We combined baseline data from two longitudinal studi…
Intersectional Stigma and Health of People Living with HIV on ART Who Use Alcohol in Southwestern Uganda
HIV, TB, and alcohol use are stigmatized conditions that lead to poor care engagement and health outcomes. Stigmatized traits can operate independently or be intersectional.

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
