The dapivirine vaginal ring is a discreet prevention choice for women at substantial risk of HIV infection as part of combination prevention approaches. This study covers a gap on research including on breastfeeding women. Those living in areas of substantial HIV transmission need options to initiate an HIV prevention method before or during pregnancy and continue their chosen method through breastfeeding and beyond.
This study analyses predictors of school dropouts in Uganda using 2014 census data, focusing on rural areas, Kampala, and other urban regions. Logistic regression revealed that socioeconomic status, household size, composition, and child�s age are key dropout factors, with variations depending on location due to differences in geography, population, economic activity, education supply, and local government commitment.
In rural Malawi, the use of on-farm trees for food�rather than just for fuel or income�is strongly associated with improved micronutrient adequacy (vitamin A, zinc, iron, and folate) in women�s diets across seasons. This suggests that food-producing trees play a key role in supporting nutrition in low- and middle-income countries.
