“This document provides highlights of phases one and two of a three-phase activity aimed at understanding the impact of adult HIV on children development and developing a model for predicting long-term
consequences for children affected by HIV/AIDS. Phase 1 identified areas of risk, which include psychological adjustment, cognitive impacts, nutrition, schooling, exposure to violence, and sexual health. Long-term outcomes identified in Phase 2 include disruptions in the parent-child relationship, parental death, parental mental health, attachment and institutional care, violence against children, and growth and development. The document concludes with implications for program design, program management, and policy and research.
Highlights from Phase 3 can be found at http://ovcsupport.org/resource/highlights-modeling-the-impact-of-hiv-on-affected-children/.”
