Deaths of Female Sex Workers from HIV/Aids in Kenya, Nigeria, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo 2019–2023 and Barriers to Antiretroviral Therapy Adherence
HIV-related deaths among FSWs in these three sub-Saharan African countries are associated with food insecurity, mental health issues, substance use, and stigma. Improving access to ART alone is insufficient to reduce mortality
Pregnancy health in a multi-state U.S. population of systemically underserved patients and their children
The PROMISE cohort enables characterization of GWG patterns and estimation of effects on child growth in underrepresented subgroups, ultimately improving the representativeness of GWG evidence and corresponding guidelines

Parents who perceive their child as having a weight problem also have more control over their child's eating…
