Summary/Abstract: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a severe inherited blood disorder that leads to frequent acute and costly long-term complications. Hydroxyurea is the primary SCD modifying medication in childhood because studies show that it can reduce acute complications and mitigate costly long-term comorbidities. Hydroxyurea non-adherence is common, however, and a key reason for the limited impact that it has had on the outcomes of youth in clinical practice. Despite the impact that improving hydroxyurea adherence among children and adolescents could have on reducing SCD burden, studies testing adherence-promoting interventions for youth are lacking. Video directly observed therapy (VDOT) is an electronic hydroxyurea adherence-promoting strategy delivered using smartphones and includes reminder alerts, video directly observed therapy by trained observers, encouraging adherence feedback from the observers, and monetary incentives for achieving adherence goals. VDOT has been tested in a single-arm study and showed promising results. Yet, attrition was higher than anticipated due to some dissatisfaction with the previous email platform that was used to deliver VDOT and many participants having inconsistent personal smartphone and cellular data access. Engagement with VDOT was not thoroughly assessed, even though the degree of engagement with VDOT has potential to moderate the impact of the intervention. Aspects of the previous study, including the method used to measure adherence and the non-randomized design also limited the ability to definitively conclude that VDOT improves adherence. Finally, the adherence decline that was observed after VDOT was discontinued without any additional adherence support suggested that additional monitoring and intervention after intensive VDOT may be needed to promote lasting adherence behavior change. This feedback and experience prompted us to partner with emocha Health. This is a small business that has a user-friendly VDOT platform, experience successfully providing VDOT to other chronically ill populations, and an established system to provide intermittent ongoing adherence to support after VDOT to limit attrition, optimize participant engagement, and sustain adherence. Therefore, the primary objective of this proposal is to assess retention and sustained engagement during a pilot RCT comparing VDOT via the emocha Health platform to attention control. We will also explore adolescents’ and caregivers’ needs and preferences for longer-term adherence monitoring and intervention. This application aligns with NHLBI’s goal to optimize therapeutic strategies for SCD as it improving adherence is critically relevant to support life-long healthy behaviors and improve outcomes of these youth.

摘要/摘要： 镰状细胞病 (SCD) 是一种严重的遗传性血液疾病，会导致频繁的急性且昂贵的长期治疗 并发症。羟基脲是儿童时期主要的 SCD 调节药物，因为研究表明它 可以减少急性并发症并减轻昂贵的长期合并症。羟基脲不依从性是 然而，这很常见，也是其对青年临床结果影响有限的一个关键原因。 实践。尽管提高儿童和青少年羟基脲的依从性可能会产生影响 尽管在减轻 SCD 负担方面有很大进展，但缺乏测试针对青少年的促进依从性干预措施的研究。视频 直接观察治疗 (VDOT) 是一种电子羟基脲依从性促进策略，使用 智能手机，包括提醒警报、由训练有素的观察员直接观察治疗的视频，鼓励 观察者的遵守反馈，以及实现遵守目标的金钱激励。维州交通部有 在单臂研究中进行了测试并显示出有希望的结果。然而，由于人员流失率高于预期 对之前用于发送 VDOT 的电子邮件平台和许多参与者的一些不满 个人智能手机和蜂窝数据访问不一致。与 VDOT 的接触并未 尽管 VDOT 的参与程度有可能减轻影响，但仍进行了彻底评估 的干预。先前研究的各个方面，包括用于测量依从性的方法和 非随机设计也限制了明确得出 VDOT 提高依从性的结论的能力。最后， 停止 VDOT 后观察到的依从性下降而没有任何额外的依从性 支持者建议，在强化 VDOT 后可能需要额外的监测和干预，以促进 持久的依从行为改变。这种反馈和经验促使我们与 emocha 合作 健康。这是一家小型企业，拥有用户友好的 VDOT 平台，成功提供的经验 针对其他慢性病人群的 VDOT，以及提供间歇性持续依从性的既定系统 在 VDOT 后提供支持，以限制人员流失、优化参与者参与并维持依从性。因此， 该提案的主要目标是评估试点 RCT 期间的保留率和持续参与度 将通过 emocha Health 平台的 VDOT 与注意力控制进行比较。我们还将探讨青少年和 护理人员对长期依从性监测和干预的需求和偏好。这个应用程序 符合 NHLBI 优化 SCD 治疗策略的目标，因为提高依从性至关重要 与支持终生健康行为和改善这些青少年的成果有关。
