Residence and young women’s comprehensive HIV knowledge in Ethiopia
Rural residence was negatively associated with comprehensive HIV knowledge only in women who have never been tested for HIV. These findings suggest that the development and implementation HIV education and awareness programs should target rural areas, especially where there is limited access to HIV testing
Secondary data analysis to answer questions in human biology
Despite a growing number of publicly available datasets, the use of these datasets for secondary analyses in human biology is less common compared with other fields. Secondary analysis of existing data offers an opportunity for human biologists to ask unique questions through an evolutionary and biocultural lens, allowing for an analysis of cultural and structural nuances that affect health. Leveraging publicly available datasets for human biolog…
Association between HIV/Aids knowledge and stigma towards people living with HIV/Aids in Botswana
In Botswana, an estimated 350 000 people live with HIV/AIDS. HIV/AIDS testing rates are low, suggesting that many other people remain undiagnosed. Stigma related to HIV/AIDS is prevalent and contributes to low testing rates and under-diagnosis of the virus. Identifying factors that contribute to stigma, such as insufficient or inaccurate knowledge of HIV/AIDS, may be critical in increasing early identification and treatment. This cross-sectional …
Association between antenatal care follow-up and institutional delivery service utilization: Analysis of 2016 Ethiopia demographic and health survey
Antenatal care follow-up was significantly associated with institutional delivery service utilization. As the number of antenatal care visits increased the odds of facility delivery increased. Thus, improved access and utilization of antenatal care can be an effective strategy to increase institutional deliveries and optimal maternal and child health outcomes
Caregiving
Caregiving is an issue of rising global importance. Cross‐disciplinary research on caregiving has increased substantially since the mid‐1980s. The primary focus has been on the need for care of older persons who are prone to multiple chronic diseases, frailty, and declining functional capacity. This research has assisted our understanding of the emotional, physical, and moral dimensions of caregiving. In addition to studying the caregiving for ol…
If I went to my mom with that information, I’m dead’: Sexual health knowledge barriers among immigrant and refugee Somali young adults in Ohio
Study findings support an approach that will address sexual health barriers in the Somali immigrant young community at multiple levels: individual, interpersonal and community levels. A collaborative effort across religious, cultural and educational setting is necessary to tailor approaches that meet the needs of the priority group
The impact of multimorbidity on adult physical and mental health in low- and middle-income countries: What does the study on global ageing and adult health (Sage) reveal?
BACKGROUND: Chronic diseases contribute a large share of disease burden in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Chronic diseases have a tendency to occur simultaneously and where there are two or more such conditions, this is termed as 'multimorbidity'. Multimorbidity is associated with adverse health outcomes, but limited research has been undertaken in LMICs. Therefore, this study examines the prevalence and correlates of multimorbidity as…

Stress associated with caregiving: An examination of the stress process model among Kenyan Luo elders
Caregiving, gender, and nutritional status in Nyanza Province, Kenya: Grandmothers gain, grandfathers lose
UNLABELLED: Based on anecdotal and qualitative reports, a general assumption is that caregiving negatively impacts grandparents in Africa. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this article is to determine how caregiving and gender impact nutritional status over four waves of data from Luo elders. METHODS: Luo elders, aged 60 and over (age 73.6 ± 7.9) were sampled. Participant recruitment was rolling and included 287 Luo grandparents in 2005, 396 in 2006, 3…
Does being an orphan decrease the nutritional status of Luo children
The HIV/AIDS pandemic is creating a generation of orphaned children in Africa. The number of orphans will continue to increase long after the HIV/AIDS crisis has peaked; therefore, it is important to determine how best to assist these children. Current studies investigating the impact of orphanhood have conflicting results and conclusions. Several studies report that orphans are at a disadvantage and are more likely to suffer from malnutrition, w…

Measuring Stress Among Luo Elders: Development of the Luo Perceived Stress Scale
This article describes the development of the Luo Perceived Stress Scale (LPSS) tested on two hundred Luo elders. The LPSS consists of twenty-three emotions and uses alternating "local idioms of distress" and well-being. Due to the low level of education of the population, a yes/no format is used instead of a Likert-type scale. The scale was tested among two hundred Luo elders and was found to be internally reliable (α = .75). Criterion validity …
Technological Advances in Observational Data Collection: The Advantages and LImitations of Computer-Assisted Data Collection
Quantitative behavioral observation can add a great deal of depth to anthropological research. The development of laptops, handheld computers, and observational software has given researchers enhanced flexibility in sampling strategies and assistance in training and establishing reliability; it has also greatly reduced the amount of time required for data entry. With technological advances, more researchers should be able to incorporate quantitat…
