New Clinical Trial: Bridges2Scale: Testing Implementation Strategies (NCT06347146)
WHY IT MATTERS
This trial is testing implementation strategies for HIV/AIDS support programs in adolescents and youth in Uganda, which could improve how effective HIV care and education reaches young people in resource-limited settings.
Researchers are testing two different ways to bring a program called Bridges to more schools in Uganda. Bridges helps young people (ages 11-17) who are living with HIV/AIDS learn about their health and get support. This study will compare whether a standard approach or an enhanced approach works better at getting the program into 48 schools in the Greater Masaka region.
