SAY NO TO STIGMAâ€: Making Mental Health Visible Among School-Going Children in Rural Uganda
REFNo: SS637ES
The objective of this proposed study is to develop a set of new age-appropriate, culturally relevant signage and messaging around mental health and stigma for this study. The visual solutions will be developed through a set of extensive hands-on creative workshops and focus groups with children as well as school administrators and teachers working in one primary school in the Masaka region of Uganda. After visual and message development, the visuals will be presented to a different group of students within the school to gather feedback on their effectiveness and clarity in portraying mental health and stigma.

Incentivizing Action to Reduce Air Pollution and Susceptibility to COVID-19
REFNo: SS667ES
The main objective is to investigate a number of practical and scalable strategies to reduce waste burning through voluntary behavioral change and thereby reduce the exposure of residents to harmful air pollution.
The specific objectives are (a) to investigate whether the provision of information about the link between air pollution and the chances of contracting and dying from COVID-19 can spur action to stop waste burning, (b) to test the efficacy of a novel design where social competition that is not imposed top-down but is organized horizontally can help leaders to organize communities for positive action towards reducing waste burning.

Impact of Masks on Community Spread of COVID-19: Evidence from
Uganda
REFNo: HS1124ES
2.1 General Objective
The aim of this study is to provide policy makers with the first population-based estimate of the extent to which face coverings reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2. We also intend to provide evidence to the Ministry of Health in Uganda (and public health officials more generally) with evidence about effective communication and education tools for increasing the proper use of masks in the general population.
2.2 Specific Aims
The specific objectives of our study are as follows:
Aim 1: To test whether free mask distribution increases the proper use of masks in intervention communities
Aim 2: To test whether combining free mask distribution with education and communication about masks and COVID-19 increases the proper use of masks in intervention communities Aim 3: To evaluate whether increased mask use affects seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2
Aim 4: To evaluate potential spillovers, or whether higher mask use in intervention communities affect mask use and probability of infection in neighboring non-intervention communities

REFNo: HS1125ES
To establish COVID-19 syndromic surveillance through existing Uganda Malaria Surveillance sites by collecting additional data on COVID-19 specific symptoms.

One Nutrition in Complex Environments (ONCE), a cluster-randomized trial of nutrition education and access to simple supportive technologies in improving agricultural practices and water quality management
REFNo: HS492ES
Aim 1: Implement and test a social and behavior change (NIPP) program alone (free-standing) and in combination with a “value-added†approach (NIPP+). The latter includes access to innovative low-cost tools and technologies relating to WASH and agriculture.
Aim 2: Identify best-practices emerging from the implementation of both approaches through process and program monitoring for effective integration, implementation, scale-up, and uptake of multi-sectoral and multi-level packages in complex environments to ascertain potential for scale up.
Aim 3: Study the sustained impact of the NIPP approach and the “value added†package (NIPP+) on knowledge and practices by gender within participating households, environmental risk factors, child health and nutritional status through a rigorous impact evaluation and longitudinal monitoring system.
