Studiefase: Syndemic Tilpasset Medly Uganda (SAMU)

4. november 2026 oppdatert av: Yale University

En mHealth-implementeringsstrategi for å håndtere syndemien av psykisk sykdom, høyt blodtrykk og HIV i Uganda, klinisk studie: Syndemic Adapted Medly Uganda (SAMU)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Syndemic-Adapted Medly Uganda (SAMU) in improving mental health care among adults living with HIV and hypertension in Uganda. In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), there is a high prevalence of depression and anxiety among people living with HIV (PLHIV) as well as alcohol use disorder (AUD). PLHIV who experience depression are less likely to link to HIV care, adhere to antiretroviral therapy, and achieve viral suppression. Building on research conducted to adapt Medly Uganda for mental health using a syndemic framework, this study aims to assess the effectiveness of SAMU on mental health screening and diagnosis. This will be accomplished through a two-arm trial in which 1. participants will be enrolled, screened, re-screened, and assessed for diagnosis and linkage to care for depression, anxiety and AUD and 2. evaluate the factors impacting sustained engagement in the SAMU program, through mixed methods.

Eksperimentell: SAMU intervention

Participants will receive the SAMU digital mental health screening intervention and SMS reminders to complete a SAMU session over the duration of trial consistent with their level of need.

Participants will receive an SMS reminding them to enter a SAMU screening session at a regular basis, based on their initial screening scores. Subsequent screeners will trigger a tailored message based on the participants' inputs.

Ingen inngripen: Control

Participants will receive screening, diagnosis and linkage to care that is consistent with the standard of care provided by the facility.
