Disabled people are leading change by creating their own knowledge through research. The DRILL program is a £5 million research initiative co-led by disabled people to understand solutions from their perspectives. Projects are co-produced by disabled and researchers, with disabled people leading decision making. Research questions differ from typical academic studies by focusing on peer support and independent living rather than interventions or prevention. The program seeks to understand and change public narratives about disability that frame disabled people only as victims.

Next steps involve identifying organizations to pilot the resources and building capacity in communities and services to support ongoing discussions about suicide.Denbighshire Wellbeing Plan
We believe that we need to change the way we deliver our services to make best use of our resources to improve outcomes for people across the county. We need to collaborate more effectively in delivering services, supporting people to improve and maintain their wellbeing to maximise their independence.
We will be working with our partners in the Conwy & Denbighshire Local Service Board (LSB) to improve strategic partnership activities in order to achieve the shared objectives of the Wellbeing Plan. We aim to build a picture of interdependencies, overlaps or gaps between partnership groups, including an overview of current membership, objectives, terms of reference, and governance.

This document describes the development and contents of a toolkit called "Stopping Violence Against Women Before it Happens: A Practical Toolkit for Communities". The toolkit was created to assist implementation of Australia's National Plan to Reduce Violence Against Women and their Children. It includes 15 factsheets covering key concepts of primary violence prevention and guidance on partnership building, community mapping, goal setting, program design and evaluation. Community consultations provided input that resulted in a practical resource written in plain English with ideas for raising awareness, encouraging respectful relationships and engaging men. The toolkit is available for free download online.

Male Circumcision Research Into Policy Final S A H A R A Dec 09 2009
Male circumcision has been shown to reduce HIV infection risk in men by 50-60%. Three randomized controlled trials in Africa found circumcision reduced HIV risk. WHO and UNAIDS recommend countries with high HIV prevalence and low circumcision rates consider scaling up circumcision services. In South Africa, circumcision services have been piloted and national guidelines are being developed. Modeling predicts circumcision scale-up could significantly reduce HIV prevalence over time if uptake is high. Ensuring services are gender-sensitive, communicate partial efficacy, and promote safer sex practices will be important for effectiveness.
Who Cares Sahara
This document summarizes a study on the impact of HIV-related sickness on migration patterns in Southern Africa. The study found that when individuals in cities like Johannesburg become too sick to work due to HIV, most will return home (68% of men, 58% of women). If someone back home becomes sick with HIV/AIDS, men are more likely to send money home while women are more likely to return home to provide physical and emotional care. The study highlights the importance of networks of care in explaining migration patterns and challenges the assumption that migration is solely for better access to health services.
Saharaskillsbuildingworkshop
This document summarizes a workshop on developing evidence on vulnerabilities of men who have sex with men (MSM) and gays in sub-Saharan Africa to support HIV/AIDS advocacy and policy. It discusses the diverse socio-political landscapes across 22 countries, where some criminalize homosexuality while others have more tolerant cultures. While many LGBT communities and organizations exist, they often operate secretly due to oppression. The document analyzes factors like laws, stigma, risky sex practices, and inclusion of MSM in national HIV strategies. It concludes that building solidarity through research-informed advocacy, capacity building, and combating prevention could help address challenges faced by sexual minorities.
Uganda H S R C Workshop 2008 2
1. Uganda saw a dramatic decline in HIV prevalence from 21.1% in 1991 to 9.1% in 1998 through large-scale behavioral changes, equivalent to a 75% effective vaccine.
2. The biggest factor was a substantial decline in sexual partners, with 48% of men and women reporting sticking to one partner.
3. The changes were driven by community and political efforts reinforcing each other through messaging focused on risk avoidance, open discussion of HIV/AIDS, and promoting care for infected individuals and orphans.

