Abuse among Adolescents
REFNo: HS2683ES
Aim 1. Examine the prevalence and consequences of ADU in a cohort of 200 AYLHIV (ages 18-24) seen at six (6) HIV clinics in southwestern Uganda.
Aim 2. Using a mixed methods approach, identify the multi-level (individual, interpersonal, community and structural) factors associated with ADU among AYLHIV.
Aim 3. Using a subset of the sample, explore the feasibility and short-term effects of a family-based economic empowerment intervention on ADU among AYLHIV.

Landscape Assessment To Understand Maternal Vaccine Pharmacovigilance In Uganda
REFNo: HS2680ES
Main objective
The aim is to conduct a rapid assessment gap analysis and stakeholder mapping for safety monitoring of vaccines used in pregnancy and potential for use of Electronic Medical Record (EMR) for sentinel site surveillance in Uganda for post licensure studies as well as current tetanus and COVID-19 vaccination. The results of the assessment will inform areas of focus for establishment of robust safety surveillance of novel maternal vaccination and vaccines that maybe administered during pregnancy in pandemic situations in the country.
Specific objectives
1. Map stakeholders involved in regulation, policy setting, collection and reporting of adverse events following maternal vaccination and their linkages
2. Understand the existing methods, tools, and information flow for collecting and flow of adverse event following maternal vaccination
3. Mapping of current Electronic Health Record and registries roll-out and how they interface with national drug safety reporting system especially in relation to maternal vaccination
4. To understand the Community views, and perceptions on vaccination and reporting of AE during maternal immunization

Causes And MEchanisms foR non-atopic Asthma in children (CAMERA) Study
REFNo: HS2510ES
There is an urgent need for new and innovative research into the causes of non-atopic asthma (NAA), and the likely mechanisms involved. The objectives of this study are therefore to:
I. investigate the causes of NAA in a variety of settings: high and low asthma prevalence, HICs and LMICs (Work Package 1 (WP1)
II. investigate three possible mechanisms of NAA in these different settings, including
the relative importance of neural mechanisms (Work Package 2 (WP2))
This intended scientific value of study is to provide key ground-breaking insights into the
causes and mechanisms of the poorly-studied yet predominant non-atopic asthma phenotype
because: (i) non-atopic asthma likely has different causes from atopic asthma, and these have been little studied to date in both high-income countries and low- and middle-income countries; (ii) non-atopic asthma likely involves different mechanisms, which require different treatments.
This study is likely to show, in a variety of settings, that a substantial proportion of non-atopic asthma may involve different mechanisms, and will identify new directions and priorities for prevention, mechanistic research, and the development of new therapies

Baseline survey for diverse and resilient livelihoods for youth and women from refugee and host communities in Isingiro and Lamwo districts
REFNo: SS1547ES
Main objective
To establish baseline status of the selected indicators for the Uthabiti project impact, outcome and outputs.
a)To provide initial values for the impact and outcome indicators disaggregated by gendered households as appropriate in the Uthabiti intervention areas, establishing target levels for improvements in these indicators over the three-year implementation period.
b)To provide more evidence to describe the prevailing conditions of the target communities or populations in terms of their socio-economic wellbeing and self-reliance and refine intervention. This will provide the consortium team a deeper understanding of the context to tailor the interventions as well understanding how well or not, the proposed theory of change aligns with the demonstrated need of the target population survey.
c)To provide Uthabiti baseline indicator values that can be compared with the endline indicator values to measure the level of changes and inform future programing,, and
d)To integrate gender and social inclusion throughout the review.
