  1. Percentage of adolescents adhering to ART, before and after CATS intervention is given for both the intervention and control arm, and both at baseline and endline. N = 47 for the intervention arm at baseline, N = 39 for the control arm at baseline, N = 47 for the intervention arm at end line, and N = 28 for the control arm at endline. Difference between the baseline and endline is provided (including the 95% CI). Difference between baseline and endline is statistically significant if p < 0.05. The bold text under p-value column show statistical significance. Odd ratios are further used for statistically significant differences
