Research network for design and evaluation of adolescent health interventions and policies in Sub-Saharan Africa (DASH)
REFNo: HS4116ES
The overarching and long-term goal for the DASH research activities is to boost adolescent health in SAA through rigorous population-based surveillance, intervention and policy research in seven SSA countries including Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania and Uganda (henceforth referred to as the ‘African DASH partner countries’). The key functions to address these objectives are to combine the efficient collection and use of important adolescent health data, and the employment of robust quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection and evaluation with local domain-specific expert and stakeholder knowledge on the health domains nutrition & physical activity, sexual & reproductive health, and mental health & violence (henceforth referred to as the ‘DASH health domains’).,To examine and assess transportability of DASH interventions and population-level policies (Transportability), in order to context relate to adolescent and young adult health, with the aim to understand how this context moderates the impact of interventions and policies; subsequently we will aim to transport the evidence on impact, generated within DASH, to other contexts in SSA,To evaluate population-level policies (Policy evaluation) with the aim to prioritize and select multiple population-level policies, related to the DASH health domains, which likely affect the health of adolescents and young adults, and to subsequently evaluate and understand the impact and mechanisms of these policies in Ghana, South Africa and Tanzania,To evaluate the impact of the DASH interventions (Intervention evaluation), their impact and performance,To co-design DASH interventions (Co-Design) with the aim to gain an understanding of local intervention needs and will co-design and pilot test interventions to improve nutrition & physical activity in South Africa, sexual & reproductive health in Uganda, and mental health & violence in Tanzania; these designed interventions will then be locally adapted in each African DASH partner country,To implement and test multiple light-touch interventions, which are relatively non-invasive, resource non-intensive interventions that aim to influence intentions, motivations and behaviors related to the three DASH health domains,To conduct surveillance of health and health-related risks (Surveillance) in order to determine trends and changes in adolescent and youth health, well-being and behaviors, particularly related to the three DASH health domains.,
