这项研究的目的是记录开发成本，并估计美国艾滋病毒感染者基于互联网的药物依从性干预的实施成本。参与者（n=61）在2011年参加了为期8周的研究，并在他们选择的环境中远程进入干预网站。开发成本来自基于互联网的药物依从性干预的可行性和可接受性研究。在可行性和可接受性研究期间，根据8周试验期估算实施成本。结果表明，虽然开发一个基于互联网的药物依从性干预是昂贵的，实施和提供干预的每月成本是低的。如果类似干预措施的有效性能够得到确定，这些结果表明互联网可能是向居住在无法获得面对面依从性服务的地区的人们提供药物依从性干预措施的有效方法。
The purpose of the study was to document development costs and estimate implementation costs of an internet based medication adherence intervention for people living with HIV in the US. Participants (n=61) were enrolled in the 8 week study in 2011 and entered the intervention website remotely in the setting of their choice. Development costs were obtained from a feasibility and acceptability study of an internet based medication adherence intervention. Implementation costs were estimated based on an 8 week trial period during the feasibility and acceptability study. Results indicated that although developing an internet based medication adherence intervention is expensive, the monthly cost of implementing and delivering the intervention is low. If the efficacy of similar interventions can be established, these results suggest the internet could be an effective method for delivering medication adherence interventions to persons residing in areas with limited access to in-person adherence services.
