Congratulations to a number of our UAB-UMMC MWCCS Investigators who recently published a paper in Work: A Journal of Prevention, Assessment & Rehabilitation entitled “Understanding the Psychosocial Context of Employment and Occupational Productivity among Women Living with HIV: A Mixed-Methods Study”. This pioneering research headed by Dr. Jenni Wise was a continuation of her dissertation research. Dr. Wise evaluated the employment rates and occupational productivity of women living with HIV (WLWH). Researchers analyzed qualitative interviews and quantitative data obtained from women in the Women’s Interagency HIV Study (WIHS) study participants. Implications of this research show a relationship between employment status and occupational productivity. This relationship also affects other areas such as mental and physical health, social support and empowerment.
Look out for this exciting work in an upcoming edition of the Work:A Journal of Prevention, Assessment & Rehabilitation
