Pictures of ageing in Uganda: A pilot study to explore demography, healthy ageing phenotype and self-perception in a community of older people in Uganda
REFNo: SS246ES
Primary objective:
To determine the feasibility of combining demographic, phenotypic and artistic methods in understanding the picture of Ageing of community dwelling elderly individuals in Uganda.
Secondary objectives:
1) To assess the accuracy of age-reporting among older people (>60 years) living in a Wakiso District community and investigate how the accuracy of age-reporting is linked to health, capabilities, social status and residential circumstances.
2) To pilot test data collection tool for demographic assessment of older people in Uganda (culturally, linguistically, historically appropriate).
3) To pilot test data collection tools for phenotypic assessment of older people in Uganda (health status, frailty, cognition, capabilities, quality of life, co-morbidities including HIV, access to health and other services).
4) To assess feasibility and acceptability of undertaking cognitive testing using electronic tablets in older people living in a Wakiso District community.
5) To assess feasibility and acceptability of engaging older people through visual / performing arts activities.

Social Support Systems and Community Resource Utilization for Children and Families Affected by HIV/AIDS in Uganda: A Stakeholder Perspectives Study.
REFNo: SS182ES
The overall aim of this research is to examine the social support systems and community resources available to orphaned children and families affected by HIV/AIDS in Southwestern Uganda. Specifically, utilizing a stakeholder perspective, the objectives of this research are: 1) To identify and examine the available social support systems and resources available to children and families affected by HIV; 2) To examine both family-level and community-level facilitators and barriers to access and utilization of community resources; and 3) To identify resource gaps and ways to improve social support systems for children and families affected by HIV. The long-term goal of this proposed research is to inform a developmental research grant application (R21), to test the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary impact of a social support intervention that can address HIV-related stigma and social isolation, and its impact on the overall social and health wellbeing of orphaned children and their caregivers.

Human Generosity Among the Ik
REFNo: SS201ES
Based on two empirical studies, conducted in WEIRD (Western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic) populations in the USA and in the Netherlands, we hypothesize that perceived fitness interdependence (PFI) is the primary psychological motivator of altruistic or generous actions in human cooperation and that PFI varies according to both the situational and relational contexts of human interactions. This existing empirical evidence needs corroboration in diverse cultural and ecological conditions in order to support the universal value of the hypothesis. The current study will serve as a pilot to determine whether the PFI scales that we have developed would be adaptable to non-WEIRD populations.

A Stakeholder analysis of chronic Lung Disease (CLD) management in Uganda
REFNo: HS232ES
Objectives of the research project:
Overall Aim
The overall goal of the project which this study aims to inform, is to improve the management of CLD in Uganda. This study seeks to analyze the current CLD policy in Uganda, identify gaps in the policy formulation that may translate to gaps in policy implementation. The aim is to generate evidence that can be used to develop targeted, informed interventions to strengthen CLD programmatic management in this setting. Specifically, the study proposes to achieve this through:
1. Stakeholder analysis and mapping to characterize the actors and networks, their linkages and relative influence and how this affects CLD policy in Uganda.
2. An exploration of the policies for the management and implementation of policies to address CLD in the public health system in Uganda.
Stakeholders in this study will be limited to at least one representative from; the Uganda ministry of health; from academia; funders and MOH implementing partners and from civil society to help understand and describe the policy context and to clinical heads from Kampala city based health facilities as representatives to help describe and understand the clinical context.
