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.

Clonal Hematopoiesis: A Global Perspective on the Impact of CH on Alzheimer’s Disease in Sub-Saharan Africa
REFNo: HS5533ES
Main Objective
1. The aim of this proposed work is to compare the frequency and type of clonal hematopoiesis (CH) mutations in age-matched African American and Ugandan populations. We intend to determine the correlation between specific CH-associated mutations and development of Alzheimer’s Disease in both a Ugandan and African-American population.
Specific Objectives
1. Compare the frequency of CH in an elderly African American versus elderly Ugandan population.
2. Compare the types of CH mutations in an elderly African American versus elderly Ugandan population.
3. Determine the correlation between specific CH-associated mutations and the development of AD in a Ugandan population.

The microbiome as an aetiological factors in colorectal carcinoma in Ugandan patients
REFNo: HS5644ES
1. To investigate the frequency of carriage of faecal P. micra in Ugandan CRC patients and controls by 16S rRNA sequencing and PCR and assess its potential as a non- invasive biomarker compared to other bacteria (Study 1).
2. To explore the associations of P.micra and F.nucleatum, the general tumour microbiome, the intra-tumour immune response and the tumour MSI status within the tumour itself. P.micra and F.nucleatum will be determined by PCR, the tumour microbiome by 16S rRNA sequencing and the tumour immune response both pathologically and by the numbers of infiltrating lymphocytes a key prognostic marker. MSI and MSS status will also be identified (Study 2).
3. To analyse the bacterial content of faeces using 16S rRNA sequencing in relation to the clinical features and MSI/MSS status of CRC in Ugandan patients and controls using network analysis in Ugandan patients. To identify bacteria positively and negatively associated with Ugandan bowel cancer carriage (Study 3).
4. To determine the prevalence of cancer related stool toxins, pks, FadA, and ETBF in Ugandan colorectal cancer patients and controls using quantitative PCR assays on faeces (Study 4).
5. To compare the above findings with those of CRC patients and controls from the international microbiome network in Ghana, India, Vietnam, Argentina and England (Study 5).
