Suubi+Adherence4Youth: Optimizing the Suubi Intervention for Adherence to HIV Treatment for Youth Living with HIV in Uganda
REFNo: SS1449ES
The proposed Suubi+Adherence4Youth study seeks to unpack the Suubi intervention to identify the most impactful and sustainable components: economic vs. psychosocial components, for adolescents living with HIV (ALHIV) across the HIV care continuum. The Suubi intervention was tested as a package of four components: 1) Financial Literacy Training (FLT); 2) Incentivized Matched Youth Savings Accounts (YSA) with income-generating activities (IGAs); 3) a manualized and visual-based intervention for ART adherence and stigma reduction; and 4) Engagement with HIV treatment-experienced role models. We propose a factorial experiment to unpack and optimize the Suubi intervention to enhance scale up in health systems using the multi-phase optimization strategy (MOST) -an engineering-inspired intervention framework. Our ultimate goal is to build Suubi version 2.0 that meaningfully improves viral suppression while performing efficiently, affordably, and at scale for a sustained impact.
Aim 1. Conduct a factorial experiment (optimization trial) to test the main effects of each of the four Suubi intervention components and combinations of components (interactions) on viral suppression (primary outcome).
Aim 2. Test mediators and explore moderators that explain and modify the relationship between each of the four Suubi intervention components and viral suppression.
Aim 3. Compare the cost and cost-effectiveness of each of the four Suubi intervention components and every combination of components.

Field testing of a portable low-cost diagnostic for the automated diagnosis of soil transmitted helminth infections from Kato-Katz thick faecal smears
REFNo: HS2431ES
Our plan of work is to travel to Uganda, where we will initially stay in Kampala, Uganda to prepare any equipment that needs to be purchased in-country (including reagents, consumables and treatment), and engage with stakeholders at the MOHU and Vector Control Division (VCD). We will then embark on a 14-day field study, travelling to an endemic area in the Tororo district. Samples will be taken from patients and analysed using gold standard diagnostic methods and the novel portable diagnostic. Clinical diagnoses will be made using gold standard microscopy by trained technician, and the efficacy of the investigational device will be compared to these diagnoses. Feedback of technicians will also be gathered during practical demonstrations, to inform a development and translation roadmap.
