Abstract

This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (qualitative). The objectives are as follows: To explore the views and experiences of adolescents and youth who engaged with (i.e. were approached for participation) or participated in HIV research in low-and middle-income countries. To develop a logic model or visual representation that depicts the variety of factors affecting adolescent and youth engagement in HIV-related research, and how these factors potentially work together.
