Supporting Adolescent Adherence in Vietnam (SAAV)

"Core intervention: 1) real time, personalized wireless reminder messages when ART doses are not taken on time, and 2) 'feedback' on adherence behavior via monthly interactive counseling sessions informed by summaries of their previous month's behavior. Personalized features of the intervention will be selected by each patient and may include 1) reminders sent to the WPC (light or chimes) or to patient's or caregiver's cell phone if dose is late; 2) content of text messages from a menu of options; 3) use of youth-friendly WPC adherence reports for interactive counseling sessions; 4) additional counseling by clinic staff; 5) a buddy system, by choosing someone to review the adherence report with him/her; and 6) a reward message after a pre-selected time period of excellent adherence."
