The Socio-economic Impact of Covid-19 Among Women and Youth in Nakivale Refugee Settlement, Uganda
Although COVID-19 prevention measures played an important role in containing the pandemic, they had unintended consequences especially among vulnerable populations. This formative research sought to explore the impact of COVID-19 on women and youth in the Nakivale Refugee Settlement (NRS), Uganda. In this mixed-methods study, we administered surveys to 258 women and youth aged 15–35 years from NRS to capture data including food insecurity, asset …
Facilitators and barriers for completion of the diagnostic process among people with presumed tuberculosis in Central Uganda
Uganda has improved its tuberculosis (TB) diagnostic processes over the years since the scale up of the Xpert MTB/RIF testing in 2012. However, there are continued delays in diagnosis and missing people with TB who are either not diagnosed or notified. We explored facilitators and barriers for completion of the TB diagnostic process among people with presumed TB in selected health facilities in Central Uganda. This was a qualitative exploration i…
The feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary impact of real-time monitors and SMS on tuberculosis medication adherence in southwestern Uganda
We conducted a pilot randomized controlled trial among patients initiating treatment for drug-sensitive tuberculosis (TB). Participants received real-time electronic adherence monitors and were randomized (1:1:1) to: (i) daily SMS (reminders to TB patients and notifications to social supporters sent daily for 3 months, then triggered by late or missed dosing for 3 months); (ii) weekly SMS (reminders to TB patients and notifications to social supp…
Structured and sustained family planning support facilitates effective use of postpartum contraception amongst women living with HIV in South Western Uganda
BACKGROUND: Despite low pregnancy intentions, many women accessing contraception discontinue use, increasing the risk of unwanted pregnancies among women living with HIV (WLWH). We evaluate whether a family planning support intervention, inclusive of structured immediate one-on-one postpartum counseling, and a follow-up mechanism through additional health information and SMS reminders affects continuous contraceptive use and pregnancy incidence a…
Electronic Adherence Monitoring May Facilitate Intentional HIV Status Disclosure Among People Living with HIV in Rural Southwestern Uganda
Understanding the Effect of a Healthcare Provider-Led Family Planning Support Intervention on Contraception use and Pregnancy Desires among Postpartum Women Living with HIV in Southwestern Uganda
The importance of how research participants think they are perceived
Novel monitoring technologies in HIV research, such as electronic adherence monitors (EAMs), have changed the nature of researcher-participant interactions. Yet little is known about how EAMs and the resulting interaction between researchers and participants affect research participation and the data gathered. We interviewed participants and research assistants (RAs) in an observational cohort study involving EAMs for HIV antiretroviral therapy (…
Resilience after withdrawing a technology-based medication adherence support intervention from people living with HIV in rural Uganda
Technology-based interventions for behavior change, such as adherence monitors and SMS text messages, can improve adherence to HIV antiretroviral therapy. It is unclear, however, how the effects of such interventions are maintained when interventions are withdrawn. We explored resiliency of people living with HIV in coping with adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) after withdrawing an adherence support intervention of real-time adherence mon…
Ugandan Study Participants Experience Electronic Monitoring of Antiretroviral Therapy Adherence as Welcomed Pressure to Adhere
Understanding Patterns of Social Support and Their Relationship to an ART Adherence Intervention Among Adults in Rural Southwestern Uganda
SMS is a widely used technology globally and may also improve ART adherence, yet SMS notifications to social supporters following real-time detection of missed doses showed no clear benefit in a recent pilot trial. We examine the demographic and social-cultural dynamics that may explain this finding. In the trial, 63 HIV-positive individuals initiating ART received a real-time adherence monitor and were randomized to two types of SMS reminder int…
