Adolescents Trials Network - SIU Program

Adolescents Trials Network (ATN) Scale It Up (SIU) Implementation-Effectiveness Research

This program has ended and further information is available: contact Dr. Sylvie Naar via email.
Funded by NIH NICHD, Grant No. U19HD089875. 
Principal Investigator: Sylvie Naar, PhD, Director CTBScience; Distinguished Endowed Professor, Department of Behavioral Sciences and Social Medicine, FSU College of Medicine 

Specific Aims 

Scale It Up has assembled research teams who are developing, testing, and bringing to practice self-management interventions that positively impact the youth HIV prevention and care cascades. We are achieving these goals by:

  1. Designing, conducting, and evaluating self-management interventions, grounded in the 5-component Self-Management Model and expeditiously moving them into practice.
  2. Developing, deploying, and disseminating new methods for implementation and implementation analysis with a strong theoretical foundation (EPIS).
  3. Engaging with the other funded U19s to identify additional opportunities to advance the fields of implementation science and self-management science.
