Financial education for HIV-vulnerable youth, orphans, and vulnerable children: A systematic review of outcome evidence.

Global commitments to reverse the HIV epidemic will only be achieved if strategies prioritize children and youth. Relevant evidence reviews found mixed evidence that HIV prevention may be addressed through economic strengthening activities such as financial education for youth.
