What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change from baseline to follow-up assessments of adherence to HIV treatment
Time Frame: Every year for 10 years
|
Adherence to HIV treatment regimen outcomes for HIV-positive adolescents, including participants' ability to access and refill prescribed HIV antiretroviral therapy and adhere to prescribed daily HIV medication routines.
|
Every year for 10 years
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Protective Health Behaviors
Time Frame: Every year for 10 years
|
Using a series of standardized and pre-tested instruments, potential mechanisms of protective health behaviors, knowledge, and beliefs, including: 1) financial/economic stability, 2) sexual risk-taking behavior, 3) personal beliefs about HIV medication, 4) hopelessness, 5) future plans and aspirations, and 6) adherence self-efficacy, will be measured during a structured interview at baseline and at every subsequent follow-up assessment.
|
Every year for 10 years
|
Cost-Effectiveness Analyses
Time Frame: Every year for 10 years
|
Cost-effectiveness analyses measure the cost of achieving an agreed upon benefit, such as an additional year of schooling, employment, or a reduction in a disease.
Costs will be measured on a per person basis.
The costs of the intervention will include all program costs.
Research costs will not be included.
|
Every year for 10 years
|
Cognitive functioning
Time Frame: Every year in years 6 to 10
|
Using a series of standardized and pre-tested instruments, cognitive functioning will be measured during a structured interview at wave 6 and at every subsequent follow-up assessment.
|
Every year in years 6 to 10
|
Substance misuse
Time Frame: Every year in years 6 to 10
|
Using a series of standardized and pre-tested instruments, substance misuse will be measured during a structured interview at wave 6 and at every subsequent follow-up assessment.
|
Every year in years 6 to 10
|
Social transitions
Time Frame: Every year in years 6 to 10
|
Using a series of standardized and pre-tested instruments, social transitions will be measured during a structured interview at wave 6 and at every subsequent follow-up assessment.
