  • Human-centered design of an adapted differentiated service delivery model for pregnant and postpartum women living with HIV in Kenya

    John Humphrey, Bett Kipchumba et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2025

    Differentiated service delivery (DSD) models for pregnant and postpartum women living with HIV (WLH) are lacking despite guidelines recommending DSD for this population. We used human-centered design (HCD) to develop a DSD model for pregnant and postpartum WLH at the Academic Model Providing Access to Healthcare (AMPATH) in Kenya. We conducted co-creation workshops with 11 postpartum women, 9 male partners and 9 providers from three AMPATH-affili…

    Open AccessLaura J Ruhl, Jepchirchir Kiplagat et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2023

    Unilateral approaches to global health innovations can be transformed into cocreative, uniquely collaborative relationships between low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) and high-income countries (HIC), constituted as ‘reciprocal innovation’ (RI). Since 2018, the Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (CTSI) and Indiana University (IU) Center for Global Health Equity have led a grants programme sculpted from the core eleme…

  • Multi-media teacher training and HIV-related stigma among primary and secondary school teachers in Western Kenya

    Open AccessWinstone Nyandiko, Ashley Chory et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2023

    HIV stigma is associated with delayed HIV disclosure and worse clinical outcomes for adolescents living with HIV (ALWH). Teachers critically influence school environments, but are understudied in terms of HIV stigma. We implemented a school-level, cluster-randomized trial to assess the impact of a one-day multi-media training on the knowledge, attitudes and beliefs (K/A/B) of school teachers in western Kenya. Teachers' K/A/B were evaluated at bas…

  • Reciprocal innovation

    Open AccessThomas G Sors, Rishika Chauhan O’Brien et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2022

    Global health researchers often discount mutual learning and benefit to address shared health challenges across high and low- and middle-income settings. Drawing from a 30-year partnership called AMPATH that started between Indiana University in the US and Moi University in Kenya, we describe an innovative approach and program for mutual learning and benefit coined 'reciprocal innovation.' Reciprocal innovation harnesses a bidirectional, co-const…
