Uganda is highly susceptible to public health emergencies due to its proximity to the ecologically diverse and biologically rich tropical Congo Basin, recurrent epidemic-prone outbreaks, and refugee inflow [1]. In the last 5 years before 2024, Uganda has faced several significant outbreaks, including Ebola and Marburg virus diseases, cholera, measles, and Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, highlighting the ongoing threat of infectious diseases [2].

Fixed SMS data are stored in a secure cloud, which is Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliant. i Streams-Uganda works in partnership with Africa’s Talking, a platform that facilitates access to a telco infrastructure that uses automated SMS, voice, airtime, and other application programming interfaces—mechanisms tested and successfully used during our pilot study. This automated technology for SMS [23,25] and calls [36,63] has also been used for other studies in Uganda.

Similarly, studies conducted among patients and health care providers in Uganda have shown that VDOT is feasible and acceptable for monitoring and supporting patients undergoing TB treatment [25,30,31]. A recent systematic review and meta-analysis found that VDOT is effective in improving medication adherence and bacteriological resolution compared with in-person DOT care [32].

The prevalence of common mental disorders among adolescents in Uganda is alarmingly high, with estimates reaching up to 25% [1-3]. When left unaddressed, common mental disorders such as depression and anxiety can profoundly impact the developmental trajectories of adolescents, with potentially long-lasting consequences that extend into adulthood [4].

Uganda, like many other low- and middle-income countries, faces a significant mental health burden and a substantial gap in mental health care. Approximately 1 in 3 Ugandans experience some form of mental illness, with depression (22.2%) and anxiety (20.2%) being the most prevalent [18,19]. Additionally, Uganda has one of the highest per-capita alcohol consumption rates, with alcohol and substance use disorders being widespread, particularly among men, while also affecting children and youth [20].

A mobile health (m Health) intervention is a feasible approach for the delivery of interventions to youths with depression living with HIV in Uganda. Upwards of 85% of countries in SSA have accomplished a high level of mobile phone penetration [46]. According to the 2021 Uganda Communications Commission Report, over 70% of Ugandans own a mobile phone [47].

Further, in part owing to the lack of access to information and services related to mobility, the uptake of antiretroviral therapy among adolescents and young adults in Uganda living with HIV is considerably lower than that among adults in Uganda living with HIV [8-10].
Mental health and substance use affect decisions regarding sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and can increase the risk for acquiring HIV infection [11-13].
