Intervention Development for Newly Diagnosed Youth With HIV

Completed

Conditions studied: HIV

In brief

This study is an exploratory qualitative investigation of the challenges, strengths, and needed areas of support associated with receiving an HIV diagnosis among youth living with HIV. Qualitative interviews will be conducted with health care providers who work with adolescents living with HIV and focus groups will be conducted with adolescents who are living with HIV (ages 16-24). One third of the focus groups will be conducted in Spanish. Findings from this study will be used to create an outline and development plan for a culturally-sensitive and developmentally appropriate intervention (or set of interventions) for youth recently diagnosed with HIV.
