The Qualitative Report
A political discussion has recently erupted over the return of migrant kayayei (head porters) from Northern Ghana.

The purpose of this study was to explore how the socioeconomic environment of home communities aids the reintegration of return migrants from Ghana's …

An online survey was completed by 148 people living with HIV and semi-structured interviews were conducted with an additional 20 participants. The research findings have been conceptualized within a social ecological …
