Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Behavioral Activation Therapy
During the initial stage treatment, the active comparator arm is the behavioral activation (BAT) program intervention.
BAT is informed by behavioral theory and has been shown to be a highly efficacious treatment for depression.
A total of five, 1-hour sessions will be delivered every two weeks.
During Session 1, the focus will be on providing an introduction to BAT, as well as building "confianza" (mutual trust) between the patient and provider.
Sessions 2 & 3 will review the initial session, introduce "high" value activities and barriers to BAT protocols.
Sessions 4 & 5 will review progress, challenges & maintenance strategies.
|
"Non-responders" to the first stage treatment of BAT alone may be re-randomized to this augmented intervention to receive text-message support in addition to the BAT intervention.
"Responders" to the 1st-stage treatment of either 1. BAT or 2. BAT & mHealth will continue in maintenance mode.
These participants will not receive any additional interventions during the 2nd-stage treatment.
"Non-responders" to the 1st-stage treatment of either 1. BAT or 2. BAT & mHealth may be re-randomized to "switch" interventions in the form of an intensified "dose" of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
CBT is eight sessions long and covers five modules that can be re-arranged to fit patient needs.
Sessions will be scheduled once a week to facilitate more contact with participants.
An identical text-messaged tool will be used.
|
Experimental: Behavioral Activation Therapy & mHealth
During the initial stage treatment, the experimental arm will deliver a BAT program identical to the active comparator arm, as well as a mobile health (mHealth) component in the form of one-way and two-way SMS text-messages.
Direct personalized text-messages will be delivered twice a week to facilitate engagement with the BAT intervention activities.
One-way messages will be sent as appointment and BAT adherence reminders.
Two-way messages will be sent once a week during a set block of protected hours, creating a "mobile drop-in clinic" where messages can be sent and received.

"Responders" to the 1st-stage treatment of either 1. BAT or 2. BAT & mHealth will continue in maintenance mode.
These participants will not receive any additional interventions during the 2nd-stage treatment.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Composite measure of feasibility for the adaptive treatment strategy (ATS)
Time Frame: 4 months
|
This is one composite measure. Feasibility of the adaptive treatment strategy (ATS) will be measured to assess whether the ATS is appropriate for further testing, relevant and sustainable. Feasibility of the ATS will be reported as a composite score of the following measures taken at the end of the second-stage treatment:
|
4 months
|
Composite measure of acceptability for the adaptive treatment strategy (ATS)
Time Frame: 4 months
|
This is one composite measure. Acceptability of the adaptive treatment strategy will be measured to determine the tolerability or appropriateness of the SMART intervention from the perspective of both participants and clinicians.Acceptability of the ATS will be reported as a composite score of the following measures taken at the end of the second-stage treatment:
|
4 months
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Self-reported Adherence to Antiretroviral Therapy (ART)
Time Frame: 12 months
|
Self-reported adherence will be measured using the the visual analog scale (VAS), a 10-cm line on which participants indicate the percentage of doses (intervals of 10 percentage points indicated from 0% to 100%) of all HIV medications taken in the past 30 days (Amico et al., 2006).
This measure will be used for descriptive purposes.
|
12 months
|
Viral Load
Time Frame: 12 months
|
Viral load measures the amount of HIV virus in the blood.
Viral load data abstracted from patient medical records will act as a descriptive measure of HIV-related clinical outcomes.
|
12 months
|
Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9)
Time Frame: 12 months
|
The PHQ-9 is a survey tool used to screen, diagnose, monitor and measure self-reported depressive symptoms.
The tool rates the frequency of symptoms in order to score the severity of symptoms.
Changes in PHQ-9 scores from baseline will be used for descriptive purposes.
|
12 months
|
Engagement in HIV Care
Time Frame: 12 months
|
Engagement in care will be measured utilizing the multidimensional index of engagement in HIV care, a 10-item unit-dimensional patient-centered scale that assesses provider, clinic, and patient-level characteristics associated with being engaged in HIV care.
This measure will be used for descriptive purposes.
