Prevalence of abnormal spirometry and correlates of lung function decline among a population in rural Uganda
Background: Chronic lung disease, which is the third leading cause of death globally, places a disproportionate burden of morbidity and mortality on sub-Saharan Africa, where limited infrastructure results in a lack of understanding of how lung function changes over time, whether it varies among susceptible populations, or whether at-risk individuals could be identified before abnormal lung function develops. To address this gap, we aimed to char…
Caregiver preferences for physically harsh discipline of children in rural Uganda
The high prevalence of physically harsh discipline preferences warrant interventions aimed at reframing caregivers' approaches to discipline
Perceived and misperceived norms about khat and/or cannabis use among adults in southwest Uganda
Adverse childhood experiences and adult cardiometabolic risk factors and disease outcomes
BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) pose a major threat to public health in sub-Saharan African communities, where the burden of these classes of illnesses is expected to double by 2030. Growing research suggests that past developmental experiences and early life conditions may also elevate CVD risk throughout the life course. Greater childhood stress and adversity are consistently associated with a range of adult CVDs and associated risk f…
Implementing community-based human papillomavirus self-sampling with SMS text follow-up for cervical cancer screening in rural, southwestern Uganda
BACKGROUND: Self-collected HPV screening may improve cervical cancer screening coverage in low resource countries, yet data guiding implementation and follow-up of abnormal results are sparse. METHODS: This is a prospective cohort implementation study of HPV self-testing program in Mbarara, Uganda with mobile phones to facilitate result notification and referral for treatment at a regional hospital. The effectiveness of the interventions was anal…
