DIGCBA: RESPONSIBLE USE OF DIGITAL CASH-BASED ASSISTANCE IN REFUGEE CRISES
REFNo: SS1086ES
Primary objective of the study
The primary objective of DigCBA is to support the responsible use of digital CBA. By providing evidence- based frameworks, policy makers will get support to appropriately understand contextual characteristics of the target community, and the technology readiness of involved actors to prioritize the order of technologies for digital CBA.Thus, policy makers make informed decisions about the use of digital technologies to deliver cash-based assistance (CBA) to refugees. Evidence will be obtained in two stages. The first stage will involve thorough a review of the reports published on the use of digital cash-based assistance technologies in refugee camps in Uganda. The second step will involve conducting interviews with the refugees who use the digital cash-based assistance technologies, organisations involved in humanitarian assistance provision and vendors/suppliers of the digital cash-based assistance technologies.
Secondary objectives of the study
The secondary objective of the study include:
i. Contributing to the responsible use of digital CBA by providing evidence-based means to prioritize technologies based on characteristics of refugee crises context and technology readiness of main actors.
ii. Providing scientifically derived digital CBA feasibility and readiness knowledge that is theoretically informed and empirically grounded.
iii. Contributing to a shared understanding of the impact of technology in digital CBA raising donors, beneficiaries and public awareness and debate of shortcomings.
iv. Outlining areas for further research on responsible use of digital CBA in contexts other than refugee crises focusing on the safety, dignity and preferences of beneficiaries.
v. Capacity building through collaborations between academia and actors in CBA. Build an effective, active and durable community.

Reducing Sickle Cell Burden in Kalangala, Uganda: A Student Research and Training Program
REFNo: HS2312ES
Aim 4: To develop educational activities for adolescent sickle cell patients (non-research) We aim to develop non-research, educational activities specifically designed for adolescent sickle cell patients who attend the monthly sickle cell clinic at Kalangala Health Center. Activities will include a “kids camp” that will train older children to share their experiences managing their sickle cell disease with younger clinic patients. Also, we will establish a “MDD Troupe”, or “Music Dance and Drama Troupe” to spread awareness about sickle cell in community settings such as schools and youth clubs. These activities are not part of the testing initiative, nor are they generalizable research. However, these activities will be conducted by Duke undergraduate students in collaboration with Ugandan students from Kalangala - this is part of the “student research training program the “twins” or matches Ugandan and US-Based students on collaborative teams.,Aim 3: Conduct a retrospective chart review of all SCD patients at KHCIV since 2015 Conduct a retrospective chart review of all sickle cell patients appearing in various KHCIV paper-based databases (Ministry of Health Outpatient Register 002, registries, laboratory forms, death records, etc) since the opening of the KHCIV sickle cell clinic in 2015. Build a standardized form to record data such as medical history, demographics, clinical data, pain episodes, routine and acute clinic visits, etc.,Aim 2: To increase community knowledge and understanding about SCD and the importance of diagnostic testing for Kalangala. We aim to increase community knowledge about SCD through a community educational component that will complement the testing initiative. Study participants will go through an education module prior to testing that will describe SCD, symptom management and treatment options, the importance of testing, and SCD-related stigma. Study participants will also be briefed on their options for counseling post SCD testing, in the event of a positive diagnosis. ,Aim 1: To improve access to sickle cell RDTs and establish a standard RDT for Kalangala, Uganda. We aim to improve access to screening and confirmatory sickle cell RDTs and establish a standard RDT that best fits the health infrastructure in Uganda, specifically Kalangala Health Center IV, which is the government referral health center for Kalangala District. Another goal is to increase the capacity of local health centers to diagnose patients efficiently, informing more of the population of their status and treatment options, and lowering SCD disease burden in the area over time.,The main objective of this study is to reduce the burden of sickle cell disease in Kalangala, Uganda through rapid testing, education, and retrospective patient chart review. This pilot study aims to identify methods and tools to mitigate the burden of SCD, increase community awareness of SCD diagnosis status, improve knowledge and understanding of SCD within the Kalangala community, and better understand retrospective trends in health indicators of sickle cell patients in Kalangala, Uganda. ,
