Testing the Feasibility and Acceptability of a Combination Intervention to Address Mental Health among Refugee Youth in Uganda
REFNo: SS2834ES
This proposed two-year study will be conducted in two phases. The first phase seeks to understand whether the COVID-19 pandemic had differential impact on refugee youth living in different settings. The second phase will test the feasibility and acceptability of an innovative combination intervention that has not been previously tested among refugee youth to address psychological problems that have increased since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Aim 1. To examine the mental health impact of COVID-19 on refugee youth living in Bidibidi refugee settlement compared to refugee youth living in urban centers (Arua town) in northern Uganda.
Aim 2. To test the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary short-term impact of an innovative intervention combining the youth readiness intervention (YRI) with youth development accounts and financial literacy training (YDA-FLT) to address the mental health impact of COVID-19 among refugee youth living in Bidibidi refugee settlement in northern Uganda.

SMAART-MAP trial
Severe Malaria A Research and Trials
consortium - Multisite Adaptive Platform
trial
REFNo: HS4547ES
OBJECTIVES
The objective of the SMAART-MAP trial is to identify promising adjunctive therapies to take forward into a large Phase III trial in severe malaria with a mortality endpoint. The adaptive platform design enables additional domains to be added so a range of adjunctive therapies can be tested, across multiple clinical presentations of severe malaria, in a timely manner.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE(S)
To explore within each domain the therapeutic efficacy of the intervention using an early indicator such as a biomarker or clinical assessment at 24-72 hours.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE(S)
To assess the impact of the interventions on clinical outcomes (readmission and
mortality) on all children 28 days and 90 days after randomization
To assess the impact of the interventions on Grade 3 or 4 adverse events, and adverse
events of any grade related to the interventions or comparators.
To assess the impact of proposed definitions for severe malaria based on platelet counts
≤150,000/µL and plasma pfHRP2 concentrations ≥800 ng/mL on differences between
randomized groups
In a sub study, to determine the performance characteristics of a POC pfHRP2 test
compared with quantitative plasma pfHRP2 concentrations determined from plasma.

DRC⇒Uganda⇒Belgium; Rwanda⇒Kenya⇒South Africa); (b) to investigate the evolution
of the memories, silences, and secrets that AGLR refugees carry in their trajectories of
migration.
2. Theoretically: to analyse (a) how space and time transform these life narratives on the move, and (b) how these transformed life narratives shape relationships within refugee communities and relationships with host communities in countries of transition and destination.
3. Epistemologically: (a) to develop a set of innovative interdisciplinary perspectives and
methodological approaches that can be used in researching the memory dynamics and mobility
that originate from Global South lived experiences; (b) to foster collaboration between a diverse multidisciplinary, international team of researchers involved in the TMSS project.
4. Policy: to explore how (a) our understanding of life narratives on the move can transform policy-making at local, regional, and international levels; and (b) how this understanding shapes practitioners’ work with refugees in countries of transition and destination.
