    Research Overview<\/b><\/h2>

    <\/p>\n

    Road Crashes and Injuries (RoCIs) are a major global public health issue, causing approximately 1.3 million deaths annually, with the highest fatality rates in sub-Saharan Africa. Despite having only 54% of the world’s vehicles, 90% of RoCI fatalities occur in low and middle-income countries. In Uganda, road traffic injuries are a critical concern, with fatalities increasing significantly over the past 25 years. Urban areas, particularly Kampala, experience a higher volume of RoCIs, although the majority of fatalities occur in rural settings. The Kampala-Jinja Highway, a major transport corridor, has been identified as a high-risk area for RoCIs. The Ugandan government has implemented the National Road Safety Action Plan to reduce RoCIs by 25%, yet challenges persist, necessitating further research to develop effective mitigation strategies specifically for high-risk areas like the Kampala-Jinja Highway. This questionnaire is intended to obtain information to shape the above research.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>
