Health-related quality of life and environmental distress among climate-displaced communities in Uganda
REFNo: HS7560ES
4.1. General Objective
The general objective of this study is to characterize, summarize, and explore the connection between CRD and the current health-related QoL and environmental distress circumstances of CRMs in Uganda, focusing on both the national level and within a single IDP camp.
4.2. Specific Objectives
We propose two specific objectives that run in parallel to one another.
Objective 1: Characterize key stakeholders’ understanding of the causes and health-related consequences of CRD in Uganda. This objective will investigate stakeholders’ understanding of CRM circumstances in Uganda, particularly the types of climate factors contributing to displacement, the challenges faced by this population, and potential strategies for improving their health, using key informant interviews.
Objective 2: Explore how climate-related displacement experiences, aspects of vulnerability, and resilience contribute to quality of life and environmental distress (e.g., solastalgia and loss of place) throughout migration journeys of climate-related migrants in the Muhokya IDP Camp in Kasese District. Guided by an emerging method that blends geospatial mapping and narrative analysis,20 we will qualitatively explore the displacement, QoL, and distress experiences of CRMs.
