Policies aimed at reducing wildlife-related conflict must address the underlying causes
Background:The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic profoundly affected food systems including security.Understanding how the COVID-19 impacted security is important to provide support and identify long-term impacts needs.Objective: The National Food Access COVID research Team (NFACT) was formed assess over different US study sites throughout pandemic, using common instruments measurements.This presents results from 18 across 15 states nationally first year of pandemic.Methods: A...
Antiretroviral hair levels objectively quantify drug exposure over time and predict virologic responses. We assessed the acceptability feasibility of collecting small samples in a rural Kenyan cohort. Ninety-five percentage participants (354/373) donated hair. Although median self-reported adherence was 100% (interquartile range, 96%-100%), wide range concentrations likely indicates overestimation advantages pharmacologic measure. Higher nevirapine observed women older adults require further...
Rivers, wetlands, lakes, and other freshwater ecosystems collectively cover only 1% of the Earth's surface. Yet, these support a disproportionately large vast array biodiversity. Currently, face many threats, including pollution, habitat alteration, fragmentation, invasive species, overexploitation, overabstraction, climate change, emerging stressors. According to World Wide Fund for Nature's Living Planet Index, biodiversity are considered among most threatened on planet, with average...
HIV treatment is life-long, yet many patients travel or migrate for their livelihoods, risking interruption. We examine timely reengagement in care among who transferred-out were lost-to-follow-up (LTFU) from a rural facility. conducted cohort study 369 adult on antiretroviral therapy between November 2011 and 2013 Mfangano Island, Kenya. Patients transferred LTFU (i.e., missed scheduled appointment by ≥90 days) traced to determine if they reengaged accessed at another clinic. report...
Although biodiversity loss adversely influences a variety of ecosystem functions, how declining wild food diversity affects nutrient supplies for people is poorly understood. Here, we analyze the impact on nutrients supplied by fish using detailed information from Peruvian Amazon, where inland fisheries provide critical source nutrition many region's 800,000 people. We found that impacts depended compensation, trophic dynamics, and functional diversity. When small sedentary species...
ABSTRACT Although sparse, increasing evidence suggests an overlooked population of fishers whose fishing motivations and outcomes overlap across commercial, subsistence recreational sectors, resulting in underrepresented groups management policy frameworks. These participate what we frame as “provisioning fisheries,” a concept propose to highlight the values from fisheries recreational, sociocultural, psychological, economic, health, nutritional dimensions. We argue that provisioning often...
Despite progress in the global scale-up of antiretroviral therapy, sustained engagement HIV care remains challenging. Social capital is an important factor for engagement, but interventions designed to harness this powerful social force are uncommon.We conducted a quasiexperimental study evaluating impact Microclinic Network intervention on and medication adherence Mfangano Island, Kenya. The was introduced into 1 4 similar communities served by clinic; comparisons were made between using...
The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship among socioeconomic status, social support, and food insecurity in a rural Kenyan island community. A cross-sectional random sample 111 female heads households representing 583 household members were surveyed Mfangano Island, Kenya from August October 2010 using adaptations Household Food Insecurity Access Scale Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey. In multiple linear regression models, less instrumental defined as...
The global biodiversity that underpins wild food systems—including fisheries—is rapidly declining. Yet, we often have only a limited understanding of how households use and benefit from in the ecosystems surrounding them. Explicating these relationships is critical to forestall mitigate effects declines on nutrition security. Here, quantify filters household harvest, consumption, sale, ecological traits characteristics shape relationships. We used unique, integrated (40 sites, quarterly data...
