  • From research to practice

    Paul Ngangula, Louise Joel et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2026

    Despite the life-saving potential of mental health interventions, their scalability and integration within healthcare systems present significant challenges, particularly in low-resource global settings. This study investigated scaling IDEAS for Hope, a telehealth counseling intervention designed to reduce suicide risk and improve HIV care engagement among people living with HIV in Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, and identified actionable implementation s…

  • A scoping review on peer-led interventions to improve youth mental health in low- and middle-income countries

    Open AccessDana Chow, Dunstan J Matungwa et al.ARTICLECambridge Prisms Global Mental…2025

    Youth living in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) have an increased vulnerability to mental illnesses, with many lacking access to adequate treatment. There has been a growing body of interventions using task sharing with trained peer leaders to address this mental health gap. This scoping review examines the characteristics, effectiveness, components of peer delivery and challenges of peer-led mental health interventions for youth aged 10…

  • Addressing the Know-Do Gap in Adolescent HIV

    Open AccessKristin Beima‐Sofie, Irene Njuguna et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2023

    Implementation science (IS) uses systematic methods to close gaps between research and practice by identifying and addressing barriers to implementation of evidence-based interventions (EBIs). To reach UNAIDS HIV targets, IS can support programs to reach vulnerable populations and achieve sustainability. We studied the application of IS methods in 36 study protocols that were part of the Adolescent HIV Prevention and Treatment Implementation Scie…

  • Impact of Covid-19 on Adolescent HIV Prevention and Treatment Research in the Ahisa Network

    Open AccessElizabeth D Lowenthal, Stephanie M DeLong et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2022

    Members of the Adolescent HIV Prevention and Treatment Implementation Science Alliance (AHISA) network conduct research aiming to close gaps between what is known to be impactful across the HIV prevention and treatment cascade, and services delivered to optimize outcomes for adolescents/young adults (AYA) in high HIV-prevalence settings. The COVID-19 pandemic introduced new challenges which threaten to exacerbate care and access disparities. We r…

  • Using the Implementation Research Logic Model as a Lens to View Experiences of Implementing HIV Prevention and Care Interventions with Adolescent Sexual Minority Men—A Global Perspective

    Open AccessLaron E Nelson, Adedotun Ogunbajo et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2022

    Adolescents and sexual minority men (SMM) are high priority groups in the United Nations' 2021 - 2016 goals for HIV prevention and viral load suppression. Interventions aimed at optimizing HIV prevention, testing and viral load suppression for adolescents must also attend to the intersectional realities influencing key sub-populations of SMM. Consequently, there is not a robust evidence-base to guide researchers and program partners on optimal ap…

  • Low rates of child testing for HIV persist in a high-risk area of East Africa

    Kelsey O’donnell, Karen O’donnell et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2014

    Children in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) are the least touched by recent successes in the diagnosis and treatment of HIV/AIDS globally. Early treatment is essential for a child's longer and higher quality of life; however, by 2011, only a small proportion of HIV-seropositive children in LMIC countries were receiving treatment, in part because of persisting low rates of diagnosis. This study of the prevalence and characteristics of chil…
