Validation of autism screening assessments: Comparison of the Social Communication Questionnaire, Social Responsiveness Scale and 23-Q with DSM- 5 in assessing for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Uganda
REFNo: HS423ES
The study seeks to answer the questions below.
1) In the Ugandan context, do total scores for the three ASD measures (i.e., SCQ, SRS-2, and 23-Q) yield adequate internal consistency relative to values reported in the test manual or available studies for those with ASD?
2) In the Ugandan context, do total scores for the three ASD measures (i.e., SCQ, SRS-2, and 23-Q) yield adequate internal consistency relative to values reported in the test manual or available studies for non-ASD cases?
3) In the Ugandan context, do total scores from the three measures (i.e., SCQ, SRS-2, and 23-Q) yield substantial mean differences consistent with construct-related (i.e., ASD construct) differentiation between ASD and typically-developing groups?
4) In the Ugandan context, will use of the recommended screening cut scores for each of the three measures (i.e., SCQ, SRS-2, and 23-Q) result in adequate sensitivity and specificity using DSM-5 ASD diagnosis vs. typically developing cases as the outcome variable?
5) Beyond the recommended cut scores for screening reported in each test manual, are there more optimal cut scores for each of the three measures (i.e., SCQ, SRS-2, and 23-Q) in the Ugandan context?
6) Are there significant convergent relationships among the total scores of the three measures (i.e., SCQ, SRS-2, and 23-Q) in the Ugandan context?

Representation and Responses: Refugee Voice in Uganda
(Note: this has changed in regards to comments from the MAKSSREC)
REFNo: SS344ES
This research aims to change the narrative on humanitarian communications research by focussing on the feedback of beneficiaries – who are the primary subjects in campaigns and photos. This study will employ a qualitative approach, focusing on content analysis and ethnography through structured/semi-structured interviews, surveys, and content analysis, covering three levels: representation, production, and reception (Dogra, 2009). There will be a focus on semiotics (Barthes, 1977), including photo elicitation techniques (Pink, 2009) for individuals in focus group discussions to provide feedback on INGO campaigns.
Primary evidence will come from work with participants in the Refugee Law Project’s (RLP) Media for Social Change (M4SC) Programme, which works in 11 sites across Uganda, including Kampala and the No White Saviors (NWS) organisation, which is an activist Instagram account working to change narratives about the global South.
Data will be focusing on two parts: beneficiary reaction to how refugees are represented in aid campaigns and their utilisation of social media and technology to amplify their own storytelling.
Secondary evidence will buttress this analysis by supporting the narrow case study of Uganda. To ensure quality and feasibility, academic research selection is limited to peer-reviewed journals. Research on this subject encompasses grey literature, academic literature, artistic works, and social media that primarily covers humanitarian emergencies and development campaigns and their relation to the West. Secondary sources derive from relevant literature, as well as INGO campaigns, websites, and social media accounts. Other visual data will be derived from identified grassroots advocacy groups that work to challenge the INGO dominant narrative.

The Sustainability of International Investment Projects in the Forest and Bioenergy Sectors in Developing Countries: A Comparison of Uganda and Tanzania
REFNo: SS323ES
The objective of this research project is to update research into the sustainability and effectiveness of the foreign investment projects in the land-use sector through a comparative research design involving qualitative and quantitative approaches. Led by Mark Purdon, Assistant Professor at the École des sciences de la gestion at the Université du Québec à Montréal (ESG-UQAM), the project will also involve academic researchers and graduate students at Makerere University in Uganda. In particular, the project will involve Dr. Patrick Byakagaba of Makerere University, School of Forestry, Environmental and Geographical Sciences who has been undertaking similar research over recent years. The specific objective is to determine the extent to which foreign investment projects in the land-use sector in Uganda and Tanzania, which were first investigated in 2009, are contributing to sustainable low-carbon development, with special attention to payment issues, household land management and project performance.
