ABCSinHIV: Translating the ABCS Into HIV Care
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The overall objective of this project is to develop and rigorously test implementation strategies to address the gap in scientific knowledge of lower use of evidence-based interventions commonly referred to as the ABCS (aspirin, blood pressure control, cholesterol control, and smoking cessation)which contributes to the growing CVD morbidity and mortality among PLH.

Detailed Description
Our project has two major aims:
Aim 1: To assess the impact of the implementation of an evidence-based, multilevel strategy to reduce cardiovascular vascular disease (CVD) among PLH.
Aim 2: To assess the process of implementation of these strategies using RE-AIM QuEST. Using both quantitative and qualitative methods, we evaluate the process of implementation by assessing Reach, [Effectiveness addressed in Aim 1], Adoption, Implementation and Maintenance whilst integrating Qualitative Evaluation for Systematic Translation.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
No Intervention: Control CVD risk prior to the patient and clinician training |
|
Experimental: Training CVD risk after the patient and clinician training |
Behavioral: ABCS training
Clinicians and patients will be given information regarding the ABCS (Aspirin, Blood Pressure control,Cholesterol control, and Smoking Cessation) and for reducing CVD risk among HIV patients.
