Streamlined Treatment and Evidence-based Adolescent Counseling and Medication Support (STREAMS) (STREAMS)

4 juni 2026 uppdaterad av: Philip Kreniske, City University of New York, School of Public Health
Combination interventions to address mental health and adherence to HIV care in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), are crucial to achieving the UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets as one in four adolescents living with HIV (ALWHIV) experience poor mental health and this contributes to suboptimal medication adherence and lack of viral suppression. Yet few evidence-based mental health and adherence interventions have been evaluated in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), the region where the majority of the 1.7 million ALWHIV reside. STREAMS will determine if our streamlined combination intervention approach to mental health screening, provision of evidence-based interpersonal psychotherapy groups (IPT-G), and evidence-based family strengthening, and medication counseling is feasible and efficacious for ALWHIV in Uganda.

Primära resultatmått

Åtgärdsbeskrivning
Tidsram
Depressive symptomatology
Tidsram: Baseline to 24 months post-intervention initiation
PHQ-9, a standardized 9-item self-report instrument used to assess depression, is used. Participants rate the frequency of their symptoms over the past 2 weeks. Items are rated on a 4-point scale, ranging from 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly every day), and scale scores range from 0 to 27. PHQ-9 scores of 5 to 9 represent minimal to mild depression and 10 to 20 represent moderate to severe depression. A score ≥10 has a sensitivity of 88% and a specificity of 88% for major depression.

Viral Load (VL) Suppression (Biological assay) will be assessed through blood draws. In accordance with in-country cutoffs, VL will be dichotomized between undetectable (< 200 copies/ml) and detectable (≥ 200 copies/ml) levels.

The GAD-7 is a standardized instrument that asks participants to rate their symptoms over the past two weeks on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly every day). Overall scores for the GAD-7 range from 0 to 21. At a cut-point of 10 (indicative of clinically significant symptoms), the sensitivity and specificity of the scale equals 89% and 82% respectively. The GAD-7 has a Cronbach's of .92, indicating good internal consistency with an intra-class correlation of .83, indicating good procedural validity.

Children's Global Assessment Scale (CGAS)136, an adaptation of the Global Assessment Scale for adults, young people scored between 1 to 100, with 10 categories. Participants with CGAS score of 1-10 needs constant supervision, with scores of 91-100 means superior functioning. CGAS can be a useful measure of overall severity of disturbance. It was found to have moderate to good reliability between raters and across time, as measured by intraclass correlation
