Explorative investigation of the burden and risk factors of uvula infections and associated traditional uvulectomy practices in Luwero district and surrounding areas
REFNo: HS1167ES
OBJECTIVES
The overarching objective of this explorative research study is to investigate and document, in a scientifically sound manner, the condition called “akamiro”; determine the case definition, describe its general epidemiology including the beliefs and perceptions around it and the traditional surgical procedure, and commence etiological investigations.
Our proposed specific objectives are;
1. To determine the clinical case definition of the uvula infections called “akamiro” – general and age-specific case definitions for infants, children, adolescents and adults.
2. To investigate major risk factors of uvula infections /“akamiro”.
3. To determine the magnitude and associated factors of uvula infections /“akamiro”, and geo-map its spread.
4. To determine the prevalence of traditional uvulectomy and its outcomes and sequelae.
5. To establish the community beliefs, perceptions and practices associated with “akamiro”.
