Developing appropriate methodologies to measure resilience in the context of HIV, especially among young mothers, is a critical first step to filling this gap. We aimed to improve the relevance, and comprehensibility of an open-access resilience measure for use among young mothers living in HIV-endemic communities in South Africa. This paper summarizes a two-stage study that was carried out in the Eastern Cape, South Africa.</p></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><p>First, n = 9 cognitive interviews were conducted to inform the adaptation of the Child and Youth Resilience Measure Revised (CYRM-R) for use among young mothers (n = 7 living with HIV). The adapted measure was applied in remote interviews with 892 adolescent mothers during the COVID-19 pandemic (December 2021–April 2023). We investigated the basic psychometric properties of the adapted measure using STATA16.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>Cognitive interviews offered unique perspectives on how to modify items in English and isiXhosa, including items that had similar understandings and responses, with new probes and additional key words added to seven items. Participants' understanding of item wording and the translation of items resulted in word changes or substitution to maximise participants’ understanding of eight out of 17 items. The utilization of vignettes proved to be useful in engaging participants to reflect on their experiences. The revised scale had moderate psychometric properties. The EFA confirmed a two-factor structure, and the internal consistency of the CYRM-R was moderate (α = 0.75; ω = 0.75).</p></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>Cognitive interviews supported the adaptation of a resilience measure for adolescent mothers affected by HIV in South Africa. Initial psychometric properties highlight possible further adaptations needed, potentially due to the unique population of adolescent mothers.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":74861,"journal":{"name":"SSM.

Directors and workers recognized that Google Drive facilitated access to user information, since they did not have an electronic medical record. Additionally, workers said they used social media to share educational information on mental health, and explained that some new users began their treatment this way.

Implementing universal, school-based psychosocial interventions can improve short- and long-term health trajectories for adolescents. While these interventions may offer important opportunities for fostering skills and relationships, few school-based interventions have been developed for and tested in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where adolescent mental health needs may be significant and under-served. This manuscript details the development of a multi-component, universal school-based intervention, Health Action in ScHools for a Thriving Adolescent Generation (HASHTAG), for adolescents aged 12–15 years in Nepal and South Africa.</p></div><div><h3>Methods and results</h3><p>We describe HASHTAG's development over four phases, combining methods and results as each phase was iteratively conducted between 2018 and 2021. Phase 1 included a systematic review and components analysis, building from WHO guidelines for adolescent mental health. Seven components were strongly supported by the evidence: emotional regulation, stress management, mindfulness, problem-solving, interpersonal skills, assertiveness training, and alcohol and drug education. Phase 2 encompassed site selection, theory of change development, and formative research engagements; research teams in each site engaged adolescents and key adult stakeholders to identify priorities for intervention. Stakeholders voiced preferences for external facilitators and key content and delivery for intervention sessions. These findings informed Phase 3, a draft manual of HASHTAG, including a whole-school component, called Thriving Environment in Schools, and a classroom-based, six-session component, Thrive Together. In Phase 4, participants engaged in consultative workshops to review and contextualise content by country, preparing HASHTAG for implementation in a feasibility trial. Minor adaptations were made in Nepal, including using school nurses and adjusting take-home materials; both country's workshops identified practical considerations for implementing activities.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><p>HASHTAG was designed around core evidence-based components to increase translatability across LMICs, while enabling country-specific tailoring to enhance feasibility. Future research will test whether this multi-component, whole-school approach can improve adolescent mental health.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":74861,"journal":{"name":"SSM.
