5 INTRODUCTION Adlescents (ages 10 19) and yuth (ages 15 24) bear a disprprtinate share f the HIV burden, especially in sub-saharan Africa. Hwever, little is knwn abut what prjects are ding t make their interventins adlescent- and yuth-friendly and what interventins are effective fr changing HIV-related utcmes fr these age grups. Prgram managers and plicymakers have little rigrus evidence n hw best t invest resurces t achieve targets amng adlescents and yung peple. Recgnizing this evidence gap, MEASURE Evaluatin funded by the U.S. Agency fr Internatinal Develpment (USAID) reviewed the evidence n adlescent- and yuth-friendly HIV services as a cntributin t the gal f an AIDS-free generatin that the U.S. President s Emergency Plan fr AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) is pursuing. This review had three bjectives: (1) dcument knwledge f what is wrking and what is nt wrking in terms f delivering adlescent- and yuth-friendly HIV services, and why strategies and prgram activities wrk r d nt wrk; (2) identify useful lessns learned abut key elements f successful adlescent- and yuth-friendly HIV services; and (3) prmte the use and adaptatin f best practices fr adlescent- and yuth-friendly HIV services in rder t imprve the quality f HIV services delivered t yung peple and t attract adlescents and yuth t retain them in thse services. Best Practices fr Adlescent- and Yuth-Friendly HIV Services: A Cmpendium f Selected Prjects in PEPFAR-Supprted Cuntries reflects the results f a call fr best-practices prpsals and an examinatin f peer-reviewed and gray literature in 22 PEPFAR-supprted cuntries. These guidelines are a cmpanin t that dcument. The 13 prjects cvered in the cmpendium are thse we received permissin t summarize. A review grup graded the prjects using well-established criteria. These criteria were adlescent and yuth invlvement, relevance, effectiveness/impact, reach, feasibility, sustainability, replicability r transferability, ethical sundness, and efficiency. Seven best practices, fur prmising practices, and tw emerging practices were identified, f which five prvided strng evidence needed t recmmend pririties fr actin. Best practices are (1) Adlescent-friendly Vluntary Medical Male Circumcisin Prject, in Suth Africa; (2) Futbl para la Vida (Deprtes para la Vida), in Dminican Republic; (3) Mema kwa Vijana, in the United Republic f Tanzania, (4) One2ne Integrated Digital Platfrm, in Kenya; (5) Supprting Yuth and Mtivating Psitive Actin (SYMPA), in the Demcratic Republic f the Cng; (6) Prgram H, in Ethipia and Namibia; and (7) Zvandiri Prject, in Zimbabwe. Prmising practices are (1) Integrated Prject against HIV/AIDS, in Chibmb District, Zambia; (2) Prject Accept, in Suth Africa, United Republic f Tanzania, and Zimbabwe; (3) Sunbursts Prject, in Kenya; and (4) Tlkit and Training Manual fr Transitin f Care and Other Services fr Adlescents with HIV. Emerging practices are (1) Feel the Future, in Malawi; and (2) Yuth Vluntary Cunseling and Testing, in Btswana. (Fr details n all f these, see Table 1). The interventins these prjects prvided were classified int fur grups accrding t cmmn characteristics and chices that prgram managers and plicymakers might have t make when deciding what t d: Clinic-based interventins with r withut a cmmunity cmpnent Clinic-based and schl-based interventins with r withut a cmmunity cmpnent Cmmunity-based interventins Mbile- and web-based interventins Guidelines n Best Practices fr Yuth-Friendly HIV Services 5

6 MAKING PROJECTS ADOLESCENT- AND YOUTH-FRIENDLY At the prgram design and implementatin levels, prjects tk several initiatives t make their interventins adlescent- and yuth-friendly. Meaningful engagement f adlescents and yuth in prgram design and implementatin Increasing accessibility t services, by extending services t after-schl hurs, establishing adlescent centers run by trained adlescents and yuth within health facilities, and prviding mbile HIV testing services in venues easily accessible by yuth Affrdable fees r free services (e.g., free HIV testing, free cndms, and free medical care fr adlescents and yuth living with HIV [AYLHIV]) Linkages between schls, yuth clubs, yuth crners, and ther yuth-friendly institutins Prviding alternative ways t access infrmatin, cunseling, r services (e.g., use f digital technlgies thrugh mbile- r web-based platfrms and cartn vides) Training staff t prvide adlescent- and yuth-friendly services Maintaining privacy and cnfidentiality (e.g., cnducting mck circumcisin fr male adlescents and yuth wh test psitive fr HIV, t maintain cnfidentiality and reduce stigma) Peer cunseling n risk reductin, safer sex, vluntary cunseling and testing fr HIV, and adherence t antiretrviral drugs 6 Guidelines n Best Practices fr Yuth-Friendly HIV Services

7 IMPACT ON ADOLESCENT AND YOUTH HIV-RELATED OUTCOMES Five prjects were categrized as having rigrus evaluatin designs (experimental studies with randm assignment t an interventin r cntrl cnditin r quasi-experimental designs invlving cmparisn grups withut randm assignment): Futbl para la Vida, Mema kwa Vijana, Prgram H, Zvandiri prject, and Prject Accept. Based n the results f the impact evaluatins, prjects were categrized in five nnmutually exclusive grups: Effective fr HIV-related and attitudinal utcmes (e.g., Mema kwa Vijana and Prgram H) Effective fr HIV-related behaviral utcmes Sexual behavir (MEMA kwa Vijana) Cndm use (MEMA kwa Vijana) Intimate partner vilence (Prgram H) HIV testing (Prject Accept) Disclsure and adherence t antiretrviral therapy (Zvandiri prject) Nt effective fr HIV-related behaviral utcmes Sexual behavir (Prject Accept) Effective fr HIV-related bilgical utcmes Clinical symptms and signs f sexually transmitted infectin (STI) (MEMA kwa Vijana) Nt effective fr HIV-related bilgical utcmes HIV incidence and HSV2 prevalence (MEMA kwa Vijana) Eight prjects used nnrigrus r qualitative evaluatin designs. In sme cases, these prjects fund psitive effects n HIV-related knwledge, attitudes, and behaviral utcmes. Nnrigrus designs are ften cst-effective fr establishing the need fr and reach f an interventin and fr building the evidence base. Hwever, prgress in identifying effective strategies t meet the HIV-related needs f adlescents and yuth depends n the use f mre rigrus methds fr determining what wrks, fr hw lng, and fr whm. Guidelines n Best Practices fr Yuth-Friendly HIV Services 7

