The role of incentives for adoption of climate-smart agricultural innovations: An experimental evaluation in Uganda
REFNo: SS502ES
The main objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of the incentives for the adoption of Climate-smart Agricultural (CSA) innovations, and ensuing impacts on farming systems resilience and household welfare, and examine the effects of weather, market, and payment uncertainties on investments in CSA innovations.
Specifically, this research will:
1. Assess the effects of different bundles of ‘push’ and ‘pull’ incentives on adoption intensity of climate-smart agricultural practices and technologies;
2. Determine smallholders’ behavioral responses to shocks and examine the extent to which uncertainties regarding weather, market and, timing of payment influence smallholders’ decisions to invest in inputs with/without incentives;
3. Analyze the effects of CSA adoption for intra-household decision-making;
4. Assess the impacts of CSA practices and technologies on farming systems’ resilience, factor productivity, revenues, income and, nutrition.

Family SuppleMented pAtient monitoRing afTEr suRgery (SMARTER) pilot trial
REFNo: HS944ES
To develop a training and support intervention, in accordance with the MRC complex intervention framework, to train family carers to perform and document basic vital signs, to supplement routine monitoring of patients by nursing staff, whilst they provide personal care to their relatives after surgery and to evaluate the effect of this intervention on frequency of documented vital signs for patients in the first three days after surgery in a stepped-wedge cluster trial.
To evaluate compliance with the trial intervention, and how this changes over the duration of the trial.
To evaluate the effect of the intervention on in-patient mortality, to inform the design of a subsequent international clinical trial across Africa

Development of community-led approaches to support sexual and reproductive health among survivors of trafficking in Uganda
REFNo: SS746ES
1. Define survivor-led SRH priorities
2. Identify gaps in addressing priorities as identified by survivors and local healthcare providers
3. Test the methodological suitability of two participatory approaches (Photovoice and participatory action research) as transformative methods
4. Bring together stakeholders working with communities of survivors, and based on objectives 1–3, develop a Phase II intervention that supports transformative participatory research approaches among communities of survivors and works with local healthcare providers to provide integrated SRH, as per the needs and expectations of survivors

Obesogenic Impact of Dolutegravir-based Antiretroviral Therapy among HIV-Infected Ugandans
REFNo: HS1029ES
The primary aim is to rigorously investigate the obesogenic effects of DTG switches including: 1. Body composition changes, using body mass index (BMI) and anthropometrics and whole body DXA to measure lean and fat mass (including whole body, trunk, and limb). 2. Ectopic fat changes, emphasizing hepatic fat as measured noninvasively using the continuous attenuation parameter (CAP) measured in dB/m by FibroScan. 3. Cardiometabolic changes, through measurement of HOMA-IR, hemoglobin (Hb)A1c, and fasting lipid panel. We will also explore a major potential mechanism of INSTIrelated weight gain by measuring orexigenic (ghrelin, adiponectin) and anorexigenic (leptin, PYY) hormones, which have been implicated in the pathogenesis of antipsychotic related weight gain, as well as weight loss related to bariatric surgery
