Having adapted SH+ for South Sudanese refugees a feasibility cluster randomized controlled trial of the intervention was conducted in Rhino Camp, a refugee settlement area in northern Uganda. Women were the focus of the study since prior intervention adaptation and piloting had shown the need for separate evaluation efforts with men and women.

The SH+ intervention and research protocols were found to be feasible in Uganda among South Sudanese refugees, with promising results related to randomization, fidelity, adherence, contamination, blinding, and sensitivity to change.
