Evaluating Rewards-Based Adherence and Electronic Medication Monitoring in HIV-Positive Adolescents

Completed

Conditions studied: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS)

In brief

The primary objective of this project is to assess the study population's acceptance of two medication adherence support strategies: incentive-based programs and electronic medication monitoring. The study population is adolescents (ages 16 - 24) positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) currently undergoing treatment with antiretrovirals at St. Jude's HIV clinic. Participation in the study will involve completion of a survey: an Audio Computer Assisted Self Interview (ACASI). The duration of the survey is anticipated to be 10-20 minutes.
