Reducing the Burden of Chronic Psychotic Disorders in Tanzania (CAPACITY) — CAPACITY  

Schizophrenia Clinical Trial

Official title:
Reducing the Burden of Chronic Psychotic Disorders in Tanzania

Clinical Trial Summary

The proposed, three phase project will refine and test a first-ever care approach in SSA that combines LAI with a behavioral program specifically intended to promote medication adherence in chronic psychotic disorders (CPDs). In addition to the novel focus, innovative elements include: 1.) a manualized curriculum that targets specific barriers and facilitators to medication adherence in Tanzanians with CPD, 2.) targeting known, high-risk individuals with CPD (those who miss ≥20% of prescribed antipsychotic medication, and 3.) using existing injection clinic health workers to deliver the adherence promotion program. Strengths include the highly generalizable methods and use of LAIs that are available in low-resource settings.

Clinical Trial Description

In this Phase 3 portion, the study team will select appropriate measures, train staff and build capacity in measure implementation, and finalize the intervention for delivery by healthcare workers. Finally, in a training/proof-of-concept exercise, the healthcare workers will implement the adapted CAE-L in a high-risk sample of Tanzanians with CPD (individuals with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder who have had recent medication adherence problems). Taken together, the proposed project has substantial public health importance. It will provide the prerequisite materials, training and infrastructure needed for a prospective trial in reducing CPD burden and improving brain health in Tanzania and other countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. The focus of this project is on feasibility, patient acceptability, and research capacity-building. Therefore a specific hypothesis is not being tested. The investigators will assess descriptive statistics and change from baseline in the primary and secondary measures using standard pre-post techniques. ;
