Assessing the Feasibility of Economic Approaches to Prevention of Substance Abuse among Adolescents
REFNo: HS2683ES

Aim 1. Examine the prevalence and consequences of ADU in a cohort of 200 AYLHIV (ages 18-24) seen at six (6) HIV clinics in southwestern Uganda.
Aim 2. Using a mixed methods approach, identify the multi-level (individual, interpersonal, community and structural) factors associated with ADU among AYLHIV.
Aim 3. Using a subset of the sample, explore the feasibility and short-term effects of a family-based economic empowerment intervention on ADU among AYLHIV.

 Landscape Assessment To Understand Maternal Vaccine Pharmacovigilance In Uganda
REFNo: HS2680ES

Main objective
The aim is to conduct a rapid assessment gap analysis and stakeholder mapping for safety monitoring of vaccines used in pregnancy and potential for use of Electronic Medical Record (EMR) for sentinel site surveillance in Uganda for post licensure studies as well as current tetanus and COVID-19 vaccination. The results of the assessment will inform areas of focus for establishment of robust safety surveillance of novel maternal vaccination and vaccines that maybe administered during pregnancy in pandemic situations in the country.
Specific objectives
1. Map stakeholders involved in regulation, policy setting, collection and reporting of adverse events following maternal vaccination and their linkages
2. Understand the existing methods, tools, and information flow for collecting and flow of adverse event following maternal vaccination
3. Mapping of current Electronic Health Record and registries roll-out and how they interface with national drug safety reporting system especially in relation to maternal vaccination
4. To understand the Community views, and perceptions on vaccination and reporting of AE during maternal immunization
