Data for: Pilot randomized control trial (RCT) of a psychological intervention for alcohol misuse and mental health comorbidities (PM+A) in conflict-affected populations in Uganda (CHANGE)

The CHANGE pilot trial in Uganda assessed the feasibility and safety of implementing the PM+A intervention among male South Sudanese refugees living in Northern Uganda, and tested and refined procedures for recruitment and data collection prior to assessing effectiveness in a definitive Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT). This dataset includes information collected from 94 men living in northern Uganda, including data on screened participants (N=94) and baseline (N=66) and follow-up data (N=60) for participants included in the study. Follow-up data were collected 3 months post-baseline assessment. Variables collected include socio-demographics measures, alcohol use using the timeline follow back, AUDIT, and ASSIST tools; mental health using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Hopkins Symptoms Checklist, and Kessler-10 tools; functional disability using the World Health Organization (WHO) Disability Assessment Schedule; and WHO measure of perpetration of sexual violence. Data collection forms developed using Open Data Kit (ODK) and administered to participants by research assistants. Data were exported to Stata 18 for analysis.
