NCT ID: NCT04134767 Completed - HIV Infections Clinical Trials

Kentucky Communities and Researchers Engaging to Halt the Opioid Epidemic (CARE2HOPE)

Start date: November 15, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study will test the effects of an intervention to reduce substance use and related harms among people leaving rural jails or otherwise involved in the criminal justice system. This study will compare people in a health linkage intervention with people who will get overdose (OD) education. Everyone will take part in the baseline and follow-up surveys and receive OD education. Participants will be assigned to one of the two groups by chance based on when they are enrolled to the study and if their county is randomly assigned to an intervention or a comparison condition. By doing this study, the investigators hope to learn if providing linkage to health services along with HIV, hepatitis C virus (HCV), and overdose education to people leaving rural jails or otherwise involved in the criminal justice system will reduce substance use and related harms.

NCT ID: NCT04095065 Completed - Clinical trials for Sexually Transmitted Diseases

Engineering an Online STI Prevention Program: RCT

Start date: July 15, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The overall objective of the proposed research is to reduce the incidence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among college students. The investigators propose to accomplish this by using the innovative, engineering-inspired multiphase optimization strategy (MOST) to develop a highly effective, appealing, economical, and readily scalable internet-delivered behavioral intervention targeting the intersection of alcohol use and sexual risk behavior. The rate of STIs on college campuses is alarming: one in four college students is diagnosed with an STI at least once during their college experience. Sexual activity when drinking alcohol is highly prevalent among college students. Alcohol use is known to contribute to the sexual risk behaviors that are most responsible for the transmission of STIs, namely unprotected sex, contact with numerous partners, and "hook-ups" (casual sexual encounters). Few interventions have been developed that explicitly target the intersection of alcohol use and sexual risk behaviors, and none have been optimized. In order to reduce the incidence of STI transmission among this and other high-risk groups, a new approach is needed. MOST is a comprehensive methodological framework that brings the power of engineering principles to bear on optimization of behavioral interventions. MOST enables researchers to experimentally test the individual components in an intervention to determine their effectiveness, indicating which components need to be revised and re-tested. Given the high rates of alcohol use and sex among college students, the college setting provides an ideal opportunity for intervening on alcohol use and sexual risk behaviors. The proposed study will include a diverse population of college students on 4 campuses which will increase the generalizability of the findings. The specific aims are to (1) develop and pilot test an initial set of online intervention components targeting the link between alcohol use and sexual risk behaviors, (2) use the MOST approach to build an optimized preventive intervention, and (3) evaluate the effectiveness of the newly optimized preventive intervention using a fully powered randomized controlled trial (RCT). This work will result in a new, more potent behavioral intervention that will reduce the incidence of STIs among college students in the US, and will lay the groundwork for a new generation of highly effective STI prevention interventions aimed at other subpopulations at risk.

NCT ID: NCT04070287 Completed - HIV/AIDS Clinical Trials

Innovative Tools to Expand HIV Self-Testing

I-TEST
Start date: July 1, 2019
Phase: Early Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

The I-TEST study builds upon two participatory approaches, open challenge contests and entrepreneurship training. The study utilizes open challenge contest to generate youth-driven interventions on strategies to promote HIV self-testing and other testing for other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among young people in Nigeria. Open challenge contests involves leveraging on the knowledge and strengths of the crowd (in this case young people) to generate solutions to an issue. Following completion of one of the open challenge contest, was the Designathon contest where young people in Nigeria collaborated to develop new services and products for promoting self-testing for HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases, guided by human-centered, design thinking framework. After which, six teams from the Designathon were selected to move onto an Innovation bootcamp. The Innovation bootcamp was a 4-week long accelerated training program for young people to delve into the world of entrepreneurial and innovation management skills, while applying basic research principles. At the end of the course, 5 finalist teams were selected to pilot test their innovation plan in the community for a duration of 6 months, beginning July 2019. This study is focused on evaluating the effectiveness of these five youth participatory interventions on HIV testing and other key prevention among at risk youth (14-24 years old in Nigeria).This research study will involve undertaking a prospective one-year assessment of these five pilot interventions.

NCT ID: NCT04036396 Completed - HIV Infections Clinical Trials

Prevention Support for People Leaving Jail

MEPS
Start date: November 14, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study will provide HIV prevention and related support services to men who have sex with men and transgender women who have substance use disorders and are either leaving jail or recently released from jail. The researchers will compare the utilization of HIV prevention and other support services between individuals who receive routine case management provided following enrollment to those who have access to GeoPassport, a global position service (GPS)-based mobile app, incentives, and peer mentor support.

NCT ID: NCT04036318 Completed - HIV Infections Clinical Trials

Evaluation of Presumptive Periodic Treatment (PPT) of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)

PPT
Start date: May 14, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Sexually transmitted infections (STI) are important causes of reproductive health morbidity and mortality, and have long been implicated as major co-factors in the sexual transmission of HIV. Both ulcerative and non-ulcerative STI have been found to be strongly associated with HIV in cross-sectional and prospective studies and hence STI prevention and care are important aspects of HIV prevention. Periodic Presumptive Treatment of STIS (PPT) where risk populations are presumptively treated with a single dose of Azithromycin+Cefixime in regular intervals of 3 months has been shown to be effective in reducing STI prevalence at population level and has recently been integrated into the National STI guidelines of Tanzania. The USAID funded Sauti program will be one of the first to implement these new guidelines and roll out PPT in high risk populations in selected regions in Tanzania. This study will evaluate the impact of PPT as delivered by the Sauti program on prevalence of STIs in men who have sex with men and female sex workers in Dar es Salaam and Shinyanga respectively.

NCT ID: NCT04021953 Completed - Health Behavior Clinical Trials

The People Like Us Evaluation Study

Start date: October 13, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The study is a pragmatic, randomized controlled trial design to evaluate an online video series developed by a community-based organization in Singapore for gay, bisexual and queer men. A total of 300 HIV-negative, gay, bisexual and queer men in Singapore aged 18 to 29 years old will be recruited with the assistance of the partner community-based organization (CBO), Action for AIDS Singapore. Recruitment will utilize both online and offline channels, and with the help of other CBOs in Singapore. Participants should also not have watched the video prior to their participation in this study, which will be ascertained through a questionnaire. Participants will subsequently be randomized into the intervention arm (n=150) and the control arm (n=150). The treatment group (n=150) will be assigned the intervention along with sexual health information via a pamphlet, while the control group (n=150) will be assigned only the sexual health information via a pamphlet. This will be conducted through block randomization.
