“There’s no school that trains attitude”
Despite growing recognition of the need for adolescent-responsive HIV and sexual and reproductive (SRH) health services, implementation remains inconsistent, especially in Africa and other low - and middle-income countries where HIV rates are highest. Frontline health and social providers play a critical role in delivering care; however, little is known about their training needs or how to strengthen their capacity in these settings. This study d…
Supporting pregnant and mothering adolescents in their schooling
Perspectives from the frontline
Background: Nurses have a critical role to play in the delivery of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services to adolescents and young people. Nurses’ interactions with adolescents and young people can shape sexual and reproductive behaviours and outcomes, including willingness to access and engage with healthcare services. However, little research from low- and middle-income contexts has explored nurses’ firsthand perspectives regarding their…
Resilience among young mothers affected by HIV in South Africa
While growing evidence has documented risks and resilience to HIV and poor sexual and reproductive health (SRH) among young women, young mothers’ abilities to respond to and overcome challenges have been understudied. Developing appropriate methodologies to measure resilience in the context of HIV, especially among young mothers, is a critical first step to filling this gap. We aimed to improve the relevance, and comprehensibility of an open-acce…
Improving educational and reproductive outcomes for adolescent mothers in South Africa
Adolescent mothers face numerous challenges. This study aimed to address the operationalisation of the new South African national policy for young mothers by testing the associations of potential protective provisions with three policy goals: School return, grade promotion, and pregnancy/HIV prevention. Adolescent mothers aged 12-24 from rural and urban communities of South Africa's Eastern Cape completed study questionnaires between 2017-2019. U…
Learning together
Despite the need for inclusive education in South Africa, many teachers have not been appropriately trained for the inclusion process for learners with disabilities in classrooms. A consideration of teacher education for inclusive education involves examining both the structural and professional barriers to training that prevent effective implementation. We review the outcomes of a teacher education project in South Africa through three studies t…
Dealing with disability as ‘matter out of place’
Globally, education of children with disabilities increasingly occurs in inclusive school settings, requiring specialised teacher education. Scholars emphasise relational and instrumental skills, to overcome prejudice and exclusion. Visual impairment (VI) is emotionally evocative, presenting particular challenges to inclusion. Using data from in-service teacher education for VI inclusion in South Africa, this theoretical paper explores the person…
Perspectivas sobre a educação de alunos com deficiência na África do Sul
A África do Sul estabeleceu um sistema de Educação Inclusiva que mantém escolas especiais para atender estudantes que demandam grandes necessidades de apoio e centros de apoio vizinhos às escolas comuns. Embora haja discussão sobre o que agregam ou não as escolas especiais, existem relativamente poucos estudos que se propõem a compartilhar as perspectivas de estudantes dessas escolas. Este estudo baseia-se em entrevistas com 39 estudantes de seis…

Narratives of Gang Disengagement Among Former Gang Members in South Africa
Understanding gang disengagement is important for the development of effective interventions. This research sought to examine how former South African gang members understand their gang disengagement. Two rounds of life history interviews were conducted with 12 former gang members. Thematic narrative analysis was used to analyze the interview data. Findings revealed that personal agency was key to the participants’ disengagement, which included f…
Reconceptualising teacher education for teachers of learners with severe to profound disabilities
This paper considers teacher education for teachers of learners with severe to profound disabilities (SPD) in South Africa, in both formal and non-formal learning programmes within a disability studies in education framework. Qualitative data were collected from a range of education stakeholders including non-governmental (NGOs) and disabled people organisations (DPOs). Based on a thematic analysis, findings show limited pre-service teacher educa…
Strengthening teacher education to support deaf learners
Deaf learners are among the most disadvantaged when it comes to educational outcomes in South Africa. The aim of this paper, therefore, is to explore the educational needs of learners who are deaf and use the findings as a basis from which to strengthen their education. This research employed a qualitative research design, drawing on interviews with deaf learners, teachers, school management team members (SMTs) and parents. Data were analysed usi…
A systematic review of the South African work on the well-being of young people (2000–2016)
Burgeoning research on the well-being of young people in recent years has made it difficult to identify conceptual gaps in the literature. We conducted a review of South African research in this area to better understand the use and measurement of the construct, as well as factors associated with it. The search of multiple databases identified 28 studies published in academic journals between 2000 and 2016. Within this period, studies that referr…
Tuberculosis Incidence Among Populations at High Risk in California, Florida, New York, and Texas, 2011–2015
Objectives. To illustrate the magnitude of between-state heterogeneities in tuberculosis (TB) incidence among US populations at high risk for TB that may help guide state-specific strategies for TB elimination. Methods. We used data from the National Tuberculosis Surveillance System and other public sources from 2011 to 2015 to calculate TB incidence in every US state among people who were non–US-born, had diabetes, or were HIV-positive, homeless…
Process Evaluation of a Parenting Program for Low-Income Families in South Africa
Objective: This mixed-methods process evaluation examined the feasibility of a parenting program delivered by community facilitators to reduce the risk of child maltreatment in low-income families with children aged 3–8 years in Cape Town, South Africa ( N = 68). Method: Quantitative measures included attendance registers, fidelity checklists, satisfaction surveys, and engagement in home practice activities. Qualitative data included parent inter…
Community Health Worker Performance in the Management of Multiple Childhood Illnesses
Objectives. To characterize community health worker (CHW) performance using an algorithm for managing common childhood illnesses in Siaya District, Kenya, we conducted CHW evaluations in 1998, 1999, and 2001. Methods. Randomly selected CHWs were observed managing sick outpatient and inpatient children at a hospital, and their management was compared with that of an expert clinician who used the algorithm. Results. One hundred, 108, and 114 CHWs p…
Aids deaths shift from hospital to home. Aids Mortality Project Group
OBJECTIVE. This study monitors trends in place of death among persons with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) as a measure of health care usage patterns and terminal health care among persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). METHODS. Sixteen health departments collected death certificates for 55,186 persons with AIDS whose deaths occurred through 1991. Place of death was categorized as hospital, residence, hospice or nursi…
