Astha Ramaiya Co-author Article in Journal of Adolescence

The article, led by Linnea Zimmerman examines how opportunity structures (parental influence and neighborhood context) affects individual agency among boys and girls in Kinshasa, DRC. We used longitudinal data to identify three distinct groups for boys and girls in each domain. Parental monitoring was associated with the development of both domains for boys, but showed no association for girls. Conversely, parental closeness was more strongly associated with development for girls, than for boys. Neighborhood safety was associated with greater Voice and Freedom of Movement for both boys and girls.

Thanks Michele for drawing our attention to this article. I have shared it in Constellation community with credit to you. Please scroll down and you will find it here http://aidscompetence.ning.com/forum/topics/what-experience-can-we-...

I found this statement powerful- Oosterhoff and Wilkinson remind us that, in mistrusting ‘community’..., while failing to provide sufficient resources to those same individuals to enable their ‘appropriate’ management of the disease.

I am working with Pauline Oosterhoff and recently we had this discussion. Both community engagement and a strong link between communities and those providing medical services is essential for effective response.
