Mental Health and Antiretroviral Treatment Adherence among Adolescents Living with HIV: Evidence on Risk Pathways and Protective Factors

This Evidence to Action Brief was made possible through UNICEF’s partnership with University of Oxford and University of Cape Town under the 2gether 4 SRHR programme to help translate new evidence into improved programming and outcomes. Building on research findings and effective interventions in low and middle-income countries, this brief identifies key risks, including bullying and stigma, and facilitators, such as positive parenting and social support, that influence pathways between mental health and HIV outcomes for adolescents. It is part of a broader series that aims to support the translation of research into improved adolescent SRHR and HIV programming.
