NEW ORLEANS ADOLESCENT MEDICINE TRIALS UNIT

新奥尔良青少年医学试验股将促进和支持艾滋病毒/艾滋病干预青少年医学试验网络的科学议程。由青少年护理小组、杜兰大学/路易斯安那州立大学/慈善儿童艾滋病跟踪小组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少年临床经验，并参与多中心临床研究网络。此外，合作机构有十多年的历史，通过为青少年和年轻人提供服务，向社区中的青少年伸出援手。为支持该倡议呼吁开展广泛的支持性和直接干预研究，旨在初级、二级和三级预防青少年和年轻人感染艾滋病毒，将招募年轻人加入青年管理数据库，可以联系他们进行临床试验。这将得到支助，以评估预防模式，如疫苗，评估预防、保健、技能建设和青年预防艾滋病毒的其他缓冲。在目前的活动中正在开展各种试验，探索确定感染艾滋病毒的青年并将其与保健联系起来的有效措施、利用青年免疫复原力的治疗方法、药物管理战略和支持坚持治疗的方法，并将作为一项综合护理单位加以扩大。最后，预计将开展研究，调查艾滋病毒对年轻人生活和决策的影响，以期实施支持青年在不利环境下恢复能力的干预措施，以及为病情严重且可能没有太多选择的青年提供救助方案的干预措施。新奥尔良AMTU有个人和组织的能力来通知、指导和实施由青少年医学领导小组提出的研究。此外，该协会将通过其自身对科学议程的贡献以及对社区工作和难以接触到青少年的弱势群体工作的理解，加强青少年医学试验网络。

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.
