Mapping the Cotton Boom in Eastern Uganda c 1910-1970: Temporal and Spatial Patterns and Economic Legacies
REFNo: SS1514ES
Main objective: the creation of a geocoded database of cotton ginneries in Uganda from the establishment of the first ginnery in 1904 until today
Specific objectives:
1. map the spatial distribution and characteristics of cotton ginneries in Uganda over the period 1904 until 2022 Delete
2. Link geographical variables such as soil quality, terrain ruggedness, rainfall patterns, cotton suitability, and suitability for other crops, tsetse prevalence and distance to waterbodies to the spread of ginneries, conceptualized as the likelihood that a grid-cell with specific characteristics is ‘treated’ with the appearance and disappearance of a ginnery. Delete

Suubi-Mhealth: A mobile health intervention to address depression and improve ART adherence among Youth living with HIV (YLHIV) in Uganda
REFNo: SS1442ES
The overall goal of this proposal is to develop a mobile health intervention (hereafter “Suubi-Mhealth”) for use among Ugandan youth with comorbid HIV and depression, taking into account their unique contextual, cultural, and developmental needs. This digital therapy intervention (mobile app) will apply user-centered design methodologies and will be based on the cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) tenets found to improve depression among individuals with HIV.
The study will be conducted in two phases (R21 and R33) as specified below
Phase 1. R21 Aim 1: Develop and iteratively refine an intervention protocol for Suubi-Mhealth based on formative work to understand the needs of depressed YLHIV, ages 14-17. We will conduct four focus groups, each with 6-8 depressed YLHIV and two focus groups with health care providers, recruited from clinics across the greater Masaka region of Uganda for feedback on proposed intervention content and methods to increase participation and retention.
R21 Aim 2: Based on the results of Aim #1, we will explore the feasibility and acceptability of Suubi- Mhealth for use with depressed YLHIV on a small scale (N= 30) to inform subsequent refinement for the larger phase of this project (R33 phase).
Phase 2. R33 Aim 1: Pilot test the preliminary impact of Suubi-Mhealth versus a waitlist control group (to receive the intervention after the active treatment condition), on reducing depression (primary outcome) and improving ART adherence, mental health functioning, quality of life, and lowering HIV stigma (secondary outcomes).
R33 Aim 2: Qualitatively examine barriers and facilitators for integrating Suubi-Mhealth into health care settings for depressed YLHIV.

Oral Papilloma Virus, Microbiota and Cancer in People Living with HIV (OHPVMC)
REFNo: HS2541ES
Aim 1: To characterize and understand oncogenic Oral Human Papilloma Virus (OHPV) infections in People Living With HIV (PLWHIV)in reference to non-clearance of OHPV. To test our hypothesis that the oncogenic OHPV type 16 infections in PLWHIV are associated with non-clearance, we will use a prospective cohort design to characterize and understand OHPV infections in PLWHIV.
Aim 2: To determine the differences in the periodontitis associated bacteria of PLWHIV with or without OHPV. To test our hypothesis that OHPV is associated with the presence of periodontitis associated oral bacteria, we will compare the patterns of periodontitis (red and orange complex) associated bacteria in PLWHIV in the presence or absence of OHPV infections.

Suubi+Adherence4Youth: Optimizing the Suubi Intervention for Adherence to HIV Treatment for Youth Living with HIV in Uganda
REFNo: SS1449ES
The proposed Suubi+Adherence4Youth study seeks to unpack the Suubi intervention to identify the most impactful and sustainable components: economic vs. psychosocial components, for adolescents living with HIV (ALHIV) across the HIV care continuum. The Suubi intervention was tested as a package of four components: 1) Financial Literacy Training (FLT); 2) Incentivized Matched Youth Savings Accounts (YSA) with income-generating activities (IGAs); 3) a manualized and visual-based intervention for ART adherence and stigma reduction; and 4) Engagement with HIV treatment-experienced role models. We propose a factorial experiment to unpack and optimize the Suubi intervention to enhance scale up in health systems using the multi-phase optimization strategy (MOST) -an engineering-inspired intervention framework. Our ultimate goal is to build Suubi version 2.0 that meaningfully improves viral suppression while performing efficiently, affordably, and at scale for a sustained impact.
Aim 1. Conduct a factorial experiment (optimization trial) to test the main effects of each of the four Suubi intervention components and combinations of components (interactions) on viral suppression (primary outcome).
Aim 2. Test mediators and explore moderators that explain and modify the relationship between each of the four Suubi intervention components and viral suppression.
Aim 3. Compare the cost and cost-effectiveness of each of the four Suubi intervention components and every combination of components.
