Health-related quality of life and environmental distress among climate-displaced communities in Uganda
REFNo: HS7560ES
4.1. General Objective
The general objective of this study is to characterize, summarize, and explore the connection between CRD and the current health-related QoL and environmental distress circumstances of CRMs in Uganda, focusing on both the national level and within a single IDP camp.
4.2. Specific Objectives
We propose two specific objectives that run in parallel to one another.
Objective 1: Characterize key stakeholders’ understanding of the causes and health-related consequences of CRD in Uganda. This objective will investigate stakeholders’ understanding of CRM circumstances in Uganda, particularly the types of climate factors contributing to displacement, the challenges faced by this population, and potential strategies for improving their health, using key informant interviews.
Objective 2: Explore how climate-related displacement experiences, aspects of vulnerability, and resilience contribute to quality of life and environmental distress (e.g., solastalgia and loss of place) throughout migration journeys of climate-related migrants in the Muhokya IDP Camp in Kasese District. Guided by an emerging method that blends geospatial mapping and narrative analysis,20 we will qualitatively explore the displacement, QoL, and distress experiences of CRMs.

Enhancing childhood cancer outcomes in southwestern Uganda: Addressing diagnostic and treatment delays, and describing a patient cohort at the Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital
REFNo: HS7579ES
The overarching objective is to improve timely diagnosis and treatment, and outcomes for childhood cancer patients in southwestern Uganda by characterizing childhood cancer patients seen at the Paediatric Cancer unit (PCU) in MRRH, assessing the diagnostic pathways and delays, capturing experiences of caretakers and key stakeholders, and developing a context-specific referral algorithm supported by quality paediatric cancer data.
The specific objectives include:
1. To characterize the cohort of childhood cancer patients presenting to the PCU (including sociodemographic, symptom progression, clinical presentation at PCU, cancer types, diagnostics, treatments, and outcomes) using a validated database.
2. To describe the patient journey and delays at each stage of the three delays model (detailed in the figure 1) with a focus on:
a. Quantifying the average time intervals (delays) from symptom onset to confirmed diagnosis and treatment initiation of common childhood cancers, and to describe the implications of these delays on the outcomes of the patient cohort.
b. Describing the healthcare pathways and determining factors associated with duration of delays for common childhood cancers.
c. Exploring the lived experiences of caretakers of children diagnosed with cancer, from initial symptom recognition to diagnosis and treatment initiation.
d. Exploring the perceptions of key stakeholders (including healthcare providers at all levels of the healthcare system and key community informants) on childhood cancer and on its diagnosis and treatment initiation delays.
3. To collaboratively develop and refine context-specific referral decision algorithms for childhood cancers to improve early identification and referral efficiency.
