Clinical Trial Summary

Given the magnitude of the epidemic in Puerto Rico, congenital Zika virus infection may have devastating complications to a significant population of children, also affecting families and society at large. This proposal takes a critical first step to ensuring that children with exposure to congenital Zika virus infection receive the follow-up care they need for optimal clinical outcomes. We anticipate that lessons learned from this study may also positively impact models for adherence to early intervention services in Puerto Rico.


Clinical Trial Description

Overview: Participants will be the primary caregivers (age ≥18 years) of children with possible congenital Zika virus infection. Participants will be recruited from the pediatric services of the University of Puerto Rico Medical Sciences Campus (UPR-MSC), as well as other clinics and community-based organizations in Puerto Rico. In the intervention, a community health worker (CHW) will deliver personalized sessions framed around a multi-media health communication tool. The CHW will deliver the intervention over a 6-month period. Study procedures: Participants will be the primary caregivers (age ≥18 years) of children with possible congenital Zika virus infection. Participants will be recruited via provider referral, peer referral, and flyers. Once an individual expresses interest in the study, a study staff member will screen that individual to assess eligibility. Individuals who are eligible will be invited to enroll through an informed consent process and complete a baseline interview. After completion of the baseline interview, study staff will randomize participants into an enhanced control condition (ECC) or intervention condition that receives an individually-tailored community health worker intervention. At trial exit, all participants, including the ECC group, will complete an in-depth assessment to measure their barriers to follow-up Zika-related pediatric services and provide feedback about their experience in the study. ;
