REFNo: HS1112ES
Primary objective:
To assess the efficacy of preventive therapy with a 12-week course of rifapentine and isoniazid (3HP) against the development of probable or definite TB disease over 24 months in people with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) who are latent TB infection (LTBI) test positive.
Secondary objectives:
• To assess the efficacy of 3HP against the development of possible, probable or definite TB disease over 24-40 months in people with DM who are latent tuberculosis infection test positive
• To compare the proportions who complete treatment between arms
• To compare the occurrence of adverse events between arms
• To compare the rate of TB or death between arms
• To compare the overall mortality rate between arms
• To explore the efficacy of 3HP against development of probable or definite TB in those who are LTBI test positive, across the following sub-groups, separately: study site (n=3); age groups; duration of DM; level of glycaemic control (baseline HbA1C) and body mass index (BMI).
• To assess the efficacy of 3HP against development of probable or definite TB, in two restricted analyses: TST positive and IGRA positive participants.
• To carry out sub-studies including i) an economic modelling and cost effectiveness study, ii) a cohort study of those who are IGRA and TST negative a baseline, iii) a cross-sectional study of HIV and TB prevalence and DM phenotype, (iv) evaluation of point-of care (POC) testing for LTBI, and computer-assisted X-ray, (v) a public health study of patient management, and v) future genetic studies.

A Survey of Language Choice and Code Switching in Psychiatric and Neurological Practice
REFNo: HS1432ES
In this study we aim to explore three situations in which language choice can enhance multilingual patients’ cognitive reserve and psychological resilience. Research in psycho- and sociolinguistics suggests that languages can be used to regulate emotional and social distance. For example, one language can be associated with authority and formality, and other with compassion and solidarity (Myers-Scotton, 1995). This study aims to investigate whether such differential use of languages is also used in medicine and psychotherapy and can be applied to regulate inner emotions. This leads us to our research question: Can multilingualism benefit psychiatric and neurological patients through a mechanism of emotional distance regulation.
We will address language choice and code switching in the context of trauma and psychosis in psychotherapy as well as in the process of neurodegeneration in neurological patients. We aim to address the question of the importance of language choice in illness from all three perspectives of the biopsychosocial model, since each of the above-mentioned groups has one component of the biopsychosocial model in the foreground, meaning that in neurological patients the predominant component is biology, psychosis patients are strongly influenced by psychological factor and in trauma patients the experiences are strongly embedded in social factors.

• Does participation in COFE + SILC groups increase the likelihood that caregivers pay for required education expenses of all the school-age children under the caregivers’ care to stay in school vs. participation in SILC only groups?
Secondary research questions include:
• Does participation in COFE + SILC increase the likelihood that caregivers pay for health-related expenses of all the children under the caregivers’ care (who have a health need) vs. participation in SILC alone?
• Does participation in COFE + SILC increase caregivers’ financial self-efficacy vs. participation in SILC alone?
