Development of a multidimensional deprivation index for emerging municipalities and cities in Uganda
This study advances the measurement of urban living standards deprivation by developing a context-specific multidimensional deprivation index and estimating the extent of deprivation in Uganda’s newly gazetted municipalities and cities. The analysis draws on household listing data collected in November 2021 from 5987 households in Jinja City and Iganga Municipality. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used to identify latent depriva…
Women's experiences negotiating barriers and asserting agency on family planning in urban east-central Uganda
Many women in Uganda face barriers to using family planning in ways that are safe and responsive to their needs. This study explored the experiences of women in urban east-central Uganda to understand how they access, use, and navigate family planning services to identify opportunities for service improvement. Ten women participated in a three-month photovoice process combining photography with bi-monthly group discussions. Data were analysed usi…
Using causal loop diagrams to examine the interrelationships between factors influencing family planning utilisation in urban east central Uganda
INTRODUCTION: Despite progress in reducing Uganda's unmet need for family planning (FP), particularly in urban areas, it remains high with notable intraurban disparities. FP services in urban settings are delivered in a complex health system, which impacts service delivery and utilisation. Acknowledging the complexity of FP utilisation in these contexts, this study adopted a systems thinking approach, using causal loop diagrams (CLDs), to examine…
How a co-design process led to more contextually relevant family planning interventions in emerging urban settings in Eastern Uganda
Voluntary, rights-based family planning upholds women’s right to determine freely the number and spacing of their children. However, low-resource settings like Uganda still face a high unmet need for family planning. And, while urban areas are often indicated to have better access to health services, emerging evidence is revealing intra-urban socio-economic differentials in family planning utilization. To address the barriers to contraceptive use…
Multi-measure assessment of adherence to antiretroviral therapy among children under five years living with HIV in Jinja, Uganda
Children under 5 years in Jinja had a high level of ART non-adherence. It is important to engage schools to support adherence among children living with HIV. Addressing household food insecurity and improving the quality of paediatric ART services would also reduce the barriers to optimal adherence
