Filter by:This study will test the effectiveness of a youth-designed multilevel intervention, Tu'Washindi, to increase PrEP use and reduce intimate partner violence (IPV) among Kenyan AGYW and to identify implementation challenges and strategies to facilitate future scale-up in programmatic settings to maximize public health impact. Through a cluster randomized controlled trial (cRCT) design, twenty-two administrative wards in Siaya County, western Kenya will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either the 6-month Tu'Washindi intervention plus usual HIV prevention services or usual HIV prevention services alone. Approximately 72 AGYW will be enrolled from each ward (N= 1,584), with follow-up visits at months 3, 6, and 12 post-enrollment. A mixed methods process evaluation will also be conducted using programmatic data, follow-up questionnaires from trial participants, approximately 500-1000 exit surveys with men, and approximately 100 qualitative interviews with AGYW participants, male partners, and intervention providers. These data will characterize fidelity and quality of intervention implementation, explore and test mechanisms of change, and capture contextual factors influencing intervention outcomes, with the goal of informing future refinement and implementation. The population for this study is AGYW ages 15-24 in Siaya County, Kenya; their male partners, ages 15 or older; and health providers delivering the intervention, ages 18 and above, who are working with this population.
This project seeks to develop interactive treatment options to successfully reduce AUD and IPV concurrently. The purpose of the study is to examine the usability, feasibility, and acceptability of wearable activity trackers (like a smart watch) and use of a cell phone application (app) among couples. The investigators are also testing the use of this device and app will affect alcohol use and couple conflict. This study involves a screening phase and a 28 observation period where participants are asked to wear a smart watch, complete assessments and provide feedback.
