Concept Clearance » Understanding and Addressing the Multi-Level Influences on the Use of HIV Prevention Strategies among Young Women in Sub-Saharan Africa

This initiative aims to: (1) enhance our understanding of the multiple factors that influence HIV prevention strategy use among adolescent girls and young women in sub-Saharan Africa, by looking at the multiple levels of influence on adolescent girls and young women’s behavior (i.e., individual, peer, partner, family, and community, as well as cultural and social norms) that may influence uptake and adherence; and, (2) develop and test novel interventions to address these factors and enhance the uptake and adherence to HIV prevention strategies among adolescent girls and young women in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).
