What is PEBRA?
In close collaboration with various local stakeholders in Lesotho, we designed a health service delivery model specifically for adolescents living with HIV, called the PEBRA model.

THE PEBRA STUDY
The PEBRA model including PEBRApp will be evaluated in a cluster-randomized trial, running for over one year to assess if the model leads to better health outcomes among adolescents living with HIV in Lesotho. The PEBRA trial is a cluster randomized, open-label, superiority trial in rural Lesotho. The clusters (health facilities) are randomized into two groups (intervention and control) in a 1:1 allocation stratified by district.
