Child Community Care Study
The Child Community Care Study is a multinational study of over 1,200 children aged 4 to 13 years old and affected by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) alongside their caregivers in South Africa, Malawi, and Zambia. Participants were recruited across 34 community-based organisations providing community-based psychosocial support and services to children and families infected and affected by HIV, which were randomly selected from a total of 558 organisations to reflect the size of the population in each country.
