Symptoms of depression, anxiety, and thoughts of suicide/self-injury in adolescents and young adults living with HIV in Botswana
Globally, mental health problems have been reported to be more common in youth living with HIV (YLWH) than in the general population, but routine mental health screening is rarely done in high-volume HIV clinics. In 2019, YLWH in a large HIV clinic in Botswana were screened using the Generalized Anxiety Scale-7 (GAD-7) and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) in a pilot standard-of-care screening programme. Two-way ANOVA was used to describe th…
Youth perspectives of working with near peer youth lay counsellors
Youth living with HIV (YLWH) have higher rates of common mental disorders (CMDs) when compared with HIV‐negative youth. We adapted the Friendship Bench to create a problem solving‐based counselling intervention in Botswana delivered by near peer youth lay counsellors for YLWH called Safe Haven. In August 2020, and from June to August 2021, we conducted 22 semistructured interviews with youth aged 13–25 years with mild‐to‐moderate symptoms of CMDs…
Principles for delivery of youth lay counsellor programs
There is accumulating evidence that lay counsellors can effectively provide structured, evidence-based counselling interventions to improve mental health outcomes [1–4]. Lay counsellors help alleviate overburdened health systems that have limited numbers of mental health professionals through ‘task-shifting,’ a process of referring straightforward, or common mental health illness to lay workers who have received counselling training [...]
Integrating Adolescent Mental Health into HIV Prevention and Treatment Programs
Adolescent mental health (AMH) is a critical driver of HIV outcomes, but is often overlooked in HIV research and programming. The implementation science Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, Sustainment (EPIS) framework informed development of a questionnaire that was sent to a global alliance of adolescent HIV researchers, providers, and implementors working in sub-Saharan Africa with the aim to (1) describe current AMH outcomes incorporated…
Impact of Covid-19 on Adolescent HIV Prevention and Treatment Services in the Ahisa Network
We investigated perceived impacts of COVID-19 on the delivery of adolescent HIV treatment and prevention services in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) by administering a survey to members of the Adolescent HIV Prevention and Treatment Implementation Science Alliance (AHISA) from February to April 2021. We organized COVID-19 impacts, as perceived by AHISA teams, under three themes: service interruptions, service adjustments, and perceived individual-level …
