Bridges2Scale: Testing Implementation Strategies for an intervention among young people affected by AIDS
REFNo: SS2488ES
Bridges2Scale will use a two-arm Hybrid III effectiveness-implementation cluster randomized clinical trial, where we will compare two multifaceted strategies (standard vs. enhanced) for scaling the Bridges interventions (consisting of financial literacy training, peer mentorship, family income-generating , and youth development accounts). The standard implementation strategy has been applied in our prior and ongoing studies and involves educational meetings that prepare staff members to deliver Bridges with minimal disruption to site workflow. This will be compared to an enhanced strategy that will be developed using Implementation Mapping, a systematic protocol for developing implementation strategies using theory, evidence, and stakeholder input.
Aim 1: Compare the implementation effectiveness of the standard implementation strategy vs. an enhanced implementation strategy.
Aim 2: Determine the clinical effectiveness of Bridges implemented via a standard vs. enhanced implementation strategy.
Aim 3: Explore implementation processes, mechanisms, and determinants.
Aim 4: Compare the cost and cost-effectiveness of the two implementation strategies.

Assessing the Role of Maternal Social Network Inheritance in the Social Integration of Juvenile Vervet Monkeys (Chlorocebus pygerythrus)
REFNo: NS802ES
I aim to answer the questions: how do maternal dominance rank, age, social network position, and mother-offspring proximity relate to the proximity and grooming networks of their juveniles? Does this differ by offspring sex and/or age?
I hypothesized that maternal social network inheritance occurs and differs by sex and age in vervet monkeys because of (1) mother-offspring proximity, (2) influences of maternal dominance rank and age, (3) patterns of youngest ascendency of female dominance rank in vervets, and (4) female philopatry.
