Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

This study aims to improve follow-up care after positive rheumatic heart disease (RHD) screening in Northern Uganda. It will identify barriers and co-develop an enhanced ACT+ strategy, then evaluate its effectiveness in increasing linkage to confirmatory echocardiography, along with its adoption, acceptability, and feasibility. Secondary outcomes include time to diagnosis, initiation of treatment, and factors influencing implementation.
