  • Mid-Trimester Allostatic Load and Spontaneous Preterm Birth in a Cohort of Pregnant Women Living with HIV in Zambia

    Open AccessKatelyn Rittenhouse, Bellington Vwalika et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Health Journal2025

  • Using Virtual Reality in Discrimination Research

    Open AccessP Priscilla Lui, Jeffrey S A Stringer et al.ARTICLEJournal of Empirical Research on…2025Referencias: 12

    Virtual reality (VR) can offer unique advantages for studying how individuals respond to stressful events, including racial discrimination, but the ethics of using VR in this context remain underexplored. We briefly review possible scientific benefits and risks of using VR to examine racial discrimination. We also report results from 130 participants of color ( M age = 24.21, 49.2% women) who completed a VR experiment where they were assigned to …

  • Acceptability of a Randomized Trial of Anti-depressant Medication or Interpersonal Therapy for Treatment of Perinatal Depression in Women with HIV

    Open AccessM Bridget Spelke, Eunice Okumu et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2024

    Postpartum depression (PPD) affects nearly 20% of postpartum women in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where HIV prevalence is high. Depression is associated with worse HIV outcomes in non-pregnant adults and mental health disorders may worsen HIV outcomes for postpartum women and their infants. PPD is effectively treated with psychosocial or pharmacologic interventions; however, few studies have evaluated the acceptability of treatment modalities in SS…

  • Protocol-driven primary care and community linkage to reduce all-cause mortality in rural Zambia

    Open AccessW Mutale, Helen Ayles et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Introduction While tremendous progress has been made in recent years to improve the health of people living in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), significant challenges remain. Chief among these are poor health systems, which are often ill-equipped to respond to current challenges. It remains unclear whether intensive intervention at the health system level will result in improved outcomes, as there have been few rigorously designed compara…

  • Unlocking the global health potential of dried blood spot cards

    Open AccessBrianne Bota, Victoria Ward et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2022

    A key challenge to providing care for newborn infants in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is the lack of timely diagnostic testing due to weak local infrastructures such as laboratory capacity and imaging technologies. To address this challenge, low-cost diagnostic testing that does not require extensive laboratory processing or costly storage procedures has been prioritised. [...]

  • Association of maternal prenatal selenium concentration and preterm birth

    Open AccessNagendra K Monangi, Huan Xu et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    BACKGROUND: Selenium (Se), an essential trace mineral, has been implicated in preterm birth (PTB). We aimed to determine the association of maternal Se concentrations during pregnancy with PTB risk and gestational duration in a large number of samples collected from diverse populations. METHODS: Gestational duration data and maternal plasma or serum samples of 9946 singleton live births were obtained from 17 geographically diverse study cohorts. …

  • Women's decision-making and uptake of services to prevent mother-to-child HIV transmission in Zambia

    Catherine E Ford, Carla J Chibwesha et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2018

    Women's empowerment is associated with engagement in some areas of healthcare, but its role in prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission (PMTCT) services has not been previously considered. In this secondary analysis, we investigated the association of women's decision-making and uptake of health services for PMTCT. Using data from population-based household surveys, we included women who reported delivery in the 2-year period prior to the s…

  • Maternal Decision-Making and Uptake of Health Services for the Prevention of Mother-to-Child HIV Transmission

    Open AccessCatherine E Ford, David Coetzee et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Health Journal2018

  • A risk score to identify HIV-infected women most likely to become lost to follow-up in the postpartum period

    Angela M Bengtson, Carla J Chibwesha et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2016

    Access to lifelong combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) is expanding among HIV-infected pregnant and breastfeeding women throughout sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). For this strategy to meaningfully improve maternal HIV outcomes, retention in HIV care is essential. We developed a risk score to identify women with high likelihood of loss to follow-up (LTFU) at 6 months postpartum from HIV care, using data from public health facilities in Lusaka, Zam…

  • Findings from a comprehensive diarrhoea prevention and treatment programme in Lusaka, Zambia

    Open AccessSamuel Bosomprah, Lauren B Beach et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016

    Well-packaged diarrhoea preventive and treatment interventions delivered at the clinic and community-level could potentially reduce probability of death among children aged 1-59 months

  • Prevalence of hypertension and its treatment among adults presenting to primary health clinics in rural Zambia

    Open AccessLily D Yan, B H Chi et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    Age standardized prevalence of hypertension in rural primary health clinics in Zambia was high compared to other studies in rural Africa; however, we diagnosed hypertension with only one measurement and this may have biased our findings. Future efforts to improve hypertension control should focus on population preventive care and primary healthcare provider education on individual management

  • Adherence to antiretroviral therapy during and after pregnancy in low-income, middle-income, and high-income countries

    Jean B Nachega, Olalekan Abdulrahman Uthman et al.ARTICLEAIDS2012

    OBJECTIVE: To estimate antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence rates during pregnancy and postpartum in high-income, middle-income, and low-income countries. DESIGN: Systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS: MEDLINE, EMBASE, SCI Web of Science, NLM Gateway, and Google scholar databases were searched. We included all studies reporting adherence rates as a primary or secondary outcome among HIV-infected pregnant women. Two independent reviewers …

  • Acceptability and Uptake of Neonatal Male Circumcision in Lusaka, Zambia

  • How late is too late? Timeliness to scheduled visits as an antiretroviral therapy adherence measure in Nairobi, Kenya and Lusaka, Zambia

    Rachel J Blacher, Rachel Blacher et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2010

    Collecting self-reported data on adherence to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) can be complicated by patients' reluctance to report poor adherence. The timeliness with which patients attend visits might be a useful alternative to estimate medication adherence. Among Kenyan and Zambian women receiving twice daily HAART, we examined the relationship between self-reported pill taking and timeliness attending scheduled visits. We analyzed…

  • Community-based follow-up for late patients enrolled in a district-wide programme for antiretroviral therapy in Lusaka, Zambia

    D Krebs, D W Krebs et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2008

    Timely adherence to clinical and pharmacy appointments is well correlated with favourable patient outcomes among HIV-infected individuals on antiretroviral therapy. To date, however, there is little work exploring reasons behind missed visits or evaluating programmatic strategies to recall patients. For this study we implemented community-based follow-up of late patients as part of a large-scale programme for HIV care and treatment in Lusaka, Zam…

  • Effect of Nevirapine Toxicity on Choice of Perinatal HIV Prevention Strategies

    Jeffrey S A Stringer, Moses Sinkala et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2002Referencias: 8

    Objectives. This study evaluated the validity of concerns about the toxicity of nevirapine (NVP) that have delayed its implementation as a perinatal HIV prevention strategy. Methods. A decision analysis model compared 3 strategies: single-dose NVP, short-course zidovudine (ZDV), and no intervention. Results. NVP would prevent more deaths than ZDV and no intervention as long as the rate of NVP toxicity did not exceed, respectively, 9 times that ob…

  • Very Early Termination of Pregnancy (Menstrual Extraction)

    Jeffrey S A Stringer, J StringerARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1976

    Very early termination of pregnancy was performed on 424 women in three London teaching hospitals.Altogether 90/U of the women were no more than 14 days overdue, and 67% of these had histological evidence of pregnancy.The procedure differed little in technique or its acceptability to the patient from termination done later in the first trimester.The similar incidence of complications suggested that it is not an alternative to conventional contrac…
