About this study

Purpose: To comprehensively explore the barriers and motivators for participation in HIV clinical trials in a purposive sample of HIV positive patients receiving care at the UNC ID (Infectious Diseases) clinic Participants: HIV positive patients seen at the UNC ID Clinic. Participants will be purposively sampled based on gender, race and previous participation in HIV clinical trials. Blacks and patients who have never participated in clinical trials will be oversampled.

Procedures (methods): Cross-sectional study using in-depth semi-structured qualitative interviews to determine the barriers and motivators for participation in HIV clinical trials. Patient interviews will be audiotaped, transcribed verbatim and analyzed using Atlas.ti software to understand the barriers and motivators for participation in HIV clinical trials.

Read the detailed description

Study Population: 48 HIV positive adult (at least 18 years of age) patients receiving care at the UNC ID Clinic will be enrolled in the study. Purposive sampling by race, gender and previous participation in HIV clinical trials will be used to ensure adequate representation in each category. Participation in a clinical trial will be defined as having participated in a trial of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) for duration of > 48 weeks. Non-trial participation will be defined as having been offered the opportunity to participate in a clinical trial but have never participated in any clinical trial or participated in a trial that included a one-time sample collection with no follow up visits.

STUDY METHODS

Questionnaire: The questionnaire consists of open-ended questions to be administered to participants. The questionnaire items were composed by reviewing related studies. Two versions of the questionnaire will be administered, one for participants with a history of participation in clinical trials and one for participants who were approached but have never been in a clinical trial (See Appendix 1.) The questionnaire will be revised after pre-testing to incorporate changes before it will be administered to all 48 participants.

Interview: The interview will be conducted at the UNC ID clinic by one research assistant. The interview will take approximately 45 minutes and will be audiotaped.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

Who may be eligible to take part?

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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.

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?

Reasons why people choose to or not to participate in HIV Clinical Trials based on questionnaire responses (time frame: Administered immediately following provision of informed consent). 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?
