Accelerating Delivery of rheUmatic heart disease preventive iNterventions in Uganda (ADUNU)
REFNo: HS2470ES
Objective 1: Demonstrate the impact of ADUNU, using the RE-AIM framework to assess program Reach,
Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance. Objective 1 has five sub-objectives:
a) Reach – Use echocardiography to increase the proportion of individuals with RHD who are detected, including identification of sub-groups not reached (target: 50% Kitgum district] or 25% [Amuru district] detected).
b) Effectiveness – Achieve goals in (1) registry enrollment (target: 90% of those diagnosed by RHD testing), (2) retention (target: 90% of those enrolled), and (3) adherence (target: 90% of those retained).
c) Adoption – Assess the proportion of healthcare facilities and providers that adopt ADUNU and understand barriers and facilitators to adoption success.
d) Implementation – Assess the proportion of healthcare providers and facilities demonstrating high fidelity to the relevant ADUNU components and protocols in which they have been trained and reasons for suboptimal performance.
e) Maintenance – Understand the (1) proportion of facilities and providers continuing to implement ADUNU as designed, and (2) sustainment of retention and adherence levels among individuals enrolled in the registry at 24 months post-introduction
Objective 2: Estimate the cost-effectiveness and budget impact of ADUNU. This objective will build on the first objective and will use standard methods for economic evaluation of health programmes.
