Leveraging HIV care infrastructure for implementation of context-adapted liver cancer comprehensive control strategies in Uganda: The LC3 Study
REFNo: HS6141ES

1) To adapt and plan integration of the Liver Cancer Comprehensive Control (LC3) package into the existing HIV infrastructure and care model. Using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), we will evaluate the local context for liver cancer control among PLWH. Guided by Dynamic Adaptation Process (DAP), we will work with key stakeholders to identify and adapt implementation strategies for LC3 package delivery. 2) To evaluate the integration of the LC3 package into the existing HIV infrastructure and care model using a phased implementation strategy. We will conduct a Type II hybrid observational implementation-effectiveness trial with phased implementation in six clinics in urban and rural Uganda. Using the RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance) framework, the primary outcome will be increased reach of package services, with secondary outcomes including effectiveness of LC3 package in linking HBsAg-positive participants to referral care, measures of adoption, implementation (fidelity), and maintenance. 3) To identify contextual factors mediating successful integration of LC3 services into routine HIV care and maintenance/sustainability. We will use mixed-methods to identify and compare contextual elements at patient, provider, and clinic levels across high and low performing sites to inform iteration, transferability, and scale-up. We will also assess maintenance post-implementation at all six sites.
