  • Parent–child communication on sexual and reproductive health in border districts of Eastern Uganda

    Peter Kisaakye, Patricia Ndugga et al.ARTICLESex Education2024

    Parent-child communication concerning sexual and reproductive health (SRH) has significant potential to reduce children’s risky sexual behaviour. Despite these benefits, few parents communicate with their children about SRH issues in Uganda. Using multi-stage stratified sampling in a cross-sectional survey, we estimated the prevalence and investigated the factors that were associated with recent parent-child communication among 600 children (10-1…

Engaging all stakeholders including parents to deconstruct sociocultural norms around adolescent SRH, developing the capacity of parents to confidently initiate and convey accurate SRH information, initiation of SRH discussions at early ages, and integrating parent-adolescent communication into parenting intervention…

    Open AccessJohn Boswell, John Denham et al.ARTICLERepresentation2022Citada por: 6Referências: 28

    ‘Place-based explanations’ of politics in the UK draw on survey data to tell sweeping narratives about ‘Two Englands’, or of sizeable regions of the country that have been ‘Left Behind’, reinforcing popular accounts of a North-South or city-town divide. We introduce the concept of nested deprivation—deprivation that may occur in just one housing estate or even one row of flats within neighbourhoods that are otherwise affluent. We report on intens…

    Open AccessStephen Ojiambo Wandera, Betty Kwagala et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    In Uganda, women's socio-economic and demographic background and empowerment had no mitigating effect on IPSV in the face of their partners' dysfunctional behaviors. Interventions addressing IPSV should place more emphasis on reducing partners' controlling behaviors and the prevention of problem drinking

  • Factors associated with modern contraceptive use among young and older women in Uganda; a comparative analysis

    Addressing contraceptive use among old and young women in Uganda requires concerted efforts that target such women to address the socio economic barriers that exist. There is need for increased access of family planning service to the population through strengthening the use of Village Health Teams (VHTs) whose service is currently limited in coverage (MoH, 2009). Given the variation in contraceptive use between the two age groups, our findings f…

    Open AccessAllen Kabagenyi, Patricia Ndugga et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    The centrality of the role of discussion with health workers in predicting men's participation in family planning matters may necessitate creation of opportunities for their further engagement at health facilities as well as community levels. Men's discussion of family planning with health workers was significantly associated with modern contraceptive use. Thus, creating opportunities through which men interact with health workers, for instance d…
