A qualitative exploration of health-related present bias among HIV-positive adults in Uganda
Decision-making errors such as present bias (PB) can have important consequences for health behaviors, but have been largely studied in the financial domain. We conducted a mixed-method study on PB in the context of ART adherence among clinic-enrolled adults in Uganda (n = 39). Specifically, we quantified PB by asking about preferences between medication available sooner to minimize headaches versus available later to cure headaches. We describe …
Food Insecurity During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The role of material deprivations in determining ART adherence
Despite sustained global scale-up of antiretroviral therapy (ART), adherence to ART remains low. Less than half of those in HIV care in Uganda achieve 85% adherence to their ART medication required for clinically meaningful viral suppression, leaving them at higher risk of transmission. Key barriers to ART adherence include poverty-related structural barriers that are inter-connected and occur simultaneously, making it challenging to examine and …
The one who doesn’t take ART medication has no wealth at all and no purpose on Earth” – a qualitative assessment of how HIV-positive adults in Uganda understand the health and wealth-related benefits …
PLWH consider short and long-term health benefits of ART. Programming designed to shape ART uptake and increase adherence should emphasize the broader benefits of ART at various levels. Having such benefits directly integrated into the design of clinic-based HIV interventions can be useful especially for PLWH who face competing interests to increase medication adherence. These benefits can ultimately help providers and policymakers better underst…
Randomized Controlled Trial of Rise, A Community-Based Culturally Congruent Counseling Intervention to Support Antiretroviral Therapy Adherence Among Black/African American Adults Living with HIV
Increased Depression during Covid-19 Lockdown Associated with Food Insecurity and Antiretroviral Non-Adherence among People Living with HIV in Uganda
Lessons learned from a mobile technology-based intervention informed by behavioral economics to improve ART adherence among youth in Uganda
Evidence suggests that simple text messaging interventions may not suffice to improve ART adherence among youth in low-resource settings. To address this shortcoming, we developed an intervention that shared weekly real-time adherence feedback to youth in Uganda using short message services (SMS), based on information tracked by an electronic device (Wisepill). We present results from 7 formative and 6 exit focus groups (FGs) in Mulago and Entebb…

The costs of integrated community case management (iCCM) programs
BACKGROUND: Integrated community case management (iCCM) can be an effective strategy for expanding the provision of diarrhea, pneumonia, and malaria services to children under 5 years old but there are concerns in some countries about the corresponding cost and impact. This paper presents and compares findings from a multi-country analysis of iCCM program costs. METHODS: Data on coverage, utilization, and costs were collected as part of two sets …
