Item Effect of intermittent preventive treatment for malaria with dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine on immune responses to vaccines among rural Ugandan adolescents: randomised controlled trial protocol B for the ‘POPulation differences in VACcine responses’ (POPVAC) programme(BMJ open, 2020-02-16) Natukunda, Agnes; Nkurunungi, Gyaviira; Oduru, Gloria; Kabuubi, Prossy N.; Mutebe, AlexDrivers of lower vaccine efficacy and impaired vaccine-specific immune responses in low-income versus high-income countries, and in rural compared with urban settings, are not fully elucidated. Repeated exposure to and immunomodulation by parasite infections may be important. We focus on Plasmodium falciparum malaria, aiming to determine whether there are reversible effects of malaria infection on vaccine responses.Item Measurement of Parenting Self‑efficacy Among Female HIV‑Affected Caregivers in Uganda(Maternal and child health journal, 2020-01-07) Augustinavicius, Jura L.; Murray, Sarah M.; Mutebe, Alex; Arima, EthanParenting self-efficacy has been associated with positive parenting behaviors, fewer parental mental health problems, less family dysfunction, and better child development outcomes. The parenting sense of competence (PSOC) scale is commonly used to measure parenting self-efficacy in high-resource settings. This study sought to examine the factor structure, internal consistency, and convergent construct validity of the PSOC in a sample of predominantly HIV-infected women in Uganda.
