 A randomized controlled trial of copper and levonorgestrel intrauterine contraceptive devices among postpartum women in Uganda.
REFNo: HS337ES

Primary Objective:
1)To determine if there is a difference in expulsion rates at twelve months in women randomized to have the Levonorgestrel or copper intrauterine devices inserted in the immediate postpartum period (defined as after delivery of placenta to 48 hours postpartum).
Secondary objectives:
1.To explore women’s perceptions of postpartum contraception
2.To compare discontinuation rates of LNG-IUS and Copper IUD at 12 months
3.To compare pregnancy rates between the two arms at 12 months
4.To compare patterns of vaginal bleeding between the two arms
5.To compare contraceptive satisfaction between the two arms at 3, 6 and 12 months
6.To compare time from delivery to lactogenesis between the two arms
7.To compare breastfeeding over the initial 6 months between the two arms
8.To compare the change in infant weight, length and head circumference from delivery to 6 weeks and from delivery to 6 months between the two arms
9.To compare adverse events including but not limited to uterine perforation, pelvic infection, IUC expulsion, thromboembolism, and death between the two arms

Conserving the Gorillas of Bwindi
REFNo: NS111ES

The objectives of this project are: - to create a complete photo-story and short film about the work of UWA, CTPH and local communities around Bwindi. This will include gorilla treks, the process of finding the gorillas, sample collections from gorilla night nests, how samples are used/analyzed to determine the health of the individuals within a troop and the work in the CTPH Gorilla Health and Community Conservation Center. - to support UWA and CTPH by giving all photographs and the completed film to them free of charge at the end of the research period; - to celebrate Uganda’s commitment and role at the forefront of gorilla conservation; - to support UWA and CTPH and promote the work they do, showing the care and dedication of people who work directly with the gorillas and local people.
