Presentations:Evolution of intimate partner violence impacts from cash transfers, food transfers, and behaviour change communication: Mixed-method experimental evidence from an eight-year post-programme follow-up in Bangladesh“Cash plus” and intimate partner violence: Exploring the benefits of group delivery in EthiopiaThe first presentation explores the long-term impacts of cash transfers, food transfers, and behavior change communication on IPV, drawing from an eight-year post-programme follow-up in Bangladesh. The second presentation delves into the "Cash Plus" approach in Ethiopia, highlighting the added benefits of group delivery in reducing IPV. Together, these studies provide valuable insights into how economic empowerment strategies can be integrated with social support systems to prevent IPV and improve outcomes for women and communities.SpeakersDr Meghna RanganathanGender Violence and Health Centre, LSHTMDr Ana Maria BullerGender Violence and Health Centre, LSHTM https://lshtm.zoom.us/j/99363748053 Europe/London public

The Last Hospital: 30 Days in Myanmar

lshjc30 — Fri, 08 Nov 2024 17:00:16 +0000

The Last Hospital: 30 Days in Myanmar by lshjc30 Fri, 11/08/2024 - 17:00

Join the Health in Humanitarian Crises Centre for a special film screening of ‘The Last Hospital: 30 Days in Myanmar’ in which award-winning Sky News Chief Correspondent Stuart Ramsay and his crew take audiences on a month-long undercover mission embedded at the epicentre of Myanmar’s secretive resistance movement.

Following the screening, there will be a short panel discussion and Q&A with the Sky News team and the medical team from Myanmar who are currently on the frontline of the civil war. Soft drinks will be available before the event, from 17:00 in G08.

This event provides the audience with opportunity to understand the challenges of providing healthcare in fragile and conflict-affected settings and reflect on the current situation in Myanmar.

This film has won a prestigious International Emmy Award for coverage of the Myanmar Civil War in September 2024, among other nominations and features on Brazil's GloboNews, the BBC's India Eye programme, and Israeli current affairs show Uvda.

GVHC PhD showcase

lshha13 — Mon, 25 Nov 2024 16:27:48 +0000

GVHC PhD showcase by lshha13 Mon, 11/25/2024 - 16:27

This session highlights innovative violence-related PhD research from GVHC, showcasing two distinct studies that explore the intersection of violence, displacement, and social transformation.

The first study focuses on co-creating safe spaces for Rohingya girls in Malaysia through participatory action research with urban refugees and asylum-seekers, examining how collaborative efforts can empower vulnerable communities. The second presentation explores "The Voyage to Manhood in the ‘New Uzbekistan’," investigating how societal expectations of masculinity influence young men's experiences of violence and identity in Tashkent. Both studies offer unique insights into the role of social and cultural contexts in addressing violence and promoting resilience.

The effects of childhood exposure to violence on experiences of intimate partner victimisation and perpetration in young adulthood: A cohort study in Uganda

lshha13 — Mon, 25 Nov 2024 16:59:56 +0000

The effects of childhood exposure to violence on experiences of intimate partner victimisation and perpetration in young adulthood: A cohort study in Uganda by lshha13 Mon, 11/25/2024 - 16:59

Both violence against women (VAW) and violence against children (VAC) are recognised as global public health and human rights issues. But how do we understand the intersection between experiencing violence in childhood and experience and use of violence in later life? Using data from a cohort study in Luwero, Uganda, this talk will overview the longitudinal impact of different patterns of VAC experience on later life intimate partner violence. Further, this talk will provide methodological commentary on issues in measurement of VAC and on how violence can be established as a cause, while reflecting on the possible implications of causal links between VAC & VAW for programmatic action.

Operationalising the participation of refugees and internally displaced populations in research on GBV and gender equality: challenges and risks in humanitarian settings

lshha13 — Mon, 25 Nov 2024 17:19:41 +0000

Operationalising the participation of refugees and internally displaced populations in research on GBV and gender equality: challenges and risks in humanitarian settings by lshha13 Mon, 11/25/2024 - 17:19

In humanitarian settings, there is limited understanding of how to operationalise ‘participation’ of refugees in research. This means participation may be tokenistic, or assumed to always be positive. Based on a scoping review and interviews with practitioners who conducted research on GBV and gender equality using participatory approaches, this presentation explores the possibilities, challenges and risks of promoting refugee participation in research.

Response-adaptive randomization in clinical trials: myth vs reality

lshmd55 — Mon, 28 Oct 2024 16:57:23 +0000

Response-adaptive randomization in clinical trials: myth vs reality by lshmd55 Mon, 10/28/2024 - 16:57

Response-adaptive randomization (RAR) is part of a wider class of data-dependent sampling algorithms, for which clinical trials have typically been used as a motivating application. In that context, patient allocation to treatments is defined by using the accrued data on responses to alter randomization probabilities, in order to achieve different experimental goals.

RAR has received abundant theoretical attention within the biostatistics literature since it was first proposed in the 1930's and has been the subject of numerous debates. In the last decade, it has received renewed consideration from the applied community due to some high-profile practical examples and its widespread use in machine learning.

This talk will present a recent review paper, discussing some apparently conflicting views that can be found in the specialised literature, mentioning some of the most recent methodological work and discussing further issues to consider when debating the use of RAR in clinical trials. It will also present the main points that arose from the published discussion pieces and rejoinder.

RAR has received abundant theoretical attention within the biostatistics literature since it was first proposed in the 1930's and has been the subject of numerous debates. In the last decade, it has received renewed consideration from the applied community due to some high-profile practical examples and its widespread use in machine learning. This talk will present a recent review paper, discussing some apparently conflicting views that can be found in the specialised literature, mentioning some of the most recent methodological work and discussing further issues to consider when debating the use of RAR in clinical trials. It will also present the main points that arose from the published discussion pieces and rejoinder.SpeakerSofia Villar, Programme Leader, MRC Biostatistics Unit, University of CambridgeEvent noticesPlease note that you can join this event in person or you can join the session remotely.Please note that the recording link will be listed on this page when available.

What drives population differences in vaccine response? Updates from the POPVAC trial

What drives population differences in vaccine response? Updates from the POPVAC trial by idcvnsey Tue, 11/12/2024 - 16:30

Differences in vaccine responses across populations present a key challenge in global health, affecting the development of effective vaccines and their equitable impact. Responses have often been seen to be poorer in low-income countries, especially rural settings.

The Population Differences in Vaccine response (POPVAC) clinical trials, a series of studies recently published in The Lancet Global Health, investigated these differences with the aim of contributing to better understanding of this phenomenon.

At this month’s Vaccine Centre webinar, we invite the leading researchers from the POPVAC study to provide an update on major findings from the landmark studies.

Speakers

We will host speakers from the POPVAC team at LSHTM, including Agnes Natukunda, Jacent Nassuuna, Gyaviira Nkurunungi, Ludoviko Zirimenya, Emily Webb, and Alison Elliott.

The speakers are based at the MRC/UVRI and LSHTM Uganda Research Unit, the Clinical Research Department, the Department of Infection Biology, and the Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology and International Health.
