-level data from nationally representative, cross-sectional surveys in 27 countries in Africa (200…
Mortality rate and associated factors among patients co-infected with drug resistant tuberculosis/HIV at Mulago National Referral Hospital, Uganda, a retrospective cohort study
Drug resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB)/HIV co-infection remains a growing threat to public health and threatens global TB and HIV prevention and care programs. HIV is likely to worsen the outcomes of DR-TB and DR-TB is likely to worsen the outcomes of HIV despite the scale up of TB and HIV services and advances in treatment and diagnosis. This study determined the mortality rate and factors associated with mortality among persons on treatment co-inf…
Tuberculosis in Prisons
The level of clustering and the adjustment by cluster-robust standard errors have yet to be widely considered and reported in cross-sectional studies of tuberculosis (TB) in prisons. In two cross-sectional studies of people deprived of liberty (PDL) in Medellin, we evaluated the impact of adjustment versus failure to adjust by clustering on prevalence ratio (PR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). We used log-binomial regression, Poisson regression…
HIV-serodifferent couples’ perspectives and practices regarding HIV prevention strategies
A substantial proportion of heterosexually acquired HIV infections in the U.S. occur between partners in primary relationships characterized by mixed HIV status. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have issued guidelines prioritizing HIV-serodifferent couples for primary HIV prevention, including treatment-as-prevention and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). Yet, very little research has been conducted to understand the perspectives…
Changes in the incidence of seasonal influenza in response to Covid-19 social distancing measures
Specific social distancing measures and behaviours may serve as effective tools to limit the spread of influenza transmission moving forward, as they become more familiar
Is tuberculosis elimination a feasible goal in Colombia by 2050
Colombia has an underreporting of 30% of the total cases, according to World Health Organization (WHO) estimations. In 2016, successful tuberculosis (TB) treatment rate was 70%, and the mortality rate ranged between 3.5% and 10%. In 2015, Colombia adopted and adapted the End TB strategy and set a target of 50% reduction in incidence and mortality by 2035 compared with 2015. The aims of this study were: To evaluate whether Colombia will be able to…
