Resources

The network and its members have developed a number of publications, toolkits, and other resources that further adolescent HIV and implementation science efforts.

• Adolescents in Research Toolkit: the toolkit is an online comprehensive clinical, logical, ethical-legal resource to facilitate the safe and effective involvement of adolescents in the implementation of health and other related research in sub-Saharan Africa.
• AHI(SA)2 Delphi Analysis: The AHI(SA)2 team and AHISA Network colleagues completed a systematic review and modified Delphi analysis of interventions addressing the HIV continuum of care for adolescents in South Africa.

AIDS and Behavior
