Participant Flow

Participants were recruited from 6 clinical recruitment sites in Birmingham, AL; Chapel Hill and Charlotte, NC; Charleston, SC; Detroit, MI and Newark, NJ.

Enrollment and randomization to stage 1 interventions took place directly following confirmation of eligibility and completion of informed consent. All enrolled participants were randomized and assigned to a stage 1 intervention condition.

AQ HIV Medication Adherence App-delivered Intervention
Participants in this arm received the intervention approach starting with AQ for the first 3 months and remaining with AQ for months 4 - 6. AllyQuest HIV Medication Adherence app-delivered intervention: AQ provides daily ART reminders and calendar; weekly tailored message; monthly appointment and refill reminders; social support via daily chat wall; daily challenge featuring skills-building and articles; education center; narrative collections; in app "account" rewards daily use by adding or subtracting small financial reward dependent on daily app use; personalized profile and avatar. Participants have 24-hour access to all features of the AQ app.
AQ HIV Medication Adherence App-delivered Intervention + NSC
Participants in this arm received the intervention approach starting with AQ+NSC for the first 3 months and remaining with AQ+NSC for months 4 - 6. AllyQuest HIV Medication Adherence app-delivered intervention + NSC: In AQ+, participants receive all of AQ and have the added ability to text in the app with an adherence counselor, using Next Step Counseling (NSC). NSC is an interactive, client-centered motivational intervention to improve ART adherence. Key components of NSC include: review experiences with adherence, exploration of adherence facilitators and barriers, identification of adherence needs, identification of strategies to meet needs, and development of an adherence action plan. AQ+ includes unprompted check-in messages from the NSC counselor and scheduled in-app NSC sessions approximately every other week.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 180 days

Population: Per the pre-specified analysis plan, this outcome compares how effective each intervention sequence performed as measured by participants' daily use of the intervention app with the 4 sequences offering different intervention intensity variations.

The average proportion of days of any app use during the trial across all participants as recorded by the app backend para data. Total possible range: 0 - 1. Higher proportion indicates higher intervention feasibility.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 Months

Population: The protocol was amended to utilize a more precise scale for this measure (see outcome #4). The CSQ-8® was not administered and no data were collected using this tool.

The mean composite score calculated from the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8), an 8-item validated scale measuring the construct of global intervention satisfaction. Total possible composite score range: 8 (lowest acceptability, worst outcome) to 32 (highest acceptable, best outcome).

Outcome data not reported

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 Months

Population: Participants could choose to decline to answer some or all of the self-reported CASI responses to intervention acceptability measures. This analysis includes all participants who answered half or more (\>=11) of the 22 items on the AHAA scale.

The mean composite score is calculated from the Acceptability of Health Apps among Adolescents (AHAA) scale, a 22-item validated scale measuring the construct of global intervention acceptability. Item response options include: Strongly Disagree, Disagree, Agree, Strongly Agree. Scale items are grouped into 6 sub-scales. Responses to the items in each sub-scale are averaged and the sub-scale averages are added to obtain a total possible composite score ranging from 6 (lowest acceptability, worst outcome) to 24 (highest acceptable, best outcome). A score of 18 or higher is consistent with overall high acceptability.
