HIV/AIDS Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Telemedicine and mHealth Intervention for Reducing Alcohol Consumption Among People Living With HIV/AIDS
While advances in medication have led to greatly improved outcomes for people living with HIV/AIDS, less than one-third of all people living with the disease are adherent enough to their medication to achieve viral suppression. Alcohol consumption has been shown to have a significant effect on HIV medication adherence, so the proposed research will aim to reduce alcohol use among people living with HIV/AIDS through a technology-driven intervention. This eight-session intervention will be delivered using a combination of videoconferencing, smart phones, and Bluetooth-enabled breathalyzers for monitoring of alcohol consumption, with an overall goal of reducing alcohol use, mitigating adherence issues, and achieving optimal prevention and treatment responses for people living with HIV/AIDS.
The TRAC intervention focuses on increasing motivation and building skills for avoiding triggers and managing situations that encourage drinking. It requires eight 30-minute sessions with a counselor using videoconferencing and mobile phones. In addition to receiving the eight sessions of intervention content, participants will complete smartphone-based self-monitoring of medication adherence and alcohol consumption, which will be discussed during intervention sessions. Each day, they will be texted at two random times to complete a breathalyzer reading using a BACtrack Mobile Pro, which is sold by a company with FDA clearance and utilizes law enforcement-grade sensors for determining blood alcohol level. It connects wirelessly to phones via Bluetooth, automatically uploads readings, allows the user to view their current and past readings with a mobile app, and allows them to share their readings with counselors. At the time of the breathalyzer reading, participants will also be asked to indicate via survey how many drinks they have consumed and their medication use for the day. The surveys will be programmed using Qualtrics and accessible via a link in the reminder text message. Data analytic methods will be focused on examining effects on alcohol intake, HAART adherence, and HIV-related medical outcomes (CD4 count and viral load).If shown to be feasible, acceptable, and potentially efficacious, this intervention could have a significant impact on improving the accessibility of alcohol reduction counseling among PLWHA. ;
