Primary outcomePrimary: AGYW Patronage (Count) — 1.0; 1.0; 1.7; 1.0 AGYW customers per observation
Summary
We will pilot an intervention to deliver sexual and reproductive health services, including HIV self-testing (HIVST) and contraception, to adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) at accredited drug dispensing outlets (ADDOs) in Shinyanga, Tanzania. In a 4-month randomized pilot study, we will compare mediating outcomes (AGYW patronage, product distribution, and referral) between 10 intervention and 10 comparison ADDOs, using data from time-location surveys of customers and inventory distribution and referral records.
