Background: The success of the Community Based Education Research and services (COBERS) in Mbarara University of Science and Technology plays a fundamental role in improving the community's health, education, and economics by sharing knowledge obtained from projects and increases the student's interest and participation in research while fulfilling the mission and vision of the university. The Student's perception of the Program contributes to compliance by Students to work in rural areas upon graduation, increases trust from communities, enhances the behavioral change and decreases costs to health departments, and facilitates development and implementation of more effective public health interventions. Most published studies reporting students' perceptions of COBERS are mainly from the developed world and only a few in Africa including Uganda. This report explored the overall Students Perceptions of COBERS at Mbarara University of Science and Technology. Methodology: A qualitative descriptive design was employed. The study involved thirty-three Medical students who were selected by purposive sampling. Data was collected using focused group discussions and analyzed manually to generate themes and subthemes. Results: Four themes emerged from eighteen categories describing Medical Students Perception of COBERS: An opportunity for interactions, the program is challenging, Attainment of skills, and an opportunity for interactions. These Qualitative findings reveal mixed feelings about COBERS. Conclusion: In conclusion, the four themes; An opportunity for interactions, the program is challenging, attainment of skills, an opportunity for translating theory to practice that emerged from eighteen categories were mostly expressions of perceptions of COBERS. These qualitative findings suggest that students' acceptance of COBERS as a requirement for Medical Schools is based on their perception of the expected outcome and the perceived benefits of their contribution to the community. These findings were from five focused group discussions where participants participated voluntarily in the study.

Disadvantaged Families

Purpose Children from disadvantaged families often already show developmental deficits at the time of school entry. The goal of Schritt:weise, a preventive, easy-access early education program for children ages one to five is to avoid such deficits through a combination of home visits by semi-professionals as well as center-based group activities. The program has been translated and adapted from the Dutch program Opstapje and is now being implemented in different regions in Switzerland. To offer the program more readily in rural areas, four adapted models were developed. This paper aims to provide a mixed-method, combined process and outcome evaluation of these newly developed models. Design/methodology/approach For this combined process and outcome evaluation, standardized testing for child development outcomes and interviews with different stakeholders were conducted. Findings The evaluation found that implementation of all four models was feasible and children developed along the norm in all four of the models. This finding was confirmed one year after program completion. Research limitations/implications Building an evidence-base to better understand success of early intervention programs is key to effectively supporting children from disadvantaged families in their development. Practical implications This early education program using home-visitation with semi-professionals is feasible and successful in reaching children from disadvantaged families. Social implications It is possible to support children from disadvantaged families through the program Schritt:weise and prevent developmental deficits at school entry. Originality/value The finding that children developed along the norm in all four models means that the key program goal was achieved and that the specific implementation model can be chosen based on the specifics of the implementation context.

Techniques used in this program consisted of community-based education, goal setting, follow-up and face-to-face interview. Data were analyzed by independent t-test. Results. There are significantly different of knowledge and self-efficacy after community-based education program in intervention (M = 9.26, SD = 2.8 ; M = 53.26, SD = 10.50) and control group (M = 7.39, SD = 2.4; M = 36.74, SD = 4.49).  This study revealed that community-based education program significantly improved self-efficacy (p=0.000) but not improved for knowledge (p=0.180).
