    Open AccessDeborah J Carter, Charlie F M Pitcairn et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    We aimed to estimate the impact of poor mental health in early adolescence on subsequent poor mental health, depression, and violence victimisation in late adolescence and to determine whether young people living with disabilities experienced a stronger relationship between mental health and these outcomes.

  • The association between violence victimization and subsequent unplanned pregnancy among adolescent girls in Uganda

    Open AccessKatherine G Merrill, Louise Knight et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

We also know little about contextual factors which modify this association. We analyzed data from the Contexts of Violence in Adolescence Cohort (CoVAC) study in Luwero District, Uganda. Primary students …

  • Remote methods for research on violence against women and children

    Open AccessAmiya Bhatia, Ellen Turner et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2022

    Collecting data to understand violence against women and children during and after the COVID-19 pandemic is essential to inform violence prevention and response efforts. Although researchers across fields have pivoted to remote rather than in-person data collection, remote research on violence against women, children and young people poses particular challenges.

METHODS: We randomly selected 42 primary schools (clusters) from 151 schools in Luwero District, U…
