The problem
Intervention: Suubi+Adherence study - an innovative asset-based social intervention designed to increase adherence to HIV treatment
Who it was tested with: HIV-infected adolescents (below 18 years) in southern Uganda.
The same group is measured before the intervention and again afterwards, with a baseline and an endline and sometimes a midline. Change is visible, but other causes cannot be ruled out.
"This study employed self-reports to measure social support, family cohesion and ART adherence to treatment from 702 participants in 39 clinics situated in southern Uganda" and "Regression results indicated that after adjusting for socio-demographic characteristics that family cohesion and social support from caregivers/family were associated with self-reported adherence to ART". The baseline findings show associations but cannot yet demonstrate whether the intervention causes improved adherence, requiring the full longitudinal results.
This is baseline data only; the full intervention outcomes are not yet reported. The study relies on self-reported measures of adherence, which may be subject to recall or social desirability bias.
