Improving Glycaemic Control for Children and Young People with Type 1 Diabetes in Uganda: Towards a Feasible and Acceptable Self-Care Programme
REFNo: HS519ES
Aims of the Study
The aims of the study are to investigate factors associated with poor glycaemic control of children and young people with T1D attending the CDiC Clinics in Uganda; and to develop and evaluate an individually tailored, age-appropriate management intervention to support decision-making and self-care with a specific focus on insulin management and blood glucose monitoring with available resources. It is an implementation research.
Objectives
This is an implementation research employing a mixed methods research design. In-depth interviews will be conducted alongside unmet needs in managing the diabetes and an assessment of healthcare preferences. Because people often have diverse preferences for healthcare interventions, and preferences tend to change through the course of an illness, we shall also examine whether these preferences are characterized by heterogeneity, and if so, the extent to which this heterogeneity could be explained by relevant characteristics of people with T1D. The study will therefore have the following specific objectives:
1. To determine the prevalence of poor glycaemic control among children and young people with T1D attending CDiC clinics in Uganda.
2. To assess patient factors associated with poor glycaemic control in children and young people with T1D attending CDiC clinics in Uganda.
3. To assess family factors associated with poor glycaemic control in children and young people with T1D attending CDiC clinics in Uganda.
4. To assess health system factors associated with poor glycaemic control among children and young people with T1DM attending CDiC clinics in Uganda.
5. To assess social factors associated with poor glycaemic control in children and young people with T1D attending CDiC clinics in Uganda.
6. To determine the un-met needs in the children and young people with T1D attending the CDiC clinics in Uganda.
7. To assess diabetes care preferences in children and young people with T1D attending the CDiC Clinics in Uganda.
8. To examine whether the diabetes care preferences among T1D are characterized by heterogeneity, and if so the extent to which the heterogeneity could be explained by relevant characteristics of people with T1D or their care givers.
9 To develop a feasible and acceptable self-management intervention.
10. To assess the impact of the individually tailored age-appropriate management intervention T1D treatment on the glycaemic control (HbA1c), in children and young people with T1D attending the CDiC Clinics in Uganda.
11. To determine the frequency of hypoglycaemic episodes with the new self-management program.
12. To assess the effect of the new self-management program on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of children and young people with T1D.

REFNo: NS113ES
General objective
To assess the temporal variations, abundance and population characteristics of dominant fish species in the catches of light attraction fishery in Lake Albert, Uganda Specific objectives
i)To establish the compositions and abundance of fish species in light attraction fishery in the three study sites over a period of one year.
ii)To determine the variation in composition of fish species in the catches over months and seasons of the year.
iii)To establish the trends in population characteristics of the dominant fish species in the light attraction fishery at three study sites over the study period. The population characteristics include;
a)Growth parameters; length, weight, length-weight relationship and recruitment
b)Sex determination, sexual maturity and size at first maturity
c)Breeding periodicity
d)Condition factor
e)Fecundity
iv)To determine the effects of light attraction fishery on its stocks and the stocks of non-target species in the catches.
v)To determine the fishers’ perception towards the exploitation of light attraction fishery of L. Albert.
