The fundamental causes of disaster vulnerability
Land access is one of the strongest predictors of disaster vulnerability for extreme weather events in rural, low-income environments. In Southern Africa, smallholder farmers face accelerating land loss from both slow-onset stressors, such as declining soil fertility and acute stressors such as cyclones. However, the complex mechanisms through which land loss perpetuates disaster vulnerability require a deeper examination of the lived experience …

Re-engagement and retention in HIV care after preventive default tracking in a cohort of HIV-infected patients in rural Malawi
Loss-to-follow-up (LTFU) in the era of test-and-treat remains a universal challenge, especially in rural areas. To mitigate LTFU, the HIV program in Neno District, Malawi, utilizes a preventive default tracking strategy named Tracking for Retention and Client Enrollment (TRACE). We utilized a mixed-methods descriptive study of the TRACE program on patient’s re-engagement and retention in care (RiC). In the quantitative arm, we utilized secondary …

Prevalence and correlates of internalized stigma among adults with HIV and major depressive disorder in rural Malawi
Internalized stigma is common among individuals with sexually transmitted infections such as HIV and among those with mental health conditions such as major depressive disorder (MDD). As part of a cluster randomized trial, we investigated the prevalence and correlates of internalized stigma among adults living with comorbid HIV and MDD in rural Malawi (n = 339). We found heightened stigma toward HIV and mental illness among those in the cohort: m…
Covid-19-Related Testing, Knowledge and Behaviors among Severe and Chronic Non-Communicable Disease Patients in Neno District, Malawi
COVID-19-related knowledge and behaviors remain essential for controlling the spread of disease, especially among vulnerable patients with advanced, chronic diseases.
