The investigators will investigate the existence of alcohol drinking among children living under adult supervision and care, living within the communities. The investigators will focus on the age group 6-13 years overlapping with the recommended age for primary school attendance. The project is approaching the research topic using quantitative and qualitative methods. The TREAT C-AUD research project will therefore document to which degree alcohol drinking is a problem among children in Mbale, Eastern Uganda.

Clinical Trial Description

Uganda has as many other sub-Saharan countries high alcohol consumption per capita and traditions for home brewing. The TREAT C-AUD research project, with partners from Makerere University in Uganda, University of Bergen and Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Norway, will investigate the existence of alcohol drinking among children living under adult supervision and care, living within the communities. The investigators will focus on the age group 6-13 years overlapping with the recommended age for primary school attendance. The project is approaching the research topic from comprehensive perspectives including a large cross-sectional study, interviews with parents and carers, children and stakeholders in the communities, schools and in the health system. The investigators have been including community representatives, expert groups, user groups and stakeholders in the development of screening tools and will do so in interpreting and disseminating the results. The investigators have to take the Covid-19 situation into account both with regard to its effect on the research question at stake and the methods used. The TREAT C-AUD research project will therefore document to which degree alcohol drinking is a problem among children in the communities in Mbale District, Eastern Ugandan. The data collection is capturing cofactors such as other substance use, mental health, parenting, trauma, nutrition and growth. The development of alcohol assessment tools can be used by the health- and school-system for detection and handling of children having problems with alcohol. The investigators will collaborate closely with services in case of identification of children suffering severe harm and adhere to Good Clinical Practice guidelines for ethical conduct, the consent procedure, follow-up and referral. ;
