 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.
