  • Impact of HIV-related stigma on quality of life among people with HIV

    Godfrey Sambayi, Godfrey L Sambayi et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2026

    HIV-related stigma affects the well-being and quality of life of people with HIV (PHIV). To evaluate the impact of HIV-related stigma on the quality of life among PHIV in Dar es Salaam, we conducted a qualitative study between December 2021 and June 2022. We enrolled participants in the Dar es Salaam Urban Cohort Study who were from the Ilala Municipality of Dar es Salaam. Using a semi-structured discussion guide, three focus group discussions (F…

  • Ensuring equitable engagement in global health education

    Open AccessSirey Zhang, Micaela Dickinson et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    INTRODUCTION: Global health originated from colonial and tropical medicine, which served the interests of colonial powers. Despite efforts to address this legacy, the field still faces challenges in unequal partnerships between high-income (HICs) and low-income and middle-income (LMICs) countries. Activists push for paradigm shifts emphasising health equity, decolonisation and partnerships based on solidarity and justice. The Geisel School of Med…

  • Decolonizing Global Health Education

    Quentin Eichbaum, Quentin G Eichbaum et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2021

    Global health often entails partnerships between institutions in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) that were previously colonized and high-income countries (HICs) that were colonizers. Little attention has been paid to the legacy of former colonial relationships and the influence they have on global health initiatives. There have been recent calls for the decolonization of global health education and the reexamination of assumptions and pr…

  • Adopting locally the lessons learned globally

    Open AccessCorrado Cancedda, Lisa V Adams et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    The past 20 years have witnessed an exponential growth in the global engagement of academic medical centres (AMCs) in the United States (US). In contrast to their global activity, US AMCs often do not adopt locally many of the evidence-based policies and practices adopted by the health systems of lowincome and middle-income countries (LMICs). Some of the best AMCs in the US (and arguably, in the world) are surrounded by communities where life exp…

  • Effectiveness of a sports-based HIV prevention intervention in the Dominican Republic

    Zachary A Kaufman, Robert L Welsch et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2012

    Previous observational and quasi-experimental studies in sub-Saharan Africa have suggested the effectiveness of youth-targeted HIV prevention interventions using sport as an educational tool. No studies have yet assessed the effect of similar programs in the Caribbean. A quasi-experimental trial was conducted to assess the effectiveness of a sports-based intervention in six migrant settlements in the Puerto Plata Province of the Dominican Republi…
