Improving HIV Outcomes through Collaborative Mental Health Interventions
REFNo: SS1642ES
To assess the perspectives of traditional and faith healers and biomedical mental health professionals on mental health treatment for people living with HIV/AIDS who have mental illness using a qualitative approach. We will interview 5-10 traditional healers and 5-10 faith healers over 2-4 months in early 2023. They will be recruited from the local area based on their experience working with people with HIV/AIDS and mental illness. These interviews will aid in characterizing the different conceptions of mental illness etiology and treatment strategies among both traditional healers in the African tradition and faith healers/pastors in the Christian tradition, and examine if collaboration between traditional and faith healers, and biomedical service providers can be developed to best serve people living with HIV/AIDS and improve health outcomes.,Objective 1b - To determine the characteristics of people living with HIV/AIDS and mental illness using a quantitative approach. We will collect cross sectional data on this population regarding of mental illness and HIV disease severity and duration, sociodemographics, and traditional and biomedical care history.,Objective 1a – To examine the experiences of people living with HIV/AIDS with mental illness in the Psychiatric Unit at Mbarara Hospital and traditional healer clinics using a qualitative approach. We will interview 15-25 patients living with HIV/AIDS and mental illness over 2-4 months in early 2023. They will be recruited from the psychiatric unit at Mbarara hospital. By interviewing mental health patients living with HIV, we can better understand how they view their illness, how local beliefs inform mental health care utilization, as well as their pathway to care and ultimately treatment outcomes.,To develop an intervention in which biomedical professionals collaborate with local traditional and faith healers to provide mental health services which will ultimately improve viral suppression, increase longevity, and reduce preventable morbidity and mortality.

The Effects of Cassava Drying Technology on Commercialization and Consumption Smoothing
REFNo: SS1700ES
The main goals of the pilot RCT are to ascertain the technical efficiency of the machines, the viability of the model where agents operate the machines and charge a fee for drying, and to observe how harvest and sales timing, consumption and cropping decisions change when farmers gain access to drying technology. In addition, we will explore additional mechanisms including varying the contract structure, and getting a sense of which channels are most salient to focus on (e.g. how likely we would be to detect effects on intertemporal smoothing beyond addressing the barriers to adoption to a seemingly profitable technology).
