Exposure-Response Evaluation of IV Artesunate in Children with Severe Malaria
REFNo: HS2027ES

Primary:
• To determine the relationship between dihydroartemisinin (DHA) exposures following intravenous dosing and markers of physiologic dysfunction associated with severe malaria
Secondary:
• To determine the relationship between DHA exposures and time to hospital discharge
• To determine the relationship between DHA exposures and parasite clearance associated with treatment of severe malaria.
Exploratory:
• To determine the relationship between DHA exposures and neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with treatment of severe malaria outcomes and explore predictors that may affect this relationship
• To evaluate the role of parasite clearance as a mediator of the relationship between DHA exposures and markers of physiologic dysfunction associated with severe malaria
• To develop a score comprised of markers of physiologic dysfunction and describe its relationship to clinical outcomes
• To assess P. falciparum infections for artemisinin resistance

Automated visual evaluation and geospatial mapping for cervical cancer screening optimization in sub-Saharan Africa (AVE-Map)
REFNo: HS2069ES

3. To use AVE and geospatial analysis to scale up cervical cancer screening in Uganda ,2. To determine access to cervical cancer screening and referral pathways in Uganda ,1. To validate and expand use of AVE for cervical cancer screening in SSA ,We aim to leverage and develop data science expertise at our sites to first optimize and then combine AVE-based screening by health workers at peripheral health facilities with geospatial-analysis and needs-driven assessment to inform scale-up of cervical cancer screening in Uganda ,

A Randomized Control Trial (RCT) on the Adoption of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Cooking Technology among Fast Food (Chapati) Vendors in Uganda
REFNo: SS1017ES

This study seeks to establish the impact of hire purchase schemes and health and safety information on adoption of LPG cookstoves by chapati vendors.

This study will achieve the following specific objectives:
1) The impact of learning from LPG use in grace period before purchase armotisation on adoption of LPG cookstoves by chapati vendors for their businesses and households.
2) The impact of hire purchase on adoption of LPG cookstoves by chapati vendors for their businesses and households.
3) The impact of information on safety and health benefits of LPG on adoption of LPG cookstoves by chapati vendors for their businesses and households.
4) The impact of peer learning from other vendors using LPG cookstoves on adoption of LPG cookstoves by chapati vendors for their businesses and households.
