Summary

This study is an extension of Reminding Adolescents to Adhere (RATA) (Unique protocol ID: 1R01HD074925-01). Participants for SATA will be recruited during the RATA month 24 exit survey.

Participants will be randomized 1:1:1 into either one of two intervention group (receiving the weekly messages and a chance to draw a prize at each clinic visit based on either a fixed adherence level of 90% or a self-chosen one of at least 80% as further detailed below) or the control group that receives the existing RATA intervention consisting of weekly motivational messages and the chance to get mobile airtime rewards conditional on responding. Doing so will allow the investigators to cleanly evaluate the impact of these additional adherence-based lotteries, and guarantees that those who have been in the control group receiving standard of care in the first 24 months of the RATA intervention will also receive an intervention for reasons of fairness.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Own Adherence Group

Participant chooses their adherence level to be reached at next clinic visit (at least 80%, but can be higher). If they reach that percentage measured using the MEMS cap, they can participate in a lottery for an airtime reward of none, a small amount, and a larger amount. Participants also receive a weekly motivational message reminding them of their incentive to adhere. If they respond to the message they will receive airtime top-up.

BEHAVIORAL

Fixed Adherence Group

Participant is told to meet a pre-determined target of 90%. If they reach that percentage measured using the MEMS cap, they can participate in a lottery for an airtime reward of none, a small amount, and a larger amount. Participants also receive a weekly motivational message reminding them of their incentive to adhere. If they respond to the message they will receive airtime top-up.
