Abstract:
Substance using HIV patients are at risk for non-adherence, and most prior interventions in this population have had only modest effects on adherence. Contingency management (CM) is a promising intervention. The Centralized Off-site Adherence Enhancement (CARE) program involved 12 telephone-delivered substance and adherence-targeted cognitive behavior therapy sessions coupled with CM for adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) and counseling participation. CM involved 6 weeks of escalating reinforcement for taking prescribed doses followed by 6 weeks of tapering variable rate reinforcement, and separate reinforcement for counseling ($806 possible). Participants' adherence was measured by devices which wirelessly provided real-time notification of device-opening. HIV infected patients on ART (N = 10) with recent stimulant or alcohol use completed 10.2 of 12 possible telephone sessions, spent 42.8 min/call, and rated the counseling 6.2 on a 1-7 scale. Medication adherence improved from 81 to 93 % (p = 0.04). CARE appears to be acceptable and engaging.
