Abayneh Tanga.

Abayneh Tunje Tanga from Arba Minch in Ethiopia, is a PhD student in the research group Child and Family Health. As part of the eChildHealth research program, he will work to improve treatment outcomes among adolescents with HIV, in Ethiopia.

Tell us about your research.  
The purpose of my PhD project is to improve treatment outcomes among adolescents with HIV, by developing and testing e-health interventions that will increase HIV treatment adherence and retention in care. Poor compliance with treatment is a significant challenge among adolescents living with HIV in Ethiopia, leading to poor treatment outcomes.

How does it feel to be a part of the research team?
It feels very good. I appreciate that it is an interdisciplinary group where we can share our experiences and learn from each other.

What are you working on right now?
I collect qualitative data for the study. I’m interviewing adolescents living with HIV, transcribing the interviews and working on my manuscript.
