In Uganda, however, there are many misconceptions about discussing sex-related issues with children. This study explored parent–adolescent communication about risky sexual behaviours in Kabira County in Kyotera district of south-central Uganda. Data were collected fr…

Continuity of maternal and newborn health service provision among private sector players following donor transition. Hope amidst challenging implementation experiences in Uganda
BACKGROUND: Supporting service delivery through the private sector is a policy priority for improving maternal and child health service delivery for UHC.

This study aimed to examine the impact of donor transition on private service providers' ability to deliver maternal and newborn health in Uganda. METHO…
Effect of intimate partner violence on depression severity among women in informal settlements of Uganda
The increase in depression severity among women exposed to IPV underscores the compounding effects of IPV during early phases of the pandemic. Public health responses to outbreaks should integrate mental health support and violence prevention strategies, particularly for women experiencing IPV. Future research should explore the long-term impact of the pandemic on mental health, especially in informal settlements
Reproductive Autonomy in Fertility Research in Sub‐Saharan Africa
Fertility research in sub‐Saharan Africa regularly indicates the need to increase women's reproductive autonomy. However, individual, female‐focused conceptualizations of reproductive autonomy tend to neglect the power dynamics both internal and external to couples and other intimate relationships that shape a woman's reproductive autonomy. Furthermore, they disregard the reproductive autonomy of men and other subpopulations and partners in intim…
Multilevel mixed effects analysis of individual and community factors associated with unmet need for contraception among married women in four East African countries
The findings reiterate the need for family planning efforts to focus on younger women. Additionally, improved education, economic empowerment, calls for spousal involvement in family planning matters, support for those with child loss, and comprehensive awareness initiatives remain vital to tackling unmet need for contraception
The impact of donor transition on continuity of maternal and newborn health service delivery in Rwenzori sub-region of Uganda
BACKGROUND: The transition of donor-supported health programmes to country ownership is gaining increasing attention due to reduced development assistance for health globally. It is further accelerated by the ineligibility of previously Low-Income Countries' elevation into Middle-income status. Despite the increased attention, little is known about the long-term impact of this transition on the continuity of maternal and child health service prov…
Adherence to Covid-19 preventive measures and its association with intimate partner violence among women in informal settings of Kampala, Uganda
Cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) detected, and COVID-19 associated mortality increased since the first case was confirmed in Uganda. While adherence to WHO-recommended measures to disrupt COVID-19 transmission has since been implemented, it has been reported to be sub-optimal. An increase in intimate partner violence (IPV) cases was linked to enforcement of COVID-19 lockdowns and other preventive measures especially in informal settin…
Multilevel mixed effects analysis of individual and community level factors associated with modern contraceptive use among married women in Uganda
The study revealed that both individual and community factors were important in explaining the factors associated with modern contraceptive use among married women in Uganda. Therefore, there is need to invest in community based programs like: family planning outreach services, mass media campaigns and community mobilization activities to help in dissemination of family planning information, increase awareness and promotion in use of modern contr…
Partners’ controlling behaviors and intimate partner sexual violence among married women in Uganda
In Uganda, women's socio-economic and demographic background and empowerment had no mitigating effect on IPSV in the face of their partners' dysfunctional behaviors. Interventions addressing IPSV should place more emphasis on reducing partners' controlling behaviors and the prevention of problem drinking
Predictors of modern contraceptive use during the postpartum period among women in Uganda
Increasing reproductive health education and information among postpartum women especially those who are disadvantaged, those with no education and the poor would significantly improve PPFP in Uganda
Modern contraceptive use among sexually active men in Uganda
The centrality of the role of discussion with health workers in predicting men's participation in family planning matters may necessitate creation of opportunities for their further engagement at health facilities as well as community levels. Men's discussion of family planning with health workers was significantly associated with modern contraceptive use. Thus, creating opportunities through which men interact with health workers, for instance d…
