Comparing fears about paediatric HIV disclosure to the lived experiences of parents and guardians
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to: (1) follow parents and guardians through the process of paediatric HIV disclosure to understand how often pre-disclosure worries are realised; and (2) estimate the effects of disclosure on child, caregiver, and family well-being. DESIGN: We conducted a 12-month prospective cohort study in Zimbabwe with 123 primary caregivers of children ages 9 to 15 years who were HIV positive but did not know their serostatus at baseline.…
Early childhood parenting programs and community peacebuilding behaviors
Pathways from parent mental health to child outcomes in Liberia
Children in humanitarian settings face complex adversities that impact development. The interplay of caregiver mental health, couples' relationship quality, and parenting practices can both protect against adversity and contribute to it. The purpose of the study was to examine whether caregiver depressive symptoms are associated with increased couples' distress, in turn predicting fewer positive parent-child interactions and then worse child emot…
The Health Innovation Impact Checklist
Donor financing is increasingly relying on performance-based measures that demonstrate impact. As new technologies and interventions enter the innovation space to address global health challenges, innovators often need to model their potential impact prior to obtaining solid effectiveness data. Diverse stakeholders rely on impact modeling data to make key funding and scaling decisions. With a lack of standardized methodology to model impact and v…
Growing Up White Saviors
In an enduring moment of pandemic, racial reckoning, and grave economic inequalities, the question of how white people with privilege most effectively and ethically engage momentous social problems remains. I inquire whether those who have participated in the white savior complex earlier in their lives later commit to more critical, reflexive, and collective forms of social justice organizing. Based on 21 interviews and a survey with people who h…
Integrating Data to Evaluate a Global Health Grand Challenge
This article describes the integrated, mixed methods (MM) design used to evaluate the Saving Lives at Birth (SL@B) program. SL@B is a multi-stakeholder, donor-supported global health initiative to tackle maternal and neonatal mortality via innovation. Since SL@B’s launch in 2011, the program has supported 116 innovations through 147 awards around the globe. The evaluation for this large and complex program included a largely retrospective MM desi…
Caregiver self-efficacy to talk about sex predicts conversations about HIV transmission risk with perinatally infected young people in Zimbabwe
Given advances in care and treatment for HIV, perinatally infected young people are surviving into adolescence. These young people are making decisions about engaging in sexual relationships and it is critical to ensure they have the information they need to engage responsibly in sexual activity, particularly in an era where adherence to treatment could make their virus undetectable. The main objective of this analysis was to examine whether an H…
Refreshed Grounds for a Feminist Peace Studies
Our study was premised on a collective curiosity to understand why peace studies classrooms are filled with mostly women students. We put this investigation into conversation with the substantive body of peace studies literature that correlates militarism and sexism. We learned the following: The experience of marginalization led many women to take peace studies courses; many women learners noted how empathy was affirmed in peace studies; sociali…
Effects of a sister's death in childbirth on reproductive behaviors
Teaching Constructive Dialogue as a Social Medicine Tool for Peace
The social medicine learning communities of which we are a part comprise individuals from Uganda, Rwanda, Zimbabwe, Haiti, the United States, Canada, and Lebanon among other countries. United in an interest to understand and address the social and structural determination of health, learners have spanned a wide range of religious, ethnic, socioeconomic, and racial backgrounds. These diverse social locations have shaped lives in unique ways and gi…
The impact of the 2014 Ebola virus disease outbreak in Liberia on parent preferences for harsh discipline practices
Results support the need for family-based interventions, including strategies to help parents learn alternatives to harsh punishment
Circle of Praxis Pedagogy for Peace Studies

Vermont and Healthcare Reform Organizing
The human rights framework represents an important foundation of global activism for universalized healthcare. In the United States, in the state of Vermont, activists have recently centered on human rights claims in their efforts to pass successful, though tenuous, health reform legislation. This research, which examines single-payer and universal healthcare campaigns across the United States in the wake of the implementation of the Affordable C…
Negotiating Politics and Culture
Historically, culturally, and politically, the United States has maintained an ambivalent relationship with the discourse of international human rights. While integral to its codification as transnational principle and law, the United States has not moved significantly toward ratification of human rights conventions, nor has the language of human rights been widespread in US society. Within the context of this complicated relationship, this artic…
Forging Forgiveness
This paper is a case study analysis of the sociological phenomena of forgiveness occurring in an ongoing two-decade war in northern Uganda. Building on a long-term relationship with the region and utilizing the methods of participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and a qualitative questionnaire, I identify two especially important social mechanisms that correlate with the prevalence of forgiveness discourse amongst the Acholi people of…
Northern Uganda and paradigms of HIV prevention
In settings of armed conflict, traditional HIV prevention programmes that promote risk avoidance via abstinence and fidelity and risk reduction via condom use and needle exchange are not viable. In such contexts, HIV risk depends less on personal choice than on exposure to physical, emotional and structural violence. War in northern Uganda has created three realities (internally displaced people's camps, night commuters and child abductions) whic…
Framing HIV Prevention Discourse to Encompass the Complexities of War in Northern Uganda
In northern Uganda, physical and structural violence (political repression, economic inequality, and gender-based discrimination) increase vulnerability to HIV infection. In settings of war, traditional HIV prevention that solely promotes risk avoidance and risk reduction and assumes the existence of personal choice inadequately addresses the realities of HIV transmission. The design of HIV prevention strategies in northern Uganda must recognize …
