Abstract:
Includes bibliographical references<br>Introduction: Mental health of Ugandans could be improved through mainstreaming the services into primary care systems. Nurses constitute a high percentage of the workforce in health; therefore they can significantly contribute towards several experiences by patients with mental illness. Stigma towards mental illness and individuals living with mental illness is among the major hindrances to effective mental health service delivery amongst healthcare workers. Therefore it is important for stigma to be explored among general nurses as mental health service

Abstract:
Malaria is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly among young children in Sub-Saharan Africa. There exists a very effective treatment for malaria, a class of drugs known as artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs). However, it is estimated that only 12-22% of children with malaria were treated with an ACT in 2015 and, even when people take ACTs, they do not always complete the full treatment course. This dissertation examines malaria treatment behaviors in Central and Eastern Uganda. The first two chapters of this dissertation use a randomized controlled trial

Decentralization of health services in Uganda, driven by the structural adjustment programme of the World Bank, was embraced by government as a means to change the health institutional structure and process delivery of health services in the country. Arising from the decentralization process, the transfer of power concerning functions from the top administrative hierachy in health service provision to lower levels, constitutes a major shift in management, philosophy, infrastructure development, communication as well as other functional roles by actors at various levels of health care.

Bibliography: leaves 96-99.<br>Health reforms that advocate for more private sector involvement in the provision and financing of health services are increasingly being considered as a means of ensuring more efficient provision of health related services. Though such reforms may be designed, funded and implemented it does not imply that the conditions necessary for them to yield the intended results do exist. One such reform is contracting out. The only national referral hospital Uganda has a long history of contracting out health support services, but there is hardly any empirical evidence of

Abstract:
Background: Survival of children and adolescents with HIV/AIDS has greatly improved with antiretroviral treatment. These young people now live with a chronic, rather than a fatal disease, which has brought into focus issues of quality of life, including the emotional and behavioral wellbeing of those living with the disease. HIV infection is associated with poor mental health and a high prevalence of behavioral and emotional problems in affected adolescents. Despite this burden of emotional and behavioral problems, the majority of HIV care services in sub-Saharan Africa do not have mental heal

Abstract:
Due to the teenage pregnancy rates and the incidence of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) that exist in today's society, it is very important for teenagers to be informed of the facts related to pregnancy and STDs and how to prevent them from occurring. With this knowledge, they are able to make informed decisions related to their sexual experiences. The prime opportunity for such sharing of information can be in schools. The purpose of this study is to determine if sex education in school influences the knowledge and behaviors of teenagers toward sexual behavior, pregnancy, and sexually tr
