Substance Use Monitoring Among People Who Use Drugs Using a Novel Assay to Test Dried Blood Spot Specimens
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The development of comprehensive strategies to understand emerging trends in substance use is necessary to design effective prevention and harm reduction strategies for people who use drugs (PWUD). Dried blood spots (DBS) can be used as a non-conventional drug testing approach that meets Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accuracy and precision guidelines. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: From July 2021 to July 2022, 1,559 …
Emergency Room Utilization and Methamphetamine Overdose Symptoms Among Syringe Services Program Participants in Washington State

“We only trust each other”
In Kenya, overdose remains a major public health concern with approximately 40% of persons who inject drugs (PWID) reporting personal overdoses. PWID living with HIV (PWID-LH) are particularly vulnerable to experiencing fatal and non-fatal overdoses because of the surrounding physical, social, economic, and political environments, which are not fully understood in Kenya. Through qualitative inquiry, this study characterizes Kenya’s overdose risk …
Simulated patient training to improve youth engagement in HIV care in Kenya
Youth living with HIV (YLHIV) report that negative interactions with health care workers (HCWs) affects willingness to return to care. This stepped wedge randomized trial evaluated effectiveness of a standardized patient actor (SP) HCW training intervention on adolescent engagement in care in Kenya. HCWs caring for YLHIV at 24 clinics received training on adolescent care, values clarification, communication, and motivational interviewing, with 7 …
“Whenever you need support, you first turn to the group”
Social support is a critical component of achieving positive health outcomes for youth living with HIV (YLWH). Mobile health (mHealth) has significant potential for providing social support to YLWH. However, little is known about the domains of social support most needed by YLWH which mHealth interventions might address. Drawing on the spontaneous creation of WhatsApp support groups by YLWH in Nairobi, Kenya, we characterized Kenyan YLWH's social…

Partnering faith leaders with community health workers increases utilization of antenatal care and facility delivery services in Ethiopia
BACKGROUND: Ethiopia and other countries continue to experience high rates of maternal mortality and neonatal deaths. Interventions are needed to increase utilization of antenatal care (ANC) and facility delivery services to improve outcomes. METHODS: A cluster-randomized trial was conducted in the Amhara Region of Ethiopia, with 6 communities randomly assigned to receive the intervention and 12 communities monitored as controls. Intervention tea…
Understanding how social norms affect modern contraceptive use
These findings suggest that social norms may affect contraceptive use in Nigeria through ability rather than motivation. In terms of programmatic implications, these finding suggest that public health interventions may be able to counter the negative effects of social norms that discourage contraceptive use by increasing women's ability to practice contraception
Association of experienced and internalized stigma with self-disclosure of HIV status by youth living with HIV
Tuberculosis-related stigma among adults presenting for HIV testing in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Male sex and TB knowledge were associated with higher TB stigma in an outpatient HIV clinic in a South African township. Identifying risk factors associated with stigma will be important to guide stigma reduction interventions
Delayed initiation of antiretroviral therapy among HIV-discordant couples in Kenya
Timely initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) is particularly important for HIV-discordant couples because viral suppression greatly reduces the risk of transmission to the uninfected partner. To identify issues and concerns related to ART initiation among HIV-discordant couples, we recruited a subset of discordant couples participating in a longitudinal study in Nairobi to participate in in-depth interviews and focus group discussions about …
