“…This multi-methods study uses cross-sectional data collected as part of an embedded COVID-19 study ( Kukaa Salama ) within the parent cohort study, the Tushirikiane HIV self-testing randomized control trial (RCT) conducted with refugee adolescent youth in Kampala, Uganda ( Logie et al, 2021 ). The intervention and primary outcomes for Tushirikiane ( Logie et al, 2021 , 2023 ) and Kukaa Salama ( Logie et al, 2021 , 2023 ) have been described elsewhere.
