  • “They are starting from ten steps back”

    Vanessa Rouzier, Rose-Cardelle Riche et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2025

    Community-based HIV testing can identify high-risk adolescents and young adults living with HIV (AYALH), but data on long-term outcomes of AYALH identified via community-based testing is limited. We compared outcomes among AYALH 15–24 years identified in community-based campaigns to those who self-presented to an HIV clinic in Haiti. We measured retention 12-months after antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation and factors associated with retentio…

  • Stakeholder perspectives on barriers and facilitators to hypertension control in urban Haiti

    Open AccessReichling St Sauveur, Rodney Sufra et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    These findings can inform the development of future efforts to design interventions to improve hypertension control in Haiti

  • Fanmi (“My Family”)

    Open AccessVanessa Rouzier, Lindsey K Reif et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2025

    Adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) are the epicenter of the global HIV epidemic. The FANMI trial is an unblinded randomized-controlled trial which evaluated the effectiveness of a community-based model of cohort HIV care vs. standard clinic-based care among AGYW living with HIV in Haiti. Participants ages 16-24 years were randomized 1:1 to FANMI vs. standard care. In the FANMI intervention, cohorts of 5-10 participants attended monthly sessi…

  • Worldwide trends in underweight and obesity from 1990 to 2022

    Open AccessNowell H Phelps, Rosie Singleton et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2024

    BACKGROUND: Underweight and obesity are associated with adverse health outcomes throughout the life course. We estimated the individual and combined prevalence of underweight or thinness and obesity, and their changes, from 1990 to 2022 for adults and school-aged children and adolescents in 200 countries and territories. METHODS: ). For school-aged children and adolescents, we report thinness (BMI 2 SD above the median). FINDINGS: From 1990 to 20…

  • The Female Global Scholars Program

    Open AccessAlexandra A Cordeiro, Kathleen F Walsh et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Fewer than 25% of global health leadership positions worldwide are held by women, adversely impacting women’s health and widening gendered health disparities. The Female Global Scholars (FGS) Program, established in 2018 at Weill Cornell Medicine, is a two-year hybrid training and peer-mentorship program that promotes the retention and advancement of early-career female investigators conducting health research in low- and middle-income countries …

  • “Mobilizing our leaders”

    Open AccessClaudia T Riche, C Thomas Riché et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Introduction: Women play an essential role in health care delivery, and it is vital that they have equal representation in health leadership for equity, innovation, and the strengthening of health systems globally. Yet women remain vastly underrepresented in global health leadership positions, providing a clear example of the deeply rooted power imbalances that are central to the calls to decolonize global health. We conducted a multi-country stu…

  • High prevalence of obesity among women in urban Haiti

    Open AccessEliezer Dade, Miranda Metz et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    Introduction Obesity is associated with increased risk of non-communicable diseases and death and is increasing rapidly in low- and middle-income countries, including Haiti. There is limited population-based data on body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) and associated risk factors in Haiti. This study describes BMI and WC, and factors associated with obesity using a population-based cohort from Port-au-Prince. Methods Baseline sociod…

  • Models of lifelong care for children and adolescents with chronic conditions in low-income and middle-income countries

    Open AccessLindsey K Reif, J Van Olmen et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2022

    Globally, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) or chronic conditions account for one-third of disability-adjusted life-years among children and adolescents under the age of 20. Health systems must adapt to respond to the growing burden of NCDs among children and adolescents who are more likely to be marginalised from healthcare access and are at higher risk for poor outcomes. We undertook a review of recent literature on existing models of chronic li…

  • Neighborhood cohesion and violence in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and their relationship to stress, depression, and hypertension

    Open AccessLily D Yan, Margaret L McNairy et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Neighborhood factors have been associated with health outcomes, but this relationship is underexplored in low-income countries like Haiti. We describe perceived neighborhood cohesion and perceived violence using the Neighborhood Collective Efficacy and the City Stress Inventory scores. We hypothesized lower cohesion and higher violence were associated with higher stress, depression, and hypertension. We collected data from a population-based coho…

  • The relationship between perceived stress and support with blood pressure in urban Haiti

    Open AccessLily D Yan, Jessy G Dévieux et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Haiti is a low-income country whose population lives under repeated and chronic stress from multiple natural disasters, civil unrest, and extreme poverty. Stress has been associated with cardiovascular (CVD) risk factors including hypertension, and the impact of stress on blood pressure may be moderated by support. The distribution of stress, support, and their association with blood pressure has not been well described in low-income countries. W…

  • Comparison of community and clinic-based blood pressure measurements

    Open AccessCaleigh Smith, Miranda Metz et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Hypertension (HTN) is the leading modifiable cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor in low and middle-income countries, and accurate and accessible blood pressure (BP) measurement is essential for identifying persons at risk. Given the convenience and increased use of community BP screening programs in low-income settings, we compared community and clinic BP measurements for participants in the Haiti CVD Cohort Study to determine the concordanc…

  • Point-of-care viral load testing among adolescents and young adults living with HIV in Haiti

    Open AccessLindsey K Reif, Marie Elmase Belizaire et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2022

    HIV viral load (VL) monitoring can reinforce antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence. Standard VL testing requires high laboratory capacity and coordination between clinic and laboratory which can delay results. A randomized trial comparing point-of-care (POC) VL testing to standard VL testing among 150 adolescents and young adults, ages 10-24 years, living with HIV in Haiti determined if POC VL testing could return faster results and improve ART …

  • Comparing six cardiovascular risk prediction models in Haiti

  • Depression screening in HIV-positive Tanzanian adults

    Open AccessChristopher C Nolan, Patrick O’donnell et al.ARTICLECambridge Prisms Global Mental…2018

    WHO-5 scores correlated well with those of the PHQ-9, suggesting that the WHO-5 represents a valid screening tool. The concordance of PHQ-9 and WHO-5 results was poorer in marginalized socioeconomic groups. Positive depression screens were exceedingly common among HIV-positive Tanzanian adults according to all three questionnaires

  • Treating loss-to-follow-up as a missing data problem

    Open AccessDeanna Jannat‐Khah, Michelle Unterbrink et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    Each of these methods had different assumptions and differed in the number of observations included due to how missing values were addressed. We found MICE to be most robust in predicting survival status as it allowed us to impute missing data so that we had the maximum number of observations to perform regression analyses. MICE also provides a complementary alternative for estimating survival among patients with unassigned vital status. Addition…

  • Health care workers in Africa access a broad range of topics using evidence-based online medical information

    Open AccessMargaret L McNairy, Alysse G Wurcel et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2012

    Health care workers (HCW) rely on Internet-based medical resources to obtain current evidence-based clinical guidelines. While such resources are being used with increasing frequency in developed countries, they have not been broadly employed in resource-limited settings (RLS). To investigate the feasibility and the types of medical content used by HCW in RLS, we studied one Internet-based medical resource used in the United States, (UpToDate©) i…
