NEW APPROACHES FOR THE EARLY DETECTION OF CERVICAL NEOPLASIA
REFNo: HS1161ES
1. Determine acceptability and accuracy of a low-cost smartphone confocal micro-endoscope imaging technique for the diagnosis of CIN 2+. Confocal images will be compared against gold-standard histopathology to obtain preliminary diagnostic performance characteristics.
2. Compare various cervico-vaginal fluid (CVF) biomarkers to gold-standard histopathology for the diagnosis of CIN 2+. Qualitative and quantitative levels of biomarkers will be compared against gold-standard histopathology to obtain diagnostic performance characteristics.

A Multisectoral Strategy to Address Persistent Drivers of the HIV Epidemic in East Africa (SAPPHIRE)
REFNo: HS1239ES
Overall Objective: Our overall objective is to determine to reduce HIV incidence and to improve community health with multi-sector, scalable interventions.
Primary Objective: Reduce HIV incidence using innovative strategies for HIV prevention and treatment to simultaneously reach “persistent driver†populations.
Secondary Objectives:
1. Evaluate and optimize individual intervention component effects, alone (Phase A) and in combination (Phase B), versus control conditions on prevention coverage and HIV viral suppression
2. Assess the effect of the intervention package on other health outcomes (all-cause mortality, tuberculosis, hypertension linkage and control, heavy alcohol use and mother-to-child HIV transmission) in Phase B
3. Evaluate behavioral and other mechanistic pathways for intervention effects on proximal mediators of HIV incidence in Phase B
4. Assess the reach, effectiveness, patient and provider adoption, and fidelity and the maintenance of intervention components in Phase B
5. Use final study data to inform a strategic and sustainable investment model that maximally reduces HIV incidence and improves community health for the combination interventions tested in Phase B

Caregiver-Assisted Oral Fluid-based HIV Screening in Children: Estimation of Acceptability, Feasibility and Effectiveness Linked to Index Testing Services in Uganda.
REFNo: HS1258ES
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the acceptability, feasibility and effectiveness of a caregiver-assisted oral fluid based HIV test to screen children for HIV. The results of this study are intended to support expanded access to HIV testing and treatment services for children, and to ensure that all newly diagnosed children are linked to clinical care.
The primary objectives of this study are to:
1. Estimate the acceptability of implementing caregiver-assisted oral fluid-based HIV screening for children as part of index testing services for HIV-positive adults.
2. Estimate the feasibility of implementing caregiver-assisted oral fluid-based HIV screening for children as part of index testing services for HIV-positive adults.
3. Estimate the effectiveness of caregiver-assisted oral fluid-based HIV screening on testing yield, return to clinic, and linkage to ART for newly identified CLHIV.
The secondary objective of the study is to:
Estimate the cost of caregiver-assisted oral fluid-based HIV screening compared to the standard costs of the existing referral to testing program, from the perspective of the health care provider.

The Paradox of Being an Adolescent Girl in Uganda During a Global
Pandemic
REFNo: SS765ES
My research aims to answer the following
research question and sub-questions:
How do adolescent girls in Uganda navigate the liminal period of COVID-19 when their
educational aspirations of empowerment are put on hold and they face exacerbating
pressures to abide by gender roles/expectations?
Sub-questions:
1- How do high school drop-outs in Uganda differ before and after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic?
2- What factors influence adolescent girls’ reproductive health and
whether or not they return to school?
3- How do adolescent girls’ future aspirations play a role in their
continuation of schooling?
4- How do adolescent girls interpret peer drop-outs as they navigate their
own decision to continue their education or drop-out?
