Depression and psychological distress are much more common among Y-PLWH than in the general population, and are associated with significantly worse adherence to care and treatment when compared to Y-PLWH without these co-morbid conditions. Thus, untreated depression and severe psychological distress are important contributors to poor HIV outcomes in this population. Nigeria is home to the 4th largest HIV population globally and 10% of Y-PLWH, but mental health screening is not routinely conducted in this setting, and less than 10% of those diagnosed have access to evidence-based care. Despite this treatment gap, few interventions have targeted the mental health needs of Y-PLWH in Africa. The World Health Organization recommends that caregivers of Y-PLWH adopt youth-friendly strategies and incorporate psychosocial services to meet their needs, and that task shifting to non-specialized health workers be used to overcome the dearth of trained professionals in low and middle-income countries. Task-shifted problem Solving Therapy (PST) has been effectively used to treat both depression and psychological distress using a task-shifted approach. However, PST is an intensive strategy (typically 6-15 weekly sessions) often delivered in-person and poor completion rates are associated with less effectiveness. Mobile health technologies may be uniquely suited to surmount some of the obstacles for effective A theory-grounded game, Change My Story, has been developed which allows players navigate difficult experiences based on drivers of psychological distress and interact with a virtual environment this research aims to 1) conduct a hybrid implementation-effectiveness pilot RCT for 80 Y-PLWH with depression or psychological distress, and compare feasibility, acceptability, engagement, satisfaction and preliminary effectiveness among individuals receiving PST alone or PST with Change My Story, and 2) use the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) to assess factors influencing engagement, acceptability, and satisfaction along with facilitators and barriers to implementation delivery.",[81,87],{"label":82,"type":83,"description":84,"interventionNames":85},"PST alone","ACTIVE_COMPARATOR","Patients randomized to PST alone will receive PST delivered using a stepped-care approach.

During each PST session, the HIV counselor will ask the participant structured questions to identify those at risk of suicide, or with adverse reactions to prescribed antidepressants.
