Tracking DISC project activities through integrated surveys in Uganda_Version One May 2021
REFNo: HS1481ES
This research protocol includes the DISC research that will happen from 2021 to 2024 in the DISC project’s focus geographies. The methods include several annual rounds of data collection, with 4 research methodologies: provider surveys, client exit interviews (CEIs), Household Surveys (HHS), and two follow up surveys with the individuals who participate in the CEIs.
Research Objectives
1. To understand exposure to information about self-injectable contraceptives in the DISC sentinel areas.
2. To understand knowledge and attitudes about self-injectable contraceptives among women in DISC sentinel areas.
3. To understand sexual and reproductive health empowerment among women of reproductive age and SI users in DISC sentinel areas.
4. To understand users’ experiences with self-injection training
5. To understand providers’ knowledge and attitudes regarding self-injectable contraceptive service provision.
6. To understand initiation and continuation of self-injection following training.
7. To gain lessons regarding client exit survey methodology for future survey implementation among self-inject clients.
8. To gain learnings regarding follow-up methodologies for future survey implementation among self-inject clients, particularly as relates to continuation measurement.

COVPN 3008: Multi-Center, Randomized, Efficacy Study of COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine in Regions with SARS-CoV-2 Variants of Concern. Version 1.0 16 May 2021
REFNo: HS1659ES
The primary objectives are:
•To assess vaccine efficacy (VE) of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine to prevent virologically-confirmed symptomatic COVID-19 starting 14 days after dose 2 in adults who are at risk of severe COVID-19
•To assess vaccine efficacy (VE) of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine to prevent severe COVID-19 starting 14 days after dose 2 in adults who are at risk for severe COVID-19
•To assess safety and tolerability of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine in adults who are at risk of severe COVID-19
Secondary objectives are to evaluate the following:
•Durability of VE of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine against COVID-19 and against severe COVID-19 through the final study visit (Month 12 post-dose 1) in volunteers with no previous COVID-19
•VE of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine against COVID-19 and against severe COVID-19 by neutralization phenotype and Spike sequence features of acquired SARS-CoV-2 viruses (sieve analysis), including VE against the B.1.351/501Y.V2 variant and VE against all other variants combined in volunteers with no previous COVID-19
•VE of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 infection defined by nucleocapsid protein seroconversion regardless of symptomology in volunteers with no previous COVID-19
•VE of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine against asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection defined by nucleocapsid protein seroconversion without prior occurrence of the symptomatic COVID-19 primary endpoint in volunteers with no previous COVID-19
•Post -vaccination immune response markers as correlates of risk of COVID-19 and as correlates protection against COVID-19
•VE of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine against COVID-19 and severe COVID-19 in all participants regardless of baseline SARS-CoV-2 status
gestational age)
The exploratory objectives are to evaluate:
•VE of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine against COVID-19 and severe COVID-19 by baseline HIV infection status in volunteers with no previous COVID-19 and in all volunteers regardless of previous COVID-19 status
•VE of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine against COVID-19 and against severe COVID-19 by neutralization phenotype and Spike sequence features of acquired SARS-CoV-2 viruses (sieve analysis), including VE against the B.1.351/501Y.V2 variant and VE against all other variants combined in volunteers with no previous COVID-19 and in all volunteers regardless previous COVID-19 status
•VE of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine against COVID-19 and severe COVID-19 in volunteers with previous COVID-19
•Relative rate of COVID-19 and severe COVID-19 in placebo recipients with previous COVID-19 compared to vaccine recipients with no previous COVID-19
•Assess T-cell responses in placebo recipients who develop COVID-19 compared to vaccine recipients who develop symptomatic COVID-19
•Assess incidence of adverse birth outcomes among pregnant persons enrolled in the trial
