The Lived Experiences of Unhealthy Alcohol Use among Young People with HIV in Southwestern Uganda
Unhealthy alcohol use among adolescents and young adults living with HIV (AYAH), is common and poses risks to their health and social wellbeing. However, research that explores comorbid unhealthy drinking and HIV among AYAH is limited in Uganda. We conducted semi-structured in-depth interviews with 14 AYAH who self-reported current alcohol use, recruited from the adolescent immunosuppression (ISS) clinic of Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital in S…
Psychometric assessment of the Runyankole-translated Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale among persons with HIV in Uganda
We detected and mitigated measurement error in the 28-item Runyankole-translated SDS, and found that the modified 27-item scale had satisfactory construct validity and internal consistency in our sample. Future studies should continue to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Runyankole-translated SDS, including retranslating Item 14 and reevaluating its performance
Understanding Patients’ Experiences with a Brief Alcohol Reduction Intervention among People Living with HIV in Uganda
Background: Brief alcohol reduction interventions for people living with HIV (PLWH) have resulted in mixed findings with some studies showing null or limited treatment effects. To better understand factors that may contribute to their success or failure, this qualitative study sought to explore participants’ experiences in a randomized trial (RCT) of a brief counseling-based alcohol reduction intervention, including challenges that may have imped…
Costs of a Brief Alcohol Consumption Reduction Intervention for Persons Living with HIV in Southwestern Uganda
Low-cost interventions are needed to reduce alcohol use among persons with HIV (PWH) in low-income settings. Brief alcohol interventions hold promise, and technology may efficiently deliver brief intervention components with high frequency. We conducted a costing study of the components of a randomized trial that compared a counselling-based intervention with two in-person one-on-one sessions supplemented by booster sessions to reinforce the inte…
Cultural Adaptation of an Intervention to Reduce Hazardous Alcohol Use Among People Living with HIV in Southwestern Uganda
“I beg you…breastfeed the baby, things changed”
WLWH face layered challenges navigating evolving infant feeding recommendations. Further research is needed to examine guidance and decision-making on infant feeding choices to improve postpartum experiences and outcomes. Improved communication about changes to recommendations is needed for WLWH, their partners, community members, and healthcare providers
