Attitudes, perceived knowledge, and experiences regarding condom use, STIs, transactional sex, and healthcare utilization among young male forced migrants in Stockholm, Sweden
BACKGROUND: The experience of forced migration, along with post-migration stressors, can elevate the risk of poor sexual health outcomes among young people. Despite this, little evidence is available on the sexual health needs, behaviors, and healthcare utilization of young male forced migrants in Sweden and elsewhere. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to explore the attitudes, perceived knowledge, experiences, and needs of young Eritrean, Afghan, and S…
Maternal exposure to intimate partner violence and its association with diarrhoea prevalence and treatment among children under five in Nepal
Diarrhoeal disease remains a critical public health concern, and a leading cause of death among children under the age of five. Increasingly, studies are also showing a relationship between child diarrhoea and maternal exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV). This study assessed the relationship between maternal experience of different forms of IPV and child diarrhoea prevalence and treatment-seeking in Nepal. Study participants included chil…
Prevalence and associated factors of selling sex among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Latin America
INTRODUCTION: Selling sex has been associated with negative social and health outcomes, but most studies have been limited geographically and have not distinguished between selling and buying sex. This study assesses prevalence and factors associated with selling sex in the last 12 months among men who have sex with men (MSM) in 18 Latin American countries. METHODS: Data were collected in 2018 through the Latin American MSM Internet Survey, a cro…

BACKGROUND: Young migrants face multiple challenges that can affect their mental, sexual and reproductive health. OBJECTIVE: To assess the prevalence of self-reported poor mental health and its associated demographic, post-migration and sexual risk behaviour factors among young migrants (aged 15-25) in Sweden. METHODS: = 6449). Among these, 990 participants aged 15-25 were eligible for the study. Mental health was measured using the Refugee Healt…
Young people’s constructions of gender norms and attitudes towards violence against women
A growing body of work highlights the increasing significance of violence against women (VAW) in the lives of young people. Research focusing on young people’s gendered attitudes and beliefs towards VAW has a key role to play in explaining and addressing this serious societal phenomenon, but to date, there has been no critical synthesis of empirical literature. This article addresses this lacuna by critically reviewing qualitative empirical resea…
Integration of human papillomavirus associated anal cancer screening into HIV care and treatment program in Pakistan
Although policy makers and health providers in Pakistan saw a clear need to scale-up and integrate anal cancer screening for key populations, the feasibility of this is dependent on political will, financing, anti-stigma and discrimination interventions and health system efficiency
Human Papillomavirus associated prevention
The findings from this study can help public health policy and researchers to understand this minority's perspective on HPV prevention. Given the low level of knowledge about HPV infection and its negative health consequences there is a need of HPV education combined with STI education and awareness through HPV brochures to educate the target population effectively
Prevalence and risk factors for transactional sex among Swedish-born and foreign-born MSM in Sweden
The comparatively high prevalence of TS among MSM participants in Sweden, where buying sex is illegal, with a higher prevalence among foreign-born MSM participants, calls for sexual and reproductive health and rights interventions in this population. Increased attention, including HIV prevention programming and education, should be aimed at younger MSM, MSM struggling with their current income, and foreign-born MSM, as they are more likely to rep…
Sexual risk-taking behaviors among young migrant population in Sweden
The results highlight the needed reconsideration of the broader system response that can influence migrant youth health outcomes and public health implications. The approach should consider and relate to sexual risk-taking behavior's long-term consequences. Migrant youth background needs and knowledge should guide this response
Economic vulnerability, violence, and sexual risk factors for HIV among female sex workers in Tijuana, Mexico
Homecare for sick family members while waiting for medical help during the 2014-2015 Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone
INTRODUCTION: Caring for an Ebola patient is a known risk factor for disease transmission. In Sierra Leone during the outbreak in 2014/2015, isolation of patients in specialised facilities was not always immediately available and caring for a relative at home was sometimes the only alternative. This study sought to assess population-level protective caregiving intentions, to understand how families cared for their sick and to explore perceived ba…
Tranquility is a child with a full belly
A growing body of literature identifies food insecurity (FI) as a critical social determinant of mental health. Across settings, quantitative studies report positive correlations between FI and mental distress, especially among women. Less understood are the pathways by which FI undermines women's mental well-being. To address this gap, we conducted six focus group discussions with 45 Nicaraguan mothers. Thematic analysis identified three themes …
Experiencing sexual harassment by males and associated substance use & poor mental health outcomes among adolescent girls in the US
Findings suggest that sexual harassment experiences are pervasive, occur in girls' immediate and everyday environments, and are associated with girls' substance use and adverse mental health outcomes
Caesarean sections in the in the context of the Chiranjeevi Yojana public private partnership program to promote institutional birth in Gujarat, India; does the embedded disincentive for caesarean sec…
The Gujarat government is trying to ensure access to EmOC (including CS) for its vulnerable population through CY. The embedded disincentive to prevent unnecessary cesareans by private obstetricians is a novel one, and appears to work, though one could argue it works 'over-efficiently' by depriving some women who need CS from receiving one under the program. The state needs to revisit and review what is happening in the program periodically, and …
Students and brides
Social norms of early marriage, financial burden of school fees, and minimal opportunity for girls beyond marriage affect girls' education. Nonetheless, some girls manifest psychological resiliency in these settings and, with support from parents and teachers, are able to stay in school and delay marriage. Unfortunately, girls less academically inclined, and those who do marry early, are less supported by family and existing programs to remain in…
A Mixed Methods Analysis of the Venue-Related Social and Structural Context of Drug Use During Sex Among Male Clients of Female Sex Workers in Tijuana, Mexico
We Were Isolated and We Had to Do Whatever They Said
Trafficked adolescent girls are at increased risk for sexual and physical abuse, HIV and STI (sexually transmitted infections) acquisition, mental health, and reproductive issues. While sex trafficking, in relation to adverse health outcomes, has been documented in prior research, this has been mainly explored once girls and women are already in the sex industry. However, less is known about the specific scenarios and contexts related to the recr…

