Evaluating the Impact of Early Initiation of Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) on Patient Outcomes Among HIV-Infected Adolescents and Young Adults in Uganda
REFNo: HS218ES
BROAD AIM: The broad aim of this study is to assess the impact of early initiation of ART on patient outcomes, over time, among adolescents and young adults (AYA), 15 - 24 years of age, living with HIV, in high-volume health facilities in Uganda before and after the implementation of the 2013 WHO ART treatment guidelines.
SPECIFIC AIMS:
Aim 1: To assess the effect of early ART on adherence to medication among AYA 15 - 24 years, before and after the implementation of the 2013 WHO ART treatment guidelines.
Aim 2: To assess the effect of early ART on the rate of Opportunistic Infections (OI) episodes among AYA 15 - 24 years, before and after the implementation of the 2013 WHO ART treatment guidelines.
Aim 3: To compare survival and predictors of survival among AYA 15 - 24 years, before and after the implementation of the 2013 WHO ART treatment guidelines.

"Women’s Talkâ€
REFNo: SS173ES
The main objective of this research project is to understand the camps’ context response to Gender-Based Violence (GBV). The focus will be on what the refugee considers to be the best practices already implemented and what can be improved. Also, Uganda does have a National GBV Database (NGBVD) which makes the country a pioneer in addressing and making visible GBV, thus, this research would like to learn from the Uganda good practices and policies.

Skeletal life history research of Bwindi mountain gorillas
REFNo: NS42ES
Major Objectives for this project: Focusing on naturally accumulated skeletons from Bwindi mountain gorillas recovered in partnership with UWA, Institute of Tropical Forest Conservation (ITFC), and Max Planck Institute, our major objective is to generate new data on the morphology, developmental life history and health of wild mountain gorillas and understand how these aspects of their biology are influenced by ecology and behavior.
Specific Aims:
(1) Collect primary data on the skeletal and dental morphology of Bwindi gorillas, to: (a) with an initial focus on understanding skeletal correlates of behavior, such as diet; (b) document skeletal changes associated with aging and pathology in Bwindi gorillas; and (c) pursue comparative studies to characterize variation in these features between Bwindi and Virunga gorillas.
(2) Initiate the first micro-anatomical studies of dental and bone development in Bwindi gorillas, to: (a) test hypothesized relationships between socioecology, development and life history in Bwindi gorillas, and as compared to Virunga gorillas; (b) investigate relationships between individual life history factors, health (where documented), and developmental defects in teeth and bones; and (c) investigate relationships between tooth and bone development and a key behavioral transition during development, weaning, as studied through fecal and plant food sampling.
(3) Work with Ugandan staff of UWA and ITFC to build expertise in osteology, and local capacity for the long-term preservation and use of mountain gorilla skeletons as a scientific and educational resource in Uganda.

COMPARING THE WORKLOAD AND KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND ATTRIBUTES OF COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS IN UGANDA
REFNo: HS207ES
The aim of this research is to determine how CHWs employed by Living Goods in Uganda spend their time and to identify the KSAs they use when undertaking CHW-related tasks/activities; comparing findings between CHWs identified as being “excellent†performers and other CHWs (whom will be “average†performers).
The specific objectives are:
• To examine the activities undertaken by CHWs during a typical “CHW dayâ€.
• To identify the KSAs demonstrated by CHWs as they undertake different activities.
• To compare time use and KSAs between two groups of CHWs: those identified by programme managers as excellent performers and a random sample of all other CHWs.
• To use the results of this comparison to identify the KSAs that distinguish excellent from average CHWs.
• To qualitatively consider the content validity of the current selection process/tools used by Living Goods to determine whether they would help to identify those most likely to be excellent CHWs.
