  PANEX-YOUTH: Adaptations of young people in monetary-poor households for surviving and recovering from COVID-19 and associated lockdowns, Descrição: While young people globally have been less impacted by COVID-19 health outcomes than have those in older age groups, they have been disproportionately affected with disruptions to both their education (access to school and online learning) and home/personal life (e.g. access to food, ability to play and have leisure, and overall living arrangements). There is therefore a crucial need to understand how young people have adapted during the pandemic and to assess the wider impact of such processes of adaptations. To do so, we adopt a nexus approach, focusing on food, education, and play/leisure embedded within a wider understanding of the living settings (local places) and home/personal contexts (household composition and home/personal life). This project seeks to use an action research methodology to co-create this knowledge about such adaptations and generate wider recommendations, with young people, and the communities in which they live, and non-government bodies and non-profit organisations that focus on this age group. By co-creating knowledge, we aim to align our data collection efforts with these organisations immediate knowledge needs to support the adaptations employed by young people to help them cope and recover from COVID-19 and associated policy responses. Our approach also allows to create a bridge between those affected by policy (young people) and those drafting and implementing policy (organisations). To do so, we focus on case studies in three locations: Mangaung and Moqhaka in Central South Africa, West Midlands in the UK, and São Paulo state in Brazil. , Situação: Em andamento; Natureza: Pesquisa. , Integrantes: Laura de Seixas Benini - Integrante / Luciana Maciel Bizzotto - Integrante / Leonardo Musumeci - Integrante / Lira Luz Benites Lazaro - Integrante / Thais França da Rocha - Integrante / Peter Kraftl - Integrante / Lauren Andres - Integrante / Stuart Paul Denton-Stevens - Integrante / Leandro Luiz Giatti - Coordenador / Susanne Börner - Integrante.

  Combination of HIV Prevention Strategies Among Men who have Sex with Men: a scoping review protocol, Descrição: Men who have Sex with Men (MSM) share a disproportionate burden of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection all over the world. Many studies have shown that anal intercourse has a significantly higher risk of HIV transmission than other sexual practices. When compared to men who do not have sex with men or compared to women, MSM tend to move in a more closed sexual network and, therefore, HIV infection has a higher probability of occurring.In addition to the HIV risk associated with condomless anal intercourse and sexual positioning options available only to MSM, other characteristics associated with psychological, behavioral, social, and contextual factors make MSM an HIV key population. Furthermore, in some countries, same-sex sexual relationships are still criminalized. However, even in settings where there is no such type of criminalization, due to heteronormativity, MSM can experience stigma and discrimination. This can move them away from health institutions, (2)(8) making it difficult to engage in HIV prevention, to have a timely diagnosis, and to proceed with treatment or retain with treatment. , Situação: Em andamento; Natureza: Pesquisa. , Integrantes: Laura de Seixas Benini - Integrante / Paula Meireles - Coordenador / Rita Dias - Integrante / Miguel Rocha - Integrante / Lucía Martínez - Integrante / Sílvia Fraga - Integrante.
