刚果民主共和国仍然有力地提醒人们，战争、侵犯人权行为及其相关的健康和经济影响是如何摧毁一个社会的。在过去的十年里，刚果民主共和国将强奸作为一种战争武器，反叛分子和士兵对妇女和女孩进行残酷的袭击、强奸、酷刑和肢解。性暴力和基于性别的暴力的幸存者往往因感染、疾病、贫穷、耻辱和社会孤立而进一步受到创伤。有大量证据表明，社会决定因素（如贫穷、压力和创伤、污名化、缺乏获得卫生保健的机会）与健康之间存在关联；然而，在阐明这些关系或制定和测试干预措施以改变健康的社会决定因素方面进行了有限的研究，特别是在刚果民主共和国等冲突和冲突后环境中。本文的目的是介绍刚果-美国社区-学术研究伙伴关系，以获取证据，制定和实施可持续干预措施，开始解决健康的社会决定因素，包括刚果民主共和国东部南基伍省性暴力幸存者及其家庭的贫困和创伤压力。
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) remains an all-too-potent reminder of how war, human rights violations and their related health and economic impacts can devastate a society. The last decade has seen the use of rape as a weapon of war in the DRC, where rebels and soldiers subject women and girls to brutalising attacks, rape, torture and mutilation. Survivors of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) are often further traumatised by infections, disease, poverty, stigma and social isolation. Substantial evidence exists showing an association between social determinants (e. g., poverty, stress and trauma, stigma, lack of access to health care) and health; however, limited research has been conducted to elucidate these relationships or to develop and test interventions to change social determinants of health, especially in conflict and post-conflict settings such as the DRC. The purpose of this article is to present a Congolese-US community-academic research partnership to obtain evidence to develop and implement a sustainable intervention to begin to address the social determinants of health, including poverty and traumatic stress for survivors of SGBV and their families in the South Kivu province of eastern DRC.
