Joshua Kiyingi holds a Masters in Statistics and a Bachelors of Science in Quantitative Economics from Makerere University, Uganda. His research focuses on interventions to address global health issues, including HIV risk reduction among economically vulnerable populations (women, children and adolescent) in low-resource settings, costing, cost-effectiveness and cost-benefit analysis of health interventions. My doctoral research focusses on economic behaviors and HIV risk reduction among vulnerable women in Uganda using data from a five-year longitudinal randomized control trial with an economic empowerment intervention. Joshua has vast experience leading research studies in resource-constrained settings. He has successfully engaged and led four NIH-funded (R01) clinical trials in Sub-Saharan Africa focusing on HIV risk reduction, adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) and behavioral health among women, children and adolescents. He has used different statistical methods such as generalized estimating equations, structural equation modelling and multilevel mixed-effects models to test the impact of health interventions on HIV risk reduction among vulnerable populations, and he has over 29 peer-reviewed publications in top journals like PLoS ONE and AIDS and Behavior. He has extensive experience in monitoring and evaluating USAID-funded programs in Sub-Saharan Africa.
