How Youth Global Platform on HIV/AIDS can provide measurable results!?
Discussion details
International Organizations have been asking "how this platform can provide measurable results"?
The answer to your question is now here:
The Youth Global platform on Hiv/aids can provide measurable results by tracking key HIV prevention and treatment indicators within its peer-led online community, such as increases in knowledge of HIV, reported use of condoms and testing services, medication adherence, and a reduction in new infections. Results can be measured through surveys on knowledge and behavior, the uptake of HIV services and testing, and data on viral suppression for those living with HIV, all using a peer-to-peer support model to empower young people to become agents of change in the epidemic.
Strategies for Measurable Results
Knowledge & Awareness:
Surveys: Administer regular surveys to platform members to assess their comprehension of HIV prevention, transmission, and treatment options.
Information Dissemination: Track the number of information resources shared and accessed on the platform to gauge the reach of awareness campaigns.
Behavior Change:
Self-Reported Data: Implement surveys to measure the frequency of safe behaviors, such as condom use during last sexual intercourse and uptake of HIV testing services.
Community Health: Monitor community mobilization efforts where peer educators mobilize peers and form health clubs.
Access to Services:
Testing and Counselling: Measure the number of young people encouraged to get tested and the rate at which they access counseling and testing services.
PrEP Uptake: Track the number of platform members who are aware of and engaging in Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) to reduce the risk of HIV infection.
Clinical Outcomes (for those living with HIV):
Medication Adherence: Use online tools to track self-reported medication adherence and health-related quality of life among platform members living with HIV.
Viral Load Monitoring: Track the number of members who are on treatment and achieve viral suppression, which indicates the treatment is working effectively.
Empowerment & Stigma Reduction:
Community Engagement: Document the number of peer-to-peer support interactions, the creation of youth-led health clubs, and participation in anti-stigma campaigns.
Scorecards: Use scorecard systems to enable youth to monitor their own health services, providing feedback on the quality of care and their experience with healthcare providers.
It is important to remember that the rational for this platform is to provide formative empowerment on HIV/AIDS for adolescents and young people to enhance universal youth response to HIV/AIDS.
We invite funders, partners, and investors who share our vision to join us in scaling this 13 years old online platform for resilient sustainability worldwide.
