Epidemics in Refugee Settlements: An ethnographic exploration of ‘Preparedness’ in Palabek Refugee Settlement, Northern Uganda, during times of COVID-19
REFNo: SS745ES
The objective of this study is to understand how epidemic ‘preparedness’ in refugee settlements can pay greater attention to histories, ideas and practices from refugees themselves. Through ethnographic research, including, but not restricted to, fieldwork in Palabek Refugee Settlement, northern Uganda, during times of COVID-19, the connections and disconnections between global policy, biomedical approaches, and ‘preparedness from below’ will be explored as equal objects of study.

Understanding how information on abortion is shared in social networks: a mixed-methods follow up study to refine two social network-based methods for measuring abortion incidence
REFNo: SS814ES
This study aims to understand how information on pregnancy termination is shared within social networks and use this information to assess and improve the use of two social-network based methods for estimating abortion incidence.
Specific objectives
(1) Improve the robustness and accuracy of the estimate of abortion incidence in Uganda
(2) Assess how diffusely information about pregnancy termination is shared within women’s social networks in Uganda
(3) Provide detailed information on the timing and purpose of pregnancy termination disclosure
