Supporting Adolescents to Adhere (SATA): Lessons learned from an intervention to achieve medication adherence targets among youth living with HIV in Uganda.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Youth in Uganda are disproportionately impacted by HIV and report significant barriers to ART adherence. We asked participants how fixed versus flexible adherence target setting for incentive interventions, in combination with other support systems, could help HIV-positive youth in Uganda reach medication adherence targets.

Methods

Four focus groups conducted in Luganda were audiotaped, transcribed, and translated into English; the transcriptions were then coded using Dedoose software. Two members of the research team read the text and identified the basic topics covered. A codebook was developed that detailed inclusion and exclusion criteria for each topic area, as well as typical entries for each code. A directed content analysis was used to identify key theme
