Further study details as provided by Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD):

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Collect information on for adolescents and young adults with HIV infection engaged in care at the AMTUs [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Collect information on rates of adherence to medical regimens, sexual risk behavior, substance use and mental health concerns, along with basic demographic and biomedical data for adolescents and young adults with HIV infection engaged in care at the AMTUs to better understand the extent of risk behaviors as well as to understand risk and protective factors in this population.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • To better understand the complex relationships between adherence to medical regimens, sexual risk behavior, substance use and mental health concerns, and basic demographic and biomedical data in adolescents and young adults with HIV infection. [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Enrollment: 513
Study Start Date: April 2011
Study Completion Date: June 2012
Primary Completion Date: June 2012 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Groups/Cohorts
AMTU Clients
All HIV-infected adolescents and young adults engaged in care at sites newly participating in ATN III and their affiliates who are between 12 and 24 years of age, inclusive, are aware of their HIV status and understand written and/or verbal English will be eligible for inclusion in the study. In addition, new patients who have their initial clinic visit within the enrollment period will also be eligible for participation.

Detailed Description:

The proposed study is a cross sectional study intended to be conducted at each of the Adolescent Medicine Trials Units (AMTUs) newly participating in ATN III and to enroll all participating patients followed at each site. This approach will allow for the examination of the broad spectrum of youth participating in the ATN, including those newly entered into care.

Psychosocial and risk-taking behavioral data will be collected using Audio Computer-Assisted Self-Interview (ACASI) for English-speaking participants, or a paper-and-pencil Spanish-language survey with identical measures to the ACASI for Spanish-speaking participants; biomedical information will be collected through medical chart abstraction.

  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   12 Years to 24 Years
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Sampling Method:   Non-Probability Sample
Study Population

All HIV-infected adolescents and young adults engaged in care at sites newly participating in ATN III and their affiliates who are between 12 and 24 years of age, inclusive, are aware of their HIV status and understand written and/or verbal English will be eligible for inclusion in the study. In addition, new patients who have their initial clinic visit within the enrollment period will also be eligible for participation

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Laboratory evidence of HIV-1 infection documented by a positive result on any of the following licensed tests at any time: Any HIV-1 antibody test confirmed by Western blot, HIV-1 culture, HIV-1 DNA PCR, or plasma HIV-1 RNA PCR > 1,000 copies/ml;
  • Knowledge of HIV positive diagnoses;
  • Age 12 years through 24 years, inclusive, at the time of consent;
  • Engaged in care at the AMTU or its affiliate and/or partnering clinic. Individuals will be considered to be engaged in care if they have an AMTU (or its affiliate) clinic visit during the enrollment period;
  • Ability to understand written and/or verbal English or Spanish.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Presence of serious psychiatric symptoms (e.g., active hallucinations, thought disorder) that would impair the individual's ability to complete the study measures;
  • Visibly distraught (e.g., suicidal, homicidal, exhibiting violent behavior); or
