Freedom of Religion or Beliefs Leadership Network (FoRBLN): A case study of Tororo district in Uganda.
REFNo: SS1308ES
Overall goal
To explore a new synthesis of theoretical models derived from a combination of work in cognitive anthropology with modes theory, social psychology with identity fusion, leadership psychology with barrier crossing leadership.
The research aims to address the following research questions
1. What role do imagistic group experiences play in fostering identity fusion Vs group identification bonds directed at the ingroup vs outgroup.
2. How far attitudes towards and experiences of barrier crossing leadership lead to improved intergroup attitudes and behaviours.
3. Whether individual empathetic abilities moderate the effects of imagistic experiences and/ or barrier crossing leadership.
4. How far the evidence from the cross cultural sample supports the theoretical model outline by modes theory.

Omuyambi: Traditional healer support to improve HIV viral suppression in rural Uganda
REFNo: HS2780ES
Aim 2: Evaluate implementation of the Omuyambi intervention using a convergent, mixed methods study design guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR). Participants for this Aim will include TH and PLWH from Aim 1, in addition to staff from affiliated HIV clinics, and Ministry of Health (MoH) AIDS Control Division Officers who will be invited to participate in in- depth interviews and structured surveys. Following the convergent mixed methods approach38, quantitative and qualitative data – including validated survey instruments, in-depth interviews, and structured observations – will be collected to evaluate context pertinent to Omuyambi implementation over a 24-month period.,Aim 1: We will compare the Omuyambi intervention versus HIV clinic-based care (control) in a cluster randomized trial to assess the effectiveness of a community-based traditional healer (TH)-facilitated support program for people living with HIV (PLWH) in Mbarara District. We will conduct a CRT of Omuyambi versus TH’s referrals for clinic-based HIV care at 40 TH cluster sites over 33 months in Aim 1. The unit of randomization is the TH; each cluster includes TH and adult PLWH who are ART naïve or defaulted from HIV care. TH who are randomized to Omuyambi will facilitate HIV support for ART naïve or nonadherent PWLH receiving care at their practice.,We propose a parallel arm cluster randomized trial to compare the intervention (Omuyambi) to the control in Aim 1 to assess the effectiveness of the intervention and use a mixed methods approach to evaluate the implementation in Aim 2.,

They will be recruited from the local area based on their experience working with people with HIV/AIDS and mental illness. These interviews will aid in characterizing the different conceptions of mental illness etiology and treatment strategies among both traditional healers in the African tradition and faith healers/pastors in the Christian tradition, and examine if collaboration between traditional and faith healers, and biomedical service providers can be developed to best serve people living with HIV/AIDS and improve health outcomes.,Objective 1b - To determine the characteristics of people living with HIV/AIDS and mental illness using a quantitative approach. We will collect cross sectional data on this population regarding of mental illness and HIV disease severity and duration, sociodemographics, and traditional and biomedical care history.,Objective 1a – To examine the experiences of people living with HIV/AIDS with mental illness in the Psychiatric Unit at Mbarara Hospital and traditional healer clinics using a qualitative approach. We will interview 15-25 patients living with HIV/AIDS and mental illness over 2-4 months in early 2023. They will be recruited from the psychiatric unit at Mbarara hospital. By interviewing mental health patients living with HIV, we can better understand how they view their illness, how local beliefs inform mental health care utilization, as well as their pathway to care and ultimately treatment outcomes.,To develop an intervention in which biomedical professionals collaborate with local traditional and faith healers to provide mental health services which will ultimately improve viral suppression, increase longevity, and reduce preventable morbidity and mortality.
