Eight participant observations of sessions were conducted.

Co-facilitation by an adult counselor and peers living with HIV raised confidence about session content. Sessions on antiretroviral therapy (ART), disclosure and stigma, and grief and loss were most in demand. We did not observe significant differences in key outcome measures between baseline and follow-up. However, qualitative data supported the positive impact of the intervention on ART adherence and hope for the future following the intervention among our participants.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A short-term, structured support group series holds promise for helping AGYW living with HIV safely navigate a complex time in their lives.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/23259582211024772","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,2]],"date-time":"2021-07-02T05:08:25Z","timestamp":1625202505000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Feasibility, Acceptability and Preliminary Efficacy of Tikambisane (\u2018Let\u2019s Talk to Each Other\u2019): A Pilot Support Group Intervention for Adolescent Girls Living With HIV in Zambia"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9325-5077","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anne L.","family":"Stangl","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Global Health, Youth and Development, International Center for Research on Women, Washington DC, USA"},{"name":"Hera Solutions, Owings Mills, MD, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mwangala","family":"Mwale","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Social Science Unit, Zambart, School of Public Health, University of Zambia, Ridgeway Campus, Lusaka, Zambia, Africa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Meroji","family":"Sebany","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Global Health, Youth and Development, International Center for Research on Women, Washington DC, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Constance RS","family":"Mackworth-Young","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Social Science Unit, Zambart, School of Public Health, University of Zambia, Ridgeway Campus, Lusaka, Zambia, Africa"},{"name":"Department of Global Health and Development, Faculty of Public Health and Policy, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London, WC, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chipo","family":"Chiiya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"3C Regional Consultants, Lusaka, Zambia, Africa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mutale","family":"Chonta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"3C Regional Consultants, Lusaka, Zambia, Africa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sue","family":"Clay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"3C Regional Consultants, Lusaka, Zambia, Africa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kirsty","family":"Sievwright","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of International Health, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, MD, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Virginia","family":"Bond","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Social Science Unit, Zambart, School of Public Health, University of Zambia, Ridgeway Campus, Lusaka, Zambia, Africa"},{"name":"Department of Global Health and Development, Faculty of Public Health and Policy, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London, WC, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-23259582211024772","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.socscimed.2011.05.044"},{"key":"bibr2-23259582211024772","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3325\/cmj.2008.3.423"},{"key":"bibr3-23259582211024772","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7448\/IAS.18.1.19358"},{"key":"bibr4-23259582211024772","volume-title":"Women and HIV -
