A Scoping review of communication strategies and interventions to deliver sexual and reproductive health information among female sex workers
BACKGROUND: Female sex workers face a higher risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections, therefore, they require access to reproductive health information. This is the first scoping literature review on communication strategies for delivering sexual and reproductive health information and services to improve health outcomes for female sex workers. The strategies analyzed consisted of information and communication technology, mobile healt…
Emotional Burden and Selfcare Strategies Among Opioid Overdose Prevention and Response Personnel in Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties, Wisconsin, USA
INTRODUCTION: Opioid prevention personnel who interface with overdose events are at a risk of emotional challenges, though little research has explored their emotional experiences and self-care strategies. We explored the emotional experiences and self-care strategies to manage mental and emotional challenges among individuals who work in overdose prevention and response. METHODS: This was a qualitative study. Using a phenomenological approach, w…
Correlates of behavioral and emotional disorders among school-going adolescents in Uganda
BACKGROUND: Adolescence is a critical development transition period that increases vulnerability to poor mental health outcomes. Recent evidence suggests that adolescents in Uganda experience high rates of behavioral and emotional disorders. We examined the factors associated with emotional and behavioral health outcomes among school-going adolescents in Uganda. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, we surveyed 1,953 students aged 10-18 enrolle…
Prevalence and factors associated with alcohol and substance use among secondary school adolescents in central and Eastern Uganda
Targeted school-based interventions addressing sex-specific risks, and urban-rural disparities in mental health may help reduce use of alcohol, substances and SUD impairment among adolescent students in central and eastern Uganda
They tossed me up like a ball”
Our study reveals important and substantial gaps in the current healthcare system in Uganda. The main perceived health system challenges were its affordability and 'approachability' among residents of informal settlements. GHIs drain resources from the national health system and neglect coverage for non-priority diseases. We call upon policymakers to re-prioritize and respond to these health system challenges
Feasibility, Acceptability, and Preliminary Efficacy of a Pilot Study To Integrate Buprenorphine into a Harm-reduction Drop-in-Center in Kampala, Uganda
Illicit drug use has been increasing rapidly in Sub-Saharan Africa in the past decade. However, until recently HIV prevention has largely ignored people who inject drugs and medications to treat opioid use disorder (MOUD) were largely absent. This paper reports results of a pilot intervention that integrated buprenorphine into a harm-reduction drop-in-center for people with opioid use disorder (OUD) in Kampala, Uganda. We collected implementation…
Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Challenges in Informal Settlements in Kampala, Uganda
Diarrhea causes 1.6 million deaths annually, including 525,000 children. Further, chronic diarrhea puts children at risk for mineral deficiencies, malnutrition, and stunting which, in turn, can result in cognitive deficits, poor performance in school, and decreased disease immunity in adulthood. Most diarrhea is caused by water contaminated by fecal matter. Interventions to improve clean water and sanitation can save lives; however, challenges pe…
Determinants of occupational injuries among building construction workers in Kampala City, Uganda
There was a relatively high prevalence of injuries mostly resulting from cuts and mostly suffered on night duty. Upper and lower extremities were the most hurt parts of the body during injury leading to loss of a substantial number of productive days. This could affect the health and wellbeing of construction workers. Most of the factors significantly associated with occupational injuries are modifiable thus an opportunity to address the problem.…
