Item “I would love if there was a young woman to encourage us, to ease our anxiety which we would have if we were alone”: Adapting the mothers2mothers mentor mother model for adolescent mothers living with HIV in Malawi(Public Library of Science, 2019) Carbone, Nicole B.; Njala, Joseph; Jackson, Debra J.Pregnant and post-partum adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) living with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa experience inferior outcomes along the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) cascade compared to their adult counterparts. Yet, despite this inequality in outcomes, scarce data from the region describe AGYW perspectives to inform adolescent-sensitive PMTCT programming. In this paper, we report findings from formative implementation research examining barriers to, and facilitators of, PMTCT care for HIV-infected AGYW in Malawi, and explore strategies for adapting the mothers2mothers (m2m) Mentor Mother Model to better meet AGYW service delivery-related needs and preferences.
