Study built over two decades of research on intimate parther violence and HIV. Sub-Saharan Africa has among the highest prevalence of intimate parthner violence (IPV) and HIV worldwide. The results of this very pooled analysis show that pwomen who had experienced physical or sexual IPV in the past year were 3·22 times as likely to acquire a recent HIV infection and women living with HIV who experienced physical or sexual IPV in the past year were 9% less likely to be virally suppressed
The study aims to investigate whether machine learning-based predictive models for cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk assessment show equivalent performance across demographic groups (such as race and gender) and if bias mitigation methods can reduce any bias present in the models. This is important as systematic bias may be introduced when collecting and preprocessing health data, which could affect the performance of the models on certain demographic sub-cohorts.
