Reducing violence against children and intimate partner violence in Uganda: Feasibility Study of Digital Delivery of the Parenting for Respectability Programme
REFNo: HS5488ES
Overall research objective
The overarching objective of the study is to test the readiness, feasibility, and initial effectiveness of the PfR-App in reducing VAC, IPV, and optimising male engagement in order to lay grounds for a Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) and eventual wider scale-up of the programme.
The specific objectives are to:
1. Assess users’ and facilitators’ perspectives and experiences, acceptability and satisfaction with the PfR-App functionality across contexts and sub-populations.
2. Use the in-app data collection tool to measure evidence of the initial effectiveness of the app by evaluating at the immediate post-test the effect of the digital intervention on knowledge, attitude and practices in parenting.
3. Compare different population characteristics and different delivery options on parents’ engagement with the App and evidence of initial effectiveness, acceptability, attrition, relevance, engagement, usability, and satisfaction.
4. Test the impact of the design features and content of the PfR-App on initial parental engagement and retention in order to achieve the highest possible fidelity/participation rates in the one month after enrolment and use it to improve the App experience for target users.
5. Test the impact of various factors including the timing, frequency, length and order of sessions, push notifications and in-App survey questions on engagement and response rates in order to implement the most effective strategies to achieve the highest possible engagement and retention rates, including optimising male engagement.

Development and Testing of BAJJAJJA: An Intervention to Promote Economic Empowerment and Health of Grandmothers who Provide Primary Care for Grandchildren in Uganda
REFNo: SS3611ES
Main Objective
The study’s objective is to refine and test the feasibility and acceptability of my innovative intervention, BAJJAJJA: Building A Joint Action for JaJJAs which couples an income- generating activity (IGA) with nurse-facilitated group health coaching. This objective is informed by the NIH Stage Model of behavioral intervention development.
Specific Objectives
Aim 1: To refine and adapt the BAJJAJJA intervention through a collaborative and iterative feedback process with a diverse community group of 18 members. In a series of sessions, I will iteratively engage diverse community groups (nurses, local officials, IGA experts, and GMCs) and use cognitive interviewing to gain feedback on the appropriateness of study measures, content, delivery, and intervention format.
Aim 2: To test the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of the BAJJAJJA intervention in improving economic and health outcomes among 24 Ugandan GMCs. Over a 12-month period and at three time points of assessment, I will use a mixed methodology with a quasi-experimental design to collect data that will be examined to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of the intervention on participants’ household income and health outcomes.
Aim 3: To explore the barriers and facilitators to (3a) maintenance of the BAJJAJJA individual intervention benefits (e.g., physical activity level and frequency) and (3b) sustainability of the IGA activities (e.g., grandmothers’ accessing external supports such as community resources) at 6 months post-intervention. Following a mixed methods approach, the 24 GMCs from Aim 2 will be interviewed to further evaluate the long-term maintenance and sustainability of the intervention. Health assessments, interviews, and IGA site visits will be used to explore the intervention outcomes and benefits at 6 months post-intervention.
