Improving care and support of children with Cerebral palsy: Feasibility and Acceptability of Family care-group model in Kawempe division, Uganda
REFNo: HS6115ES
To evaluate coverage, appropriateness, adoption, acceptability, feasibility, fidelity and costs of implementing CP-family care-group model in improving supportive care of children with CP in peri-urban communities of Kawempe division,To assess perceived barriers and facilitators to implementing CP-family care-group model in improving care and support of children with CP at community, facility and division. ,We intend to roll-out cerebral palsy family care-group model in selected health facility catchment areas to reduce stigma/discrimination and improve supportive care of CP children in Kawempe division,

Evaluation of a point-of-care molecular diagnostic test for brucellosis
REFNo: HS6127ES
Aim 1. Evaluate a point-of-care, rapid recombinase polymerase amplification, lateral flow detection assay (RPA-LF) for Brucella using clinical specimens from children and adults in rural southwestern Uganda with suspected brucellosis. Aim 1a: Determine the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of the RPA-LF assay as compared to the current gold standard, blood culture, and quantitative PCR (qPCR). At Epicentre Uganda Research Laboratory, we will retrospectively perform the RPA-LF test on blood collected from patients presenting to health facilities in the Kazo and Kasese districts with malaria-negative fever for 1 week and one or more of the following symptoms: night sweats, headache, weight loss, fatigue, myalgia or arthralgia, and anorexia. We hypothesize that the RPA-LF assay can be successfully conducted in Uganda in a reference laboratory setting. In addition, we postulate that its sensitivity will be better than that of the currently available qualitative slide agglutination test and blood culture and will match that of qPCR. Aim 2b: Demonstrate the preliminary feasibility of RPA-LF test use at a peripheral health center in rural southwestern Uganda. We will conduct a small pilot sub-study to assess the acceptability and feasibility of test implementation by laboratory technicians at one of the study sites. We hypothesize that the assay can be successfully performed by local laboratory staff with minimal capacity investment. Aim 2: Explore the use of the RPA-LF assay for testing of cow and goat milk. For participants who test positive for brucellosis by slide agglutination test or blood culture, we will test self-collected pooled milk samples from their households using the Brucella Milk Ring Test and the RPA-LF assay and assess concordance between the two diagnostic methods.,The objective of this proposal is to preliminarily validate an RPA-LF assay for brucellosis that can be implemented in rural contexts in LMIC to improve brucellosis diagnosis and management.,

Maintenance of Place Attachment and Future Aspirations: Towards a Model through Insights from Marginalised Indigenous Communities in Uganda
REFNo: SS4116ES
The study broadly aims to unravel the different forms of social-symbolic work Indigenous communities acting entrepreneurially (including business operators and owners) engage in to signal their relationship with their ancestral land to restore, preserve, and maintain cultural heritage for their future generation after displacement and their community’s aspirations. To achieve this objective, the study answers the research question below:
How do Indigenous communities act towards restoration, preservation, and maintenance of linkage to their cultural heritage for their future generation after displacement and their communities’ future aspirations?
