The CHIEDZA Project investigated the impact of a community-based package of integrated HIV services and sexual and reproductive health services (SRH), and general health counselling, for youth on HIV and other health outcomes in a high HIV prevalence setting.
CHIEDZA was a cluster-randomised trial conducted in 3 provinces in Zimbabwe. 24 urban and peri-urban clusters were randomly allocated to receive a community-based integrated SRH service for young people weekly for 30 months, or standard of care. A community-level prevalence survey was conducted to measure population-level outcomes in young people.
This record contains a manual of operations for the trial, the data codebook, and Stata DO files for processing the data.
