Gauging Agricultural Land-Use Decisions and Boundaries in Refugee Settlements in Uganda
REFNo: SS4159ES
This project seeks to 1) collect information on factors that influence agricultural land use decisions in refugee settlements in Uganda, and 2) estimate the boundary (the outermost extent) of agricultural lands accessed or managed by refugees. The first objective provides information on factors associated with cropland dynamics in refugee settlement. The second objective allows us to associate satellite-mapped cropland dynamics to specific refugee settlements.
This project follows the UNCST-approved research project, "Multi-sensor Mapping of Refugee Agricultural Land-Cover/Land-Use Change Hotspots in Uganda" (RefNo: A414ES), which sought to collect information on crop type and condition at refugee settlements for further satellite image analysis.

REFNo: SS4200ES
1.3 Aim and objectives of the study
This study aims to co-create, implement, and evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a Wellness4Students supportive email/WhatsApp messaging program to mitigate symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression and to promote well-being among university students in Uganda.
Specific Aims
Aim 1: To co-create and adapt the Wellness4Students intervention for SAD and mental well-being for university students in Uganda. We will co-create the Wellness4Students (W4S) program and then adapt it for students at Makerere University [27, 28, 36].
Aim 2: To determine the prevalence of stress, anxiety, and depression among university students in Uganda. We will use a self-administered online baseline survey to measure these outcomes. The primary outcomes will be Stress, Anxiety, and Depression (SAD) and well-being. This will be measured using the Psychological Stress Scale (PSS-10), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7), the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), and the WHO Wellbeing Scale [14, 37-40]. We will estimate the prevalence of each of these outcomes separately. to assess the impact of the program on stress, anxiety and depression?
Aim 3:. To assess the feasibility and acceptability of the Wellness4Students intervention for addressing stress, anxiety, and depression among university students in Uganda, as well as to evaluate its impact.
We will assess the daily consistency in program participation (i.e. ability to read daily messages), completion rates (Lost to follow-up), the improvement in mean scores of Stress, Anxiety, and Depression at 3 months, and 6 months [14, 27, 37-40]. End-line survey perceptions and feedback about the program at 6 months will be evaluated. At the end of the intervention and follow up survey, we will conduct a satisfaction survey, as indicated in the last section of the survey questionnaire.
Aim 4: To investigate the association between demographic factors and Stress, Anxiety, and Depression among University students in Uganda.
