Trial Outcomes & Findings for Testing an Integrated Bio-Behavioral Primary HIV Prevention Intervention Among High-Risk People Who Use Drugs (NCT NCT03282890)

NCT ID: NCT03282890

Last Updated: 2025-08-17

Results Overview

The Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) adherence behavior scale is an 11-item categorical self-report measure designed to assess how confident a participant is about properly taking their PrEP medication (e.g., "How confident are you that you could make PrEP part of your daily routine?"). The scale requires participants to respond to each of the 11 items about adherence by selecting whether they are either 'Not at all confident', 'Somewhat confident', 'Moderately confident', 'Very confident', or 'Completely confident' about the behavior. The 11 items are summed to create a total score, with higher scores indicating a better PrEP adherence behavior outcome. The possible range of total scores is 0-44.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: This is measured immediately post-intervention, and then at 3-months, 6-months, and 9 months post-intervention. Results are reported in the table at 9-months.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: This was assessed immediately post-intervention, and then at 3-months, 6-months, and 9 months post-intervention. Results are reported in the table at 9-months.

HIV risk reduction behavior was assessed using a 4-item categorical self-report measure designed to assess the participant's self-efficacy about engaging in behaviors to reduce their HIV risk (e.g., 'How hard would it be for you to always use condoms or latex protection if you have oral, vaginal, or anal sex?"). The measure requires participants to select one of five possible responses for each of the four items, indicating whether a behavior would be either 'Very hard to do', 'Fairly hard to do', 'Neither hard nor easy to do', 'Somewhat easy to do', or 'Very easy to do'. Responses to the four items were summed and reversed to create a total score, with higher scores indicating a better HIV risk reduction outcome.The possible range of total HIV risk reduction behavior scores is 4 to 20.
