Brief Summary:
It is estimated that the VHA is caring for nearly 40 percent of all HIV-infected veterans To benefit from recent improvements in anti-HIV therapy patients need to take their medications consistently
Detailed Description:
Background
It is estimated that the VHA is caring for nearly 40 percent of all HIV-infected veterans To benefit from recent improvements in anti-HIV therapy patients need to take their medications consistently
Objectives
Optimizing health for HIV patients requires excellent adherence to antiretroviral medication regimens However its unclear how best to incorporate adherence education and support programs into VA HIV outpatient care We implemented and evaluated a pharmacist program ACE and a Pager reminder program to support adherence in veterans with HIV
Methods
We used a quasi-experimental design with pre-post evaluation at four VA Centers Three treatment conditions ACE Pager Usual Care were rolled-in sequentially over two study phases allowing for group comparisons between conditions ACE is a multi-component manualized 4-session individual patient education and support program by trained pharmacists The Pager intervention used alphanumeric pagers to remind patients of dosing times Electronically-monitored medication adherence MEMS self-report questionnaires and pharmacy refill records were collected Qualitative site interviews were collected before and after interventions to assist with program evaluation Multilevel mixed models were used to analyze main study outcomes over time Secondary analyses compared subgroup who actually received all ACE sessions as treated to controls
Status
Project has been completed and Final Report submitted to HSRD CO
