Project Description
South Africa (SA) is home to the largest number of people with HIV (PWH) in the world. Community Health Worker (CHW) programs have been rolled out to improve HIV care engagement in SA, yet mental health (MH) conditions, particularly depression and harmful alcohol use, are prevalent non-communicable diseases that remain significant barriers to care engagement, which CHWs often lack training for addressing. This study will develop home-based CHW training program to improve HIV care engagement among patients with common MH challenges and understand how to shift clinic-based interventions to home-based delivery.
