REFNo: HS6649ES
Primary Objective
The overall objectives of this performance evaluation are:
• To verify the performance characteristics of new on-the-market NAATs and antigen RDTs.
• To establish well-characterized viral pathogen sera/plasma reference panels to support evaluation efforts and quality assurance.
• To evaluate the performance characteristics of new, on-the-market, EIAs and RDTs (IgA, IgG and IgM).
• To train laboratory and POC staff in biosecurity and the required technical skills to perform diagnostic testing.
Specific Objectives:
• To confirm whether or not a new NAAT complies with the manufacturer’s specifications,
• To determine the performance equivalence of new on-the-market NAATs, including POC devices, using available gold standards (or any other comparatively/equally as good WHO/FDA approved NAAT),

Antenatal syphilis testing in central Uganda - Exploring provider-level factors affecting maternal syphilis testing coverage
REFNo: HS6671ES
1. Mapping the current body of literature of syphilis testing in ANC services.This will allow us to obtain an overview on the current state of syphilis testing among pregnant women in ANC services in Uganda.
2. Understanding impeding and facilitating factors of syphilis testing in ANC services.
Investigating providers` (Health Care Workers (HCW), midwives, nurses and physicians) knowledge of syphilis, and their experiences, perceptions, ideas and interest in syphilis testing will be essential to gain deeper understanding of these factors. Additionally, providers’ interest and ideas on engaging partners in antenatal syphilis testing will be explored to address the issue of re-infection in pregnant women. To gain an overview of a pregnant woman’s journey through the clinic, paying particular attention to how syphilis screening fits into antenatal care clinic observations will be conducted.
3. Exploring syphilis self-testing as a novel syphilis testing strategy in ANC services.
Investigating policy makers`, providers’ and pregnant women’s understanding and interest in the use of syphilis self-testing will be investigated. Whether the use of secondary distribution of self-test kits to partners of pregnant women to enhance partner engagement may be an acceptable approach among pregnant women will be also examined.

Evaluation of a Clinical Decision-Support App for Emergency Care in a Rural Ugandan Hospital: A Pilot Randomized Crossover Simulation Trial
REFNo: HS6836ES
The primary objective is to determine whether the newly developed OASES clinical decision-support App improves frontline clinicians’ adherence to evidence-based World Health Organization (WHO) and Uganda Clinical Guidelines during the management of simulated emergency cases of diarrhea, dyspnea, and seizures in a rural outpatient department. The secondary objectives are to assess whether the OASES App improves triage accuracy using the Interagency Integrated Triage Tool, diagnostic accuracy at both the initial and post-investigation stages, and the appropriateness of disposition decisions; to determine whether App use enhances clinicians’ process quality by increasing adherence to guideline-recommended history taking and physical examination; to compare time required to complete simulated emergency cases under App-assisted versus standard practice conditions; to evaluate usability, perceived usefulness, trust, satisfaction, and feasibility of the App through structured questionnaires and qualitative interviews.

Evaluating a “nearly free hour” for health centers in rural Uganda
REFNo: SS4726ES
This study has four specific objectives:
1. Evaluate the effects of a discounted, group visits window on ODH health centers, including how many ultrapoor patients visit the clinic during the discounted, group visits window.
2. Compare the discounted window to an all-day discount to understand whether a time-limited discount is (relatively) more effective at screening in the UP.
3. Document the extent to which the discounted window cannibalizes revenue by shifting patients from other times of day to the discounted window.
4. Analyze whether discounts encourage earlier treatment for mild/moderate malaria, and correspondingly reduce visits for severe malaria.
