A scoping review of economic integration interventions and programs for refugees
Most refugees worldwide live in protracted exile, highlighting the need for policies and interventions that adopt sustainable, long-term approaches to support refugee integration. Economic integration is a central dimension of the broader integration process, influencing outcomes across multiple areas of life. This scoping review is among the first to systematically map research on programs and interventions aimed at promoting the economic integr…
Correlates of willingness to use pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among young people impacted by HIV in Uganda
We assessed the correlates of willingness to use PrEP among young people (YP) impacted by HIV in Uganda. This cross-sectional study included 905 YP aged 18-21 years, orphaned to AIDS and participating in a longitudinal study in Uganda. Willingness to use PrEP, the primary outcome, was measured using a hypothetical scenario. "If PrEP were safe, effective, free, and used by few people around you, how likely would you be willing to use it?" Independ…

Cost-Effectiveness of an Economic Empowerment and Family Intervention on Mental Health Among School-Going Adolescent Girls in Uganda, 2017‒2022
Objectives. To assess the cost-effectiveness of an economic empowerment and family intervention on mental health outcomes among school-going adolescent girls in Uganda from 2017 to 2022. Methods. We randomized adolescent girls aged 14 to 17 years into 3 arms: (1) health and sex education (usual care; n = 408), (2) youth development accounts (YDAs; n = 471), and (3) a combination intervention (YDA plus multiple family group [MFG]; n = 381). We fit…
The Association Between Interpersonal Factors, Stress, Anxiety, and Depression Among Junior High School Students in the Greater Accra Region
This study investigates depression among junior high school students in Ghana’s Greater Accra Region, focusing on interpersonal and mental health factors, addressing a crucial research gap in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs). Analyzing data from 800 students, we found anxiety to be a significant predictor of depression, with over threefold higher odds for students experiencing anxiety. Gender differences in depression prevalence were obse…
Understanding the oppression of Black girls and women within the global context
Throughout sub‐Saharan Africa and the African diaspora, there is documented oppression of girls and women. While many policies and laws have been created to improve the well‐being of this population, many of them are ineffective, oftentimes due to harmful cultural practices enshrined by systems of oppression. This paper conducts a cross‐cultural comparative analysis using the framework of intersectionality to explore the unique oppression that gi…
Preliminary impact of a combination intervention on intention to migrate and school absence among adolescent girls
Short‐term impact of a combination intervention on family cohesion
Child labor remains a concern in sub-Saharan Africa. Yet, evidence-based preventive efforts are limited. We analyzed longitudinal data from Ghanaian adolescent girls in a pilot randomized clinical trial testing the preliminary impact of a combination intervention on family cohesion as a protective factor against child labor and school dropout. While there was no statistical difference between the control and intervention groups at 9 months, the r…
Self‐esteem and self‐concept as correlates of life satisfaction and attitudes toward school among Ghanaian girls
During adolescence, youth experience several physical, psychosocial, and cognitive changes. Self-esteem and self-concept are identified as protective factors for adolescents in high-income countries, but studies are limited in sub-Saharan Africa. We examined the associations of self-esteem and self-concept with life satisfaction and attitudes toward school using baseline data from 97 Ghanaian adolescent girls at risk of school dropout. Ordinary L…

Anzansi Program Taught Me Many Things in Life”
Approximately 160 million children work as child laborers globally, 39% of whom are female. Ghana is one of the countries with the highest rates of child labor. Child labor has serious health, mental health, and educational consequences, and those who migrate independently for child labor are even at higher risk. Yet, evidence-based efforts to prevent unaccompanied child migration are limited. In this study, we examined the acceptability of a fam…
