Evaluating novel tools to improve safety of vivax malaria treatment(AII202100069)Sector: HealthCountry location: Australia, IndonesiaGrantee: Menzies School of Health ResearchBenedikt Ley, Menzies Head Office, Darwin Australia (Credit: Menzies Communications Department)Project DescriptionThis project will foster Australian and Indonesian collaborative research and generate important information ofnational and regional interest to public health. Vivax malaria is the dominant species in Asia. Novel, more effective,treatment regimens are needed but all are contra-indicated in G6PD deficient individuals; broad deployment can onlybe facilitated if G6PD deficient individuals can be identified at the point-of-care. This project will evaluate a noveldiagnostic (Humasis G6PD, ROK) to identify G6PD deficient patients. The test has operational characteristicssuitable for deployment in remote settings and is pre-qualified by Indonesian authorities, but its diagnostic accuracyis unknown. Together with the Eijkman Institute, Indonesia, we will enrol patients attending a remote clinic and willmeasure G6PD status by gold standard and novel diagnostic. Results will be compared to determine test accuracy.The project will provide essential information to Indonesian policy makers when considering novel vivax malaria testand treatment guidelines.Key dates: Community sensitisation: a cross section of the local population, Sumba Island, 01 June 2022 to 30 June2022 Debriefing community: a cross section of the local population, Sumba Island, 01 June 2022 to 30 June2022 Presentation of results 1: Indonesian MoH, Jakarta, 01 February 2023 to 28 February 2023 Presentation of results 2: WHO, Online, 01 March 2023 to 31 March 2023 Presentation of results 3: International conference, Chicago (USA), 18 October 2023 to 22 December 2023 Publication of results, Online and print, 01 January 2023 to 31 December 2023Australia-Indonesia Institute grant offer: 40,000.00Total project value: 102,583.01

Responding to Indonesia’s tobacco public health crisis (AII202100095)Sector: HealthCountry location: Australia, IndonesiaGrantee: The University of QueenslandA young child smiling knowing they are in a smoke-free area (Credit: Shuttershock, PR Image Factory)Project DescriptionIndonesia has one of the highest tobacco use rates globally with estimates indicating that 60% of males smoke.Smokers are mostly men, yet 7.5% of all deaths in women are attributable to tobacco, predominantly from secondhand smoke. Smoke-free environments reduce harm from second-hand smoke, although places such as offices,businesses, and playgrounds in Indonesia are not smoke-free. Creating smoke-free environments is more importantthan ever now with many families staying at home due to COVID-19. Indonesia’s resources on creating smoke-freeenvironments are currently lacking. Our mission is to build on an already established Indonesian-Australiancollaboration to propagate Australia’s smoke-free resources to Indonesia. We will translate and deploy smoke-freeresources using infographics and short clips in interactive formats online and using social media. This will help informtobacco education, capacity building, policy responses and strengthen institutional ties between Indonesian andAustralian researchers and educators.Key dates: Stakeholder engagement workshop, Online, 07 February 2022 to 07 February 2022 Focus group 1 - Surabaya, Jakarta, Brisbane, online, 15 February 2022 to 01 March 2022 Planning and Stakeholder engagement workshop, Online, 28 March 2022 to 28 March 2022 Focus group 2 - Surabaya, Jakarta, Brisbane, online, 09 May 2022 to 17 May 2022 Planning and Stakeholder engagement workshop, Online, 23 May 2022 to 23 May 2022 Focus group 3 - Surabaya, Jakarta, Brisbane, online, 27 May 2022 to 28 May 2022 Implementation of targeted ads (Online), Online for Indonesia, 30 June 2022 to 31 October 2022 Preliminary dissemination of results from social media campaign and related research at the 29th SocietyFor Research on Nicotine and Tobacco (SNRT) annual meeting (International).
