  • Understanding why EmpaTeach did not reduce teachers’ use of violence in Nyarugusu Refugee Camp

    Open AccessCristina Fabbri, Timothy Powell-Jackson et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    EmpaTeach was the first intervention to address teacher violence to be tested in a humanitarian setting and the first to focus on reducing impulsive use of violence, but a cluster randomised trial found no evidence that the intervention was effective in reducing physical and emotional violence from teachers. We aimed to understand why. We conducted a quantitative process evaluation to describe the intervention implementation process (what was imp…

  • Pathways to reduced physical intimate partner violence among women in north-western Tanzania

    Open AccessTanya Abramsky, Diana Sanchez Guadarrama et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Intimate partner violence (IPV) affects over one-in-four women globally. Combined economic and social empowerment interventions are a promising IPV prevention model. However, questions remain on the mechanisms through which such interventions prevent IPV, and whether standalone social empowerment interventions can work in the absence of an economic component. This secondary analysis of MAISHA Study data (north-western Tanzania) explores pathways …

  • To use or not to use

    Open AccessManjula Bahuguna, Sushmita Das et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Rapid urbanization and a high unmet need for family planning in urban informal settlements point to the significance of identifying gaps that exist in the path of voluntary uptake of contraceptives. We undertook this study to better understand the perspectives related to family planning among women living in informal settlements of Mumbai. We used a mixed-methods approach, including a cross-sectional survey with 1407 married women of reproductive…

  • Social support and very young adolescent girl’s knowledge on sexual relationships

    Open AccessWanangwa Chimwaza Manda, Mphatso Kamndaya et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Early sexual relationships are associated with an increased risk of acquiring sexually transmitted diseases including HIV/AIDs, teenage pregnancies, and unsafe abortions among other negative health outcomes. Understanding sexual relationships among very young adolescents (VYAs) is important to equip them to protect themselves from negative sexual health (SH) outcomes. DREAMS ( D etermined, R esilient, E mpowered, A IDS-free, M entored, and S afe)…

  • Intra-urban differentials in the exclusive use of hygienic methods during menstruation among young women in India

    Open AccessAditya Singh, Mahashweta Chakrabarty et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Menstrual hygiene among women is a critical public health issue in urban India, but it remains understudied and under-researched. However, to our knowledge, no national level study in India has yet examined the differentials in the exclusive use of hygienic methods among young women (aged 15–24) in urban India. This study attempts to fill this gap by analysing biodemographic, socioeconomic, and geographic differentials in the exclusive use of hyg…

  • Impact of DREAMS interventions on experiences of violence among adolescent girls and young women

    Open AccessElvis Omondi Achach Wambiya, Annabelle Gourlay et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    DREAMS aims to reduce HIV incidence among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) by tackling drivers of HIV risk including gender-based violence. We evaluate the impact of DREAMS on recent experiences of violence perpetuated by men against AGYW. AGYW cohorts were randomly selected from demographic platforms in South Africa (rural KwaZulu-Natal) and Kenya (Nairobi informal settlements and rural Gem sub-county). AGYW aged 13–22 years were enrolled…

  • Economic evaluation of a conditional cash transfer to retain women in the continuum of care during pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period in Kenya

    Open AccessTom Palmer, Neha Batura et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    There is limited evidence on the cost and cost-effectiveness of cash transfer programmes to improve maternal and child health in Kenya and other sub-Saharan African countries. This article presents the economic evaluation results of the Afya trial, assessing the costs, cost-effectiveness and equity impact of a demand-side financing intervention that promotes utilisation of maternal health services in rural Kenya. The cost of implementing the Afya…

  • ‘You don’t have to sleep with a man to get how to survive’

    Open AccessLinda Mason, Garazi Zulaika et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    In sub-Saharan Africa, girls suffer from high rates of morbidity and mortality, enduring high exposure to sexual and reproductive health harms. Staying in school helps protect girls from such harms. Focus group discussions were conducted in a rural, impoverished area of Kenya with adolescent girls participating in a 4-arm cluster randomised controlled trial, evaluating menstrual cups, cash transfer, or combined cups plus cash transfer against con…

  • Staff perspectives on the impact of Covid 19 on the delivery of specialist domestic abuse services in the UK

    Open AccessHelen Riddell, Catherine Haighton et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Domestic abuse is a significant public health issue effecting 2.4 million adults in England and Wales each year. In March 2020 the World Health Organisation declared a global pandemic following the outbreak of COVID-19. As a result, the UK moved to a period of lockdown. There is growing evidence that highlights the unintended negative consequences of lockdown, particularly in households where abuse is present. The aim of this study was to explore…

  • Using the Covid-19 pandemic to reimagine global health teaching in high-income countries

  • Understanding the linkages between social safety nets and childhood violence

    Open AccessAmber Peterman, Anastasia Neijhoft et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2017

    As many as one billion children experience violence every year, and household- and community-level poverty are among the risk factors for child protection violations. Social safety nets (SSNs) are a main policy tool to address poverty and vulnerability, and there is substantial evidence demonstrating positive effects on children's health and human capital. This paper reviews evidence and develops a framework to understand linkages between non-con…

    Objectives. To assess the oft-perceived protective relationship between women’s asset ownership and experience of intimate partner violence (IPV) in the previous 12 months. Methods. We used international survey data from women aged 15 to 49 years from 28 Demographic and Health Surveys (2010–2014) to examine the association between owning assets and experience of recent IPV, matching on household wealth by using multivariate probit models.
