Can money skills and mentors shield AIDS orphans from HIV?
NCT ID NCT06347146
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two methods of rolling out a program called Bridges, which gives financial literacy training and one-on-one mentors to 1,440 teens aged 11-17 who lost parents to AIDS in Uganda. The goal is to see which approach works better at reducing HIV risk and improving economic stability. Researchers will track how well the program is delivered and its impact on teen behavior and health.
