Social Support Systems and Community Resource Utilization for Children and Families Affected by HIV/AIDS in Uganda: A Stakeholder Perspectives Study.
REFNo: SS182ES
The overall aim of this research is to examine the social support systems and community resources available to orphaned children and families affected by HIV/AIDS in Southwestern Uganda. Specifically, utilizing a stakeholder perspective, the objectives of this research are: 1) To identify and examine the available social support systems and resources available to children and families affected by HIV; 2) To examine both family-level and community-level facilitators and barriers to access and utilization of community resources; and 3) To identify resource gaps and ways to improve social support systems for children and families affected by HIV. The long-term goal of this proposed research is to inform a developmental research grant application (R21), to test the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary impact of a social support intervention that can address HIV-related stigma and social isolation, and its impact on the overall social and health wellbeing of orphaned children and their caregivers.
