 A Family centred approach to enhance lifestyle change and behavioural modification for prevention of cardiovascular diseases among adolescents and their families in Uganda (FaCe-D) study
REFNo: HS3682ES

Main Objective
1. 1. We aim to explore the knowledge on cardiovascular health including CVD risk, perceptions and attitudes of participants, providers and other stakeholders towards the ihealth-T2D family-centered approach (FCA) as an intervention, obtain their input in the modification and design of the intervention to make it appropriate for Ugandan context
Specific Objectives
1. To explore the knowledge on cardiovascular health, perceptions, preferences and recommendations from potential participants on the proposed family-centered approach as an intervention for reducing and controlling common CVD risk factors among adolescents and their families.
2. To identify potential facilitators and barriers to adapting and implementing the FCA intervention in Uganda.
3. To use the data generated to design implementation strategies to promote the delivery, and uptake of the adapted FCA

 DEVELOPMENT OF GEOSPATIO-TEMPORAL SURVEILLANCE AND CHARACTERISATION OF MALARIA IN THE CHANGING CLIMATIC CONDITIONS IN EASTERN UGANDA STUDY (GTS-MACS)
REFNo: HS3725ES

To determine the day three-parasite clearance rates of AL in children treated for malaria in Eastern and Northeastern Uganda. ,To determine whether there are any antimalarial drug resistance markers in Eastern and Northeastern Uganda. ,To describe geospatial-temporal patterns, determinants, and distribution of malaria with temperature, rainfall, and humidity patterns. ,Through geospatial-temporal surveillance, molecular studies and malaria parasite clearance rates, we shall characterise the overall epidemiology of malaria, any emergence of drug resistance and tolerance to the current antimalarials, respectively, in the era of changing climatic conditions in Eastern and Northeastern Uganda.,
