Sponsor's own description

The overall objectives of this proposal are to support positive coping strategies that bolster mental health and lead to improved HIV outcomes among Young People Living with HIV (YPLWH). The central hypothesis is that SYV (Sauti ya Vijana, The Voice of Youth) will be effective to improve antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence and virologic suppression in YPLWH in Tanzania. The rationale for this project is that by targeting mental health, which is strongly associated with medication adherence, that this will effectively improve adherence and thereby HIV viral suppression. The central hypothesis will be tested in three aims in a hybrid type-1 effectiveness-implementation trial.
