Summary: This study investigated the sociocultural and psychosocial factors influencing adherence to infant feeding guidelines among Black mothers living with HIV in Nigeria, Canada, and the United States. The results indicated that factors such as infant feeding attitudes, motherhood experiences, hyper-vigilance score, paternal support, and perceived healthcare provider support were associated with adherence to guidelines. Cultural beliefs inconsistent with guidelines and low income were identified as barriers to adherence. City-level factors did not impact adherence, highlighting the importance of community, family, and individual level factors in adherence to infant feeding guidelines.

Summary: This study examined the impact of demographic, employment, and meteorological factors on physical activity. Mild correlations were found between meteorological factors and physical activity levels, with participants being least active in autumn and most active in spring. Factors such as maximum temperature, relative humidity, and sunset time together explained 17.6% of the variance in total physical activity. Additional research is needed to better understand the selection, preferences, and impact of indoor environments on physical activity.
