Abstract Background Various interventions to improve the quality of life (QoL) among slum dwellers across sub Saharan Africa have been implemented. However, the interventions impacts remain less understood. We assessed the impact of the Urban Program on Livelihoods and Income Fortification and Socio-civic Transformation (UPLIFT) project on QoL, psychological wellbeing, self-esteem, and the quality of neighbourhood social environment of young people aged 13–25 years in slum areas of Makindye and Nakawa Divisions in Kampala, Uganda. Methods The study was designed as a mixed method evaluation using repeated cross-sectional survey and grounded theory in both the intervention and comparison communities. The intervention effect was estimated using the difference-in-differences Kernel propensity-score matching technique, with bootstrapping. The “rcs” option was used given that data were from repeated cross-sectional surveys. A thematic analysis was adopted for the qualitative data to triangulate and complement the quantitative data. Results The UPLIFT project led to an improvement in QoL, psychological wellbeing, and self-esteem of young people. In terms of QoL, the project led to a six-percentage point increase in quality of living conditions scores (where higher scores reflect better living conditions; lower ones, worse living conditions). However, a negative effect was observed for personal independence whilst the project did not have any impact on social relations. In terms of self-esteem and psychological wellbeing, the project led to a 4.6-point increase in self-esteem scores, a 5.4-point increase in self-acceptance scores, a 5.3- point increase in purpose in life scores, a 5.7 - point increase in personal growth, and a 10.7-point increase in autonomy scores. However, the project had a negative effect on personal independence; and had no impact on environmental mastery and the quality of neighbourhood social environment. Conclusion Functional community-owned assets accumulation and capacity building initiatives for young people in slum areas improved their psychological wellbeing and quality of life. However, such initiatives do not appear to address social relationships and personal independence of young people in slum areas.

High relative humidity of the air caused by frequent unfavourable weather (fog, flooding, daily fluctuations of temperature) is one of the triggers of bronchial constriction that significantly worsens the course of asthma and leads to the increased number of hospital admission. The people with osmotic airway hyperresponsiveness are expected to have the changes in the quality of life in the seasons of the year with high air humidity. The aim of the research was to reveal the features of general and specific quality of life of patients with osmotic airway hyperresponsiveness in contrast seasons of the year. 65 patients of asthma were examined with the questionnaires of SF-36, AQLQ, HADS. High frequency of anxious depression disorders in patients with osmotic hyperresponsiveness and the suppressive effect of anxiety on the low self-esteem of general and specific quality of life in this group in dry season were found. The dominating influence of high humidity on all aspects of quality of life was shown. In blight and humid period of the year the dependence of the majority of components of general and specific quality of life from each other is neutralized and the influence of anxiety on the self-esteem of health fully disappears.
