飓风可能会中断通信，加剧自然减员，并扰乱参与者的研究参与。我们使用短信和灾难准备协议来重新建立通信，重新吸引参与者，并确保保留在人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）自检研究中。参与者在性交前获得艾滋病毒家庭检测试剂盒，以检测自己和/或他们的非一夫一妻制性伴侣。每日短信服务的计算机辅助自我采访（SMS-CASI）工具提醒他们报告3个变量：（1）不使用安全套的肛交，（2）了解伴侣的测试历史，（3）证明伴侣的测试历史。为应对波多黎各的飓风制定了备灾议定书。我们分析了在飓风伊尔玛和玛丽亚发生时活跃的参与者（N = 12）的6315条消息。评估了备灾叙述。所有参与者都能够在María之后的30天内通过SMS-CASI交流性行为和HIV检测。一些参与者（n = 5，42%）还交流了问题。飓风过后30天内重新参与的比例为100%（第二周/89%，第三周/100%）。参与者重新参与的时间范围为0-16天（平均= 6.4天）。保留率为100%。每日SMS-CASI和备灾协议有助于参与者在2次飓风后的参与和沟通。SMS-CASI的回答表明参与者的重新参与，保留和幸福感很高。
Hurricanes can interrupt communication, exacerbate attrition, and disrupt participant engagement in research. We used text messaging and disaster preparedness protocols to re-establish communication, re-engage participants, and ensure retention in a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) self-test study. Participants were given HIV home test kits to test themselves and/or their non-monogamous sexual partners before intercourse. A daily text message-based short message service computer-assisted self-interview (SMS-CASI) tool reminded them to report 3 variables: (1) anal sex without a condom, (2) knowledge of partners’ testing history, and (3) proof of partners’ testing history. A disaster preparedness protocol was put in place for hurricanes in Puerto Rico. We analyzed 6315 messages from participants (N = 12) active at the time of Hurricanes Irma and Maria. Disaster preparedness narratives were assessed. All participants were able to communicate sexual behavior and HIV testing via SMS-CASI within 30 days following María. Some participants (n = 5, 42%) also communicated questions. Re-engagement within 30 days after the hurricane was 100% (second week/89%, third week/100%). Participant re-engagement ranged from 0–16 days (average = 6.4 days). Retention was 100%. Daily SMS-CASI and disaster preparedness protocols helped participant engagement and communication after 2 hurricanes. SMS-CASI responses indicated high participant re-engagement, retention, and well-being.
