Trial Outcomes & Findings for The Wise App Trial for Improving Health Outcomes in PLWH (NCT NCT03205982)

NCT ID: NCT03205982

Last Updated: 2024-03-12

Results Overview

The CleverCapTM dispenser will automatically record each time a participant opens the dispenser. We will collect adherence data each day from the start to the end of trial (day 1 to 6 months), and it is a count response (number of times taking medication each day).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 6 months

Population: Only 198 out of 200 participants were included in the analysis. Valid data was not collected for 2 intervention group participants.

The CleverCapTM dispenser will automatically record each time a participant opens the dispenser. We will collect adherence data each day from the start to the end of trial (day 1 to 6 months), and it is a count response (number of times taking medication each day).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 3 month follow up, and 6 month follow up

Population: Only 198 out of 200 participants were included in the analysis. Valid data was not collected for 2 intervention group participants. In addition, the number of participants analyzed at each timepoint and for each group varied due to study attrition; participants missed visits, were lost to follow-up, and there were corona virus disease (COVID-19) restrictions in place.

The CASE Adherence Index is an easy to administer instrument that provides an alternative method for assessing ART adherence in clinical settings. Items are scored such that higher values indicate better adherence, minimum score is 3 and the maximum total score is 16. Scores of 11 or higher on this index indicate good adherence (Cronbach's α= 0.79).

Using blood samples obtained during study visits, CD4 count will be used to asses ART adherence

Population: The number of participants analyzed at each timepoint and for each group varied due to study attrition; participants missed visits, were lost to follow-up, and there were COVID-19 restrictions in place.

This will be measured by the self-reported number of primary care visits.

In addition, the number of participants analyzed at each timepoint and for each group varied due to study attrition; participants missed visits, were lost to follow-up, and there were COVID-19 restrictions in place.

The Engagement with Health Care Provider 13-item Scale will be administered over the course of the trial to evaluate how participants' engagement with their health care providers changes their health care access overall. Items are scored such that higher scores indicate a more negative relationship with their health care provider. The minimum total score is 13 and the maximum total score is 52.

Technology Acceptance: Perceived Ease of Use and Potential Usefulness 14-item Questionnaire provides a method for assessing participants' perception of the usefulness of the technology. Items are scored such that higher values indicate more positive perception. The minimum total score is 0 and the maximum total score is 70.
