R01 Study “INcentives and ReMINDers to Improve Long-term Medication Adherence” (INMIND)
REFNo: SS3732ES
Main Objective
1. We propose to optimize an adaptive intervention using the INMIND approach in a Stage III efficacy randomized trial using a two-stage SMART design in Uganda. All clients (including the control group) will receive information about the importance of behavioral routines, as is part of the standard adherence counseling for treatment initiators and create personalized ART adherence anchoring strategies. We will first enroll patients into an Wisepill use only phase for one month. We will then randomize them to receive either usual care / information only or low-cost daily text messages. All clients will have the opportunity to select a new anchoring plan in the first two months, so that they then have another 4-month period during which to establish a routine. Those who if fail to take their ART pills very regularly, meaning at the same time for at least 80% of the days at the end of month three will be re-randomized to one of two more intensive interventions for the subsequent three months: monthly or monthly escalating prizes.
The Specific Aims are to:
SA1 (Primary): Test the first-stage main effect of Messages vs. Control on the maintenance of ART adherence (primary outcome) and viral suppression (secondary outcome).
SA2 (Secondary): Examine (a) the second-stage main effect of receiving monthly vs. monthly escalating incentives on the primary and secondary outcomes among first-stage non-responders, and (b) whether changing one’s anchoring plan at month two moderates the effect of monthly and monthly escalating incentives.
SA3. Synthesis Phase: Perform a cost-effectiveness analysis including a comparative analysis of the INMIND components among first-stage responders and non-responders and conduct information dissemination activities in Uganda after completion of the trial.
