Depression, social support, and stigma as predictors of quality of life over time
Quality of life (QOL) is associated with better outcomes in HIV/AIDS populations.

Trained local interviewers ascertained self-report data at baseline and six-month follow-up (post-intervention). Latent Class Analysis (LCA) identified conste…

Data on smoking caused fires, deaths, and injuries dating from after the change in law are not yet available. Such data will be able to address the question o…