8 LESSONS LEARNED FROM THESE PROJECTS Clinic-based interventins with r withut a cmmunity cmpnent When implementing curricula amng HIV-psitive yuth, it is t be nted that the educatinal level f participants can vary. Outside f schl-based settings, specific activities requiring written respnses wuld need t be adapted fr adlescents and yuth wh are unable t write (SYMPA prject). T manage the unique needs f adlescents and yuth wh are living with HIV, individualized transitin-t-adult care prgrams must be built (Tlkit and Training Manual) In a cntext where few health facilities ffer HIV services that are tailred t adlescents and yuth, cunselrs are able t reach mre adlescents and yuth during mbile testing as ppsed t fixed-site service delivery (Prject Accept and Yuth VCT [Vluntary Cunseling and Testing] Prject) Clinic-based and schl-based interventins with r withut a cmmunity cmpnent Cmmunity invlvement and cnsultatins are critical fr creating an enabling envirnment fr recruitment f in-schl adlescents fr VMMC services (Adlescent- Friendly VMMC Prject). A single training during scale-up f a schl-based curriculum appears t be insufficient t impart skills required t teach the psychscial aspects f the curriculum. Systematic preservice training f teachers wuld be mre cst-efficient (MEMA kwa Vijana). Cmmunity-based interventins Invlvement f lcal peple and cmmunity-based gvernmental and nngvernmental rganizatins is critical t success in imprving HIV-related knwledge and attitudes amng adlescents and yuth (Futbl para la Vida/Deprtes para la Vida). If HIV-testing services are prvided in cnvenient and accessible lcatins such as markets, churches, cmmunity and shpping centers, and transprtatin hubs, adlescents and yuth will make use f the services and new ppulatins nt serviced by facility-based services can be reached (Prject Accept). There is n magic bullet fr cmmunity mbilizatin. Strategies used in varying cmbinatins are stakehlder buy-in; cmmunity calitin building; direct cmmunity engagement; cmmunity participatin in prject-related activities; raising cmmunity awareness; invlving cmmunity leaders; and creating partnerships with lcal rganizatins (Prject Accept). Mbile and web-based interventins Mbile platfrms are a crucial delivery pint fr adlescents and yuth, because these age grups favr them and als because they are annymus. Annymity makes it easier fr adlescents and yuth t ask questins and seek advice abut health issues (One2One Integrated Digital Platfrm [OIDP]). 8 Guidelines n Best Practices fr Yuth-Friendly HIV Services

9 POTENTIAL FOR SUSTAINABILITY Sustainability was interpreted in terms f sustaining prject activities, transferring best practices t ther prgrams and settings, identifying new funding streams, and maintaining imprved health utcmes fr adlescents and yuth ver time. Prjects identified several factrs that cntribute t the sustainability f their adlescent- and yuth-friendly practices: Integratin f prject activities in existing health systems and gvernment and cmmunity structures Cmmunity buy-in and advcacy fr the prject Cllabrative relatinships and partnerships Crdinating funding frm multiple surces t sustain the prject Evaluatin results demnstrating that the prject is making a difference Hwever, unless partnerships are built with cmmunities, gvernments, and lcal rganizatins right at the prgram design stage, and unless cmmunities are taught hw t secure cntinued funding and ther supprt, even prgrams that rigrus evaluatins have shwn t wrk may nt cntinue beynd the life f the initial interventin. Guidelines n Best Practices fr Yuth-Friendly HIV Services 9

10 ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS Prgrams shuld dcument their activities in detail t clarify what is being dne and the expected utcmes. Mst prgrams need high-quality mnitring and impact evaluatin f interventins amng adlescents and yuth. Where pssible, future evaluatins shuld use randmized r quasiexperimental designs t strengthen the evidence. Mre research is needed n the practices that are best fr engaging adlescents and yuth in planning, implementing, and evaluating HIV preventin, care, treatment, and retentin services. Studies are needed t identify features r characteristics that increase the effectiveness f adlescent- and yuth-friendly HIV prgrams. Prgrams need t make substantial investment in prviding estimates f prgram efficiency and estimates f cst-effectiveness. These data were lacking (r nt in the public dmain) fr mst prjects included in these guidelines. During scale-up f adlescent- and yuth-friendly interventins that have been prven t be effective, attentin must be paid t maintaining an interventin s quality (e.g., prviding a supprtive implementatin infrastructure, nging capacity strengthening activities fr prgram implementers, and increased attentin t supprtive supervisin and mnitring). Assessment f the lng-term impact f prgrams is needed. Adequate funding must be allcated fr rigrus impact evaluatin, fr assessments f prgram efficiency, and t strengthen the methdlgical expertise f implementing partners and research staff in PEPFAR-supprted cuntries. 10 Guidelines n Best Practices fr Yuth-Friendly HIV Services
