Association between nutrition literacy and diet quality among adolescents and young adults in the rural district of Mayuge, Eastern Uganda
Low nutrition literacy is a significant burden among AYA, and is strongly associated with suboptimal diet quality. Implementing targeted interventions to improve nutrition literacy can enhance diet quality among AYA in the study area
Uvula infections and traditional uvulectomy
Uvulitis is the inflammation and swelling of the uvula, usually associated with infection of nearby structures. Uvulitis can be treated symptomatically, using medication or in some cases with uvulectomy, the uvula surgical removal or shortening. Traditional uvulectomy by traditional practitioners has been practiced in Africa for ages, associated with adverse outcomes. Although there is no empirical evidence for the association between adverse out…
Factors associated with HIV positive sero-status among exposed infants attending care at health facilities
Increasing facility based deliveries and addressing underlying health system challenges related to staffing and availability of the required commodities may further accelerate eMTCT
Understanding the role of age in HIV disclosure rates and patterns for HIV-infected children in southwestern Uganda
Highly active antiretroviral therapy has enabled HIV-infected children to survive into adolescence and adulthood, creating need for their own HIV diagnosis disclosure. Disclosure has numerous social and medical benefits for the child and family; however, disclosure rates tend to be low, especially in developing countries, and further understanding of the barriers is needed. This study describes the patterns and correlates of disclosure among HIV-…
Explaining Antiretroviral Therapy Adherence Success Among HIV-Infected Children in Rural Uganda
Socio-cultural and economic antecedents of adolescent sexual decision-making and HIV-risk in rural Uganda
With more than half of new infections occurring among youth, HIV/AIDS remains a major contributor to morbidity and mortality in Uganda. Semi-structured interviews were performed with 48 adolescents and 15 adult key informants in a rural Ugandan community to identify influences on adolescent sexual decision-making. Inductive data analytic methods revealed five thematic influences: (1) social pressure, (2) decline of the Senga (a familial figure wh…
Prevalence rates of sexual coercion victimization and perpetration among Uganda adolescents
Coercion is consistently reported as a risk factor for HIV in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Because of the gendered nature of previous research, however, little is known about male victims or female perpetrators. To address this gap, we report survey data from 354 sexually experienced secondary school students in Mbarara, Uganda. Findings suggest that females are more likely to report involvement in coercive sex compared to males (66% vs. 56%, respec…
Examining the Applicability of the IMB Model in Predicting Condom Use Among Sexually Active Secondary School Students in Mbarara, Uganda
Adolescents’ perceptions of sexual coercion in Uganda
In Uganda, HIV prevalence remains high with young people at higher risk of infection than adults. Much is known about the sexual risk factors for HIV transmission among youths, including sexual encounters that are coerced. On the other hand, relatively little is known about the barriers to preventing sexual coercion and what strategies may overcome those barriers with adolescents. We conducted three focus group discussions with adolescents in an …
