A significant unmet need for family planning exists among Zambian adolescent women aged 15-24. This study investigated knowledge, attitudes and behaviours regarding contraception use and associated barriers with obtaining contraception, among a group of female university students in Lusaka, Zambia. A descriptive qualitative study was conducted using focus-group discussions (FGDs). Through a preliminary online survey, enrolled university students …

Intimate partner violence perpetration and sexual risk behaviour
Open AccessH Luz Mcnaughton Reyes, Suzanne Maman et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2022
In this study we examined factors that predict involvement in different patterns of sexual risk behavior and IPV perpetration among young men in Tanzania ( n = 979), with a focus on identifying factors that distinguish men who engage in both behaviours from those who do not. Risk factors were drawn from three domains thought to be upstream drivers of both IPV and sexual risk: poverty, adverse childhood experiences, and inequitable gender norms. A…

Women’s perspectives on ImpACT
Brandon A Knettel, Marta Mulawa et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2019
HIV-infected women who have experienced sexual violence face unique challenges in their HIV care engagement and adherence to antiretroviral medications (ARVs). Improving AIDS Care after Trauma (ImpACT) is a brief counseling intervention aimed at reducing the negative impact of sexual trauma and HIV, building coping skills, and improving long-term HIV care engagement. We conducted a randomized controlled pilot trial of ImpACT with 64 women initiat…
Microfinance and health interventions
Open AccessPeter Balvanz, Thespina J Yamanis et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2018
Poverty is associated with numerous poor health outcomes. Youth unemployment in Tanzania is approximately 13.7%, and concentrates in urban areas. These youth lack relevant job skills and access to financial capital. Microfinance continues to be implemented globally to address poverty, and increasingly has been linked to health interventions. Men less frequently are recipients of microfinance loans. We offered microcredit to young men in an area o…

Peer network influence on intimate partner violence perpetration among urban Tanzanian men
Marta Mulawa, Lusajo J Kajula et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2018
Male perpetration of intimate partner violence (IPV) against women in Tanzania is widespread. Theory and empirical evidence suggest peer networks may play an important role in shaping IPV perpetration, although research on this topic in sub-Saharan Africa is limited. Grounded in social learning theory, social influence theory, and the theory of gender and power, the purpose of this study was to examine whether and how peer networks influence men'…

The role of relationship types on condom use among urban men with concurrent partners in Ghana and Tanzania
Paul J Fleming, Marta Mulawa et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2015
Multiple concurrent partnerships are hypothesized to be important drivers of HIV transmission. Despite the demonstrated importance of relationship type (i.e., wife, girlfriend, casual partner, sex worker) on condom use, research on concurrency has not examined how different combinations of relationship types might affect condom use. We address this gap, using survey data from a sample of men from Ghana (GH: n = 807) and Tanzania (TZ: n = 800) who…
Leveraging strong social ties among young men in Dar es Salaam
Open AccessSuzanne Maman, Lusajo J Kajula et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2015
Gender inequality is at the core of the HIV patterns that are evident in sub-Saharan Africa. Gender-based violence (GBV) and lack of economic opportunity are important structural determinants of HIV risk. We piloted a microfinance and health promotion intervention among social networks of primarily young men in Dar es Salaam. Twenty-two individuals participated in the microfinance component and 30 peer leaders were recruited and trained in the pe…

Health diplomacy and the adaptation of global health interventions to local needs in sub-Saharan Africa and Thailand
Open AccessSebastian Kevany, Gertrude Khumalo-Sakutukwa et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2012
Adaptation selection, development and approval during multi-site global health research studies should be a planned process that maintains fidelity to the study protocol. The successful implementation of appropriate site-specific adaptations may have important implications for intervention implementation, from both a service uptake and a global health diplomacy perspective
