Centralized Off-Site Adherence Enhancement Program
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: HIV/AIDS, Medication Adherence
In brief
Our proposal "Centralized Off-Site Adherence Enhancement Program" or "CARE" will develop and test an effective behavioral adherence intervention program for HIV patients with alcohol and/or substance abuse problems. This project will develop and pilot test a novel program to help patients with alcohol and/or substance abuse problems take their medications as prescribed. The intervention will be delivered by phone, and utilize electronic monitoring of medication-taking, so patients can be treated by therapists from any geographic distance. To safely monitor data collected for this study, we have laid out a detailed Data Safety Monitoring Plan, which will cover all the issues required by NIDA.
