Evaluation of the Patient Navigation Program at Uganda Cancer Institute
REFNo: HS1014ES
The goal of this study is to document the experiences and lessons learned (through a baseline and endline process evaluation), and the ways in which this program improved outcomes for cancer patients (through an outcome evaluation). These evaluations will document best practices for other countries considering similar projects, provide programmatic evidence on the usability and effectiveness of the program development methodology, and guide development of a resource toolkit for other health institutions like UCI seeking to start a patient navigation program.
The evaluation questions are:
Process Evaluation (2020 and 2021)
1. Coordination and Referral: Has the patient navigation program increased coordination/ referral of patients within Uganda Cancer Institute (UCI) and with other support services (e.g. Civil Society Organizations (CSO), psychosocial services and other necessary services)?
2. Fidelity and Adaptation: To what extent is the patient navigation program implemented as intended and what changes to the program have been made over time?
3. Improving Understanding of Care: To what extent does the patient navigation program reduce barriers to understanding cancer diagnosis and accessing treatment services and how does patient navigation increase adherence to patient treatment plans?
4. Training and Technical Assistance: How effective is the training and technical assistance provided by American Cancer Society (ACS) in supporting new patient navigation program design, preparation and implementation?
5. Sustainability: How prepared is the program to transition to UCI ownership?
Outcome Evaluation (2023)
1. To what extent, if at all, are the program activities focused on addressing the needs of the target population?
2. To what extent do decision makers and other stakeholders view patient navigation as the right intervention to address challenges to patient access to cancer treatment?
3. How effective is the patient navigation program at improving hospital processes and service delivery?
4. How effective is the patient navigation program at improving desired outcomes at the individual patient and caregiver level?
5. How effective is the training and technical assistance provided by ACS in supporting new patient navigation program design, preparation and implementation?
6. To what extent is the patient navigator program likely to continue after ACS support ends?

Understanding Community-oriented Prosocial Behaviors in Uganda
REFNo: SS641ES
The proposed study aims to investigate and contextually define relevant categories of prosocial behaviors and the demographics and individual characteristics associated with such prosocial behaviors, in Uganda. There are three major reasons that motivate why this research is much needed:
Firstly, this research will aim to define prosocial behaviors in the context of Uganda and demonstrate methods to capture and categorize them, both of which have currently been defined by Western research. We seek to understand the variations in the way people perceive and engage in prosocial behaviors in an under-researched context and contribute our results to the existing body of literature.
Second, this research will further explore how individual characteristics (both demographics and psychographic) are associated with different contextualized categories of prosocial behaviors. Existing research has largely explored demographic links to some extent but has overlooked the link between other individual differences to the level of engagement with prosocial behaviors.
Finally, the results from the proposed research will have far-reaching impacts for social and community development, including but not limited to community-based groups, as well as researchers, practitioners, and policymakers. Our research can be easily used to guide the design and framing of communication to encourage engagement in prosocial behavior that promote community development and improve welfare.
