The regional dynamics of deforestation. Evidence from Kenya and Uganda
REFNo: SS1485ES

Given the pervasiveness of insecure land tenure institutions around the developing world, and the role of historical institutions in shaping preferences and behavior, it is important to understand how the design of PES programs may interact with historical land tenure structures. In this project, we design a willingness to accept experiment, and framed field experiment, across three regions of Uganda to answer the following questions:

1. What is the optimal design of an avoided deforestation PES program in Uganda?
2. How do land tenure institutions impact the design of an avoided PES program in Uganda?
3. How does the security of land tenure impact deforestation behavior and trust in Uganda?

 Suubi-Mhealth: A mobile health intervention to address depression and improve ART adherence among Youth living with HIV (YLHIV) in Uganda
REFNo: SS1442ES

The overall goal of this proposal is to develop a mobile health intervention (hereafter “Suubi-Mhealth”) for use among Ugandan youth with comorbid HIV and depression, taking into account their unique contextual, cultural, and developmental needs. This digital therapy intervention (mobile app) will apply user-centered design methodologies and will be based on the cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) tenets found to improve depression among individuals with HIV.

The study will be conducted in two phases (R21 and R33) as specified below

Phase 1. R21 Aim 1: Develop and iteratively refine an intervention protocol for Suubi-Mhealth based on formative work to understand the needs of depressed YLHIV, ages 14-17. We will conduct four focus groups, each with 6-8 depressed YLHIV and two focus groups with health care providers, recruited from clinics across the greater Masaka region of Uganda for feedback on proposed intervention content and methods to increase participation and retention.

R21 Aim 2: Based on the results of Aim #1, we will explore the feasibility and acceptability of Suubi- Mhealth for use with depressed YLHIV on a small scale (N= 30) to inform subsequent refinement for the larger phase of this project (R33 phase).

Phase 2. R33 Aim 1: Pilot test the preliminary impact of Suubi-Mhealth versus a waitlist control group (to receive the intervention after the active treatment condition), on reducing depression (primary outcome) and improving ART adherence, mental health functioning, quality of life, and lowering HIV stigma (secondary outcomes).

R33 Aim 2: Qualitatively examine barriers and facilitators for integrating Suubi-Mhealth into health care settings for depressed YLHIV.
