Intervention fidelity and factors affecting the process of a mobile phone text messaging intervention among adolescents living with HIV: A convergent mixed methods study in southern Ethiopia

Objective: To assess the intervention fidelity and explore contextual factors affecting the process of a mobile phone text messaging intervention in improving adherence to and retention in care among adolescents living with HIV, their families, and their healthcare providers in southern Ethiopia. Design: A convergent mixed-methods design guided by the process evaluation theoretical framework and the RE-AIM framework was used alongside a randomised controlled trial to examine the fidelity and explore the experiences of participants in the intervention. Setting: Six hospitals and five health centres providing HIV treatment and care to adolescents in five zones in southern Ethiopia. Participants: adolescents (aged 10–19), their families and their healthcare providers. Intervention: Mobile phone text messages daily for 6 months or standard care (control). Results: 306 participants were enrolled in the process evaluation.
