Social influence on women's contraceptive use
Myriad barriers impede women's access to contraception in Uganda and affect their reproductive autonomy. Almost half of married women of reproductive age in Uganda want to avoid pregnancy and one-third are undecided, yet only 38% use modern contraception. Interventions harnessing the influence of women's social networks may help to overcome these barriers and support desired contraceptive use. Using population-based longitudinal, socio-centric ne…
‘We would look at the chickens as a source of security’
Background: Development interventions may promote sustainable livelihoods among participants via improved income generation, health, education, and quality of life. Within the development literature, microfinance institutions (MFIs) provide individuals with funds and/or start-up capital to develop small businesses. However, the evidence on whether MFIs are successful in ensuring sustainable livelihoods is mixed. In this study, we assessed partici…
Racism-based traumatic stress symptoms and risk for suicidal thoughts and behaviors among Black and Latine adolescents
RBTS symptoms may be relevant in identifying suicide-related risk, particularly suicide attempts, among Black and Latine adolescents. While these findings provide insights into the relationship between RBTS and suicide-related risk, the cross-sectional design limits causal inference, and the use of a convenience sample may limit generalizability to the broader Black and Latine populations. Tailored interventions that address the nuanced effects o…
A socioecological examination of father alcohol use in Kenya
Fathers' alcohol use impacts family well-being, including increased risk for violence, poor child outcomes, and low engagement in care. Yet few studies examine the drivers of alcohol use among fathers or the role of gendered expectations and sociocultural norms on use, especially in low-resource settings like Kenya. Understanding why fathers drink, the consequences of use, and barriers to care is key to designing scalable, responsive intervention…
The Role of Health Networks in Disseminating Knowledge about Infant HIV Testing in Rural Uganda
Early testing of infants exposed to HIV can significantly decrease mortality for those linked to HIV treatment. Infants exposed to HIV should first be tested at 6 weeks of age, but only 60% are tested as recommended. Little research has focused on the role of social networks in disseminating information about infant HIV testing. We conducted a cross-sectional, sociocentric network study of all adults living in a rural parish in Uganda (N=1,383) a…
Sources of Racial-Ethnic Socialization Messages Across Latine Adolescents’ Egocentric Social Networks
Racial-ethnic discrimination is ubiquitous among Latine adolescents and is a major risk factor for mental health problems. Racial-ethnic socialization (RES)—the transmission of messages about race and racism—is protective for Latine adolescents. Yet, the RES literature primarily focuses on parents as RES agents. Using a novel social network approach, this pilot feasibility study aimed to identify other sources of RES. Forty-four Latine adolescent…
Is racism like other trauma exposures? Examining the unique mental health effects of racial/ethnic discrimination on posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), major depressive disorder (MDD), and generali…
4.47, 95% CI [1.77, 11.32]). Overall, rPTEs demonstrated stronger associations with PTSD, MDD, and GAD compared to conventional PTEs. Findings align with racial trauma frameworks proposing that racial/ethnic discrimination is a unique traumatic stressor with distinct mental health impacts on ethnoracially minoritized youth.

Male circumcision uptake and misperceived norms about male circumcision
Background: Over the past decade, 15 high-priority countries in eastern and southern Africa have promoted voluntary medical male circumcision for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevention. The prevalence of male circumcision in Uganda nearly doubled from 26% in 2011 to 43% in 2016, but remains below the 2020 target level. Little is known about how common male circumcision is perceived to be, how accura…
Caregiver preferences for physically harsh discipline of children in rural Uganda
The high prevalence of physically harsh discipline preferences warrant interventions aimed at reframing caregivers' approaches to discipline
Adverse childhood experiences, alcohol consumption, and the modifying role of social participation
Background: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) include multiple forms of child maltreatment, including abuse and neglect, as well as other forms of household dysfunction. Studies from Uganda have revealed a high prevalence of child abuse, as well as one of the highest levels of alcohol consumption in Africa. Few population-based studies from Africa have estimated associations between ACEs and adult alcohol use, or assessed the potential bufferi…
Perceptions About Local ART Adherence Norms and Personal Adherence Behavior Among Adults Living with HIV in Rural Uganda
Perceived and misperceived norms about khat and/or cannabis use among adults in southwest Uganda
Normative vs personal attitudes toward persons with HIV, and the mediating role of perceived HIV stigma in rural Uganda
BACKGROUND: HIV stigma has well-documented negative impacts on HIV testing, transmission risk behavior, initiation of and adherence to antiretroviral therapy, and retention in care. We sought to assess the extent to which anticipated HIV stigma is based on misperceptions of normative attitudes toward persons with HIV, and to determine whether persons with HIV have stronger misperceptions compared with HIV-negative persons or persons of unknown se…
Adverse childhood experiences and adult cardiometabolic risk factors and disease outcomes
BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) pose a major threat to public health in sub-Saharan African communities, where the burden of these classes of illnesses is expected to double by 2030. Growing research suggests that past developmental experiences and early life conditions may also elevate CVD risk throughout the life course. Greater childhood stress and adversity are consistently associated with a range of adult CVDs and associated risk f…
Cigarette smoking and misperceived norms among adults in rural Uganda
Most adults overestimated cigarette smoking frequency among village peers. Men who incorrectly believed that frequent smoking was the norm were more likely to engage in frequent smoking themselves. Applying a 'social norms approach' intervention by promoting existing healthy norms may prevent smoking initiation or motivate reductions in smoking among men in rural Uganda
