Characterizations of maternal stress in low-income countries are lacking, and may differ due to scarcity of healthcare workers and resources. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate maternal stress and contributing factors in a Ugandan neonatal hospital unit.</p> Mon, 25 Oct 2021 19:37:17 +0000 Delaney Barth, Efrance Kisooka, Judith Muteteri, Olive Kabajaasi, Abner Tagoola, Jessica Duby 2747 at /globalhealth Exposure to Household Air Pollution and Immune Function Among Rural South African Children participating in the Venda Health Examination of Mothers, Babies and their Environment (VHEMBE). /globalhealth/article/global-health-night-2021-africa-non-communicable-diseases-women-and-child-health/exposure-household-air-pollution-and-immune-function-among-rural-south-african-children <h2>Abstract</h2> Mon, 25 Oct 2021 19:53:06 +0000 Emannuelle Batisse, T Di Lenardo, J Baumgartner, M Obida, R Bornman, B Ward, S Pillet, T Ramburn, K Moodliar, B Eskenazi, Jonathan Chevrier 2748 at /globalhealth Networks for Change and Well-Being: Addressing Sexual and Gender-Based Violence in South Africa and Canada /globalhealth/article/global-health-night-2021-africa-americas-global-indigenous-health-women-and-child-health/networks-change-and-well-being-addressing-sexual-and-gender-based-violence-south <h2>Abstract</h2> Mon, 25 Oct 2021 20:06:25 +0000 Catherine Dillman, Claudia Mitchell 2750 at /globalhealth Human Milk Microbiota in an Indigenous Population Is Associated with Maternal Factors, Stage of Lactation, and Breastfeeding Practices /globalhealth/article/global-health-night-2021-americas-non-communicable-diseases-women-and-child-health/human-milk-microbiota-indigenous-population-associated-maternal-factors-stage-lactation <h2>Abstract</h2> <p><strong>Background</strong>: Human milk contains a diverse community of bacteria that are modified by maternal factors, but whether these or other factors are similar in developing countries has not been explored.
