Better Together: acceptability, feasibility and preliminary impact of chronic illness peer support groups for South African adolescents and young adults
CONCLUSIONS: Recurring, clinic-based peer support groups that integrate youth living with HIV and other chronic diseases are novel. Group sustainability will depend on the commitment of experienced peer leaders and providers, routine scheduling and transportation support. A fully powered randomised trial is needed to test the optimal implementation and causal mental health effects of the Better Together model.PMID:37909178 | PMC:PMC10618872 | DOI:10.1002/jia2.26148
