Project YES! Trial Data on HIV-Positive Youth in Ndola, Zambia

Project YES! is a randomized controlled trial assessing a peer mentoring program's impact on viral suppression, adherence, and stigma among HIV-positive youth (15–24 years) in Ndola, Zambia. The trial involved 273 participants across four clinics from December 2017 to February 2019. Data includes survey results and blood samples collected at baseline and six-month follow-up.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the impact of peer mentoring on viral suppression rates based on trial results.
• Modeling changes in internalized stigma over time based on survey data.
• Comparing health outcomes between pediatric and adult clinic settings as described in the stratified analysis.
• Evaluating antiretroviral treatment adherence gaps across different study arms.

Strengths

• Data originates from a randomized controlled trial, a strong study design for causal inference.
• Includes 273 participants with measurements at two time points (baseline and six-month midline).
• Specific outcome metrics are provided, such as viral suppression percentages and stigma reduction odds ratios.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
