Abstract	Background: The phenomenon of sexual harassment (SH) is a complex issue with multiple prongs that concerns all members of academia and raises serious challenges, particularly regarding prevention and response. SH in tertiary institutions remains a huge problem worldwide, leading to severe emotional, academic, and career difficulties, as well as undue suffering. Institutions have responded in various ways to alleviate the burden of SH with little success, especially in Nigeria. The prevalence is high but reportage is low because of the culture of silence around SH in most educational institutions. This study aims to identify factors associated with SH in tertiary institutions in Nigeria and explore factors surrounding reportage or nonreportage following the experience of SH, the institutional mechanisms to prevent and respond to SH, and the lived experience of survivors of SH. Objective: The objective of this study was to present a study protocol that is designed to identify factors associated with the experience of SH in tertiary institutions in Nigeria, the institutional mechanisms to prevent and respond to SH, and the lived experience of survivors of SH. Methods: A mixed (quantitative and qualitative) methods approach is used consisting of a policy review of existing antisexual harassment policies in the selected universities, a quantitative survey to determine the correlates of SH, focus group discussions to explore the perspectives of the university community concerning SH, in-depth interviews to explore the lived experiences of survivors of SH, and key informant interviews to understand the perspectives of people who provide interventions to survivors. Results: This study was funded in July 2022 by the Consortium for Advanced Research Training in Africa, and data collection started in November 2022. The SH policies were comprehensive, with clear policy statements and definitions, and recognized a wide range of survivors and perpetrators. However, there was no clear mention of prevention and response to same-sex SH. Lived experiences showed negative psychological and social sequelae and little institutional support. Conclusions: This is the first study that has a component investigating same-sex SH in tertiary institutions in Nigeria. This is also one of the first studies to explore the lived experiences of survivors of SH in Nigerian universities. The findings from this study suggest that periodic evaluation of SH policy implementation will improve institutional support, thus creating safe spaces for survivors and will thereby encourage reportage and support; prevention and response strategies need to be more inclusive; and more interventions should focus on strengthening prosocial skills and healthy, equitable relationships.

Abstract	Objective: Health care providers (HCPs) may serve as facilitators or barriers to access. We explore the knowledge, attitudes and practices of HCPs in Jamaica to identify gaps which may lead to unmet contraceptive needs for adolescents. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was utilized to collect data from urban-based HCPs through a self-administered questionnaire regarding knowledge of, attitudes towards and practices in adolescent contraception. Summative knowledge and attitude scores were generated. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were performed. Results: One hundred and forty-four HCPs participated with a female predominance (n=127; 88.2%) and median (IQR) age of 36 (20) years old. HCPs mean (SD) knowledge score 1.95 (0.81) negatively correlated with age (r= -0.279; p<0.01) and length of time working as an HCP (r= -0.287; p<0.01). Pharmacy staff had lowest mean (SD) scores, 13.4 (4.48); p<0.05. Mean attitude score did not differ significantly by marital status or religion. As HCPs’ length of time in practice increased there was a decrease in the attitude scores (β= -0.380; p<0.05). Conclusion: There is need for capacity-building of HCPs to deliver active contraceptive counselling and provide modern, effective, evidence-based contraceptive services to adolescents in Jamaica. Review and revision of guidelines, policies and laws governing delivery of sexual and reproductive health services is recommended.

Abstract	Background: Stress exposure in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is associated with poor outcomes in preterm infants. However, factors predicting subsequent NICU stress exposure have not been identified. Purpose: To characterize NICU stressors experienced by preterm infants during the first 2 weeks of life and identify demographic, perinatal, and institutional variables associated with stress exposure. Methods: A secondary analysis of data from a nonexperimental, prospective study was conducted using data from 60 very preterm infants born 28 to 31 weeks gestational age. Stress exposures during the first 2 weeks of life, operationalized as number of invasive procedures, were characterized by type and quantity for each infant using data extracted from electronic health records. Associations between number of invasive procedures and demographic, perinatal, or institutional variables were analyzed using linear regressions with robust standard errors. Results: Preterm infants experienced, on average, 98 (SD = 41.8) invasive procedures. Of these invasive procedures, nasal and/or oral suctioning episodes (58.1%), followed by skin-breaking procedures (32.6%), were most frequent. Differences in the number of invasive procedures were found for maternal race; infants born to Black mothers experienced fewer total invasive procedures than infants born to White mothers. The number of invasive procedures also varied across NICUs. Implications for practice and research: Preterm infant stress exposure differed by maternal race and NICU, consistent with research findings of differential treatment of diverse infants. Further research is needed to understand the reasons for these differences and to identify best practices to standardize neonatal care.

Abstract	Most neural stimulators do not have a high enough compliance voltage to pass current through the skin. The few stimulators that meet the high compliance voltage necessary for transcutaneous stimulation are typically large benchtop units that are not portable, and the stimulation waveforms cannot be readily customized. To address this, we present the design and validation of a portable, programmable, multichannel, noninvasive neural stimulator that can generate three custom bipolar waveforms at ± 150 V with microsecond temporal resolution. The design is low-cost, open-source, and validated on the benchtop and with a healthy population to demonstrate its functionality for sensory and motor stimulation. Sensory stimulation included electrocutaneous stimulation targeting cutaneous mechanoreceptors at the surface of the skin and transcutaneous nerve stimulation targeting the median nerve at the wrist. Both electrocutaneous stimulation on the hand and transcutaneous stimulation at the wrist can elicit isolated tactile percepts on the hand but changes in pulse frequency are more discriminable for electrocutaneous stimulation. Also, neuromuscular electrical stimulation of the flexor digiti profundus is evoked by applying electrical stimulation directly above the muscle in the forearm and to the median and ulnar nerves in the upper arm. Muscle and nerve stimulation evoked similar grip forces and force rise times, but nerve stimulation had a significantly slower fatigue rate. The development and validation of this noninvasive stimulator and direct comparison of common sensory and motor stimulation targets in a human population constitute an important step towards more widespread use and accessibility of neural stimulation for education and research.

Abstract	Background: Early sexual debut, low educational attainment, history of rape and transactional and intergenerational sex have been associated with HIV infection among Nigerian adolescents, especially females. We sought to understand the "why", and how to mitigate against these determinants and barriers to addressing adolescent sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and HIV prevention needs. Methods: This qualitative study generated data from 49 focus group discussions with male and female adolescents living with and without HIV, healthcare workers, members of civil society organizations working with young people, and parents of adolescents living with HIV. Participants were recruited from all six geopolitical zones in Nigeria. Data was analysed with ATLAS.ti software. Hermeneutic units were created, and codes developed from focus group transcripts. Network View Manager was used to create maps of codes, memos and quotations, and relevant quotes were retrieved from transcripts. Results: Four major themes were identified, relating to individual, parental, community and government roles in reducing the risk of HIV and unplanned pregnancy among adolescents in Nigeria. Individual factors influencing sexual risk behaviours of adolescents include peer pressure, poor risk perception for HIV, and misconceptions about the efficacy of contraceptives and condoms. Respondents entrusted State responsibilities such as facilitation of HIV-affected adolescents' access to education, rather, to individuals, parents and the community; and placed the blame for rape on rape survivors. Findings also highlighted the inadequacy of health systems to address adolescents' needs for treatment of sexually transmitted infections and to provide appropriate education on secondary HIV prevention for those living with HIV. Conclusion: Rigorous studies are needed to understand dynamics between adolescents' risk behavior, HIV risk perception, parental roles in mitigating HIV risk in adolescents, and the role of communities and government in HIV prevention and treatment for adolescents in Nigeria.
