REFNo: HS1362ES
Primary Objectives
a)To pilot newborn screening for SCD within the clinical networks of Jinja and Lira regional referral hospital in Uganda.
b)To register patient data and medical history of babies diagnosed with SCD within the first three months of life in a shared database.
c)To initiate antibacterial and antimalarial prophylaxis among the identified SCD infants within the first three months of life.
d)To ensure that the identified SCD infants are each immunized against pneumococcus and Haemophilus influenzae type b.
e)To monitor each patient at required intervals (every three months until age two years; every four to six months from age three to five years) and update patient record in registry after each visit.
f)To estimate the incidence of SCD among infants and children identified in Jinja and Lira regional referral hospitals and identify the specific hemoglobin genotypes.

Menstrual health interventions, schooling and mental health symptoms among Ugandan students (MENISCUS): a school-based cluster-randomised trial.
REFNo: HS1525ES
1. To evaluate whether the MENISCUS intervention improves educational attainment and reduces mental health symptoms (primary outcomes) among Secondary girls in Uganda.
2. To evaluate whether the MENISCUS intervention improves: i) knowledge of puberty and menstruation; attitudes towards menstruation (girls and boys); ii) menstrual practices at last menstrual period (LMP); iii) knowledge and practice of pain management during LMP; iv) self-efficacy in addressing menstrual needs experiences at LMP; v) quality of life and happiness; vi) school and class absence during menses (nested cohort); vii) school and class absence overall (nested cohort); viii) prevalence of urogenital infections (bacterial vaginosis, vaginal yeast and urinary tract infections)
3. To evaluate the costs of setting up and running the intervention package, the unit cost per female student reached, and the incremental cost-effectiveness of the intervention per unit increase in selected policy-relevant outcomes, relative to optimised usual care
4. To assess whether the intervention was implemented with fidelity, and to understand the contextual factors affecting implementation, the acceptability to participants, and the intervention mechanisms. We will achieve this through a process evaluation including quantitative indicators and qualitative data collected from in-depth interviews and focus group discussions.
5. To assess the policy environment around menstrual health in Uganda, focusing on how implementing the intervention contributes to, and aligns with, the attainment of the Government policy objectives on menstruation management in schools. We will assess the policy/regulatory frameworks to which the outcomes of the intervention contribute, identify the supportive and constraining factors to the implementation of the policy guidelines and how the findings of the intervention inform refinement of current policy.
