Clinical Trial Summary

PIONEER is a three-arm, programmatic cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) to compare effectiveness of three implementation strategies, followed by a mixed-methods implementation evaluation study


Clinical Trial Description

The study will be implemented at 12 clinics in Guangdong, China, which will be randomly assigned to one of the intervention arms for delivering gonorrhea testing: a standard pay-it-forward implementation strategy with minimal encouragement to get tested, a community-engaged pay-it-forward strategy, and a control arm in which men pay for their own sexually transmitted disease (STD) test. Data sources will include survey data on acceptability of intervention, intervention appropriateness, feelings and attitudes towards interventions among participants, administrative data about test uptake, treatment rate, and donations, as well as qualitative data to gain insights about men's perceptions and attitudes towards the pay-it-forward interventions strategies, mechanisms driving uptake and donating behaviors. Both survey and qualitative interviews with implementers and organizers about fidelity and adherence to protocol, intention to continue and maintain a pay-it-forward intervention, and barriers and facilitators of implementing the intervention will be conducted. ;
