Background Mental health disorders such as high levels of anxiety, isolation, depression and suicide ideation reported among young people living with HIV (10–24 years;YPLHIV) contribute significantly to poor medication adherence and retention in care. While there is evidence supporting the role of psychosocial support interventions in promoting adherence and retention in antiretroviral treatment (ART) among adults living with HIV, there is little evidence on the role of psychosocial support on medication adherence among YPLHIV. This scoping review was designed to identify and classify the types and effects of psychosocial support interventions designed to improve adherence and retention in ART among YPLHIV globally. Method We searched six electronic databases (i.e., Scopus, Pubmed and EBSCOHost (Academic Search Premier, CINAHL, Psycarticles and Medline). Six relevant articles published between 2011 and 2019 met our inclusion criteria. We extracted information relevant to the nature and outcomes of the reported interventions using thematic content analysis informed by the Population, Intervention, comparison, outcome, and time (PICOT) framework. Results Four distinctive treatment modalities that focused on improving ART adherence and retention in care were identified: individual counselling, support groups, family-centered services, and treatment supporters. Conclusion There is a dearth of psychosocial support interventions to improve adherence and retention in ART amongst adolescents and young adults living with HIV. Future research and programming should seek to address psychosocial support interventions or approaches specifically designed to address the needs of YPLHIV.

“…Interventions such as counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy, and peer support have been applied to improve the mental health and overall well-being of people living with HIV over 18 years with success [21], supporting the role of psychosocial support interventions in promoting adherence and retention in ART care among adults living with HIV [22]. Nevertheless, there is little evidence on the nature and role of psychosocial support for YPLHIV [23]. To this end, in this review, we sought to identify, classify and assess the types and effects of psychosocial support interventions focused on improving adherence and retention in care among YPLHIV on ART in the current existing literature.…”

INTRODUCTION: Asthma is a chronic condition affecting between 300 and 400 million people worldwide. Studies have shown that asthma symptoms can be controlled by the daily use of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). The management of asthma varies in different settings.METHODS: Asthma management in 13 sub-Saharan African countries was compared to the 2018 Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) guidelines and the 20th WHO model list of essential medicines (2019). A table with predefined criteria extracted from the international guidelines was used to analyse the content and compare the different treatment guidelines using an Excel spreadsheet.RESULTS: There are variations in the way asthma is diagnosed and treated in different countries. Countries with older treatment guidelines do not have a stepwise approach to assessing severity as stipulated by GINA. Of the 13 countries, only 46% have inhaled ICS at the primary level, 38% have ICS at the secondary level and 16% do not specify.CONCLUSION: The management of asthma varies widely between different countries in sub-Saharan Africa. The noticed variations in approach to care can be explored as an opportunity to harness resources to produce similar and updated guidelines, resulting in uniformity of care across different countries.