This document discusses a study on the reasons young people in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa undergo virginity testing. It provides background on virginity testing as a traditional practice and its revival. The study aims to understand perceptions of virginity testing from the perspectives of adolescents, particularly reasons for undergoing tests. It reviews literature discussing views both supporting and opposing virginity testing and implications for sexual health.
01 Monica Do Santos Healing The Dragon S A H A R A
This document discusses interventions for heroin use disorders and reducing HIV transmission. It summarizes findings from previous studies that found many intravenous drug users in Africa do not properly clean or dispose of needles, increasing HIV risk. The objectives are to compare views of long-term former heroin users and specialists on effective interventions and improve programs. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 40 former users and 10 specialists. Preliminary findings from the first study on former users are presented on their demographics and drug use histories.
05 Lawrence Osano Is Wife Inheritance An Impediment In H I V
This document discusses how certain cultural practices in the Luo ethnic community in Kenya can act as impediments to controlling and preventing the spread of HIV/AIDS. It focuses on the practices of wife inheritance, polygamy, and "Chira" (a curse). Wife inheritance traditionally ensured continuity of the family line but now young men often claim widows for pleasure without concern for infection status. Polygamy allowed men to have many wives and sons, but spreading infection. "Chira" involved a ritual with a widow's body that could also spread disease. Male dominance prevents women from refusing unprotected sex or inheritance. The document calls for respecting traditions but adding education to address modern challenges like HIV/AIDS.
Lovelife Case Study 30 Nov 2009
The document discusses strategies for reducing HIV risk among young people in South Africa. It argues that limited opportunities in education, employment, and entrepreneurship fuel the HIV epidemic by constraining choices and creating a perception of scant opportunity. The proposed strategies aim to change this perception by developing a mindset of seeking opportunity, building skills to negotiate pressures, and finding new links to opportunities through programs, peer networks, and media campaigns. The goal is reducing risk by empowering personal initiative to respond to circumstances.
Saharaskillsintroduction
This document outlines a research study on vulnerabilities of men who have sex with men (MSM) and gays in Eastern and Southern Africa. The study aims to develop an evidence base to advocate for more inclusive HIV/AIDS policies and programming. It involves a desktop literature review, focus group meetings in the region, and an international dialogue. The overall goals are to encourage quality prevention and care for MSM communities and influence policies related to their rights.
Review Of Interventions For Changing Behaviours
This document discusses interventions and strategies for changing HIV-related behaviours. It outlines the theoretical basis for behavioural interventions, target behaviours like unprotected sex that need to be changed, and target groups like adolescents, sex workers, and men who have sex with men. Strategies discussed include counseling, group education sessions, and social events. Examples are given of behavioural interventions conducted in South Africa, including school-based programs, interventions for drug users and those with STIs, and community-based testing initiatives. The conclusion emphasizes the need for sustained, community-level interventions that integrate behavioural strategies into existing programs and services.

The document summarizes research conducted in 9 Southern African countries on multiple and concurrent partnerships (MCPs) as a driver of HIV. Focus groups and interviews found MCPs are common due to sexual dissatisfaction, culture/norms, money/gifts, alcohol, and male dominance. Countries then developed national mass media campaigns promoting safe relationships and challenging MCPs. A regional One Love Southern Africa campaign was also launched with a website, TV drama, radio drama, posters, booklets, and partnerships across countries.
01 Vearey S A H A R A I O M Session 3 Dec 2009
This document summarizes challenges to common assumptions about migration and health in South Africa. It finds that migrants are often wrongly assumed to travel for healthcare and burden health systems. However, data shows that most migrants seek healthcare after living in South Africa for some time and for reasons other than health. While migrants face barriers to care, their health outcomes on treatment are similar to citizens. The document calls for implementing protective laws and considering health and migration together to address the social determinants of migrant health.
03 N Phaswana Mafuya Perceptions Of Sugar Mommy Practices
This study explored perceptions of sugar mommy relationships in South Africa through focus groups. There were mixed views on whether these relationships occur and their acceptability. Some saw them as acceptable if due to love, while others saw issues with lack of ethics or promoting youth exploitation. Reasons older women engage in these relationships included sexual fulfillment, domination, procreation, stress relief, and physical attraction to youth. Younger men's reasons included material gain, stress relief, being enticed, rejection by peers, peer influence, beliefs that older women are purer, and that they provide tender loving care and maturity. The study aimed to understand these relationships and perspectives on their occurrence and acceptability.
Round Table 7
The document summarizes key discussions from Round Table 7 on using HIV counseling and testing (HTC) as a prevention strategy in Southern Africa. It notes innovative ideas around regional standards for HTC and linking services. Challenges discussed include a lack of evidence on prevention impacts and potential increases in violence if one partner tests positive. Policy implications focus on ensuring quality, accessible HTC services.
Scrutinise H S R C Capacity Building Nov 09
The document discusses the Scrutinize social marketing campaign in South Africa, which aims to reduce HIV transmission by promoting partner reduction, condom use, and testing. It describes the campaign's animated adverts ("animerts"), key messages, and accompanying materials. Discussants report the animerts resulting in self-reflection and questioning of personal sexual behaviors. The document raises questions about ensuring the campaign's mass media and interpersonal communication components effectively convey prevention messages at the community level.

This document discusses a study on the reasons young people in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa undergo virginity testing. It provides background on virginity testing as a traditional practice and its revival. The problem statement notes that while studies have focused on the debate around banning testing, little research has examined the views of those undergoing testing. The aims of this study are to explore perceptions of testing and the reasons for undergoing it from the perspective of young people.
Male Circumcision Research Into Policy Final Sahara Dec 09 2009
Male circumcision has been shown to reduce HIV infection risk in men. Three randomized controlled trials in Africa found that circumcision reduced HIV risk by 50-60%. Based on this evidence, the WHO and UNAIDS recommend promoting male circumcision in high HIV prevalence countries in Africa. In South Africa, male circumcision services have been piloted and national guidelines are being developed to scale up circumcision as part of HIV prevention. Challenges include addressing concerns about reducing comprehensive prevention messages, ensuring quality and safety of services, and promoting gender sensitivity.
