BEHAVIORAL

Social Media Intervention

The social media intervention is a behavioral intervention developed by the study investigators and is delivered via mobile phones. The intervention uses the Social-ecological Model of Adolescent and Young Adult Readiness to Transition (SMART) model, highlighting modifiable targets of intervention that can be addressed through a social media platform. The SMART model incorporates modifiable factors such as knowledge, skills/self-efficacy, relationships and social support that can be targets of interventions to improve transition care. The SMART model emphasizes eight modifiable factors, three key stakeholders (adolescents, caregivers, and clinicians) and their interconnected relationship in influencing successful transition to adult care. The intervention is designed to overcome barriers and enhance facilitators to transitioning care among adolescents living with HIV who are transitioning to adult care in South Africa.
