Reaching Adolescent Girls and Young Women Through Girl-Friendly Drug Vendors
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating AGYW-Friendly Services and HIVST for HIV and Contraception. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
We will pilot an intervention to deliver sexual and reproductive health services, including HIV self-testing (HIVST) and contraception, to adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) at accredited drug dispensing outlets (ADDOs) in Shinyanga, Tanzania. In a 4-month randomized pilot study, we will compare mediating outcomes (AGYW patronage, product distribution, and referral) between 10 intervention and 10 comparison ADDOs, using data from time-location surveys of customers and inventory distribution and referral records.

Interventions
Drug shops will offer a loyalty program (the "Queen Club") through which AGYW can earn mystery prizes and discreetly request free SRH products. Drug shops will also have an SRH product display and a tablet with SRH videos for interested customers, and drug shop employees will receive training on contraceptive counseling for AGYW.
Drug shops will provide HIVST kits to AGYW for free. Employees will receive training on HIVST and will institute an HIV care referral plan for customers who require linkage to confirmatory testing or treatment.
