  • Community client-led anti-retroviral therapy delivery for people newly diagnosed with HIV

    Canada Parrish, Samuel Lewis et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2025

    Engaging in HIV care services can be challenging for refugees as they navigate new care systems while meeting daily needs. This pilot study assessed Early Community Client-led ART Delivery (Early CCLAD) as a differentiated care strategy for those newly diagnosed with HIV in Nakivale Refugee Settlement, Uganda. Early CCLAD was a community antiretroviral therapy delivery option where group members take turns coming to the health center.Adults acces…

  • Using Intervention Mapping methodology to design an HIV linkage intervention in a refugee settlement in rural Uganda

    Open AccessMiranda Ravicz, Bernadette Muhongayire et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2022

    Nearly 80 million people have been forcibly displaced by persecution, violence, and disaster. Displaced populations, including refugees, face health challenges such as resource shortages, food and housing insecurity, violence, and disrupted social support. People living with HIV in refugee settings have decreased engagement with HIV services compared to non-refugee populations, and interventions are needed to enhance linkage to care. However, des…

  • Social Support and Linkage to HIV Care Following Routine HIV Testing in a Ugandan Refugee Settlement

    Open AccessCanada Parrish, Erica Nelson et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2022

    We aimed to identify factors associated with linkage to care for individuals newly diagnosed with HIV in a refugee settlement. This study was conducted from October 2018 through January 2020 in Nakivale Refugee Settlement in Uganda. We conducted a cross-sectional survey among individuals accessing routine HIV testing services. The survey included questions on demographic factors, physical and mental health conditions, social support, and HIV-rela…

  • Prevalence and risk factors for hypertension and diabetes among those screened in a refugee settlement in Uganda

    Open AccessRachel W Kubiak, Elinor M Sveum et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2021

    Hypertension was common and diabetes was uncommon among those screened in a Ugandan refugee settlement. Routine blood pressure screening should be considered in this setting. Additional research could develop diabetes screening criteria to help identify at risk individuals in this limited resource setting

  • A cohort study to assess a communication intervention to improve linkage to HIV care in Nakivale Refugee Settlement, Uganda

    Open AccessKelli N O’laughlin, Ai Xu et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2020

    Communication interventions to enhance linkage to HIV care have been successful in sub-Saharan Africa but have not been assessed among refugees. Refugees and Ugandan nationals participating in HIV testing in Nakivale Refugee Settlement were offered weekly phone call and short message service (SMS) reminders. We assessed linkage to care and predictors of linkage within 90 days of testing, comparing Intervention participants to those unwilling or i…

  • A Social-Ecological Framework to Understand Barriers to HIV Clinic Attendance in Nakivale Refugee Settlement in Uganda

    Open AccessKelli N O’laughlin, Kelsy E Greenwald et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2020

    The social-ecological model proposes that efforts to modify health behaviors are influenced by constraints and facilitators at multiple levels. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 47 clients in HIV care and 8 HIV clinic staff to explore how such constraints and facilitators (individual, social environment, physical environment, and policies) affect engaging in HIV clinical care in Nakivale Refugee Settlement in Uganda. Thematic analysis …

  • A qualitative approach to understand antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence for refugees living in Nakivale Refugee Settlement in Uganda

    Open AccessKelli N O’laughlin, S Rouhani et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2018

    By learning about refugees' experiences we can design informed interventions to enhance ART adherence, thus minimizing morbidity and mortality, preventing transmission of HIV, and supporting refugees' abilities to move freely toward repatriation, resettlement or integration in their host country

  • The role of social support on HIV testing and treatment adherence

    Open AccessS Rouhani, Kelli N O’laughlin et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2016

    Little is known about the factors that encourage or discourage refugees to test for HIV, or to access and adhere to HIV care. In non-refugee populations, social support has been shown to influence HIV testing and utilisation of services. The present study enrolled HIV-infected refugees on anti-retroviral therapy (ART) in Uganda, who participated in qualitative interviews on HIV testing, treatment, and adherence. Interviews were analysed for theme…

  • Testing experiences of HIV positive refugees in Nakivale Refugee Settlement in Uganda

    Open AccessKelli N O’laughlin, S Rouhani et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2013

    HIV testing services provided for refugees must be not just available, but also utilized. Understanding what makes HIV testing possible for refugees who have tested can inform interventions to increase testing in this population. Intervening by encouraging priority shifts toward HIV testing, by helping ensure survival needs are met, and by eliminating barriers to testing, may result in refugees making better use of existing testing services
