  • Detailed Project Plan
    Detailed Project Plan Background information on use of exhibitions for behaviour change and health engagement In Uganda, during the 1980’s and 1990’s behavioural change communication (BCC) campaigns were effective in reducing the spread of HIV. Many organisations in Uganda have archived communication materials that were used in these earlier campaigns. Scholars and practitioners believe these materials could be used to activate a dialogue with people at risk of and living with HIV infection today. Many young people may be complacent about HIV as they have not lived through the times when HIV was killing thousands of people weekly before effective treatment was available. UNAIDS have warned that complacency (in people at risk and in policymakers) about HIV has caused a stalling in the prevention of new HIV infections in adults, and a rise in new infections in young people (5); tackling complacency was highlighted in 2017 at the launch of the Uganda Fast Track to End AIDS by 2030 (10). Artefact engagement has been studied as a mechanism for improving health outcomes in hospitalised adults and children or those suffering from cognitive impairment in high income settings (6). Effective exhibitions include those that are interactive and encourage visitors to become a part of the historical narrative. For example, war-era exhibitions encourage one to understand their role in society as a bystander, witness or rescuer; we hypothesize that these methods may work with an exhibition about the HIV epidemic. Peer-led discussions around historical health messages e.g. smoking adverts and school children have been shown to impact on people at risk of contemporary disease and help with public health interventions (7).
