A Survey of Language Choice and Code Switching in Psychiatric and Neurological Practice
REFNo: HS1432ES
In this study we aim to explore three situations in which language choice can enhance multilingual patients’ cognitive reserve and psychological resilience. Research in psycho- and sociolinguistics suggests that languages can be used to regulate emotional and social distance. For example, one language can be associated with authority and formality, and other with compassion and solidarity (Myers-Scotton, 1995). This study aims to investigate whether such differential use of languages is also used in medicine and psychotherapy and can be applied to regulate inner emotions. This leads us to our research question: Can multilingualism benefit psychiatric and neurological patients through a mechanism of emotional distance regulation.
We will address language choice and code switching in the context of trauma and psychosis in psychotherapy as well as in the process of neurodegeneration in neurological patients. We aim to address the question of the importance of language choice in illness from all three perspectives of the biopsychosocial model, since each of the above-mentioned groups has one component of the biopsychosocial model in the foreground, meaning that in neurological patients the predominant component is biology, psychosis patients are strongly influenced by psychological factor and in trauma patients the experiences are strongly embedded in social factors.

The Impact of Child-Optimized Financial Education (COFE) Curriculum in Uganda
REFNo: SS817ES
The main study objectives are to answer the following specific research questions/objectives. Outcomes/measures are underlined below.
Primary research question:
• Does participation in COFE + SILC groups increase the likelihood that caregivers pay for required education expenses of all the school-age children under the caregivers’ care to stay in school vs. participation in SILC only groups?
Secondary research questions include:
• Does participation in COFE + SILC increase the likelihood that caregivers pay for health-related expenses of all the children under the caregivers’ care (who have a health need) vs. participation in SILC alone?
• Does participation in COFE + SILC increase caregivers’ financial self-efficacy vs. participation in SILC alone?

Active Case Detection and Decentralized Dynamic Registry to Improve the Uptake of Rheumatic Heart Disease Secondary Prevention (ADD-RHD)
REFNo: HS1323ES
Primary Objective:
To develop and refine a technology-enabled approach to increase uptake of secondary prevention (ADD-RHD) that is sustainable and replicable at scale to improve outcomes for people living with RHD.
Secondary Objectives:
Aim 1: Optimize the ADD-RHD ACT Platform to maximize case retention and delivery of secondary prophylaxis.
Aim 2: Roll out and evaluate the implementation of the ACT Platform.
Aim 3: Assess the adequacy of current policy and regulatory guidance in Uganda for the adoption of new technologies for health in general, and for rheumatic heart disease diagnosis and management and to describe system and policy constructs necessary for the successful approval of new health technology.
Aim 4: Estimate costs, cost-effectiveness, and budget impact of the ACT platform intervention.
