Assessment of suicide risk in people with borderline personality disorder
Assessment of suicide risk in people with borderline personality disorder: a qualitative analysis of risk protocols
Sexual and reproductive health of migrant women and girls from the Northern Triangle of Central America
There is a significant need for improved interventions during the predeparture phase of migration to inform migrant women and girls about the SRH risks they may encounter and to provide information and resources to support their SRH throughout their journey. Special attention should be directed towards trying to reach girls and women who will travel with smugglers
Interpersonal violence victimisation, HIV-related behaviours and STIs among adult, urban Indigenous and non-Indigenous gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men in Guatemala
Gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men are disproportionately affected by HIV in Guatemala; interpersonal violence may increase behaviours that augment the risk of HIV in this group. Although 44% of Guatemalans identify as Indigenous, little information exists on the experiences of Indigenous sexual minority individuals. In this study, we sought to compare different forms of violence and HIV-related behaviours by Indigenous identity am…
Permissions, vacations and periods of self-regulation
This chapter focuses on a Central American case study where a member of population services international's global network, the Pan American Social Marketing Organisation, used ethnographic research to gather consumer insight to shape marketing planning process and programme design for a campaign to improve adherence to HIV treatment. It discusses the antiretroviral therapy treatment component of the programme and highlights how consumer insight …
Is violence associated with increased risk behavior among MSM? Evidence from a population-based survey conducted across nine cities in Central America
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: There is a dearth of research examining the linkages between violence and HIV risk behavior among men who have sex with men (MSM), including those who identify as transgender women (TW), particularly in Central America where violence is widespread. In this paper, we use population-based survey results to independently examine the correlations between physical, emotional and sexual violence and HIV risk behavior among MSM pop…
Effectiveness of a combination prevention strategy for HIV risk reduction with men who have sex with men in Central America
PASMO's strategies to reach MSM with HIV prevention programming are still achieving low levels of population coverage, and few men are receiving the complete essential package. However, those reached are able to practice HIV prevention. Combination prevention is a promising approach in Central America, requiring expansion in coverage and intensity
Effectiveness of Behavior Change Communications for Reducing Transmission Risks Among People Living with HIV in 6 Countries in Central America
This first region-wide study (N = 2,818) aims to estimate prevalence of HIV-related risks (sexual behavior, HIV disclosure, number of sex partners, violence) and factors associated with these risks as well as evaluate a behavior change communications program targeted to PLHIV in 6 countries in Central America. After 2 years, the program achieved moderate coverage, with 21 % of the sample reporting exposure to interpersonal communications (IPC) an…
Advanced Methods for Evaluating the Impact of Family Planning Communication Programs
Evaluations of national family planning communication campaigns are often complicated by nonrandomized research designs and self-reported measures of exposure to media messages, both of which can bias estimates of campaign effectiveness if suitable analytical methods are not employed. This study uses three methods to address these problems: (1) single-equation multiple regression analysis; (2) propensity score matching (PSM); and (3) maximum-like…
