Examining Mental Health, Social Support and Resilience Among Immigrant Women Living with HIV in the British Columbia Carma-CHIWOS Collaboration (BCC3) Study
Moving beyond illness
Peer-led community-based physical activity programming has gained popularity owing to its potential to improve health, wellbeing, and social connection, particularly within marginalised communities. The Positively Dance program was a community-based participatory research project designed by and for women living with HIV and/or other chronic illnesses. The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine participants’ perceptions and experiences …
Delivery of the women-centred HIV care model in Canadian HIV clinics
The Women-Centred HIV Care (WCHC) Model addresses women living with HIV's multifaceted healthcare needs, but its delivery remains unclear. This environmental scan examines the delivery of the WCHC Model in Canadian HIV clinics. Clinics were surveyed on health service delivery, then scored out of 10 in the six domains of the WCHC Model using a service-based score system. Generally, on-site services were assigned more value than off-site referrals.…
Understanding Research Participation Experiences Among Persons Identifying as African, Caribbean, and Black in British Columbia
What Is the Purpose of This Study/Review? To use community-based participatory research methods to understand previous research participation experiences, barriers and facilitators to research participation, and future health research priorities among
Understanding Research Participation Experiences Among Persons Identifying as African, Caribbean, and Black in British Columbia
Background: Health research in Canada has insufficiently engaged African, Caribbean, and Black (ACB) people, yielding under-representation of their priorities and unmet health needs. Objective: To understand research experiences and priorities among ACB people in British Columbia. Methods: Cross-sectional data from an online survey was summarized using descriptive statistics. Content analysis was used for open-ended text responses. Data collectio…
Chronic Pain, Mental Health, and Sense of Purpose in Life Among Women Living with HIV Compared to HIV-Negative Women in the British Columbia Carma-CHIWOS Collaboration (BCC3) Study
Sexual Activity, Pleasure, and Testosterone
Sexual health research comparing women with and without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) often pathologizes women living with HIV, overlooking biopsychosocial factors that may drive differences between groups. Low testosterone levels have been reported among women living with HIV; however, how this may impact sexual health outcomes remains unclear. We compared the prevalence of sexual activity and sexual pleasure between women with and without …
Factorial invariance of the Everyday Discrimination Scale among African, Caribbean, Black, and other racialized women living with and without HIV in British Columbia, Canada
Intention to Receive a Covid-19 Vaccine by HIV Status Among a Population-Based Sample of Women and Gender Diverse Individuals in British Columbia, Canada
Intention to receive a Covid-19 vaccine
To optimize vaccine coverage, public health should focus on key messages around vaccine safety and benefit, and leverage trusted practitioners for messaging. As certain key populations identified by NACI and ACIP for early immunization report a lower intention to vaccinate, there is a need for in-depth education and support for these communities to ensure optimal uptake
Premature Spinal Bone Loss in Women Living with HIV is Associated with Shorter Leukocyte Telomere Length
With advances in combination antiretroviral therapy (cART), people living with HIV are now surviving to experience aging. Evidence suggests that individuals living with HIV are at greater risk for low bone mineral density (BMD), osteoporosis, and fractures. Better understanding of the pathophysiology of bone health in women living with HIV (WLWH) is important for treatment strategies. The goal of this study was to explore new biological factors l…
Operationalizing mHealth to improve patient care
BACKGROUND: Mobile health (mHealth) applications have proliferated across the globe with much enthusiasm, although few have reached scale and shown public health impact. In this study, we explored how different contextual factors influenced the implementation, effectiveness and potential for scale-up of WelTel, an easy-to-use and evidence-based mHealth intervention. WelTel uses two-way SMS communication to improve patient adherence to medication …
