Understanding why EmpaTeach did not reduce teachers’ use of violence in Nyarugusu Refugee Camp
EmpaTeach was the first intervention to address teacher violence to be tested in a humanitarian setting and the first to focus on reducing impulsive use of violence, but a cluster randomised trial found no evidence that the intervention was effective in reducing physical and emotional violence from teachers. We aimed to understand why. We conducted a quantitative process evaluation to describe the intervention implementation process (what was imp…
The association between violence victimization and subsequent unplanned pregnancy among adolescent girls in Uganda
Violence victimization is a risk factor for adolescent pregnancy in high-income, low violence prevalence countries, but longitudinal data are lacking from settings where violence and adolescent pregnancy are common, including sub-Saharan Africa. We also know little about contextual factors which modify this association. We analyzed data from the Contexts of Violence in Adolescence Cohort (CoVAC) study in Luwero District, Uganda. Primary students …

How to conduct good quality research on violence against children with disabilities
With careful planning, challenges in collecting data on disability and violence can be overcome to generate evidence in this neglected area
Implementation of the Good School Toolkit in Uganda
The trial is registered at clinicaltrials.gov , NCT01678846, August 24th 2012
Methods to increase reporting of childhood sexual abuse in surveys
BACKGROUND: Underreporting of childhood sexual abuse is a major barrier to obtaining reliable prevalence estimates. We tested the sensitivity and specificity of the face-to-face-interview (FTFI) method by comparing the number of disclosures of forced sex against a more confidential mode of data collection, the sealed-envelope method (SEM). We also report on characteristics of individuals associated with non-disclosure in FTFIs. METHODS: Secondary…
Ecological pathways to prevention

Global, regional, and national comparative risk assessment of 79 behavioural, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risks or clusters of risks in 188 countries, 1990–2013
The Good School Toolkit for reducing physical violence from school staff to primary school students
BACKGROUND: Violence against children from school staff is widespread in various settings, but few interventions address this. We tested whether the Good School Toolkit-a complex behavioural intervention designed by Ugandan not-for-profit organisation Raising Voices-could reduce physical violence from school staff to Ugandan primary school children. METHODS: We randomly selected 42 primary schools (clusters) from 151 schools in Luwero District, U…
Intimate partner violence victimization and alcohol consumption in women: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Associations between Intimate Partner Violence and Health among Men Who Have Sex with Men
‘Sasa! is the medicine that treats violence’. Qualitative findings on how a community mobilisation intervention to prevent violence against women created change in Kampala, Uganda
BACKGROUND: Intimate partner violence (IPV) violates women's human rights and is a serious public health concern. Historically strategies to prevent IPV have focussed on individuals and their relationships without addressing the context under which IPV occurs. Primary prevention of IPV is a relatively new focus of international efforts and what SASA!, a phased community mobilisation intervention, seeks to achieve. METHODS: Conducted in Kampala, U…
Violence against primary school children with disabilities in Uganda
In Uganda, disabled girls are at particular risk of violence, notably sexual violence. Schools may be a promising venue for intervention delivery. Further research on the epidemiology and prevention of violence against disabled and non-disabled children in low income countries is urgently needed
Intimate Partner Violence and Incident Depressive Symptoms and Suicide Attempts
“It’s Not Something You Have to Be Scared About”
Using data from a qualitative study on sexual health and condom use among Aboriginal young people in British Columbia, we explore young people’s views on pregnancy, fertility, and how these relate to sexually transmitted infection (STI) vulnerability. During 2004–2005, in-depth individual interviews were conducted with 15 young men and 15 young women who self-identified as Aboriginal. A descriptive thematic analysis is presented here. Aboriginal …
“I Like to Think I’m a Pretty Safe Guy but Sometimes a 40-Pounder* Will Change That”
We conducted a mixed methods study to explore links between substance use and sexual risk among Aboriginal young people in British Columbia, Canada. Individual in-depth interviews were conducted in 2004–2005 with 30 young people ages 15–19; we present a descriptive thematic analysis. Data from a 2003 provincially representative survey that included 2,467 Aboriginal young people attending secondary school were used to model relationships between s…

Intimate partner violence during pregnancy
We aimed to describe the prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV) during pregnancy across 19 countries, and examine trends across age groups and UN regions. We conducted a secondary analysis of data from the Demographic and Health Surveys (20 surveys from 15 countries) and the International Violence Against Women Surveys (4 surveys from 4 countries) carried out between 1998 and 2007. Our data suggest that intimate partner violence during a p…
I told him not to use condoms
Gendered power imbalances in heterosexual relationships are a key target of gender-sensitive STI risk reduction interventions. Gendered aspects of sexual behaviour have not been explored among Canadian indigenous young people, who are at elevated risk for STI relative to other young Canadians. We used data from in-depth qualitative interviews with 15 male and 15 female indigenous young people to explore gendered sexual behaviour and its implicati…
Factors Associated With the Sexual Behavior of Canadian Aboriginal Young People and Their Implications for Health Promotion
Objectives. We examined factors associated with having ever had sex, having more than 1 lifetime sexual partner, and condom nonuse at last incident of sexual intercourse among Canadian Aboriginal young people. Methods. We conducted a secondary analysis of data from the 2003 British Columbia Adolescent Health Survey, a cross-sectional survey of young people in grades 7 through 12. Results. Of 1140 young Aboriginal men, 34% had ever had sex; of the…
