Challenges of Diabetes Management in Rural and Urban Areas of Uganda
REFNo: HS2358ES

Our central hypothesis is that diabetics in rural and semi-rural areas of Uganda may not be storing insulin at the appropriate temperatures due to absence of refrigeration facilities. This may impact the efficacy of this life-saving medication resulting in poor diabetes management and potential complications. We also hypothesize that diabetes patients face other challenges that constrain proper disease management such as lack of knowledge on diabetes management, risk factors and complications. Thus, the specific aims of this study are to determine: (a) how diabetic patients in Tororo district, Uganda, manage their diabetes; (b) how the patients store their insulin; (c) general patient knowledge of diabetes management best-practices and complications; (d) the sources of medical advice used by diabetes patients; and (e) the patient-reported challenges of diabetes management. Tororo District has been chosen because it is one of the marginalized areas of the country and hence the burden of the problem in Tororo will be representative of the situation in other less advantaged parts of the country. The findings of this study will be useful for in a number of ways (a) guiding future studies in these resource poor populations; (b) guiding diabetes management and control programs; (c) since practicing physicians will be involved in the study, the findings will be useful in informing their own clinical practice and understanding of how best to help their patients; (d) development of contextually appropriate educational interventions that may be adapted and implemented across not only Uganda but the other East African countries to counteract the emerging diabetes epidemic.

Gender-Based Violence in Refugee Sites in East Africa and Southeast Asia
REFNo: SS1330ES

This project is the exploratory, early-stage phase of a research agenda which seeks to better understand patterns of gender-based violence in refugee sites in the developing world. The study’s main question is: why does the prevalence and type of GBV vary across refugee site and within the same site over time? There are two main objectives of this early-stage research in answering this question. First, the project will add to the PI’s understanding of prevalence, types, and causes of gender-based violence on refugee sites in Kenya, Uganda, and Thailand. This builds upon previous volunteer work on refugee camps in Greece. The second objective is to build partnerships with local actors working on gender issues in refugee sites. This exploratory research will provide the PI with insights and partnerships that they will draw upon for future research, which is likely to involve more data collection in Uganda.
