Understanding barriers and motivators to HIV self-testing uptake and clinic linkage among male partners of pregnant women in Uganda
REFNo: HS391ES
Aim 1: To qualitatively elucidate men and women’s personal narratives explaining beliefs, motivations, barriers and experiences influencing clinic HIV testing and linkage to HIV services.
Aim 2: To qualitatively identify attributes of a successful HIVST intervention to increase men’s HIVST uptake and clinic attendance after HIV self-testing. We will assess men and women’s knowledge/perceptions of HIVST and acceptability of strategies to optimize secondary distribution of HIVST from female partners.
Aim 3: To assess healthcare workers perspectives regarding the feasibility and acceptability of potential strategies of secondary distribution of HIVST from pregnant women to their male partners.

Validation of autism screening assessments: Comparison of the Social Communication Questionnaire, Social Responsiveness Scale and 23-Q with DSM- 5 in assessing for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Uganda
REFNo: HS423ES
The study seeks to answer the questions below.
1) In the Ugandan context, do total scores for the three ASD measures (i.e., SCQ, SRS-2, and 23-Q) yield adequate internal consistency relative to values reported in the test manual or available studies for those with ASD?
2) In the Ugandan context, do total scores for the three ASD measures (i.e., SCQ, SRS-2, and 23-Q) yield adequate internal consistency relative to values reported in the test manual or available studies for non-ASD cases?
3) In the Ugandan context, do total scores from the three measures (i.e., SCQ, SRS-2, and 23-Q) yield substantial mean differences consistent with construct-related (i.e., ASD construct) differentiation between ASD and typically-developing groups?
4) In the Ugandan context, will use of the recommended screening cut scores for each of the three measures (i.e., SCQ, SRS-2, and 23-Q) result in adequate sensitivity and specificity using DSM-5 ASD diagnosis vs. typically developing cases as the outcome variable?
5) Beyond the recommended cut scores for screening reported in each test manual, are there more optimal cut scores for each of the three measures (i.e., SCQ, SRS-2, and 23-Q) in the Ugandan context?
6) Are there significant convergent relationships among the total scores of the three measures (i.e., SCQ, SRS-2, and 23-Q) in the Ugandan context?

The adoption of SOPETAR innovations in MNCH service implementation for Bushenyi and Rubirizi Districts.
REFNo: HS427ES
The study seeks to assess the adoption of SOPETAR (scan-orient-plan-equip-train-assess-reflect) innovations so as to identify the high impact components and areas of MNCH services in the existing health structures at the community, health facility, and district levels in Bushenyi and Rubirizi Districts. Specifically, this study aims to: 1) establish the attributes of SOPETAR innovations that were adopted in the existing MNCH services at district health centers in Bushenyi and Rubirizi districts and 2) document how the SOPETAR innovations have been integrated in the MNCH services at district health centers in Bushenyi and Rubirizi districts.
