Youth Health SMS: Using mobile technology to prevent HIV and related Youth Health problems: Sexual health, Mental health, and Substance use in southwest Uganda
REFNo: SS969ES
This study will result in the development of one of the first mobile phone-based interventions for Adolescents and Young Adults (AYA) in East Africa that begins to address the co-morbid HIV risk factors of sexual health, mental health, and alcohol use. AYA is a developmental period associated with the increased importance of peers, increased technology use, increased mobility, initiation of sex, emergence of mental health disorders (if at risk), and initiation of alcohol use. Consequently, AYA is a critical time for preventive interventions. Poor mental health and alcohol abuse are associated with increased risk for HIV infection. Thus, the proposed research will attempt to address these areas concurrently.
The proposed research will evaluate if adapting and updating the existing free and nationally available text message and interactive voice recognition (IVR) service included in *161 that was initially developed by FHI 360. Our work will test and tailor messages for AYA to disseminate pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) information and pilot specific mental health and hazardous alcohol use screens. Symptomatic AYA will be referred to behavioral health counselors for further assessment and treatment as needed. AYA today rely heavily on mobile phones for information and services, thus we believe the proposed intervention could be applied and adapted across the region, and potentially in other under-resourced settings.
We will conduct formative research to evaluate and adapt an existing text-message and interactive voice recognition (IVR) platform. We will then pilot the new menus and examine if using this platform promotes HIV prevention (pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), HIV testing, safer sexual behaviors) and increases mental health and alcohol use screening and linkage to counselors as needed for adolescents and young adults (AYA) in a rural Ugandan region with high HIV seroprevalence and limited resources.
2. State the study objective(s) and research question(s)
Aim 1: To adapt an evidence-based mobile phone-delivered sexual health program, to include PrEP information and deliver mental health and alcohol use assessments with the goal of increasing screening and referral, as well as linkage to counselors for AYA at HIV risk.
Aim 2: Evaluate through a pilot RCT (N=126 AYA, 15-19 years) intervention (a) acceptability and feasibility, and (b) impact on uptake of HIV prevention strategies, as well as screening and linkage to mental health and alcohol use school-based counselors.

Mortality Surveillance Activity Protocol
All-cause Mortality Surveillance in Bunyangabu, Kabarole and Kyenjojo districts, Uganda
REFNo: HS1755ES
the objective of establishing a mortality surveillance system is to enumerate and document all-cause mortality in the 3 districts of Bunyangabu, Kabarole, and Kyenjojo in Uganda. Specifically this will; a) determine HIV/AIDS related and proportionate mortality rate in the three districts, b) determine maternal and neonatal mortality rates in the three districts c) identify causes of death among HIV patients and causes of pregnancy-related deaths in the three districts and d) document the implementation process of mortality surveillance in order to inform future scale up.
