The Ethics of Preparedness in Humanitarian Disaster
REFNo: SS395ES
The objectives of the project, organized per research question, are as follows:
Research question 1: How are journalists, and academics working in or adjacent to war zones trained for these conditions?
Objective: To generate knowledge about conflict-adjacent professionals’ background and training.
Research question 2: How do practitioners across professions cope with emergent ethical challenges in the everyday course of their work?
Objectives: First, identify and better understand the common, everyday issues that conflict-adjacent professionals face in the line of their work. Second, to understand the way that conflict-adjacent professionals make decisions in the face of everyday challenges. Third, to gain those professionals’ own reflections on their approaches to resolving those problems.
Research question 3: Do professionals’ protocols and practices evolve in the field, and if so, how?
Objective: To identify and better understand whether and how professionals’ protocols and practices evolve in the field in response to the challenges they face.
This project will produce both academic and policy/practice outputs.

Improving Glycaemic Control for Children and Young People with Type 1 Diabetes in Uganda: Towards a Feasible and Acceptable Self-Care Programme
REFNo: HS519ES
Aims of the Study
The aims of the study are to investigate factors associated with poor glycaemic control of children and young people with T1D attending the CDiC Clinics in Uganda; and to develop and evaluate an individually tailored, age-appropriate management intervention to support decision-making and self-care with a specific focus on insulin management and blood glucose monitoring with available resources. It is an implementation research.
Objectives
This is an implementation research employing a mixed methods research design. In-depth interviews will be conducted alongside unmet needs in managing the diabetes and an assessment of healthcare preferences. Because people often have diverse preferences for healthcare interventions, and preferences tend to change through the course of an illness, we shall also examine whether these preferences are characterized by heterogeneity, and if so, the extent to which this heterogeneity could be explained by relevant characteristics of people with T1D. The study will therefore have the following specific objectives:
1. To determine the prevalence of poor glycaemic control among children and young people with T1D attending CDiC clinics in Uganda.
2. To assess patient factors associated with poor glycaemic control in children and young people with T1D attending CDiC clinics in Uganda.
3. To assess family factors associated with poor glycaemic control in children and young people with T1D attending CDiC clinics in Uganda.
4. To assess health system factors associated with poor glycaemic control among children and young people with T1DM attending CDiC clinics in Uganda.
5. To assess social factors associated with poor glycaemic control in children and young people with T1D attending CDiC clinics in Uganda.
6. To determine the un-met needs in the children and young people with T1D attending the CDiC clinics in Uganda.
7. To assess diabetes care preferences in children and young people with T1D attending the CDiC Clinics in Uganda.
8. To examine whether the diabetes care preferences among T1D are characterized by heterogeneity, and if so the extent to which the heterogeneity could be explained by relevant characteristics of people with T1D or their care givers.
9 To develop a feasible and acceptable self-management intervention.
10. To assess the impact of the individually tailored age-appropriate management intervention T1D treatment on the glycaemic control (HbA1c), in children and young people with T1D attending the CDiC Clinics in Uganda.
11. To determine the frequency of hypoglycaemic episodes with the new self-management program.
12. To assess the effect of the new self-management program on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of children and young people with T1D.
