Psychosocial interventions for improving engagement in care and health and behavioural outcomes for adolescents and young people living with HIV: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Christina A. Laurenzi et al.

Summary: A systematic review of 30 studies revealed that psychosocial interventions have important, small-to-moderate effects on ART adherence and viral load among AYPLHIV. However, these interventions did not show significant impacts on retention in care, sexual risk behaviors and knowledge, viral suppression, undetectable viral load, or linkage to care. Effective interventions utilized digital and lay health worker delivery methods, showing promise for scaling interventions in the context of COVID-19.
