Family Connections Cluster RCT in Zambia

This study will evaluate the impact of Family Connections, a family-based group intervention for adolescents and young adults (AYA) living with HIV and their family caregivers, on AYA viral status. The intervention seeks to increase social and family support and decrease self-stigma among AYA, so they may improve their medication adherence and achieve an undetectable viral load. Findings will fill a critical gap in available evidence-based intervention options for improving the HIV-related outcomes and wellbeing of HIV-positive AYA in sub-Saharan Africa.
