Comparing the Diagnostic Performance of the Rapid Tick Exposure Test (RaTexT®) and Larval Packet Test [LPT] for Acaricide Resistance Management in Uganda
REFNo: NS843ES
The general objective of this study will be to determine the diagnostic performance of RaTexT® compared to larval packet technique, test a mobile application for its ability to capture acaricide resistance data generated by RaTexT® and transmit it to end users as dynamic maps of acaricide resistance as well as determine the gender roles that are likely to underpin successful RaTexT® introduction. The specific objectives of this acaricide study will be to determine:
i.Laboratory and field diagnostic performance [specificity, sensitivity, negative and positive predictive values] of RaTexT® when used to detect acaricide resistance in tick populations isolated from different agro-ecological zones of Uganda.
ii. Possibility of integrating RaTexT® -generated acaricide resistance | susceptibility data into a mobile phone app to allow end-users to create dynamic maps of acaricide resistance in different African ecologies.
iii.Gender-based drivers of successful introduction and sustainable utilisation of RaTexT®

Provider Perspectives on the PrEP Ring (“ProPrEP”): views from a maternal and child health program (“BAMA”) serving young mothers in rural Uganda.
REFNo: HS4468ES
General Objective
The study will deepen our understanding of provider perspectives on use of the PrEP vaginal ring among young mothers living in rural areas of Uganda.
Specific Objectives
1. Identify preliminary areas for education and outreach to improve both provider and end-user understanding/knowledge of the new vaginal ring technology, thus increasing likelihood of quality counseling and uptake among a vulnerable population of young mothers.
2. Explore the reception by health care personnel of promotional and information/education/counseling (IEC) materials developed by the multilateral “Catalyst” study (funded by PEPFAR through USAID) for ring launch, especially in rural regions having distinct health services resources; identify areas for possible adaptation or elaboration for best uptake and use by health workers
3. Expand understanding of facilitators and barriers faced by young mothers in accessing HIV prevention information and services, especially:
a. community and peer-based stigma
b. provider attitudes
c. models of service provision linking maternal health and HIV prevention/care
