The Effects of a Hands-off Approach and Information Empowerment on Adherence to HWTS: Evidence from a Multi-Arm Randomized Field Experiment in Northern Wakiso, Uganda
REFNo: SS4167ES
This study aims to test two hypotheses on how to improve adherence to HWTS, especially focusing on the regular cleaning of water containers: (1) whether a hands-off approach, such as a conditional cash transfer, is more effective than a conventional hands-on approach, and/or (2) whether information empowerment—specifically, visually exposing the inside of water containers—can promote adherence under challenging conditions.

Assessing different deployment models for small-scale tsetse control using Tiny Targets
REFNo: NS1013ES
The aim of this study is to evaluate three different models of Tiny Target deployment: top-down regular; top-down intensive; community-based, that could be used for future reactive vector control. The data that will be generated in the study will enable policy makers, implementers and funders to make an informed decision about how to implement reactive vector control.
The aim will be achieved by the following objectives:
Objective 1: to determine which deployment model achieves the greatest reduction in tsetse densities
Objective 2: to compare the resource requirements of each deployment model
Objective 3: to ascertain the acceptability of the different deployment models to the communities
Objective 4: to compare the coverage and quality of Tiny Target deployments between models
Objective 5: to assess community knowledge of tsetse habitat and human-tsetse contact areas

The health and well-being benefits of transitioning to piped water service: A prospective study in rural Uganda
REFNo: SS4270ES
Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6.1 commits the water sector to a new standard of “safely managed” services, including access to an improved water source on premises. This target is not supported by evidence consistently indicating that piped water services on premises generate substantially greater benefits, however. This study, which is the first known prospective analysis of a piped water infrastructure investment in a lower-income country, will help to ensure that debates around costs and benefits of improved services within the SDG initiative are grounded in solid empirical evidence. More specifically, the broad goals of the study are to (1) measure stated preferences of households for piped water service from community water points (public standposts) and household/yard connections, as well as for individual service attributes (e.g., reliability, water quality); (2) assess the impact of transitioning from use of improved community water sources (especially boreholes with handpump) to piped water supply on outcomes at the individual, household and community level; and (3) identify the household, community, and water service characteristics associated with comparatively large (small) impacts.

Exploring the implementation of new PrEP methods during periconception, throughout pregnancy, and after childbirth
REFNo: HS6260ES
Aim 1a: Explore preliminary implementation strategies for injectable cabotegravir (CAB) and other long-acting PrEP agents for people of reproductive potential in rural Alabama and Uganda.
Aim1b: Informed by the qualitative findings, we will design a survey to quantify the perceived barriers and facilitators and assess feasibility and acceptability of the implementation strategies proposed in Aim 1a. We propose to survey N~120 key stakeholders (KS) across the two sites.
Approach (Aims 1a-b): Using rapid qualitative methods to analyze in-depth interviews and focus group discussion conducted with ~24 key stakeholders (ministry of health, clinic administrators, clinicians) and ~50 consumers (people of reproductive potential) across the two sites. We will then survey ~120 key stakeholders across sites to assess feasibility and acceptability of the implementation strategies identified in the qualitative work (Aim 2b).
Aim 2. Select implementation strategies for a future adaptive trial through a modified Delphi process.
Approach: Stakeholders will be convened for site-specific group meetings to hear suggestions for implementation strategies and adaptations, and asked rank their preferences. These data and information from the literature will inform the design of an adaptive trial for evaluating implementation strategies for novel PrEP for people of reproductive potential in rural Uganda and Alabama.
