Summary

Specific aims of the 1-year project are to pilot test the disclosure support intervention by (a) evaluating acceptability and feasibility with a preliminary randomized trial among 10 HIV+ mothers (5 in the intervention group and 5 in the treatment as usual (TAU) group) and (b) assessing outcomes in mothers (quality of life and mental health indicators, adherence, social support, and disclosure stress, efficacy, readiness, and completion). The intervention will be compared to treatment as usual, with baseline (0 weeks), immediate post-intervention (4 weeks), and 12-week follow-up (16 weeks) assessments.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

disclosure-support counseling intervention

The intervention will include three components: (a) assessment; (b) decision-making and support; and (c) disclosure, planning, and action. The individualized assessment comprehensively will consider the family's history, experiences with disclosure, communication skills, coping resources, and factors likely to affect disclosure (e.g., familial, psychological, social, cultural, and medical issues). The second component of decision-making and support focused on developing communication skills and strategies, with role-play and practice outside of the sessions as necessary. Costs and benefits of disclosure were considered along with the range of disclosure options. Materials, including a pros and cons chart of disclosure and a disclosure continuum worksheet, were used to stimulate discussions of possible plans and consequences. In the third component, parents were encouraged to formulate and practice a disclosure plan for later use.
