  • “Your behavior is not welcome here…”

    Open AccessEmmy Kageha Igonya, Ebenezer Kwesi Armah‐Ansah et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sociology2025

    There can be little doubt that sexual and gender minorities face stigma and discrimination across levels of the socioecological model, and that in most cases, there has been multiplied grievances and anti- LGBTQ+ activities instigating serial forced migration. Forced serial displacement of sexual and gender minorities in Kenya requires research attention, and it might be better served if examined through the lens of "forced migration," given the …

  • What has comprehensive HIV/Aids knowledge got to do with HIV testing among men in Kenya and Mozambique? Evidence from Demographic and Health Surveys

    Open AccessEugene Budu, Abdul-Aziz Seidu et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science2022

    People living with undiagnosed HIV are big contributors to the transmission of the virus. Although measures have been made to scale up HIV prevention and voluntary counselling and testing in sub-Saharan Africa, testing coverage remains low in many sub-Saharan African countries, including Mozambique and Kenya, where most people live with HIV/AIDS. Studies have shown that, in most countries in sub-Saharan Africa, men are less likely to test for HIV…

  • Proximate, intermediate, and distal predictors of under-five mortality in Chad

    Open AccessBright Opoku Ahinkorah, Abdul-Aziz Seidu et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    The study found that the determinants of under-five mortality in Chad are region of residence, place of residence, ethnicity, education, sex of child, and birth rank. These findings show that both socio-economic and proximate factors explain the disparities in under-five mortality in Chad. The identification of these factors can be pivotal towards the design of evidence-based interventions intended to improve child survival. Therefore, improving …
