Filter by:With a full-scale randomized control trial, the investigators will evaluate the efficacy and cost effectiveness of Mlambe, an economic and relationship-strengthening intervention that provides incentivized saving accounts, financial literacy training, and relationship skills education to break the cycle of poverty around drinking, strengthen couple support and communication, and reduce heavy drinking among HIV-affected married couples with a partner who drinks alcohol in Malawi.
The overall goal of the P4P: Peers for PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) study is to pilot test a peer-led and delivered intervention for biomedical HIV prevention that is tailored to women who engage in sex work in southwestern Uganda. This study will evaluate whether this intervention is feasible, acceptable, and increases uptake of biomedical prevention.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two multifaceted strategies (standard vs enhanced) for scaling Bridges in a two-arm Hybrid III effectiveness-implementation cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) in adolescent and youths affected by AIDS [AYaAIDS] (ages 13-17 years) from 48 schools in the Greater Masaka region of Uganda. The main aims of the clinical trial are: Aim 1. Compare the implementation effectiveness of the standard implementation strategy vs. an enhanced implementation strategy. The investigators will assess fidelity to Bridges (primary implementation outcome) and sustainment of Bridges (exploratory implementation outcome). Aim 2. Determine the clinical effectiveness of Bridges implemented via a standard vs. enhanced implementation strategy. Aim 3: Explore implementation processes, mechanisms, and determinants. Aim 4. Compare the cost and cost-effectiveness of the two implementation strategies. Using an activity-based ingredients approach, the investigators will examine how much each strategy costs to achieve a unit of effect.
The goal of this study is to test the effectiveness of ADELANTE on viral suppression among Latinos with HIV and viral non-suppression. Participants will receive ADELANTE (5-session, community health worker-delivered, problem-solving intervention) or enhanced care condition (ECC, 5 reminder phone calls). We will evaluate the overall effectiveness of ADELANTE compared with ECC on rates of viral suppression and emergency room visits and hospitalizations. Our hypothesis is that ADELANTE participants will achieve higher rates of viral suppression and will have lower rates of emergency room visits and hospitalizations compared with ECC at 12 months post-randomization.
This study will evaluate the effect of a brief alcohol counseling intervention on PrEP and PEP adherence among adults with heavy alcohol use at high risk for HIV, while gaining insights into the facilitators, barriers, and cost-effectiveness of this approach.
This demonstration study will evaluate the real-world implementation of long-acting cabotegravir (CAB-LA) for HIV pre-exposure prevention (PrEP) through a partnership between the OHSU Tele-PrEP Program (TPP) and the OHSU Home Infusion Pharmacy (HIP). The study will perform a formative evaluation of the TPP/HIP partnership to determine its merit and worth, with revisions made as needed to improve the program, which is reflective of a real-world program rollout. The study is observational, and there is no comparison group. The primary objective is to evaluate adherence to CAB-LA by both urban and rural participants using the TPP/HIP partnership. The goals of the study are improve the TPP/HIP program itself with attention to reducing geographic disparities, and to disseminate best practices and lessons learned to the broader HIV prevention community.
The overall goal of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of a remotely delivered CHAMPS intervention for people living with HIV (PLWH) in a randomized controlled trial. The proposed trial is scientifically significant in representing a principled and systematic effort to test the efficacy of a combined community health worker (CHW) and smartphone intervention linked to a smart pill box for antiretroviral (ART) adherence in PLWH in the United States (US). Guided by a rigorous theoretical model of supportive accountability and building on preliminary work, this intervention has the potential to enable PLWH to self-manage their ART regimens while CHW monitor their ART adherence in real-time ultimately leading to viral suppression and ART adherence.
This study aims to determine and compare acupuncture therapy and chiropractor group therapy to reduce anxiety and depression among HIV/AIDS patients at Being Alive, Los Angeles. In this controlled clinical trial, a total of 30 patients will be divided into two groups, 15 in the acupuncture therapy group, 15 in the chiropractor group therapy. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), The Patient Health Questionnaire 9-item (PHQ-9) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7- item scales (GAD-7) will be used as screening tools for depressive and anxiety symptoms respectively.
The purpose of this research is to test ORCHID (Optimizing Resilience & Coping with HIV through Internet Delivery), a skills-building intervention that improves mental health status for persons with HIV, who are at-risk for falling out of care.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to test the effect of a technology-based intervention with an Adaptive Treatment Strategy (ATS) among youth living with HIV (YLWH) (18-29 years old). This piloted and protocolized intervention combines: (1) brief weekly sessions with a counselor via a video-chat platform (video-counseling) to discuss mental health (MH), substance use (SU), HIV care engagement, and other barriers to care; and (2) a mobile health application (app) to address barriers such as ART forgetfulness and social isolation. Individuals who are not virologically suppressed will be randomized to video-counseling+app or standard of care (SOC). Through this study, the investigators will be able to: Aim 1: Test the efficacy of video-counseling+app vs SOC on virologic suppression in YLWH.The investigators will compare HIV virologic suppression of those randomized to the intervention vs control arms at 16 weeks via an RCT. Aim 2: Assess the impact of video-counseling+app vs SOC on MH and SU in YLWH. The investigators will evaluate the MH and SU differences between the intervention vs control arms at 16 weeks via an RCT. Aim 3: Explore an ATS to individualize the intervention by assigning the: 1. virologic "non-responders" in the intervention arm to intensified video-counseling+app for 16 more weeks, 2. virologic "responders" in the intervention arm to continue only app use for 16 more weeks. Researchers will compare the characteristics of virologic responders and non-responders to the intervention, individualization of the intervention based on these variables, and linkage to MH and SU treatment services among those in need to see if delivery of care is enhanced and impact on virologic suppression.
