HPTN 084 - A Phase 3 Double Blind Safety and Efficacy Study of Long-Acting Injectable Cabotegravir Compared to Daily Oral TDF/FTC for Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis in HIV-Uninfected Women
REFNo: HS147ES

Primary Objectives • Efficacy: To evaluate the relative efficacy of oral CAB/CAB LA (oral run-in and injections, Steps 1 and 2) vs. daily oral TDF/FTC for HIV prevention (Steps 1 and 2). • Safety: To evaluate the relative safety of oral CAB/CAB LA (oral run-in and injections, Steps 1 and 2) vs. daily oral TDF/FTC for HIV prevention (Steps 1 and 2). Secondary Objectives • To compare HIV incidence among participants receiving oral CAB/CAB LA vs. daily oral TDF/FTC (Steps 1, 2 and 3). • To evaluate relative efficacy of oral CAB/CAB LA vs. oral TDF/FTC in subgroups defined by the baseline factors of: age, herpes simplex virus-2 (HSV-2) serostatus, contraceptive method, and body mass index (BMI). • To describe and model the relationship between HIV incidence and drug concentration, within each arm. • To describe the distribution and correlates of drug concentration, within each arm. • To compare the acceptability of and preferences for CAB LA vs. oral TDF/FTC. Tertiary Objectives • To estimate and compare sexual risk behaviors, as measured by self-report and rates of incident sexually transmitted infections (STIs), between study arms. • To compare Grade >2 AE rates in women with baseline BMI

Assessment of Effectiveness and Cost-effectiveness of the Quality Improvement Guide on Maternal and Newborn Care in Uganda
REFNo: HS162ES

1 Evaluate the change in QI-related actions (defined as; establishing improvement team, identifying gaps in quality of care and particular barriers causing the gap, deciding what to improve, plan, test and implement interventions to address identified gap, routinely monitor the progress of improvement and institutionalize improvement and successful changes in the facility) and knowledge among health care providers and managers from targeted health facilities using different implementation strategies vs business as usual (control group). 2 Determine the change in quality of maternal and newborn care processes (defined as every patient receiving the recommended services every time it is appropriate) and outcomes from pre-intervention to post-intervention in health facilities which have been exposed to the three different implementation strategies. 3 Determine the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of the different implementation strategies in terms of expenditure per unit of patient care improvement achieved by the implementation strategy to each other and the control group with no incremental costs related to particular control group strategy. 4 Explore key informants perceptions of and experiences with the different intervention strategies.

Aging as a Human Condition: Radical Uncertainty and the Search for the Good (Old) Life
REFNo: SS150ES

Through a comparative ethnographic research design, we explore the universal and the culturally specific in experiences of aging, with an eye to how local cultural resources and social structures can both afford and constrain people’s search for the good life in later years. The specific objectives are to explore experiences of four main themes: the mindful body, intimate others, time lived, and home space
