Tikambisane ‘Let’s Talk to Each Other’: A 6-session support group curriculum for adolescent girls living with HIV in Zambia
The International Center for Research on Women (ICRW), Zambart, 3C Regional Consultants and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine conducted a pilot study between September 2017 and March 2018 to assess the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary efficacy of a six-session support group intervention designed to facilitate healthy transitions to adulthood among adolescent girls aged 15-19 living with HIV in Lusaka, Zambia. The brief coming out of this study can be found here.
The resulting curriculum, which can be downloaded below or by clicking on the image to the right, addresses the following topics: getting to know you, disclosure and stigma, ART, relationships, loss and grief and planning for the future.
