  • Feminist approaches to promoting researcher well-being through collective and organizational care

    Open AccessCatherine Carlson, Sylvia Namakula et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sociology2024References: 6

    Researchers working in the field of violence against women and children are often tasked with listening to highly distressing personal accounts of violence and subsequent trauma. Without proper attention and mitigation strategies, this exposure can lead to vicarious trauma and related symptoms with significant impact on researchers' well-being. As women are often leading and carrying out violence research, they also experience a disproportionate …

  • The role of mental health in primary prevention of sexual and gender-based violence

    Open AccessAní­k Gevers, Elizabeth DartnallARTICLEGlobal Health Action2014

    In this short communication, we assert that mental health has a crucial role in the primary prevention of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV). However, we found that most research and practice to date has focused on the role of mental health post-violence, and SGBV primary prevention is relying on public health models that do not explicitly include mental health. Yet, key concepts, processes, and competencies in the mental health field appear…

  • Declaration on mental health in Africa

    Open AccessAbdallah S Daar, Marian Jacobs et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2014

    Urgent action is needed to address mental health issues globally. In Africa, where mental health disorders account for a huge burden of disease and disability, and where in general less than 1% of the already small health budgets are spent on these disorders, the need for action is acute and urgent. Members of the World Health Organization, including African countries, have adopted a Comprehensive Mental Health Action Plan. Africa now has an hist…

METHOD: Grade 8 adolescents (N = 474, ages 12-15 years, mean = 14.14 years) recruited fro…

  • What do young people think makes their relationships good? Factors associated with assessments of dating relationships in South Africa

    Aní­k Gevers, Rachel Jewkes et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2013

    Little is known about the factors and outcomes associated with young people's subjective relationship assessments. Understanding what young people think makes their relationships 'good' or 'bad' would give us insight into what is important to them in their relationships as well as their decision-making and behaviour within them. Self-report data from 757 girls (mean age = 17.09 years) and 642 boys (mean age = 17.23 years) were analysed using logi…

  • I think it's about experiencing, like, life’

    Aní­k Gevers, Rachel Jewkes et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2012

    Intimate or dating relationships play an important role in young people's psychosocial development and well-being. Yet, we know relatively little about how teenagers conceptualise and experience them. Research knowledge about young people's intimate relationships is largely gleaned from studies whose primary focus has been on adolescent sexuality and violence. This study explored intimate relationships using qualitative data from 12 focus-group d…
