For example, in Mombasa, the first module was introduced on day two of a five-day ART training course, with each additional module covered on days two, three, four, and five. Module 1 provides a background to adherence issues and is relevant for all health workers involved in ART service delivery. Modules 2, 3, and 4 focus on adherence management of patients on ART and are designed for adherence nurse counselors, but physicians may also benefit from attending, particularly the Module 2 session.
