Evaluation of two strategies part of the Differentiated Services Delivery Models (DSDM) in Fishermen’s landing sites at Lakes George and Edward, Western Uganda.
REFNo: HS1574ES

The main objective of the study is to describe acceptability and outcomes (VL suppression and
retention) relevance of MSF Landing site activities for the target populations to reorient
activities and document best practices.
The specific objectives are:
- To measure the proportion of eligible patients who enrol in CCLADs and FTR
- To compare characteristics of patients choosing CCLAD with those choosing FTR
- To measure the retention in care in CCLADS and in FTR at 6 and 12 months
- To measure the viral suppression for patients enrolled in CCLADS and in FTR for at least 1 year
- To describe acceptability and relevance of DSDM, peer zonal leaders, peers at the health facilities, VIP clinic days, OJT/CMEs for health workers and the information points.

SchistoTrack: Determinants of schistosomiasis infection and morbidity as part of the Oxford-Uganda Collaboration on Schistosomiasis
REFNo: HS1664ES

Determine whether infection indicators are informative for measuring morbidity risks
associated with schistosomiasis;
2. Prioritize the most common morbidities associated with schistosomiasis, by age, that
require treatment and further research;
3. Understand the relative importance of environmental factors versus current infections for
schistosomiasis- associated morbidities.
4. Assess the feasibility of large-scale tracking of individuals with wearable GPS;
5. Determine whether spatial indicators from wearable devices can better predict individual
infection risk when compared to conventional approaches such as household surveys;
and
6. Develop methods to classify water contact sites based on individual usage and
contamination to understand whether there are focal points for transmission or super
spreaders.
