This is the data utilized for the analysis for the study title "Acceptability,
feasibility, and efficacy of Combination income-generation HIV risk-reduction
intervention for in-school adolescent girls in Nigeria: A Quasi-experiment". Study Abstract is provided below:
Background: There has been increasing interest in equipping adolescent girls and women with economic assets to reduce their vulnerabilities and risk to HIV . To our knowledge, however, there is a lack of empirical evidence on the implementation of HIV prevention interventions that combine income-generating activities for adolescent girls in Nigeria. This study examined the acceptability, feasibility and efficacy of a theory-based combination income-generating HIV prevention intervention designed to promote risk-reduction intentions and efficacy among adolescent girls in Nigeria. Methods: The intervention was guided by the asset, social cognitive, and empowerment theories. In a quasi-experimental design, participants who received a combination HIV prevention intervention (4 sessions of HIV risk-reduction education + jewelry micro-enterprise training + youth development micro-credit for jewelry micro-enterprise) (n=142) were compared to participants who received HIV risk-reduction education only (n=177). Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire at baseline (T0) , immediately after intervention completion (T1), and six months post-intervention (T2). A multi-level regression was conducted to examine the intervention effect on study outcomes. Focus group discussions were conducted to examine intervention acceptability. Results: Participants in the intervention group showed a significant increase in safe sex efficacy and reductions in sexual risk-taking intentions (both P<0.05) over time compared to the comparison group. Feedback from focus group discussions suggested that the intervention was acceptable and appropriate to address HIV risk-reduction among adolescent girls in Nigeria. Although less than 70% of participants were retained at T2, the intervention was moderately feasibility, as assessed by the success in participant recruitment and retention at T1. Conclusions: Promoting combination income-generating HIV prevention intervention among adolescent girls in Nigeria may help promote HIV risk reduction by increasing safe sex self-efficacy and reducing sexual risk-taking intentions.
