Alcohol use is prevalent among people living with HIV and poses a significant barrier to antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence. This study evaluated the effectiveness of multilevel interventions in addressing the underlying reasons for drinking among men with HIV receiving ART in India. This secondary analysis of a randomized trial in Mumbai assessed the impact of counseling, group interventions, and advocacy on alcohol use. Participants complet…
Armed conflict effects in intimate partner violence
We explored women's narratives about their experiences as victim-survivors of multiple forms of armed conflict violence and intimate partner violence (IPV) in Colombia and examined pathways that clarify the relationships between these two types of violence. Thematic analysis of 47 interviews identified connections that explain how armed conflict influences IPV at all levels of the socio-ecology. At the societal level, armed conflict events amplif…

The Mediating Effect of Changes in Depression Symptoms on the Relationship between Health-Related Quality of Life and Alcohol Consumption
Heavy alcohol use is negatively affecting antiretroviral therapy adherence, mental health and health-related quality of life among people living with HIV (PLWH). This paper aims to test the mediation model examining whether changes in depression symptoms mediate in the relationship between health-related quality of life and alcohol use among male PLWH who consume alcohol in India. The study is guided by the stress-coping model, which posits that …

Multilevel and Multifactorial Interventions to Reduce Alcohol Consumption and Improve ART Adherence and Related Factors Among HIV Positive Men in Mumbai, India
Perspectives on Collaborative Research
Anthropology has always been concerned with those peoples in our world who have limited access to social, economic, and political resources. The community is not only the unit of study but the prime beneficiary of the research activity in the approach. Research skills are transferred directly to community leadership and residents. The community and its representatives control data, utilization, and dissemination more directly. All communities and…
Kidney progression project (KiPP)
Over the last two decades, a global epidemic of chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu) has emerged in rural, arid, agricultural, lowland areas. Endemic regions have reported 15 to 20% prevalence among residents aged 30-60 years. CKDu is a progressive and irreversible disease resulting in renal failure and death in the absence of dialysis or a kidney transplant. While much of the research has focused on identifying etiology, this projec…
Depression Among Alcohol Consuming, HIV Positive Men on ART Treatment in India
Sexual intimacy and marital relationships in a low-income urban community in India
Data from a six-year study of married women's sexual health in a low-income community in Mumbai indicated that almost half the sample of 1125 women reported that they had a negative view of sex with their husbands. Qualitative interviews and quantitative survey data identified several factors that contributed to this diminished interest including: a lack of foreplay, forced sex, the difficulty of achieving privacy in crowded dwellings, poor marit…
Mediating risk through young women’s marital arrangements and intimate relationships in low-income communities in urban India
This paper draws on ethnographic data collected from two low-income communities in Mumbai India to explore types of risk and intimacy associated with marital practices. A rapidly globalising India offers access to media, social networks and changing gender norms that create opportunities for young women. Concurrently, enduring patriarchal norms impact marriage and the development of intimacy. Young women whose parents decide on early arranged mar…
De la « complicité » des imams dans la promotion de l'équité de genre à Mumbai, en Inde
Les imams pourraient-ils, sans compromettre leur islamité, se faire les complices-promoteurs de l'équité de genre dans leur communauté et, si oui, comment et à quelles conditions ? C'est ici la question de fond que les auteurs taquinent dans cet article. À l'aide d'une méthode mixte, qualitative et quantitative, nous explorons cette (im)possible « complicité » à Mumbai, en Inde. Il s'agit de l'un des volets d'un programme de recherche plus large …
