Decolonizing global health research
Decolonizing global health research involves rethinking power structures and research collaboration to prioritize the voices and experiences of communities that have been historically marginalized. Cross-sectoral and cross-regional partnerships based on reciprocity, trust, and transparency can be facilitated by decolonized research frameworks. To address global health issues in a way that is inclusive, context-specific, and genuinely advantageous…
Community Engagement in Long Covid Research
INTRODUCTION: Long Covid and other infection-associated chronic condition communities have been integral in advocating for patient engagement in all stages of research, from design and conduct, and implementation, through to interpretation and knowledge translation; nevertheless, the process varies across research teams. In this paper, we (1) describe our process undertaking a community-engaged Long Covid research study; (2) evaluate our communit…
Conceptualising the episodic nature of disability among adults living with Long Covid
INTRODUCTION: Our aim was to describe episodic nature of disability among adults living with Long COVID. METHODS: We conducted a community-engaged qualitative descriptive study involving online semistructured interviews and participant visual illustrations. We recruited participants via collaborator community organisations in Canada, Ireland, UK and USA.We recruited adults who self-identified as living with Long COVID with diversity in age, gende…
Correlates of maternal, newborn and child health services uptake, including male partner involvement
South Asia bears a substantial proportion of the global maternal mortality burden, with adolescents disproportionately affected. Bangladesh has one of the highest adolescent pregnancy rates in the world, with low utilisation of maternal newborn and child health (MNCH) services. This hampers the country's efforts to achieve optimal health outcomes as envisioned by the Sustainable Development Goals. Male partner involvement is a recognised approach…
Evaluation of Respondent-Driven Sampling Prevalence Estimators Using Real-World Reported Network Degree
Respondent-driven sampling (RDS) is used to measure trait or disease prevalence in populations that are difficult to reach and often marginalized. The authors evaluated the performance of RDS estimators under varying conditions of trait prevalence, homophily, and relative activity. They used large simulated networks ( N = 20,000) derived from real-world RDS degree reports and an empirical Facebook network ( N = 22,470) to evaluate estimators of b…
The working conditions for personal support workers in the Greater Toronto Area during the Covid-19 pandemic
Modelling prevalent cardiovascular disease in an urban Indigenous population
Our modelling identified hypertension, diabetes and exposure to discrimination as factors associated with cardiovascular disease. Discrimination is a modifiable exposure that must be addressed to improve cardiovascular health among Indigenous populations
Low program access despite high burden of sexual, structural, and reproductive health vulnerabilities among young women who sell sex in Mombasa, Kenya
SDG-related vulnerabilities begin early in the lives of YSW who are not currently reached by programs designed for female sex workers
Pragmatic women
Persisting inequities in maternal health pose a particular burden for marginalised populations such as sex workers. However, current literature on pregnancy and sex work is limited to mostly quantitative studies focusing on contraception use, unplanned and/or undesired pregnancies and unsafe abortions. Additionally, emphasis has been placed on the prevention, treatment and care of STIs and HIV with less attention accorded to women's pregnancy des…
Short-term and long-term effects of caesarean section on the health of women and children
Southern African Social Work Students’ Acceptance of Rape Myths
Despite numerous interventions to promote gender equality, sub-Saharan Africa has one of the highest prevalence rates of non-partner sexual assault in the world, thus constituting a major social and public health issue in the region. As social workers frequently provide services to this population, an exploratory cross-sectional study was conducted to explore rape myth acceptance among undergraduate social work students studying in Namibia. Findi…
Contextualizing willingness to participate
Strategies for engagement of communities and recruitment of trial volunteers for HIV vaccine efficacy trials should not only be grounded in and informed by investigations into individual and socio-cultural factors that impact WTP, but also by explorations of participants' existing experiences with or knowledge of medical research as well as attitudes and acceptance towards a future HIV vaccine
Enhancing the capacity and effectiveness of community health volunteers to improve maternal, newborn and child health
An Exploration of Decision-Making Processes on Infant Delivery Site from the Perspective of Pregnant Women, New Mothers, and Their Families in Northern Karnataka, India
Women's Recovery From Compulsive Gambling
Although at least one third of problem gamblers are women, the majority of the scant literature available on treatment and recovery is based on male gamblers. Recent gender comparisons found significant differences between men and women who have sought help for problems associated with their gambling, which raises the possibility of different recovery processes. Using previously collected data, we explored this issue with a nonclinical sample of …
Project Same Page
This article describes the evaluation for Project Same Page, an intervention aimed at enhancing the knowledge of the complex issues surrounding attachment among child welfare workers and other human service professionals. A large sample (n = 316) of service providers and other interested parties attended this two-session intervention, although a smaller number (n = 192) completed pretest and post-test evaluations. Most participants in Project Sam…
Women Who Have Taken Their Lives Back from Compulsive Gambling
Although up to half of all gamblers and at least one-third of all problem gamblers are women in the United States, they are underrepresented and overlooked in research studies, treatment, and in the minds of the American public. This paper describes the results of an online survey of women in recovery from compulsive gambling, including demographics, family history, gambling activities, and consequences, and recovery patterns. The results indicat…
A Feminist Perspective on Group Work with Severely Mentally Ill Women
In its attempt to focus on societal causes of individual and interpersonal problems, feminist social work has largely overlooked the difficult situations of women affected by severe and persistent mental illness. Due to distrust of the medical model and its diagnostic tool DSM-IV (APA, 1994), feminists have tended to neglect the needs of mentally ill women while reconceptualizing mental illness as a form of society's oppression of women. Along th…
