Improving understanding of Capacity to consent to sensitive biomedical Research among adolescents in Rakai Uganda (ICARE)
REFNo: SS3447ES
Aim 1: Sampling from RCCS-experienced and RCCS-naïve households, and using the MacCAT-CR, examine adolescent capacity to consent to biomedical research and correlates of that capacity.
1.a: Compare capacity to consent among early, middle, and late adolescents and their guardians.
1.b: Assess correlates of capacity, including actionable factors such as health literacy and education and biomedical-related factors such as PrEP eligibility, use, awareness, beliefs, peer norms, and stigma.
Aim 2: Using a systematic qualitative analysis – guided by our conceptual framework for mapping age differences – examine processes of decision-making around biomedical prevention and biomedical research (e.g., stigma, understanding of biomedical prevention and research risks and benefits and constructs like randomization, privacy, safety and autonomy) among guardians and early, middle and late adolescents.
Aim 3: In partnership with US and Uganda researchers, and IRB members, construct a digital toolkit to support decision making regarding key aspects of minor consent in low-resource settings.

Viral causes of acute respiratory illness among hospitalized children in Kasese District, Uganda:an observational cohort study.
REFNo: HS5218ES
Primary Objectives
The primary objective of this study is to test the feasibility of implementing rapid molecular diagnostic test and assess the burden and epidemiology of influenza subtypes A and B, SARS- CoV-2, and RSV among pediatric patients hospitalized for ARI in Kasese District, Uganda.
Specific Aims
Determine the feasibility of implementing a rapid molecular diagnostic testing program at peripheral health centers in rural western Uganda. We will measure the number of eligible children consenting to testing, the number of tests performed, the median time from sample collection to result, and the number of invalid test results due to either operator error or equipment issues.
Measure the proportion of pediatric hospitalizations for ARI attributable to SARS-CoV-2, influenza subtype A and B, and RSV in communities with different population densities in Kasese district. We will enroll children admitted with ARI, test a nasopharyngeal swab for influenza, SARS-CoV-
2 and RSV using the Cepheid GeneXpert platform, and document participant demographic information.
Describe the clinical presentation and management for patients admitted with respiratory illness to health facilities in Kasese District. We will record the vaccination history, presenting symptoms, diagnoses, and treatments administered, including antibiotics. We will also follow-up all enrolled participants two weeks after admission to determine illness outcomes. We will compare these variables between those who test positive and those who test negative for SARS-CoV-2, influenza, and RSV.
