maintain a text message library, which
addresses topics of HIV disease
management, e.g. appointment keeping,
retention in care, and medication
adherence rates; and (2) to develop,
implement, conduct, and evaluate a
pilot study of delivering text messages
to targeted youth receiving care at Ryan
White grantee sites and other clinical
sites.
The first phase of this project will
include focus group interviews with the
target audience to test the messages
(Aim 1). Approximately 128 individuals
will be screened to assess focus group
eligibility. Four focus groups will be
conducted with up to eight participants
in each for a total sample size of 32.
The second phase of this project
involves the evaluation of the pilot
study (Aim 2). This will encompass data
collection with patients and providers.
Patient participants for the pilot study
will be recruited from ten clinical sites,
some of which will be Ryan White
grantees. Up to 1,000 individuals will be
screened to determine eligibility for the
pilot study to recruit a sample of 500
participants (50 from each clinical site).
Patient participants will complete a
baseline survey, 3-month survey, 6month survey, and follow-up survey at
9 months. In addition, ten patient
participants from each clinical site will
be selected to participate in an in-depth,
qualitative telephone interview for a
total of 100 interviews. Finally, up to
three clinic staff from the ten
participating clinics will take part in indepth, qualitative telephone interviews
(N=30).
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install and utilize
