Impacts of extreme rainfalls on access to SRHR services for adolescent girls and young women in Mayuge district Uganda: a Case Study
REFNo: HS5852ES
1. To assess the differences in the prevalence of adolescent girls accessing SRHR services in remote areas of Mayuge District during periods of extreme rainfalls compared to times of moderate rainfall or the dry seasons over the past two years.
2. To explore the effects of extreme rainfalls on AGYW access to SRHR services in remote areas of Mayuge District.
3. To identify existing and recommend strategies to ensure sustainable systems for continued provision of SRHR services for AGYW during periods of extreme rainfalls in Mayuge District.

Rule of THUMB: A multi-centre cluster trial evaluating the implementation of a perioperative care complex intervention to improve outcomes from haemorrhage during and after caesarean section in African hospitals
REFNo: HS5855ES
To evaluate the effect of the trial intervention on patient outcomes relevant to future trials.,To evaluate whether implementation of the ‘Rule of THUMB’ perioperative complex intervention increases risk assessment and improves diagnosis and compliance with proven interventions for haemorrhage during and after caesarean section.,

EVALUATING THE FEASIBILITY OF PLASMA SEPARATION CARDS (PSC) AS AN ADDITIONAL SPECIMEN TYPE FOR THE ALINITY M HIV-1 ASSAY
REFNo: HS5963ES
The primary objectives of this protocol are to:
1) prospectively enrol and collect capillary PSC and venous PSC from subjects undergoing routine viral load monitoring at ART clinics, from subjects undergoing HIV-1 screening, and from subjects undergoing testing for CD4 counts. Note that plasma will also be collected and tested from each individual as part of routine test of record HIV-1 testing at CPHL.
2) perform testing of the PSC and plasma specimens using the Alinity m HIV-1 assay.
3) assess the following key performance attributes of the Alinity m HIV-1 assay testing PSC as a specimen type:
o correlation between Alinity m HIV-1 viral load from PSC and Alinity m HIV-1 viral load plasma
o clinical sensitivity and specificity for Alinity m HIV-1 viral load from PSC based on the agreement between Alinity m HIV-1 PSC results and Alinity m HIV-1 plasma results
o misclassification rates by Alinity m HIV-1 PSC results above and below the clinical threshold based on Alinity m HIV-1 plasma results
o suppression rates in participants based on Alinity m HIV-1 plasma and PSC results
The secondary objectives of the protocol are to:
1) Following Alinity m HIV-1 PSC testing, if the data analysis described above indicates promising performance and if sufficient left-over PSC spots are available, remaining PSC may be tested with another HIV-1 viral load test for which PSC is a claimed sample type (e.g., cobas HIV-1 Quantitative nucleic acid test for use on the cobas 6800/8800 Systems).
2) PSC results for the additional testing (if performed) will be analyzed for correlation to plasma results, clinical sensitivity and specificity, misclassification rates, and suppression rates to further determine if Alinity m PSC performance is equivalent to other HIV-1 testing technology.

The Politics of Sustainable Energy Transition in Refugee Settlements: The case of Uganda
REFNo: SS3865ES
The research aims to examine the interactions between the top-down humanitarian energy system and the bottom-up community led-energy action, and how they shape sustainable energy access for displaced households in camp settings. Specifically, the research will address the following objectives:
1. To explore how the humanitarian system supports renewable energy access for displaced communities.
2. To examine the interrelationships between refugee-led energy initiatives and the international humanitarian agencies.
3. To examine how social interactions between refugee households and other energy stakeholders shape and influence the uptake of energy technologies and services in refugee camps.

OPTIMIZING LINKAGE OF PATIENTS WITH ADVANCED HIV DISEASE TO PRIMARY HIV CARE FACILITIES AFTER HOSPITAL DISCHARGE
(LINK STUDY)
REFNo: HS5890ES
1. To systematically review and describe the different interventions that have been tried to improve timely linkage among PLHIV after discharge from hospital in LMIC.
2. To explore the barriers and facilitators influencing the timely linkage of PLHIV with AHD to primary HIV care facilities after hospital discharge in Mbale regional Referral hospital.
3. To determine the proportion of PLHIV with AHD linked to HIV care facilities within 14 days post-hospitalization in Mbale regional referral hospital.
4. To design and evaluate the acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary effectiveness of implementing a theory-informed intervention to improve timely linkage among post-hospital discharge PLHIV with AHD in Mbale regional referral hospital.
5. To evaluate the implementation process of the LINK intervention using REAIM framework among PLHIV with AHD in Mbale regional referral hospital
