The origins of empathy- Investigating empathy development in the first two years of life
REFNo: SS596ES
Empathy – the sharing and understanding others’ emotions and thoughts – is an essential part of what it means to be human. While empathy underpins our most meaningful social interactions, we lack knowledge about its developmental and evolutionary origins. Thus far, research on empathy development remains limited, something which may have led to inaccurate conclusions that infants lack the capacity for empathy before their second year.. Although the view that infants lack empathy has recently been challenged, current research remains constrained by a lack of research attention as well as suitable methodologies to study early empathy. A key goal of this project is to address these limitations by conducting the first major study of empathy development across the first 2 years of life. By combining observations with novel experimental techniques our goal is study how the cognitive and affective components of empathy emerge.
Another objective is to investigate the impact that the social and cultural environment have on infant socio-emotional development. Research indicates that caregiving and the socio-cultural environment shape infant development, however, there is little research looking into how these factors shape empathy development. In addition, most developmental research so far has been conducted on infants from Western societies, also denoted as WEIRD (Western Educated Industrialised Rich Democratic) whilst ignoring cross-cultural variability. By focusing on a subset of Western societies, current developmental research is thus not representative of global diversity; ignoring insights from cross-cultural variation may lead to inaccurate interpretations.
In order to address this and understand how the socio-cultural environment shapes empathy development, it is essential to study how empathy develops in a more diverse cross-cultural sample. Through doing so, we can also address which aspects of empathy may be learned or socially-mediated, and which might reflect human universals. The current project aims to address this by studying the development of empathy and the influence of the socio-cultural environment. The capacity for empathy has far reaching consequences for how we function as a species and interact with others. A lack of capacity to care about others (empathy) can have many negative consequences for individuals and our societies, including reduced wellbeing, quality of social relationships, crime and mental health. Given the importance of empathy for our social and societal functioning, it is essential to know where empathy comes from and how it is shaped by social and cultural experiences.
This project represents a continuation and extension of the research activities of a current and approved research project, led by Professor Katie Slocombe, running on infant development in the Masindi district of Uganda. This project was approved by UNCST and UVRI (UVRI-045/2017). Our current project uses very similar methods and is planned to be conducted with the same local research assistants and communities who have participated in this research.

PILOT OF A NETWORK-DRIVEN, ADVOCACY INTERVENTION TO PROMOTE CERVICAL CANCER SCREENING IN UGANDA
REFNo: HS943ES
The proposed intervention development study seeks to improve cervical cancer screening in Uganda by engaging and training local public health researchers and program implementers, and empowering women living with cervical cancer risk (WLCCR), defined as women who have ever received treatment for pre-cancerous or cancerous lesions, to advocate for CC screening and early treatment among women in their social networks. Specifically, the study will aim to:
1. Assess the feasibility and acceptability of implementing a cervical cancer screening advocacy intervention with WLCCR, who will be trained to be advocates for CC screening and treatment behaviors in their social networks.
2. Assess preliminary intervention effects on the CC screening (primary outcome) and treatment behaviors of women in contact with the WLCCR advocates and diffusion of anti-stigma messages across social networks.
3. Explore characteristics of women who more effectively engage in screening advocacy (in terms of socio-demographics, network characteristics, and type of social network members receiving advocacy).
4. Increase capacity among local researchers and program implementers to conduct public health research on cervical cancer control and use social network-based intervention and measurement methods.
The intervention will be implemented in three phases, and for each phase, we will seek ethical clearance and approval prior to data collection. At the moment, we are seeking ethical clearance for the first phase where we intend to conduct focus group discussions to obtain women's perceptions and suggestions about the intervention to inform the development of the intervention.

General Objective:
To explore the readiness malaria and HIV as potential demonstrator conditions for an EHR data capturing and processing system infrastructure and analytical methods that could support Uganda’s Ministry of Health and related health institutions to provide responsive care and interventions based on real-time surveillance.
Specific Objectives:
Objective 1: To (a) develop a complete understanding of the routine care data currently captured and all surrounding dynamics including timing of capture by whom and how and what the current state of onward use is and (b) determine how these will influence data capture with electronic point of care capture systems.
Objective 2: To determine what technical, ethical/governance and workforce infrastructure are required for a timely model data capture system that addresses medical, public health and research needs of stakeholders.
Objective 3: In order to determine readiness, we will (a) model the cost of each proposal/ model system and determine on-going cost and potential cost recovery, including the cost of all other components (i.e., Buy-in, Timeliness, Capability) and determine what would be required to eliminate key barriers; and (b) map our data to EHR data capture and processing readiness frameworks.
Objective 4: To provide examples of cost effectiveness by determining how much additional malaria and/or HIV control would be required to offset the cost of the system over various time periods.
