Correlates of Severe Psychological Distress Among Adults Living with HIV in Western Kenya
Personal and Vicarious Overdose Experiences Among People Who Co-Use Stimulants and Opioids
BACKGROUND: Overdose is a leading cause of death in the United States, with nearly half of recent fatalities involving both opioids and stimulants. People who use drugs (PWUD) frequently experience and witness overdose, yet relatively little is known about how overdose is experienced and processed by those who survive it, or the factors shaping subsequent changes in drug use behavior, risk practices, or care-seeking. METHODS: This study is a seco…
“Especially Being Homeless, They Just Think You’re Infected with Covid or Something”
People experiencing homelessness with a substance use disorder are a highly structurally vulnerable population, facing a unique burden of compounding stigma, discrimination, and adverse health outcomes. Evidence remains mixed on best practices for housing interventions designed to best meet the needs of this population. Ten people with a history of injection drug use experiencing homelessness during the COVID-19 pandemic were interviewed between …
‘ They just kind of disappeared’
Background Social networks shape substance use behaviors and health outcomes among people who inject drugs (PWID), yet the ways in which large-scale crises influence network dynamics, particularly through positive changes, remains underexplored. We examine the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on social networks of PWID and subsequent changes to substance use behaviors.Methods Twenty-eight in-depth interviews were conducted between July 2021 and Februar…
Drug treatment and support service utilization amidst the Covid-19 pandemic among people who inject drugs in Baltimore, Maryland
Perspectives on prescribed safer supply programs among people who inject drugs in Baltimore, Maryland
This study suggests strong acceptability of prescribed safer supply to address the U.S. opioid crisis, including overdose, violence, and associated healthcare costs. We recommend further U.S. research and pilot projects
Food insecurity is associated with greater difficulty accessing care among people living with HIV with or without comorbid non-communicable diseases in western Kenya
INTRODUCTION: The relationship between food insecurity and access to healthcare in low-resource settings remains unclear. Some studies find that food insecurity is a barrier to accessing care, while others report that food insecurity is associated with a greater need for care, leading to more care utilisation. We use data from the Harambee study in western Kenya to assess the association between food insecurity and difficulty accessing care among…
Drug Use-Related Discrimination in Healthcare Settings and Subsequent Emergency Department Utilization in a Prospective Cohort Study of People With a History of Injection Drug Use
BACKGROUND: People with a history of injection drug use face discrimination in healthcare settings that may impede their use of routine care, leading to greater reliance on the emergency department (ED) for addressing health concerns. The relationship between discrimination in healthcare settings and subsequent ED utilization has not been established in this population. METHODS: This analysis used longitudinal data collected between January 2014 …
Injection Behaviors and Use of Syringe Service Programs over Time among People Who Inject Drugs in Baltimore, Maryland
Introduction: People who inject drugs (PWID) are at increased risk for infectious disease transmission, including hepatitis C and HIV. Understanding trends in injection risk behaviors and syringe service program (SSP) use over time can help improve infectious disease prevention and other harm reduction services. Methods: Using National HIV Behavioral Surveillance System data from Baltimore, Maryland, we examined changes in receptive sharing of (1…
Relationship between patient activation and utilisation of health care and harm reduction services among people who inject drugs in Baltimore, Maryland
Understanding motivations and resilience-associated factors to promote timely linkage to HIV care
Understanding motivations and resilience-associated factors that help people newly diagnosed with HIV link to care is critical in the context of universal test and treat. We analyzed 30 in-depth interviews (IDI) among adults aged 18 and older in western Kenya diagnosed with HIV during home-based counseling and testing and who had linked to HIV care. A directed content analysis was performed, categorizing IDI quotations into a table based on linka…
Longitudinal patterns of use of stimulants and opioids in the Aids linked to the IntraVenous experience cohort, 2005–2019
First-hand accounts of structural stigma toward people who use opioids on Reddit
Economic outcomes among microfinance group members receiving community-based chronic disease care
Trajectories of drug treatment and illicit opioid use in the Aids Linked to the IntraVenous Experience cohort, 2014–2019
Adverse childhood experiences and comorbidity in a cohort of people who have injected drugs
Among people who have injected drugs, adverse childhood experiences were common and associated with increased occurrence of self-reported medical comorbidities. Findings highlight the persistent importance of adversity for physical health even in a population where all members have used drugs and there is a high burden of comorbidity
Continuity of Care is Associated with Higher Appointment Adherence Among HIV Patients in Low Clinician-to-Patient Ratio Facilities in Western Kenya
Mortality by cause of death during year 1 of the Covid-19 pandemic in a cohort of older adults from Baltimore Maryland who have injected drugs
A stakeholder-driven framework for measuring potential change in the health risks of people who inject drugs (PWID) during the Covid-19 pandemic
This measurement framework is intended to increase the quality and timeliness of research on the impacts of COVID-19 in the context of the current pandemic and future crises. Next steps include a ranking process to narrow the drivers of change in health risks to a concise set of indicators that adequately represent framework components, can be written as measurable indicators, and are quantifiable using existing data sources, as well as a publicl…
Barriers to ART adherence among school students living with HIV in Kenya
HIV has transformed from a serious acute illness with high rates of morbidity and mortality to a fairly easily managed chronic disease. However, children and adolescents living with HIV are yet to achieve similar improvement in their HIV care outcomes compared to adults. There have been a number of studies assessing the reasons for slower improvement in these age categories, mainly focusing on health systems, drug- and family- related barriers to…
The Relationship Between Household Microfinance Group Participation and Vaccine Adherence Among Children in Rural Western Kenya
Sexual Prejudice and Comfort to Provide Services to Men Who Have Sex with Men Among HIV Healthcare Workers in Western Kenya
Cultural adaptation and validation of a measure of prejudice against men who have sex with men among healthcare providers in western Kenya
Sexual prejudice toward men who have sex with men (MSM) is a pressing concern in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Given the high HIV infection risk among this population, sexual prejudice perpetuated by healthcare providers, affects access to and willingness of MSM to seek HIV care services. However, data on healthcare providers' attitudes towards MSM in SSA are limited, and there are no locally-adapted measures of sexual prejudice. We adapted a scale t…
Provider perspectives on the role of the patient as an active participant in HIV care
The World Health Organization (WHO) advocates for patients to play an active role in their healthcare in order to improve the quality of care delivery. However, there is limited research on provider perceptions of the role of the patient during a medical encounter in an HIV setting in Sub-Saharan Africa. This qualitative study was conducted between September 2014 and August 2015. Sixty healthcare providers were recruited using convenience samplin…

Identifying common barriers and facilitators to linkage and retention in chronic disease care in western Kenya
Our findings provide insight into the individual as well as broader structural factors that can deter or encourage linkage and retention that are relevant across communicable and non-communicable chronic diseases. The findings of the present study suggest that interventions should consider the logistical aspects of accessing care in addition to predisposing and need factors that may affect an individuals' decision to seek out and remain in approp…
