Using Implementation Science To Understand And Design Stakeholder Informed Innovative Interventions To Improve Youth HIV Prevention And Care Continuums In Rural And Urban Uganda
REFNo: HS3625ES
We will use platforms in aims 1 and 2 to strengthen capacity of implementation science and to translate findings into policy and guidelines through clearly defined and established channels. ,To assess the rollout of a culturally acceptable, feasible HIV prevention and care intervention among AYA at high risk, on uptake and persistence to CAB-LA or SEARCH-YOUTH treatment support intervention using implementation effectiveness hybrid designs. Aim 2 will be informed by Aim 1 with regards to specific implementation features. We will recruit AYA (15-24 years) both HIV negative and HIV positive. We will screen them for high risk of seroconversion if negative and for those testing HIV positive unsuppressed or at risk of being unsuppressed. We will assess scale up in real world settings of evidence-based interventions to increase uptake and persistence on CAB-LA (HIV negative) and increase viral suppression (HIV positive) among high risk AYA.,Using the updated CFIR, we will identify determinants (barriers and facilitators) of potential implementation success of two innovations: CAB-LA uptake and persistence and SEARCH-YOUTH (SY) implementation at the community, clinic, organization, provider, and patient levels in five CRPS in urban, semi-urban and rural Uganda. Using CFIR implementation science framework we will conduct in-depth key informant interviews and focus group discussions with five different stakeholder groups:,
