Age-disparate relationships at first sex and reproductive autonomy, empowerment, and sexual violence among adolescent girls and young women in Rwanda
Open AccessJacqueline Kunesh, Rebecca Hémono et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2024
Our results suggest a high prevalence of sexual violence among AGYW engaging in first sex with an age-disparate partner. However, we did not find evidence that ADR at first sex affects reproductive autonomy or empowerment within the first few years of sexual initiation. Further research is needed to explore the impact of ADR at first sex and longer-term trajectories of sexual behavior, empowerment and autonomy
Food Insecurity and Engagement in Transactional Sex Among Female Secondary Students in Rwanda
Open AccessLila A Sheira, Jonathan Izudi et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2023
The relationship between food insecurity and transactional sex is well recognized, but less is known about this relationship among adolescents. We analyzed cross-sectional baseline data from 3,130 female secondary students aged 12-19 enrolled in a three-arm, cluster randomized controlled trial to examine the association between food insecurity and transactional sex. The explanatory variable was food security and the outcome was ever engaging in t…
Patient preferences for HIV service delivery models; a Discrete Choice Experiment in Kisumu, Kenya
Open AccessRaphael Onyango Mando, Michelle Moghadassi et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022
Novel “differentiated service delivery” models for HIV treatment that reduce clinic visit frequency, minimize waiting time, and deliver treatment in the community promise retention improvement for HIV treatment in Sub-Saharan Africa. Quantitative assessments of differentiated service delivery (DSD) feature most preferred by patient populations do not widely exist but could inform selection and prioritization of different DSD models. We used a dis…
Machine learning with routine electronic medical record data to identify people at high risk of disengagement from HIV care in Tanzania
Open AccessCarolyn A Fahey, Linqing Wei et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022
Machine learning methods for health care delivery optimization have the potential to improve retention in HIV care, a critical target of global efforts to end the epidemic. However, these methods have not been widely applied to medical record data in low- and middle-income countries. We used an ensemble decision tree approach to predict risk of disengagement from HIV care (missing an appointment by ≥28 days) in Tanzania. Our approach used routine…
Feasibility and effectiveness of daily temperature screening to detect Covid-19 in a prospective cohort at a large public university
Open AccessShelley N Facente, L A Hunter et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021
Our study is the first, to our knowledge, that examines the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of daily temperature screening in a prospective cohort during an infectious disease outbreak, and the only study to assess these strategies in a university population. Daily temperature monitoring was feasible and acceptable; however, the majority of potentially infectious individuals were not detected by temperature monitoring, suggesting th…