Intimate Partner Violence Among Female Sex Workers and Their Noncommercial Male Partners in Mexico
Utilizing mixed methods, we examined intimate partner violence (IPV) behaviors among 428 female sex workers (FSWs) who use drugs and their noncommercial male partners in Tijuana and Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. Half of all participants reported perpetrating and experiencing at least one type of IPV behavior in the past year. In interviews, drug use emerged as an important theme associated with IPV behaviors, and we found men and women differed in their…
He invited me and didn't ask anything in return” Migration and Mobility as Vulnerabilities for Sexual Exploitation among Female Adolescents in Mexico
Although human trafficking is recognized as a major human rights violation, there is limited evidence regarding the vulnerabilities that contribute to female adolescents' risk of being forced or coerced into the sex trade. Vulnerabilities such as gender-based violence, economic and social inequalities have been shown to shape the risk of sexual exploitation among adolescents. In-depth interviews (n=18) with current sex workers who reported being …
Bypassing health facilities for childbirth
BACKGROUND: Bypassing available facilities for childbirth has important implications for maternal health service delivery and human resources within a health system. The results are the additional expenses imposed on the woman and her family, as well as the inefficient use of health system resources. Bypassing often indicates a lack of confidence in the care provided by the facility nearest to the mother, which implies a level of dysfunctionality…
Out-of-pocket expenditures for childbirth in the context of the Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY) cash transfer program to promote facility births
OOPE is prevalent among JSY beneficiaries as well in home deliveries. In JSY, OOPE varies by income quintile: wealthier quintiles pay more OOPE. However the cash incentive is adequate enough to provide a net gain for all quintiles. OOPE was largely due to indirect costs and not direct medical payments. The program seems to be effective in providing financial protection for the most vulnerable groups
Is Institutional Delivery Protective Against Neonatal Mortality Among Poor or Tribal Women? A Cohort Study From Gujarat, India
Objectives In low-income settings, neonatal mortality rates (NMR) are higher among socioeconomically disadvantaged groups. Institutional deliveries have been shown to be protective against neonatal mortality. In Gujarat, India, the access of disadvantaged women to institutional deliveries has increased. However, the impact of increased institutional delivery on NMR has not been studied here. This paper examined if institutional childbirth is asso…
The Real Versus the Ideal
Marriage is a rite of passage in U.S. culture influenced by fairy-tale expectations presented in the media and perpetuated through gender role socialization. Our study tested endorsement of marriage myths and benevolent sexism as predictors of engaged heterosexual college women’s premarital relationship outcomes and psychological well-being. Women in heterosexual relationships ( N = 99) completed an online questionnaire 6–12 months before their w…

The Supportive Process for Ending Intimate Partner Violence After Pregnancy
This grounded theory study found that Nicaraguan mothers exposed to intimate partner violence (IPV) during pregnancy eventually acted to protect their children and themselves. They experienced ending abuse as an empowerment process characterized by a cognitive change in women's attitudes toward partner abuse and the emergence of help-seeking strategies that lead to ending violence with or without ending the relationship. This process was facilita…
Ending Intimate Partner Violence after pregnancy
A considerable proportion of women reported end of violence. This might be related to a favourable change in women's norms and attitudes toward gender roles and violence and a more positive attitude towards interventions from people outside their family to end abuse. Maintaining and improving social resources and decreasing partner control and isolation are key interventions to ending abuse. Abuse inquiring may also play an important role in this…

Exposure to intimate partner violence reduces the protective effect that women’s high education has on children’s corporal punishment
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown that women's education is protective against corporal punishment (CP) of children. However, the effect that women's exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV) has on the association between women's education and children's CP has not been studied. OBJECTIVE: To understand how the interaction between women's exposure to IPV and their education level influences the occurrence of children's CP at the househol…
Who is using the morning-after pill? Inequalities in emergency contraception use among ever partnered Nicaraguan women; findings from a national survey
This study provides sound evidence supporting the hypothesis that there are inequalities in HEC use even in countries where inequalities in use to other forms of contraceptive technology has been reduced. HEC use among Nicaraguan women is strongly influenced by individual factors such as age, residency, educational level, socioeconomic status, and exposure to different forms of IPV. It is paramount that actions are taken to diminish these gaps
