Measure
INH and Vitamin B6
This was a single arm trial with a recruitment goal of 200 participants who reported current (prior 3 months) alcohol use, and 100 prior year abstinence from alcohol use. All participants were given 300 mg INH daily by mouth for 6 months, and 25 mg pyridoxine (vitamin B-6) daily by mouth for 6 months.

Cumulative Incidence of Participants Experiencing a Grade 3/4 Hepatotoxicity
8.3 percent
Interval 5.4 to 12.0

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Six month course (180 pills) of isoniazid (INH), which may be taken over a maximum of 9 months.

Lack of tolerability will be defined as any isoniazid (INH) treatment discontinuation prior to completion of the prescribed course (6 months of INH taken over a maximum period of 9 months) due to side effects or alanine transaminase (ALT)/aspartate transaminase (AST) elevations.

32 Participants

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Adherence will be measured over the 6 months on INH or until INH discontinuation (whichever is shorter)

Population: 279/301 participants completed at least 1 study visit at either 3 or 6 months while on INH and are included here. 275 participants were included at 3 months; 264 participants were included at 6 months.

Suboptimal INH adherence was defined as \<90% of days with at least 1 electronic medication management (EMM) pill cap opening in the previous 90 days, at 3- and 6-months.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Self-reported INH medication adherence via VAS will be measured 3- and 6- months after starting INH

Population: 290 unique participants are included here. 285 individuals are included at 3 months; 268 individuals are included at 6 months. Participants with missed visits or who were not taking INH (ie. due to either a temporary pause due to the COVID lockdown in Uganda, or because they were discontinued) were excluded.

Participants were asked "In the past 30 days, how many days in total have you not taken your pill?" and were presented with a visual analog scale (VAS) to indicate the percentage of INH taken in the past 30 days. We converted the VAS percentage into number of days out of 30 to match the first question. Our final self-report measure was the minimum number of the 2 self-reported measurements.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Self-reported INH medication adherence via SRSI will be measured 3- and 6- months after starting INH

Population: 280 unique participants are included here. 279 individuals are included at 3 months; 260 individuals are included at 6 months. Participants who reported no INH use in the prior 30 days were excluded.

The Self Rating Single Item (SRSI) adherence scale asks participants to rate their ability to take their medications as prescribed over the past 30 days. Participants reporting INH use in the prior 30 days at the 3- or 6-month interview are included here, and reported their INH adherence in the prior 30 days as excellent, very good, good, fair, poor, or very poor.

Timeframe: Measured at 3- and 6- months after INH initiation

Population: We had funding to analyze the first shipped batch of hair (n=161 total visits, representing 97 unique participants) for INH.

INH concentration in hair (pmol/mg) will be measured at 3- and 6- months during INH therapy.
