• Incidence of grade 3/4 AEs, SAEs, HIV-related events (including acquired immune deficiency syndrome [AIDS]-defining illnesses and Stage-3-defining Opportunistic Illnesses in HIV Infection), and AEs leading to discontinuation of study intervention through 24 weeks of study treatment.
Secondary Endpoint
• Incidence and severity of AEs/HIV-related events and their relatedness to RPV through 24 and 48 weeks of study treatment.
• Change from baseline Movement.
• Viral genotype at the time of virologic failure through 24 and 48 weeks of study treatment.

Taking the Good School Toolkit to scale
REFNo: SS1035ES
The aim of the project is to determine the feasibility and acceptability of using Regional Resource Persons to deliver the Good Schools Toolkit in primary and secondary schools in Uganda and to relate markers of implementation to intermediate outcomes in teachers.
The specific objectives are:
1. To determine whether implementation of the Good Schools Toolkit through Regional Resource Persons can be done with fidelity and whether it is associated with attitudes towards violence against children and markers of school operating culture among teachers.
2. To understand Teacher Protagonists’ motivations, their perceptions of their role and how these evolve during intervention implementation. To understand Teacher Protagonists’ experiences and opinions of intervention mode of delivery and the support they receive from Regional Resource Persons and school administration, and their views on the main successes and challenges of this approach.
3. To understand the experiences of Regional Resource Persons in supporting schools and at different stages of intervention implementation. To understand Regional Resource Persons’ perceptions of the main successes and challenges they face during intervention implementation and how these challenges might be overcome.
4. To explore how the attitudes and behaviours of the Regional Resource Persons evolve following Good Schools Toolkit training and during their role supporting schools, and how this correlates with their performance.
5. To understand teachers’ experiences returning to school after prolonged COVID-related closures

My Mobile Wallet: An Intervention to Support Access to Tuberculosis Care and medication Adherence in Rural Uganda
REFNo: HS1688ES
Assess the refined My Mobile Wallet intervention for larger scale feasibility, acceptability, and impact on TB treatment adherence and clinical outcomes. We will randomize 162 newly diagnosed TB patients (1:1:1) to SMS texts + incentives Arm A, SMS texts only B, and control Arm C (standard clinic-based TB care); follow-up will be the 6 month-treatment period. Feasibility and acceptability will be assessed per above. Impact will be based on electronically monitored medication adherence (primary), as well as treatment completion, clinic attendance, cure, and mortality (secondary).,Refine the My Mobile Wallet intervention. We will adapt the intervention to address any feasibility and accessibility issues raised in R21 findings. We will then pilot test the refined version of the intervention in 10 TB patients over two months of treatment to ensure optimal functionality. ,Assess the initial feasibility and acceptability of My Mobile Wallet. Forty patients with newly diagnosed TB will use My Mobile Wallet over their 6-month course of treatment. Feasibility will be assessed by appropriate receipt of the cash transfers and SMS texts, and intervention functionality. Acceptability will be assessed using System Usability Scale [53] and interviews based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology [54].,Determine the optimal design and develop My Mobile Wallet as an intervention to support TB medication adherence. Through client-centered approaches, we will iteratively conduct focus group discussions with up to 30 TB patients to develop an optimal My Mobile Wallet intervention.,
