Adolescents and young adults with HIV AYWH aged 15- 24 years are the fastest-growing population of people living with HIV worldwide AYWH have worse outcomes along the HIV continuum of care than adults with HIV HIVAIDS is the second leading cause of mortality and the fourth leading cause of disability among AYWH worldwide This study will develop a youth-friendly mobile health mHealth intervention to improve retention in care that has the potential to improve AIDS-related mortality and morbidity among AYWH and decrease onward new transmission thus contributing towards ending the HIVAIDS pandemic
Detailed Description:
Background Of the adolescents and young adults with HIV AYWH who initiate in care only about 50 remain in care at 12 months in 2020 AYWH recorded a 50 increase in AIDS-related mortality These poor clinical outcomes among AYWH are multi-factorial and largely influenced by their neurodevelopmental stage and differ by route of infection Current interventions to retain AYWH in care are ineffective and do not address the neurodevelopmental issues of AYWH Social media-based mHealth interventions may offer flexible and attractive features to AYWH to help overcome these barriers Candidate The goal of the proposed K43 Emerging Global Leader Award is to support The investigators research training to attain independence as a clinician-scientist focused on improving treatment and care for AYWH in low resourced settings The investigator is currently a research fellow at Mbarara University of Science and Technology Uganda The proposed study will enable training in three areas 1 Qualitative research skills including design data collection analysis and interpretation 2 Behavioural science skills to better understand influences of adolescent behaviour and implications for mHealth-based intervention development and deployment 3 Skills in statistical methods for clinical trials to conduct clinical trials and longitudinal data analysis This application builds on The investigators current clinical experience and background in epidemiology as well as ongoing formative work in mHealth intervention development and a highly supportive multidisciplinary team of mentors Research The research goals of this proposal are to develop and test a psychosocial social media-based mHealth intervention to improve retention in care of AYWH attain viral suppression therefore decreasing AIDS-related mortality and preventing onward HIV transmission The investigator will identify the HIV knowledge gaps experiences and challenges among AYWH who are new or re-engaging in HIV care characterizing these factors by route of infection ie perinatal vs non-perinatal among AYWH in resource limited populations
