Developing a robust interdisciplinary-informed WASH framework for the prevention and elimination of the wicked public-health problem of schistosomiasis (WickedSchisto)
REFNo: HS5707ES
I. What are the true health, economic and societal impacts of schistosomiasis?
a) Characterise what quality of life means to individuals living in Schistosoma endemic areas in Cameroon and Uganda, and how this is affected by infections, WASH access, environmental, spatial, social and other determinants.
b) Measure the diverse impact of schistosomiasis on individual’s and household’s quality of life.
c) Quantify the economic costs associated with schistosomiasis to individuals and society.
d) Develop and validate a field-suitable morbidity marker for mapping and monitoring disease resolution.
II. What are the most cost-effective combinations of WASH and MDA interventions?
a) Test the hypothesis that MDA refusal, due to fear of side effects, is linked with latrine access.
b) Characterise relative contributions of existing WASH on reducing reinfection post MDA: risk to self.
c) Quantify environmental force-of-infection and the impact of ‘risk to self’ and ‘risk to

One Health, multiple factors: an interdisciplinary investigation of emerging infectious disease
REFNo: NS924ES
Infectious diseases significantly impact global health, affecting both humans and animals. Zoonotic diseases, which are transmitted between animals and humans, pose particular risks in regions with high human-wildlife interaction. One such region is Uganda, specifically around Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (BINP), where communities live in close proximity to domestic and wild animals.
The objectives of this research are to:
Identify and quantify zoonotic pathogens in fecal samples from various animal species.
Assess pathogen prevalence across different species.
Analyze microbial community structures and antimicrobial resistance genes.

Using patient journey mapping approach to understand and improve post-abortion care within routine health care services
REFNo: HS4137ES
General objective
The general objective of this study is to use a journey mapping approach to understand client experiences as they navigate abortion services, and gaps in services, in order to improve PAC service delivery, client experiences and outcomes within the health care system.
Specific objectives
The specific objectives of the journey mapping approach include:
1. To document client experiences at different stages of post-abortion care-seeking.
2. To understand the current service provision processes for clients seeking post-abortion care services and identify gaps and unmet needs in these services.
3. To evaluate comprehensiveness of care and identify interventions to improve care.
4. To compare patient experiences with established standards of care
The specific objectives of the survey include:
1. To characterize the type and range of contraceptive and abortion-care services available for women who seek care at health facilities.
2. To determine whether women, including young women, receive comprehensive counseling on choices related to manual vacuum aspiration (MVA), medical abortion (MA) and contraception and which factors are related to receipt of such counselling.
3. To determine whether family planning and abortion services are provided with respect and compassion.
