Building the evidence-base for the integration of rehabilitative services into health systems – a case study of clubfoot treatment in Uganda
REFNo: HS2614ES
The study has two aims, each with subsequent research questions:
Aim 1: To explore how policy makers, health providers, and caregivers define, understand and experience service integration and the potential implications for clubfoot treatment. (Qualitative)
• How do health care providers define and experience service integration, and what are the impacts of integration on their day-to-day clinical operations, workflow, and roles?
• How do district- and national-level bureaucrats and donors understand integration, and how does that shape integration of clubfoot treatment?
• How do caregivers understand and experience integration, and how does it impact their child’s treatment?
• How is the NCPU financed and what relationship does financial contribution have with integration?
Aim 2: To improve understanding of how the CAST mobile health application (CAST) impacts health providers’ behavior, and what potential impacts the CAST could have on service quality. (Mixed)
• What is the reach and adoption rate of CAST and its components among eligible Ugandan providers?
• How might CAST modify provider behavior at the facility level, both for clubfoot treatment and other services?
• How might the CAST facilitate quality of care and patient treatment?
o How do supportive services from MiracleFeet/CoRSU contribute to this? (e.g. training, supportive supervision, help desk)
o How does data from and usage of the Cast Community contribute to this?
• What is the potential future of the CAST if external support is withdrawn from clubfoot treatment and all services are fully managed by the public sector?

Tuberculosis, Alcohol, and Lung Comorbidities (TALC) Study
REFNo: HS2705ES
Qualitatively evaluate factors for tailoring pharmaco-behavioral alcohol and smoking interventions in PLWH being treated for TB. ,Explore how smoking alters the association of past-month heavy drinking and post-TB lung disease progression over time,• Aim 1b. Assess the association of past-month heavy drinking and post-TB lung disease progression over time. This aim uses recent alcohol use (30-day Timeline Followback, PEth) since direct mechanisms (e.g., alcohol toxicity) may drive the physiologic, anatomic, and immunologic outcomes of interest. We define past-month heavy drinking as ≥7 drinks/week (women), ≥14 drinks/week (men) or PEth>200 ng/mL.,• Aim 1a. Determine if past-year hazardous drinking is associated with post-TB lung disease. ,Aim 1. Determine the relationship between hazardous drinking and post-TB lung disease in PLWH.,

Sustainable Off-Grid Solutions for Pharmacies and Hospitals in Africa (SophiA).
Sub-component 1: Needs Assessment of Hospitals/Health Centre IVs for the Sustainable Off-Grid Solutions
Sub-component 2: Socio-Economic Acceptance and Participation Assessment for Stakeholders
Sub-component 3: Life Cycle Assessment and Sustainability Assessment
REFNo: SS1627ES
Goal of the SophiA Project: To bring environmental, economic, social and health benefits, creating new business and job opportunities through new technological solutions; to support African countries to pursue sustainable pathways of development through a low-carbon, climate resilient and green growth trajectory, leapfrogging fossil fuels and high GWP refrigerant technologies; and to improve the quality of life of populations through better treatment and working conditions in rural and remote health facilities in Africa.
Specific Objectives of the Proposed Studies:
i) To assess the needs from several health stations in order to identify and match the most significant and suitable health station which can be served by one SophiA system, considering different uses, replicability, cost and constraints as pertains energy consumption and solar radiation.
ii) To assess the level of acceptance of the SophiA technological solutions by the relevant stakeholders including beneficiary communities, local leaders, health care providers and managers, district officials, and national level decision makers/policy makers.
iii) To conduct a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to evaluate the different environmental impacts and calculate the CO2 emissions for each of the SophiA technology: solar thermal, solar PV, thermal storage, electrical storage, ice storage, refrigerators).
