Access to Lectures | Speaker

ln this paper we share the way in which one of the assumptions at the outset of a longitudinal study of the resilience of HIV-positive mothers and their children, is challenged four years into the study - with specific reference to the employment status of the participants. The Kgolo Mmogo project investigates the resilience factors in mothers (n=440) and children (n=440) who are dealing with the affect and effects of HIV & AIDS. The study consists of long-term data collection on psychological resilience factors in both groups. The assessment data is paralleled by intervention research that tracks the effects of a group-based support intervention in which mothers and children are assigned to groups within a randomized control trial design.
