For researchers submitting trial data to ClinicalTrials.gov, the Adverse Events module is one of four mandatory results sections. It requires reporting in three primary categories: All-Cause Mortality: A table tracking all deaths that occurred during the study, regardless of cause. Serious Adverse Events (SAEs): A tabular summary of events resulting in death, life-threatening conditions, hospitalization, or significant disability. Other Adverse Events: A table for non-serious events that exceed a specific frequency threshold, such as 5% within any study arm.
Adverse Events Module path is as follows:
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Event Groups
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Serious Events
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Other Events
| Title | Description | Deaths # Affected | Deaths # At Risk | Serious # Affected | Serious # At Risk | Other # Affected | Other # At Risk | View |

| Practice Self-/Companion Exams | 300 individuals and 50 couples will be randomized to practice arm. Practice Self-/Companion Exams: 300 men and 50 couples will be randomized and encouraged to practice anal exams at home before Visit 2. Practice results will be elicited by staff. They will return for Visit 2 (six months after Visit 1). At Visit 2, they will complete a pre- and post-visit computer assisted self-interview. They will receive written instructions. After completing an anal self-exam or anal companion exam at home, they will record the results. At the clinic, they will have a Digital Anal Rectal Exam (DARE) by a clinician who will give the subject his results. | 0 | None | 0 | 359 | 0 | 359 | View |
| Control Arm | 300 individuals and 50 couples will neither be encouraged nor discouraged to practice self-/companion exam. Control Arm: 300 individuals and 50 couples will be randomized to this arm. Following Visit 1, they will neither be encouraged nor discouraged from practicing self- or companion exam. They will return for Visit 2 (six months after Visit 1). They will receive written anal exam instructions. They will then complete the self- or companion exam at home, and record the results. At the clinic, they will receive a clinician DARE. Clinicians will give DARE results. Persons will take a post-exam computer-assisted self-interview. Persons in this arm (control) will be asked if they have performed exams between visits. | 0 | None | 0 | 359 | 0 | 359 | View |
