ASPIRES
Brief Summary:
In South Africa, the overall HIV prevalence of 12.2% can be reviewed based on a number of factors: age, province, type of locality, race, economic household conditions, and marital status. Those to be reached through the ASPIRES intervention and evaluation are economically disadvantaged Black African youth, male and female, located in urban localities in Gauteng province, and are situated within a setting of high risk and vulnerability for HIV. The ASPIRES project is providing technical assistance to provide economic strengthening (ES) and HIV prevention education programming for adolescents. The ASPIRES ES intervention includes financial capability building through the provision of financial education in combination with access to appropriate youth-friendly savings mechanisms. The HIV prevention education intervention Vhutshilo 2.2 will be used in this study.
This study will assess whether the integration of an ES intervention with an HIV-prevention education intervention improves economic and health outcomes beyond singular interventions, estimate the resources required at the program level to support the ES and HIV-prevention education interventions; and describe whether the interventions were perceived as effective in addressing economic and health outcomes and to describe how and why the interventions were perceived as effective or not.
This study will enroll up to 2000 youth ages 14-17 and randomly assign them to either 1) ES intervention only, 2) HIV prevention intervention only, 3) combined ES and HIV intervention, or 4) no intervention.
