Research Topic

I don’t have one yet. However I am doing a process evaluation of a pilot project. I am mainly looking at caregiver-led disclosure to HIV positive children. I have not finalized my research method. However, as I am doing a qualitative study, I believe that I will conduct semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and make use of secondary data by going through patient records at the clinic of interest.
