Strengthening the Effectiveness of National Children’s Care Systems: A Political Analysis of Uganda
REFNo: SS1064ES
This study will examine the effectiveness of the National Children’s Care System in Uganda focusing on the political, bureaucratic and economic forces as well as the strategies that augment the effectiveness of this system.
The study aims to use the collected data to develop an adaptable framework to achieve effective national care systems for children in Low-Income Countries (LICs).
In specific terms, the research will:
1. Examine the political, bureaucratic and economic forces shaping the effectiveness of Uganda’s national children’s care systems
2. Delineate the strategies to improve the capacity of these systems to protect children
3. Develop an adaptable framework for Uganda to analyze factors shaping children’s care systems in LICs?

Mycobacterium tuberculosis associated immune activation and exhaustion profiles for prediction of active pulmonary tuberculosis
REFNo: HS1201ES
Main Objectives
Determine the differential expression of immune activation and exhaustion markers to predict active TB disease among presumptive TB cases.
Primary Specific Objectives
i. To determine the levels of soluble markers of immune activation and exhaustion in serum of active PTB cases, LTBI and those with ORDs and response to treatment.
ii. To determine levels of immune activation and exhaustion associated cytokines/chemokines in serum among active PTB, LTBI and ORDs and response to treatment.
iii. Perform a phenotypic profiling of expression of markers immune activation and exhaustion in PBMCs and determine their association with active PTB, LTBI states or other respiratory diseases (ORDs).
iv. To determine the activation and exhaustion genes expression profiles in QFT Gold plus cell pellets and compare levels in active PTB cases and LTBI.

Acceptability, Feasibility and Effectiveness of a Mindfulness based Intervention to Promote Adherence to Antiretroviral Therapy among Adolescents in Kampala.
REFNo: HS1656ES
1. To adapt and explore acceptability of ACT-DNA-v among users (ALWHA) and providers (HCPs).
2. To measure feasibility of the adapted ACT-DNA-v for use with ALWHA.
3. To examine the impact of ACT-DNA-v on reducing proximal psychosocial barriers to medication adherence (depression, anxiety and stigma) among ALWHA.
4. To measure effectiveness of a mindfulness based intervention (ACT-DNA-v) on self-reported adherence among ALWHA in Kampala, and ascertain its impact on viral load reduction via analysis of data from medical records
