NEW ORLEANS ADOLESCENT MEDICINE TRIALS UNIT

新奥尔良青少年医学跟踪股将促进和支持艾滋病毒/艾滋病干预青少年医学跟踪网络的科学议程。由青少年护理团队，杜兰/路易斯安那州立大学/慈善儿科艾滋病跟踪单位和新奥尔良青少年艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究计划的成员组成，新奥尔良AMTU将有超过八年的艾滋病毒感染青年的临床经验，并参与多中心临床研究网络。此外，合作机构通过为青少年和年轻人提供服务，在接触社区青年方面已有十多年的历史。为支持该倡议呼吁开展一系列广泛的支助和直接干预研究，以初级、二级和三级预防青少年和年轻成年人感染艾滋病毒，将招募青年人加入一个青年管理数据库，可与他们联系，以便进行临床试验。这将得到支持，评估预防模式，如疫苗，评估预防保健，技能建设和其他缓冲青年对艾滋病毒。目前正在开展的活动中正在探索有效措施，以确定感染艾滋病毒的青年并将其与卫生保健、利用青年免疫恢复力的疗法、药物管理战略和支持依从性的方法联系起来，并将作为AMTU加以扩大。最后，预计将开展研究，调查艾滋病毒对青年人生活和决策的影响，以便采取干预措施，支持青年人在不利情况下的复原力，并采取干预措施，为身患重病和可能没有太多选择的青年制定挽救方案。新奥尔良AMTU具有个人和组织能力，可以通知，指导和实施青少年医学领导小组提出的研究。此外，该AMTU将通过其自身对科学议程的贡献以及对社区工作的理解和对处境不利、难以接触到青少年的工作的理解，加强青少年医学跟踪网络。

The New Orleans Adolescent Medicine Trails Unit will contribute to and support the scientific agenda of Adolescent Medicine Trails Network for HIV/AIDS Interventions. Composed of members of the adolescent care team, the Tulane/LSU/Charity Pediatric AIDS Trails Unit, and the New Orleans Adolescent HIV/AIDS Research Program, the New Orleans AMTU will have had more than eight years' clinical experience with HIV infected youth and participation in multi center clinical research networks. In addition, the collaborating agencies have more than ten-year history reaching out to youth in the community by building services for adolescents and young adults. In support of the initiative's call for a broad array of supporting and direct intervention studies aimed at the primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention of HIV infection in adolescents and young adults, young people will be recruited to a managerial database of youth who can be contacted for accrual to clinical trails. This will be supported that assess models of prevention such as vaccines, assess to prevention health, skill- building, and other buffers for youth against HIV. Trails exploring effective measures of identifying and linking HIV infected youth to health care, therapies that exploit the immunologic resilience of youth, drug management strategies, and methods of supporting adherence are being implemented in current activities and will be expanded as an AMTU. Finally, studies that investigate the impact of HIV on young people's lives and decision-making with a view to implementing interventions that support youth's resilience under adverse circumstances as well as interventions with salvage protocols for youth who are very ill and may not have many options, are anticipated. The New Orleans AMTU has the individual and organizational capacity to inform, guide, and implement studies proposed by an adolescent Medicine Leadership Group. In addition, this AMTU will strengthen the Adolescent Medicine Trails Network through its own contributions to the scientific agenda and to an understanding of community work and work with disadvantage, hard to reach adolescents.
