Implementation Science and Impact evaluation of the parenting for respectability programmes: A hybrid CRCT Designâ€
REFNo: SS900ES
The overall objective of this study is to conduct a cRCT evaluation of PfR to test its effectiveness and cost-effectiveness for reducing violence against children and gender based violence.
1. Test the effectiveness of PfR in modifying key outcomes on parent-child relationships and relationships between partners that underlie violence against children and girls/women.
2. Examine the cost effectiveness of PfR using incremental cost-effectiveness analyses (CEA) based both on the primary outcomes of harsh parenting and partner conflict as well as on disability-adjusted life years (DALYs).
3. Examine how three implementation variables – rural vs peri-urban locality, previously established groups vs new groups, and professional vs non-professional facilitators – affect participation, programme fidelity, and quality of delivery (measured quantitatively);
4. Examine the impact of implementation variables – participant engagement and quality of delivery by facilitators – on primary outcomes of parent- and child-report of harsh parenting and partner conflict.
5. Qualitatively investigate the five elements of implementation: (i) what training facilitators need (length, follow-up, who delivers training, location, etc.); (ii) what supervision facilitators need (frequency, by whom, nature of feedback, etc.); (iii) targeting of PfR at the most vulnerable families and how this can be done; (iv) disseminating PfR’s messages beyond those participating in group sessions to operate at a community, as well as individual, level; (v) differences between Wakiso and Amuru Districts in facilitative and hindering contextual factors. We will explore how these affect participation, programme fidelity, quality of delivery, participant response and community-wide impact.

DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF A LUMBAR MODIFIED SPINAL BRACE
REFNo: HS1558ES
Our main objective is to design, fabricate and test a modified fit-for-purpose lumbar orthosis through use of locally available raw materials whose design can be adopted by different orthopaedic workshops in low income countries. This will be achieved through the following sub aims;
1. Conduct a needs assessment to determine the needs and requirements of people with low back pain and derive specifications for a modified brace well suited for use by people in LICs.
2. Test and assess the functionality of the modified brace using simulations.
3. Fabricate a sturdy brace with locally sourced components that suits the specifications derived from the simulations so as to make it suitable for use in low income countries.
