Summary
This study evaluates the impact of clinic-based 'Adolescent Wellness Visits' (AWVs) coordinated with primary schools that offer a package of evidence-based adolescent-friendly preventative services on HIV testing uptake in Tanzania.
Participants: The clinical trial participants are approximately 1500 adolescents in their final year of primary school who will be enrolled in this cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) from 20 primary schools and followed up for two years post-primary school.
[Qualitative data from approximately 250 adult stakeholders will also be collected via focus group discussions (FGDs) and in-depth interviews (IDIs) for implementation science, non-trial related study aims] .
Procedures: Adolescent data will include surveys with self-report measures and reviews of their medical records (using REDCap). The adult qualitative data will be in the form of translated and transcribed FGD and IDI transcripts as Word documents.
