Filter by:In humanitarian settings, sexual and gender-based violence disproportionately impacts women and children. However, there continues to be a lack of evidence regarding both sexual violence prevention and post-rape care interventions in low- and middle-income humanitarian contexts, with even less evidence supporting adolescents and youth in these settings. Participatory comics offer a youth-friendly, low-cost, scalable approach for preventing sexual violence and training clinicians in post-rape care in humanitarian settings. This study aims to develop, implement, and evaluate the effectiveness of a comic intervention on preventing sexual violence and improving post-rape care with youth aged 16-24 and health care providers in the Bidi Bidi refugee settlement.
This study is a six-week exploratory developmental phase (phase 1) of a larger project to develop an mHealth intervention targeting health education and social support for Indian women in the postnatal period. Phase 1 of the trial exposes study participants to various intervention modalities and seeks to understand their experiences and perspectives on these using mixed-methods. Results from this trial will inform modifications to the intervention to be tested in Phase 2.
Uganda hosts 1.4 million refugees, making it Sub-Saharan Africa's largest refugee host community and the third largest globally. Adolescents and young people (AYP) comprise half of the world's 70.8 million forcibly displaced persons, yet they are understudied in pandemics, including in COVID-19. Poverty, overcrowded living conditions, and poor sanitation likely elevate forcibly displaced persons' COVID-19 risks by limiting their ability to practice mitigation strategies. There continue to be significant knowledge gaps regarding the implementation and effectiveness of behaviour change interventions on improving COVID-19 prevention practices (i.e. hand and respiratory hygiene, physical distancing). mHealth (healthcare delivered by mobile phones) is cost-effective, aligned with how youth learn and socialize, vital for physical distancing, and has been used for COVID-19 messaging in other low- and middle-income countries. Nested within an ongoing HIV self-testing cluster-randomized trial, this study aims to develop, implement, and evaluate the effectiveness of an mHealth intervention in increasing COVID-19 prevention practices with displaced/refugee AYP aged 16-24 in Kampala, Uganda. Participants will be enrolled in a 8-week mHealth social group intervention program that is informed by the RANAS (Risks, Attitudes, Norms, Abilities, and Self-Regulation) approach to Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene. Using a pre-test/post-test design, this study will assess changes in participants' self-efficacy (e.g. ability, confidence, adherence) in COVID-19 prevention practices.
The aim of this study is to identify the knowledge , attitude and practice toward PPI use among doctors in Egypt
The objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of an online intervention (the Parents Support Program) aimed at increasing supportive behaviors among parents of transgender youth. The intervention consists of three modules that include a variety engaging activities such as social perspective taking exercises, writing prompts, videos of parents, youth, and experts, and psycho-educational materials. The study uses an experimental design with a waitlist control. Both the experimental and control groups will complete a pre-test, one month follow up, and two month follow up survey. Targeted outcomes include knowledge about gender diversity, attitudes about trans youth, and supportive parenting behaviors.
HIV is the leading cause of death for adolescents and young people (AYP) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Uganda hosts 1.3 million refugees/displaced persons, and more than 80,000 live in Kampala, most in slums, yet little is known of HIV testing and prevention needs with displaced/refugee AYP living in Kampala's slums. This study aims to develop, implement and evaluate an oral HIV-self testing (HIVST) intervention with displaced/refugee AYP aged 16- 24 in Kampala. HIVST is acceptable and properly used with AYP in other SSA regions, yet there are knowledge gaps regarding the best way to link HIVST to HIV care. This study aims to explore how m-health (healthcare delivered on mobile-phones), congruent with how AYP learn and socialize, can improve linkage to care with HIVST. This trial focuses on implementing a cluster randomized trial with displaced/refugee AYP aged 16-24 living in informal settlements in Kampala (Arm1: HIVST; Arm 2: HIVST + m-health; Arm 3: standard of care). The study will assess changes in HIV testing practices, HIV status knowledge, and linkage to HIV prevention and care between the 3 arms.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the knowledge level of healthcare professionals such as physicians, nurses, physiotherapists and nutritionist about published COVID-19 guidelines. The listed healthcare workers are take part in the primary treatment of the Corona virus infected patients in hospitals. Therefore the knowledge of the world wide spreading Corona Virus and its effects for the human being is should be known for the effective treatment and for raising public awareness.
Recent recommendations to return children's results for adult-onset conditions to parents anytime whole exome or genome sequencing is performed, as well as growing expectations to return research results to participants on a large-scale basis, mean adolescents will increasingly be engaged in assenting (<age 18) and consenting (>age 18) to return of genomic research results. There is an urgent need to understand adolescents' informational preferences and to create ethically informed, scalable processes that empower adolescents from diverse backgrounds to participate in the decision-making process about learning genomic results. This research will provide important insights into adolescents' choices, as well as the ethical, legal and societal implications of engaging adolescents in making choices about learning genomic results in genomic research and community-based research settings.
Assessing the knowledge and practice of GIT endoscopists toward the use of PPE.
The percentage of hypertension among adults aged 18 is relatively high which is about 30% in Malaysia. Uncontrolled hypertension will increase the risk of diseases especially cardiovascular disease. However, adults still lack awareness about the importance of knowledge of hypertension. In between, online health information seeking and the use of social media to gather health information have been quite a norm among students. The wide use of this platform has been proven in various researches and studies. This study will be conducted among the undergraduate students in FMHS, UPM to look at the various socio-demographic factors associated with their level of knowledge on hypertension. Therefore, this may lead to a need to plan awareness programs on hypertension and to increase the knowledge of hypertension among health science students in the future. A cross-sectional study design will be done for this study. All undergraduate students in FMHS, UPM will be selected through simple random sampling. Online questionnaires will be given via the selected student email platform. However, there are limitations for this study where we only focus on the students of FMHS, UPM. Hence, the results of this study may be limited to them only. The causal relationship cannot be determined by this study design as well. The purpose of this study is to determine the social media use, online health information seeking practices with knowledge on hypertension among undergraduate students in FMHS, UPM, and its associated factors
