Pictures of ageing in Uganda: A pilot study to explore demography, healthy ageing phenotype and self-perception in a community of older people in Uganda
REFNo: SS246ES
Primary objective:
To determine the feasibility of combining demographic, phenotypic and artistic methods in understanding the picture of Ageing of community dwelling elderly individuals in Uganda.
Secondary objectives:
1) To assess the accuracy of age-reporting among older people (>60 years) living in a Wakiso District community and investigate how the accuracy of age-reporting is linked to health, capabilities, social status and residential circumstances.
2) To pilot test data collection tool for demographic assessment of older people in Uganda (culturally, linguistically, historically appropriate).
3) To pilot test data collection tools for phenotypic assessment of older people in Uganda (health status, frailty, cognition, capabilities, quality of life, co-morbidities including HIV, access to health and other services).
4) To assess feasibility and acceptability of undertaking cognitive testing using electronic tablets in older people living in a Wakiso District community.
5) To assess feasibility and acceptability of engaging older people through visual / performing arts activities.
6) To explore perceptions and attitudes to a community based participatory research in older people building on discussions/ interviews conducted in the context of 1-4 above.
7) To develop an exhibition of artwork by established artists and older people to express their perceptions of older age.

Social Support Systems and Community Resource Utilization for Children and Families Affected by HIV/AIDS in Uganda: A Stakeholder Perspectives Study.
REFNo: SS182ES
The overall aim of this research is to examine the social support systems and community resources available to orphaned children and families affected by HIV/AIDS in Southwestern Uganda. Specifically, utilizing a stakeholder perspective, the objectives of this research are: 1) To identify and examine the available social support systems and resources available to children and families affected by HIV; 2) To examine both family-level and community-level facilitators and barriers to access and utilization of community resources; and 3) To identify resource gaps and ways to improve social support systems for children and families affected by HIV. The long-term goal of this proposed research is to inform a developmental research grant application (R21), to test the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary impact of a social support intervention that can address HIV-related stigma and social isolation, and its impact on the overall social and health wellbeing of orphaned children and their caregivers.
