Causes And MEchanisms foR non-atopic Asthma in children (CAMERA) Study
REFNo: HS2510ES
There is an urgent need for new and innovative research into the causes of non-atopic asthma (NAA), and the likely mechanisms involved. The objectives of this study are therefore to:
I. investigate the causes of NAA in a variety of settings: high and low asthma prevalence, HICs and LMICs (Work Package 1 (WP1)
II. investigate three possible mechanisms of NAA in these different settings, including
the relative importance of neural mechanisms (Work Package 2 (WP2))
This intended scientific value of study is to provide key ground-breaking insights into the
causes and mechanisms of the poorly-studied yet predominant non-atopic asthma phenotype
because: (i) non-atopic asthma likely has different causes from atopic asthma, and these have been little studied to date in both high-income countries and low- and middle-income countries? (ii) non-atopic asthma likely involves different mechanisms, which require different treatments.
This study is likely to show, in a variety of settings, that a substantial proportion of non-atopic asthma may involve different mechanisms, and will identify new directions and priorities for prevention, mechanistic research, and the development of new therapies

Main objective
To establish baseline status of the selected indicators for the Uthabiti project impact, outcome and outputs.
a)To provide initial values for the impact and outcome indicators disaggregated by gendered households as appropriate in the Uthabiti intervention areas, establishing target levels for improvements in these indicators over the three-year implementation period.
b)To provide more evidence to describe the prevailing conditions of the target communities or populations in terms of their socio-economic wellbeing and self-reliance and refine intervention. This will provide the consortium team a deeper understanding of the context to tailor the interventions as well understanding how well or not, the proposed theory of change aligns with the demonstrated need of the target population survey.
c)To provide Uthabiti baseline indicator values that can be compared with the endline indicator values to measure the level of changes and inform future programing,, and
d)To integrate gender and social inclusion throughout the review.

The principles of patient autonomy, non-maleficence, beneficence, and justice will be employed. Institutional safeguards, such as human subjects review committees and policies governing organisational ethics, will be followed. To this end, we shall seek ethical approval from the Makerere University School of Biomedical Sciences Research Ethics Committee and the Uganda National Council for Science and Technology. We shall also seek permission from the Ministry of Health as well as the management of the health units from which the data will be collected. We will provide verbal and written explanations of the study, including the aim, the level of participation required, potential risks of involvement, and the approximate duration of participation. The consent will include full verbal (in case of illiteracy) and written/signed informed consent from all individuals and groups before accepting to be interviewed. We will seek written permission to record interviews, and access meeting minutes, reports, and other relevant documents from relevant persons prior to including them in the research. Participants will be asked to give verbal consent and confirm this by reading and signing the consent form (included in the appendix). The key informants, including service users, will be free to withdraw consent at any time without giving an explanation and without this negatively affecting the care they receive. Data collectors will translate information into the relevant local language where required. We will seek verbal consent from participants who struggle to read and write, and the next of kin will sign the consent form on behalf of the user. We will only include participants 18 years of age and older who can provide consent on their own. The participant information sheet will explicitly state that participation in this study is purely voluntary. Participants can withdraw at any time, up to 14 days after data collection, without giving the reason for their withdrawal from the study. Their decision to withdraw from the study will not affect the services they receive. Participants will have up to 48 hours after receiving full details about the study, to consider participating in the research and ask questions.
