Addressing Sickle Cell Disease in Uganda: A Multi-Sectoral Approach
REFNo: HS4276ES
Aim 3: We aim to assess the current digital capacity (smart mobile phone access, internet access, data security, access to data) of KHCIV sickle cell patients, their caregivers, and KHCIV clinic staff in order to understand their preparedness for using mobile applications to improve sickle cell disease care. We seek to identify facilitators and barriers to uptake of mHealth tools and interventions, including Nanbar Health for patients and SCD Toolbox for KHCIV providers. In addition, we aim to determine the feasibility of using the Nanbar Health and SCD Toolbox mobile applications in Kalangala District and propose solutions for adaptation to enhance sickle cell care and improve outcomes beyond Kalangala District for others in Uganda. ,Aim 2: We aim to improve clinical monitoring of home-based adherence to hydroxyurea by exploring the feasibility and acceptability of using a rapid point-of-care electrophoresis sickle cell test (Gazelle) to monitor fetal hemoglobin for sickle cell patients taking hydroxyurea at their quarterly clinic visits to KHCIV. In addition, we aim to understand the facilitators and barriers to successful home-based adherence to hydroxyurea through a home visit to interview patient and caregivers about their adherence-related behaviors and observe conditions in the home that directly influence adherence to hydroxyurea, such as pill storage. ,Aim 1: We aim to explore the facilitators and barriers to uptake of newborn screening at KHCIV at a time when the Government of Uganda is scaling up newborn sickle cell testing across the country. We will describe the challenges for staff at a remote government health care facility to scale up newborn sickle cell testing. We will study parental perspectives on newborn sickle cell testing and their experiences with the current standard-of-care (dried blood spots) sent by KHCIV to the Central Public Health Laboratory in Kampala.,This study aims to reduce the burden of SCD in Uganda through a multi-sectoral study of the facilitators and barriers to: scale-up of universal newborn screening, adherence to treatments such as hydroxyurea, and improved access to sickle cell health education through mHealth digital apps. ,
