 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Supporting Adolescent Adherence in Vietnam (SAAV) There an urgent need to 1) gain understanding of challenges faced by HIV-infected adolescents in maintaining high adherence to antiretroviral treatment (ART), including in low-resource settings; 2) measure ART adherence rigorously among youth in these contexts; and 3) identify and test interventions designed to help adolescents achieve and maintain high ART adherence levels. Emerging technologies, including electronic drug monitors (EDM), have demonstrated potential as adherence supports in adults; we propose to extend this to adolescents. In Vietnam, more than 4300 HIV-positive children and adolescents are currently on ART, and the first surviving cohorts of pediatric ART recipients are transitioning to adult care. Over 10% of these patients are already on second line therapy, raising concerns regarding adherence, drug resistance, and the ultimate effectiveness of Vietnam's HIV treatment program. SAAV's overall goal is to increase understanding of interventions that are feasible and effective in supporting high adherence among adolescent ART patients. The specific aims are to: 1) Examine facilitators of and challenges to adherence among adolescent ART patients and their caregivers; 2) Tailor an EDM-based real-time adherence support intervention package for adolescent patients, using input from adolescents in development of the package; 3) Assess feasibility and acceptability of this innovative, personalized approach to improving adherence among adolescents; and 4) Generate preliminary data regarding efficacy of the personalized real-time feedback package on adherence and clinical outcomes in this patient population by implementing a small randomized controlled trial (RCT). SAAV will achieve these aims over 2 years via formative research and implementation of the RCT. In formative work, we will query challenges to adherence, discuss strategies for improving adherence, and refine options for the intervention package offered to RCT participants; we will also explore with clinicians their experiences caring for youth and managing the transition to adult care. For the RCT, 80 adolescent patients will be enrolled in a HIV clinic in Hanoi. The core intervention will make use of wireless pill containers (WPCs) to provide, over 6- months, 2 layers of tailored adherence feedback: 1) continuous feedback via phone or bottle-based reminders when doses are missed; and 2) monthly feedback via counseling sessions with a clinician informed by the real- time data. Intervention subjects may tailor their individual intervention package. Comparison subjects will provide adherence data via WPC and receive usual care and an offer of counseling at monthly clinic visits. In addition to adherence and clinical data, quantitative and qualitative dat will be collected using survey instruments and in-depth interviews. Analysis of these data will enable achievement of the specific aims and contribute to the scientific evidence base on ART adherence-support strategies in adolescents. The study's Boston-Hanoi team of experienced researchers has exceptional capacity to conduct the study. With strong support from Vietnamese officials and clinicians, our results have high potential for policy and program impact.

 描述（由申请人提供）：支持越南青少年坚持治疗（SAAV）迫切需要1）了解艾滋病毒感染青少年在维持高坚持抗逆转录病毒治疗（ART）方面所面临的挑战，包括在低资源环境中; 2）在这些情况下严格衡量青年人的ART坚持;和3）确定和测试旨在帮助青少年实现和维持高ART依从性水平的干预措施。新兴技术，包括电子药物监测器（EDM），已被证明有潜力在成年人的依从性支持，我们建议将其扩展到青少年。在越南，目前有4300多名艾滋病毒阳性儿童和青少年正在接受抗逆转录病毒治疗，第一批存活的儿科抗逆转录病毒治疗接受者正在过渡到成人护理。其中超过10%的患者已经接受二线治疗，这引发了人们对越南艾滋病毒治疗计划的依从性、耐药性和最终有效性的担忧。SAAV的总体目标是增加对干预措施的理解，这些干预措施在支持青少年ART患者的高依从性方面是可行和有效的。具体目标是：1）检查青少年ART患者及其护理人员依从性的促进因素和挑战; 2）为青少年患者量身定制基于EDM的实时依从性支持干预包，在开发该包时使用青少年的输入; 3）评估这种创新的个性化方法的可行性和可接受性，以提高青少年的依从性;以及4）通过实施小型随机对照试验（RCT），生成关于个性化实时反馈包对该患者群体中的依从性和临床结果的功效的初步数据。SAAV将通过形成性研究和RCT的实施在2年内实现这些目标。在形成性工作中，我们将询问依从性的挑战，讨论提高依从性的策略，并改进为RCT参与者提供的干预方案;我们还将与临床医生探讨他们照顾青少年和管理向成人护理过渡的经验。在随机对照试验中，将在河内的一家HIV诊所招募80名青少年患者。核心干预将利用无线药丸容器（WPC）在6个月内提供2层定制的依从性反馈：1）当错过剂量时，通过电话或基于瓶子的提醒进行持续反馈; 2）通过咨询会议与临床医生进行每月反馈，该临床医生被告知真实的时间数据。干预对象可定制其个人干预方案。比较受试者将通过WPC提供依从性数据，并在每月诊所访视时接受常规护理和咨询。除了依从性和临床数据外，还将使用调查工具和深入访谈收集定量和定性数据。对这些数据的分析将有助于实现具体目标，并有助于为青少年ART依从性支持策略提供科学证据。该研究的波士顿-河内团队由经验丰富的研究人员组成，具有进行研究的特殊能力。在越南官员和临床医生的大力支持下，我们的研究结果具有很高的政策和计划影响潜力。
