FAMILEA: The Remaking of the Family in East Africa
REFNo: SS2417ES
1.4.1 General objective
The FamilEA study in Kampala, Uganda, is part of a larger study that aims to map out the shifting family landscape of residents of East Africa (using Nairobi, Kenya and Kampala, Uganda as starting points), including family networks based outside the city, which is termed the family archipelago. Two main research questions will structure our empirical inquiry. First, how are parental and conjugal ties, as well as extended kinship ties, reinvented and adapted to the realities of urban life and socioeconomic change (single parenthood, links to kin in the village, relations with siblings, etc.), and are there vulnerabilities associated with such family changes? Second, do kinship ties necessarily encompass all family practices; which other ties appear in family-like configurations, and which evolving solidarity networks do academics and policymakers fail to give due consideration to?
1.4.2 Specific objectives
To answer questions in our main objective, we set up three specific objectives that correspond to disciplinary-empirical entry points:
1. To identify and categorize the diverse ways of doing families for active-age residents in Kampala Metropolitan through everyday practices/events in different types of ties/configurations, and related vulnerabilities.
2. To explore Ugandan family archipelagos, i.e., familyhood’s spatial and mobility dimensions, in urban zones as well as across various family islands up-country and how they relate to each other.
3. To employ a historical perspective to assess changes and the newness of contemporary family arrangements in Uganda.

Wellness4Students Program to Mitigate Stress, Anxiety, and Depression among Makerere University Students in Uganda (Wellness4Students Project)
REFNo: SS4200ES
1.3 Aim and objectives of the study
This study aims to co-create, implement, and evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a Wellness4Students supportive email/WhatsApp messaging program to mitigate symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression and to promote well-being among university students in Uganda.
Specific Aims
Aim 1: To co-create and adapt the Wellness4Students intervention for SAD and mental well-being for university students in Uganda. We will co-create the Wellness4Students (W4S) program and then adapt it for students at Makerere University [27, 28, 36].
Aim 2: To determine the prevalence of stress, anxiety, and depression among university students in Uganda. We will use a self-administered online baseline survey to measure these outcomes. The primary outcomes will be Stress, Anxiety, and Depression (SAD) and well-being. This will be measured using the Psychological Stress Scale (PSS-10), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7), the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), and the WHO Wellbeing Scale [14, 37-40]. We will estimate the prevalence of each of these outcomes separately. to assess the impact of the program on stress, anxiety and depression?
Aim 3:. To assess the feasibility and acceptability of the Wellness4Students intervention for addressing stress, anxiety, and depression among university students in Uganda, as well as to evaluate its impact.
We will assess the daily consistency in program participation (i.e. ability to read daily messages), completion rates (Lost to follow-up), the improvement in mean scores of Stress, Anxiety, and Depression at 3 months, and 6 months [14, 27, 37-40]. End-line survey perceptions and feedback about the program at 6 months will be evaluated. At the end of the intervention and follow up survey, we will conduct a satisfaction survey, as indicated in the last section of the survey questionnaire.
Aim 4: To investigate the association between demographic factors and Stress, Anxiety, and Depression among University students in Uganda.

Psychosocial predictors of sexual risk behaviour among HIV infected and affected adolescents in HIV affected homes of Uganda
REFNo: SS270ES
Despite the long-lasting psychosocial impacts of HIV and the rising number of children progressing to adolescence and reproductive stages with HIV infection and or exposure in Uganda, the extent and factors of psychosocial and sexual risks among adolescents in HIV-exposed homes is unknown. Existing studies have ignored this population yet they are many and prone to psychosocial risks of HIV and focused on either older HIV-infected adolescents attending HIV care or young orphans. Additionally, these studies mainly examined levels and demographic factors of psychological distresses and risky sexual practices and do not therefore offer ample knowledge about the psychosocial situation and sexual risk behaviour among varied adolescents in HIV-affected homes to facilitate inclusive programming. This knowledge deficit begets three research questions, namely 1) What is the psychosocial and sexual risk behaviour situation of HIV infected and affected adolescents living in HIV-affected homes of Uganda? 2) How do HIV infected and affected adolescents compare concerning the psychosocial and sexual risk behaviour situations? 3) Does the psychosocial situation predict sexual risk behaviour in these groups?
The proposed research therefore aims to: 1) determine the psychosocial and sexual risk behaviour situation of HIV infected and affected adolescents in HIV-affected homes across three HIV-burdened districts in Uganda; 2) compare the socio-demographic contexts and levels of community stressors, psychosocial distresses, coping ways and sexual risk behaviours of the two groups; 3) examine the coping mediated psychosocial predictors of sexual risk behaviour in these groups; and 4) evaluate if socio-demographic factors (age, sex, etc.) moderate the coping mediated associations between community stressors, psychosocial distresses and sexual risk behaviour in this population.
