About this study

Official title: Adopting and Demonstrating the Adaptation of Prevention Techniques: Community PROMISE Positives Leading and Utilizing Strategies (ADAPT CP PLUS)

This project will pilot test a step-by-step guide developed by CDC for organizations to engage in evidence-based adaptation of interventions previously shown to be effective in research settings for use in real world applications. The second purpose of the program is to evaluate the adapted intervention to determine if it is effective in changing behavior of HIV+ African American men who have sex with other men.

Read the detailed description

During the ADAPT project both sites will adapt the original Community Promise intervention to specifically address the HIV prevention needs of sero-positive, African American men who have sex with men (HIV+ AAMSM) in either Boston, MA or Minneapolis/St. Paul (MSP), MN. The adapted intervention will be referred to as Community PROMISE, Positives Leading and Utilizing Strategies (CP PLUS).

In the first two months of the ADAPT project, the Boston and MSP sites will conduct formative evaluation activities (i.e., a comprehensive literature review, focus groups, and individual interviews) to assess the needs of the target population and organizational capacities to serve them. Results will be used to inform the adaptation of the original intervention to ensure that CP PLUS meet the expressed needs of the target population.

Process data will also be collected from various sources throughout the life of the project. Process data will be collected through staff meetings, interviews with staff, focus groups with peer advocates, and an expert panel consultation. Process data will be extremely useful for ensuring program objectives are met, improving CP PLUS, and providing information for providers in other locales who may be interested in adapting this intervention to serve this target population.

The Boston and MSP sites will also conduct outcome monitoring through collection of data concerning risk behaviors pre- and post-intervention implementation (follow-up at 6-8 months post and 11-13 months post [Boston only]) to determine if the adapted intervention has met its outcome objectives. Outcome monitoring will also be conducted for the "parent" intervention at both sites for HIV- or unknown status men who have sex with men.

In addition to the project activities, the organization will be examining the utility of the CDC draft guidance. The Boston and MSP sites are two of five case studies throughout the United States that will detail the challenges, successes and lessons learned from adapting an intervention packaged by CDC's Replicating Effective Programs (REP) and disseminated by Diffusing Effective Behavioral Interventions (DEBI) to a specific population. These findings will help other community-based organizations and Health Departments effectively adapt and tailor group, individual and community-level interventions.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Community PROMISEBehavioural

    Also called AIDS Community Demonstration Project

    The Community PROMISE begins with a community assessment to identify HIV risk factors. Once risk factors have been identified, individuals from the targeted at-risk community are recruited and trained to be peer advocates. Trained peer advocates interview members of the community about their behavior. Role model stories are written based on the interviews. Role model stories are personal accounts from individuals in the target population which explain how and why they took steps to practice HIV risk-reduction behaviors and the positive effects the choice has had on their lives. Each week, peer advocates distribute role model stories and supplies, such as condoms, to 10 to 20 members of their social networks.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Sexual activities with main and casual partners in past 30 days to 6 months (i.e., unprotected insertive and receptive anal/vaginal sex and protected insertive and receptive anal/vaginal sex)

    Measured: 7/2006-2/2007

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Behavioral intentions and attitudes for condom use; disclosure of HIV status; self reported STD diagnosis; medication adherence; links to care.

    Measured: 7/2006-2/2007

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Community PROMISE in people with HIV Prevention and STD Prevention, run by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 13 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Apr 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Sexual activities with main and casual partners in past 30 days to 6 months (i.e., unprotected insertive and receptive anal/vaginal sex and protected insertive and receptive anal/vaginal sex) (time frame: 7/2006-2/2007). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Apr 2012.
