This entails: Children without parental care – children within child care institutions: Child care institutions in Guyana normally form the first level of response for children who cannot have parental care for reasons of orphanhood and other vulnerabilities such as abuse, poverty, family breakdown, parental neglect and disability.
We calculated the prevalence of orphanhood amongst 0 17-year olds for each country, applying appropriate sample weights and adjustments for DHS sampling design.
Although we have shown that the baseline presence of many WHO clinical stage 4 symptoms have a higher hazard ratio for mortality; age, orphanhood, baseline CD4%, and hemoglobin were not predicators of mortality in our cohort as they were in other published African cohorts [ 9- 11, 47, 48].
Just as in many other countries affected by the HIV/AIDS pandemic, AIDS orphanhood is often the primary criterion used by organisations for eligibility for HIV/AIDS interventions for children.
Tests for associations between immediate and intermediate effects of orphanhood and psychological distress showed strong positive associations for: (a) living in a household with a recent death; (b) living in a household with a seriously ill adult member; (c) suffering stigma; (d) inadequate care; (e) child labour; (f) physical abuse; and (g) being out of school (Table 2).
