Development and Testing of BAJJAJJA: An Intervention to Promote Economic Empowerment and Health of Grandmothers who Provide Primary Care for Grandchildren in Uganda
REFNo: SS3611ES
Main Objective
The study’s objective is to refine and test the feasibility and acceptability of my innovative intervention, BAJJAJJA: Building A Joint Action for JaJJAs which couples an income- generating activity (IGA) with nurse-facilitated group health coaching. This objective is informed by the NIH Stage Model of behavioral intervention development.
Specific Objectives
Aim 1: To refine and adapt the BAJJAJJA intervention through a collaborative and iterative feedback process with a diverse community group of 18 members. In a series of sessions, I will iteratively engage diverse community groups (nurses, local officials, IGA experts, and GMCs) and use cognitive interviewing to gain feedback on the appropriateness of study measures, content, delivery, and intervention format.
Aim 2: To test the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of the BAJJAJJA intervention in improving economic and health outcomes among 24 Ugandan GMCs. Over a 12-month period and at three time points of assessment, I will use a mixed methodology with a quasi-experimental design to collect data that will be examined to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of the intervention on participants’ household income and health outcomes.
Aim 3: To explore the barriers and facilitators to (3a) maintenance of the BAJJAJJA individual intervention benefits (e.g., physical activity level and frequency) and (3b) sustainability of the IGA activities (e.g., grandmothers’ accessing external supports such as community resources) at 6 months post-intervention. Following a mixed methods approach, the 24 GMCs from Aim 2 will be interviewed to further evaluate the long-term maintenance and sustainability of the intervention. Health assessments, interviews, and IGA site visits will be used to explore the intervention outcomes and benefits at 6 months post-intervention.
