Integrating a mental health intervention into PrEP services for South African young women: a human-centered implementation research approach to intervention development

Publication Year: 2024
Contributing Organisation: University of California San Francisco
Authors: Jennifer Velloza, Nomhle Ndimande-Khoza, and Lisa Mills
Learning Themes: Measurement & Evaluation

Adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) who may benefit from HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) face
high levels of common mental disorders (e.g. depression, anxiety). Common mental disorders can reduce PrEP adherence and increase HIV risk, yet mental health interventions have not been well-integrated into PrEP delivery.
We conducted a four-phase human-centred design process, from December 2020 to April 2022, to understand
mental health challenges among AGYW in Johannesburg, South Africa and barriers to integrated mental health and PrEP services.
