“…In CHW training, mentor mothers learn a label and practice using these skills, within the context of the program's goals. Level 2 refers to the common processes identified by Rotheram-Borus and colleagues 35 when rating the manuals of EBI addressing adolescent HIV. Every EBI functions to address five processes: (1) the program frames the issue (e.g., spending time with your baby is setting his/her well-being for life; this is one of the most important periods of your child's life);…”

Most low- and middle-income countries lack resources with which to implement public health programs. As such, there is a necessity to facilitate programing that judiciously makes use of what resources there are. However, despite evidence for the efficacy of many interventions, translating these into real-world effectiveness, and then into scalability, is complex and has often been neglected. We draw on a case study of Philani+ (a maternal and child health intervention implemented in South Africa) to distil eight features of health programing that aid intervention effectiveness. We argue that implementation science should turn its attention to the human resource "process" features of interventions. We describe the importance of staff selection (rigorous selection and hiring procedures); training (developing a set of common core pragmatic problem-solving skills); monitoring (feedback about quality); community and institutional support (rapport with intervention communities); the importance of stable leadership (consistent leadership focusing on how to optimize the potential of staff); the importance of implementing with sustainable, long-term change in mind; and, finally, we describe how cultivating consistency within an organization requires disciplined action and disciplined focus on the organization's vision.

“…The PW skills are evidence-based parenting skills, and perhaps the best way to tailor the skills to the unique situations that parents in RT experience are through coaching or group sessions (Becker et al, 2021 a). Group or coaching sessions may allow parents to discuss the challenges they are experiencing in real time and promote discussion on how to apply parenting skills (Chacko et al, 2009 ; Rotheram-Borus et al, 2018 ).…”

Web-Based Parent Training in Parents with Adolescents Admitted to Psychiatric Residential Treatment: A Mixed-Methods Study

2022

Despite intensive treatment, adolescents discharged from residential treatment (RT) often do not maintain treatment gains in the community. Providing support and education to caregivers through parent training may ameliorate the loss of treatment gains. Successful parent training programs have been delivered to this population; however, these interventions were delivered in-person, posing significant barriers affecting reach, access, and engagement. A convergent mixed methods design was used to assess the acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility of a web-based parent training in a sample of parents ( N = 20) with adolescents admitted to RT. Parents completed two interviews and an end-of-program survey. Parents completed at least 80% of the assigned modules and felt that PW was easy to use and that the features facilitated learning. Parents reported practicing the skills in their daily lives and found it beneficial to have a partner to practice with. Consistent with previous studies, parents perceived the delivery method as a strength because the web-based delivery circumvented multiple known barriers to in-person interventions. A large subset of parents related to the scenarios, while a small subset of parents felt the modules were challenging to relate to because of the severity of their adolescent’s mental health challenges. Overall, findings indicate that web-based parent training programs may be an acceptable, appropriate, and feasible adjuvant evidence-based support. However, tailoring the intervention content is necessary to create a more relatable intervention that captures the breadth and severity of mental health challenges adolescents in RT face.

“…Our coaching model uses paraprofessionals who have experience and skills in working with the population but do not have advanced degrees [ 97 ]. These community members have expertise in addressing the “predictable problems” [ 98 ] that these youth experience and will use evidence-based practices to intervene and address specific identified goals [ 97 ]. Coaches are also hired based on their interpersonal skills, ability to connect with YLH, and skills in implementing an evidence-based but nonmanualized intervention.…”

BackgroundAmong youth living with HIV (YLH) aged 12-24 years who have health care in the United States, only 30% to 40% are virally suppressed. YLH must achieve viral suppression in order to reduce the probability of infecting others as well as increasing the length and quality of their own life.ObjectiveThis randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy of an Enhanced Standard Care condition (n=110) compared to an Enhanced Stepped Care intervention condition (n=110) to increase viral suppression among YLH aged 12-24 years with established infection (not acutely infected).MethodsYLH (N=220) who are not virally suppressed will be identified at homeless shelters, health clinics, and gay-identified community-based organizations in Los Angeles, CA, and New Orleans, LA. Informed consent will be obtained from all participants. YLH will be randomly assigned to one of two study conditions: Enhanced Standard Care, which includes standard clinical care plus an automated messaging and monitoring intervention (AMMI), or an Enhanced Stepped Care, which includes three levels of intervention (AMMI, Peer Support via social media plus AMMI, or Coaching plus Peer Support and AMMI). The primary outcome is viral suppression of HIV, and YLH will be assessed at 4-month intervals for 24 months. For the Enhanced Stepped Care intervention group, those who do not achieve viral suppression (via blood draw, viral load<200 copies/mL) at any 4-month assessment will “step up” to the next level of intervention. Secondary outcomes will be retention in care, antiretroviral therapy adherence, alcohol use, substance use, sexual behavior, and mental health symptoms.ResultsRecruitment for this study began in June 2017 and is ongoing. We estimate data collection to be completed by the end of 2020.ConclusionsThis is the first known application of an Enhanced Stepped Care intervention model for YLH. By providing the lowest level of intervention needed to achieve viral suppression, this model has the potential to be a cost-effective method of helping YLH achieve viral suppression and improve their quality of life.Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov NCT03109431; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03109431International Registered Report Identifier (IRRID)DERR1-10.2196/10791
