Community Based Policing: Uganda Case Study (ICT4COP)
REFNo: SS231ES
The Uganda case study provides an insight into African perspectives on COP. The overarching objective of the study is to explore the influence and impact of the Ugandan approach to COP. As such the research in Uganda will focus on: police training, application of policing/community policing and impacts of policing on communities. Parts of the research in Uganda may link to the South Sudan case study including through the impact of Uganda’s approach to policing on South Sudan through police training.
The focus on the training component will mainly observe the efforts of the Government of Uganda to assist the crisis in South Sudan through police training, but also on the Ugandan concept of COP and the official structures for the implementation of COP. The focus on application of policing/community policing will explore police-community relations in selected areas in Northern Uganda. This component will also include an element bridging into the South Sudan case study by exploring the dynamics between Ugandan host communities and settled refuges from South Sudan, concentrating on police-community relations and the unique challenges that Ugandan police faces in such contexts. The impacts of policing on communities element will explore how both the police and communities collaborate and how has this collaboration affects a range of human security issues in contexts.
To achieve the overarching objective the research will revolves around the following sub-objectives:
1. To analyze COP applied in Northern Uganda
2. To investigate COP applied in a variety of socio-cultural contexts in Northern Uganda
3. To understand COP training provided by Uganda to other African nations

Knowledge, attitudes and perceptions about antibiotic use and resistance among final year medical and pharmacy students- a step toward antimicrobial stewardship
REFNo: HS248ES
Overall Goal of the Project
To increase the awareness among the public and various stakeholders (College Principle, curriculum designers, heads of departments, Ministry of Health (MOH)) of the need of antimicrobial stewardship programmes within the curriculum of final year undergraduate medical students with the ultimate aim of antimicrobial stewardship being introduced in the regional hospitals where these students will be posted
Specific Objective One
To determine the level of competency of final year medical and pharmacy students of the Makerere University and Mount Kenya University Colleges of Health Science to prescribe antibiotics appropriately
Specific Objective Two
To review and report on the findings of this study to various stakeholders in meetings, conferences within the region and to publish the findings from this study in a peer reviewed journal within the final year of the project

Baylor-IMPAACT-004: IMPAACT 2009; Protocol titled: Pharmacokinetics, Feasibility, Acceptability, and Safety of Oral Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis for Primary HIV Prevention during Pregnancy and Postpartum in Adolescents and Young Women and their Infants Ver
REFNo: HS252ES
a) Primary Objective for PK Component
• To determine the concentration of Tenofovir diphosphate (TDF-DP) associated with adequate adherence to FTC/TDF among women observed ingesting daily oral Prep during pregnancy and postpartum.
b) Secondary Objective for PK Component
• To compare TFV-DP concentrations observed in pregnant and postpartum women
c) Primary Objectives for PrEP Comparison Component
• To characterise PrEP adherence among HIV- uninfected young women during pregnancy and for twenty-six weeks postpartum, when provided with enhanced adherence support through mobile technology and counselling based on observed drug levels.
• To assess the safety of FTC/TDF for PrEP during pregnancy and postpartum by comparing pregnancy outcomes and maternal and infant safety between cohorts.
d) Other objectives for PrEP Comparison Component
• To identify individual, social and structural barriers and facilitators to PrEP uptake during pregnancy, and to adherence during pregnancy and postpartum.
• To compare reported sexual risk behaviours and incidence of sexually transmitted infection, among women who initiate PrEP during pregnancy versus women who decline PrEP.
• To compare antiretroviral drug resistance among women and infants who acquires HIV and without exposure to FTC/TDF for PrEP, including whether resistance was transmitted or acquired at time of transmission.
• To compare bone density in women who initiated PrEP during pregnancy and women who decline PrEP.
e) Exploratory Objective for PrEP Comparison Component
• To describe the composition of and changes in the maternal vaginal and gut microbiome and infant gut microbiome according to PrEP exposure.

Extent of Scale-Up of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Load Testing Services and Linkages to Intensive Adherence Counselling Support among HIV Infected Patients on Anti-Retroviral Therapy in Gomba District Uganda: Secondary Data Analysis.
REFNo: HS255ES
1. To estimate the proportion of PLHIV on ART who had VL tests done from January 2017- December 2017 in Gomba district in Uganda, using descriptive secondary data analysis from a cross-sectional study.
2. To estimate the proportion of PLHIV on ART with unsuppressed VLs from January 2017- December 2017 that were linked for IAC support within a three month period from receipt of VL results in Gomba district in Uganda, using descriptive secondary data analysis from a cross-sectional study.
3. To identify factors associated with the uptake of VL testing and IAC services among those with unsupressed VL using logistic regression analysis in a secondary data analysis from a cross-sectional study.
4. To provide recommendations based on population-based factors likely contributing to IAC services uptake and disseminate new knowledge on VL testing and linkages to IAC support services to district health workers, district leaders and other stakeholders.
