This study explores prevalence of child labor amongst adolescent refugees from South Sudan in two refugee settlements in Uganda, to understand impacts of child labor on mental health outcomes, and examines the influence of sex on these impacts. METHODS: Surveys were conducted …
Evaluating the reliability and validity of secondary reporting to measure gender-based violence in conflict and disaster
For prevalence of GBV, secondary reporting about neighbors can serve as a useful adjunct to standard survey methodology. Findings offer important initial insights into the consistency and accuracy of secondary reporting as a tool for field epidemiologists in humanitarian settings
The role of parental incarceration in predicting trajectories of child internalizing problems
Parental incarceration as a predictor of developmental trajectories of externalizing behaviors across adolescence
How gender- and violence-related norms affect self-esteem among adolescent refugee girls living in Ethiopia

Cardiovascular Disease Risk in Sexual Minority Women (18-59 Years Old)
The school participation effect
Little is known about the differential experiences with violence among girls in conflict-affected societies based on their involvement in formal education. A quantitative survey was conducted with girls between the ages of 10–14 across 14 sites in South Kivu, Democratic Republic of the Congo. The prevalence of three forms of violence was estimated across four levels of participation in formal education, and multivariable mixed effects logistic re…
Prevalence and associated risk factors of violence against conflict–affected female adolescents
BACKGROUND: Over half of displaced civilians in humanitarian emergencies are children, and these settings pose unique threats to children's safety with long-lasting consequences. Our study broadens the limited evidence on violence against adolescent girls in emergencies by estimating prevalence and predictors of violence among adolescent girls aged 13-14 in South Kivu, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), and aged 13-19 in refugee camps in the…
Latent class analysis of violence against adolescents and psychosocial outcomes in refugee settings in Uganda and Rwanda
The present results support the existing evidence-base concerning the association between violence and adverse mental health outcomes, while identifying differences in patterns and associations between refugee youth in two different contexts
The effect of gender norms on the association between violence and hope among girls in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
Findings support the utility of gender norms-transformative programming in increasing resilience of girls who have experienced sexual violence in humanitarian contexts
Human Trafficking and Emerging Sex Risk Environments in Vietnam
Young male sex workers (YMSW) in Vietnam have high rates of HIV and STIs, yet have poor access to healthcare due low knowledge, stigma, and economic constraints. In the process of implementing a Sexual Health Promotion intervention to engage YMSW in Ho Chi Minh City in healthcare, we identified a unique sex work venue, known as a "Shared House," in which YMSW provide sex under the direction of a manager who negotiates the terms of the transaction…
Prevalence and Behavioral Correlates of Depression and Anxiety Among Male Sex Workers in Vietnam

METHODS: Male sex workers ages 16 to 35 completed an interview that included the CES-D to assess depressive symptoms and the BAI to assess anxiety symptoms, as well as questions assessing drug and sexual risk practices.

Assessing the impact of microfinance programming on children
This paper presents an evaluation of the long-term impact of microfinance programmes on Acehnese children during the post-tsunami recovery. The study, conducted from June to August 2010, examined the impact of microfinance programming six years after the tsunami. The sample consisted of 185 microfinance participants, with a comparison group of 192 individuals who did not participate in microfinance programmes. All respondents were parents, interv…
Racial and mental illness stereotypes and discrimination
The Virginia Tech and Columbine High shootings are 2 of the deadliest school massacres in the United States. The present study investigates in a nationally representative sample how White Americans' causal attributions of these shooting moderate their attitudes toward the shooter's race. White Americans shown a vignette based on the Virginia Tech shooting were more likely to espouse negative beliefs about Korean American men and distance themselv…
Mapping the key issues shaping the landscape of global public health
A survey of global health experts attending an invited meeting provided a means to map key issues perceived to be shaping emerging global public health agendas. Eighty-five participants proposed three major issues likely to have the most significant impact on the field of global health in the coming years. Six raters grouped the resultant items, with multi-dimensional scaling (MDS) analysis producing a composite two-dimensional map depicting the …
Primary Care and Public Health Services Integration in Brazil’s Unified Health System
Objectives. We examined associations between transdisciplinary collaboration, evidence-based practice, and primary care and public health services integration in Brazil’s Family Health Strategy. We aimed to identify practices that facilitate service integration and evidence-based practice. Methods. We collected cross-sectional data from community health workers, nurses, and physicians (n = 262). We used structural equation modeling to assess prov…
Retention in the National Institute on Drug Abuse Clinical Trials Network Women and Trauma Study
This study aimed to identify factors that influenced retention in the National Institute on Drug Abuse-funded Women and Trauma Study, conducted within the Clinical Trials Network (CTN). Women (N=346) were recruited from and received treatment in 6 CTN-affiliated sites. Log-linear and logistic models were used to explore factors associated with retention. The mean number of treatment sessions attended was 6.8 (SD=3.9). Women with more education, h…
