Livelihood and Employment Sustainability among Youth with Disabilities in Rural Uganda
REFNo: SS2038ES
This research documenting young people’s everyday livelihood experiences over an extended period will be exploratory, but several theoretical concepts (e.g., livelihood framework, quality of life, sense of economic empowerment) inform the research questions and variables or processes to be explored. Changes to individual circumstances or experiences will not be evaluated through use of a control group, but by longitudinal analysis based on retrospective techniques (e.g., work history and livelihood narrative) and prospective techniques over the 16-month study:
(a) What socio-economic changes have been experienced by youth with disabilities since enrolment into the economic empowerment programme?
• Has participation in the programme enabled the young men and women with disability to change or undertake paid work activities and livelihood strategies?
• Has participation in the programme led to changes in the participant’s and family’s intra-household relationships and social networks?
• Has participation in the programme enabled the participant to improve and invest in asset portfolios and their management?
(b) What is the participant’s experience of peer research – either as the researched or the researcher? What factors in their daily lives influence their ability to engage in, co-create and co-deliver research with professional researchers?
(c) How does participation in an economic empowerment programme affect young people’s outlook and strategies for the future in this setting?
(d) To what extent is participation in an economic empowerment programme and improved employability prospects modifying stigma as it manifests in the participant’s social relationships?
(e) From the above, how does participation in an economic empowerment programme affect the participant’s quality of life and sense of well-being?

Investigating the relationship between poor nutrition in early-life and markers of metabolic disorders in young people within the General Population Cohort in rural Uganda (The DEPROMACE study)
REFNo: HS2757ES
The overall aim of this study is to investigate children exposed to undernutrition (low-birth weight and stunting) for a reduction in pancreas and kidney function capacity by assessing their glucose changes following an oral glucose test and BP response to changes in dietary salt intake
The primary study objectives are:
1. To identify children in the general population who have evidence of early childhood malnutrition.
2. To identify the social and cultural factors associated with early childhood nutrition within this population.
3. To compare the relative glucose area under the curve (AUC) comparing subjects who have history of low birth weight and undernutrition in early-life to those with normal birth weight, normal weight and height below 5 years.
4. To compare blood pressure changes following salt-challenge tests between subjects with history of low birth weight and undernutrition in early-life and those with normal birth weight, normal weight and height below 5 years.
