A University at Buffalo researcher who studies adolescent HIV prevention in African and diaspora communities was invited to contribute a commentary in the April issue of The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health. Gloria Aidoo-Frimpong’s commentary discusses the significance of a major randomized, controlled trial evaluating Tumaini, a digital narrative game designed to support HIV prevention among adolescents, and what the Tumaini trial signals about the future of HIV prevention for young people. Her commentary examines how developmentally appropriate digital interventions, such as interactive storytelling and game-based learning, can play a key role in engaging adolescents earlier in prevention efforts.
