Abstract
OBJECTIVE There is international interest in the integration of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) into routine HIV care, but little work has synthesized the content of published initiatives. We conducted a rapid scoping review primarily to identify their selected patient-reported outcomes and respective instruments. METHODS Four databases were searched on 4 May 2022 (Medline, Embase, CINAHL and PsychINFO) for relevant English language documents published from 2005 onwards. Dual review of at least 20% of records, full texts and data extraction was performed. Outcomes and instruments were classified with an adapted 14-domain taxonomy. Instruments with evidence of validation were described. RESULTS Of 13 062 records generated for review, we retained a final sample of 94 documents, referring to 60 distinct initiatives led mostly in the USA (n = 29; 48% of initiatives), Europe (n = 16; 27%) and Africa (n = 9; 15%). The measured patient-reported outcome domains were: mental health (n = 42; 70%), substance use (n = 23; 38%), self-management (n = 16; 27%), symptoms (n = 12; 20%), sexual/reproductive health (n = 12; 20%), physical health (n = 9; 15%), treatment (n= 8; 13%), cognition (n = 7; 12%), quality of life (n = 7; 12%), violence/abuse (n = 6; 10%), stigma (n = 6; 10%), socioeconomic issues (n = 5; 8%), social support (n = 3; 5%) and body/facial appearance (n = 1; 2%). Initiatives measured 2.6 outcome domains, on average (range = 1-11). In total, 62 distinct validated PROMs were identified, with 53 initiatives (88%) employing at least one (M = 2.2). Overwhelmingly, the most used instrument was any version of the Patient Health Questionnaire to measure symptoms of depression, employed by over a third (26; 43%) of initiatives. CONCLUSION Published PROM initiatives in HIV care have spanned 19 countries and disproportionately target mental health and substance use.

Hareskov Jensen N, Vallentin-Holbech L, Dash GF, Feldstein Ewing SW, Rømer Thomsen K. Validity of an online, self-administered Timeline Followback for alcohol use with adolescents. Front Psychiatry 2023; 14:1221487. [PMID: 38098631 PMCID: PMC10720705 DOI: 10.3389/fpsyt.2023.1221487] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2023] [Accepted: 11/13/2023] [Indexed: 12/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective The Timeline Followback (TLFB) is a widely used and well-validated interview-based tool for assessing patterns of recent health risk behavior. There is some evidence of the validity of the TLFB as a self-administered online tool for assessing alcohol use, but further research is needed to establish its validity in younger populations and populations outside the United States. Further, it is unknown how self-administered online TLFB formats compare to more timesaving and commonly used single-item alcohol questions. The primary aim of the current study was to validate a new online, self-administered TLFB for alcohol use against the TLFB interview in a sample of European (Danish) adolescents aged 16-18 years (N = 30). Methods Participants completed a TLFB telephone interview, a self-administered online version of the TLFB, and single-item alcohol questions. Assessments were administered using a within-subject, counter-balanced design. Estimates of number of drinking days, binge-drinking days, maximum drinks consumed on one occasion, total drinks, and drinks per drinking day were compared across metrics. Results All correlations between the drinking outcomes assessed via the TLFB interview and the TLFB online were positive, and statistically significant (rss = 0.86-0.94, p < 0.01). Wilcoxon signed-rank tests showed no significant differences between the TLFB interview and the TLFB online on drinking days, binge drinking days, max drinks, and total drinks. Participants reported drinking significantly more drinks per drinking day on the TLFB online (M = 4.66) compared to on the TLFB interview (M = 4.12; p = 0.009). Conclusion Overall, the results support the validity of the online, self-administered TLFB in a sample of European (Danish) adolescents.

Correlates of high phosphatidylethanol (PEth) levels and their concordance with self-reported heavy alcohol consumption among men who have sex with men who binge drink alcohol. Alcohol Clin Exp Res 2022; 46:1565-1579. [PMID: 35722862 PMCID: PMC10079307 DOI: 10.1111/acer.14891] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2022] [Revised: 04/27/2022] [Accepted: 06/14/2022] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Heavy alcohol use, including binge drinking, is associated with high morbidity and mortality among men who have sex with men (MSM). Self-reported alcohol measures may lead to inaccurate estimates due to recall and social desirability biases. Objective alcohol biomarkers like phosphatidylethanol (PEth) can be used to corroborate self-report and could help to inform treatment approaches and research strategies for alcohol using MSM. METHODS From 2015 to 2020, alcohol using MSM ≥18 years were enrolled in a randomized controlled trial evaluating the efficacy of naltrexone in reducing binge drinking. Using this trial's baseline data, we applied multivariable logistic regression to identify the correlates of high PEth levels (i.e., ≥87 ng/ml) and concordance between PEth levels and self-reported heavy drinking. RESULTS Of 118 MSM, 64% had PEth levels ≥87 ng/ml and 72% had PEth levels that were concordant with self-reported heavy alcohol use. Factors significantly associated in separate models with elevated PEth levels were income ≥$60,000 (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 4.09; 95% CI = 1.13 to 14.82), being employed (aOR = 4.04; 95% CI = 1.45 to 11.32), episodic cannabis use (aOR = 4.63; 95% CI = 1.27 to 16.92), and any alcohol/substance use prior to or during anal intercourse (aOR = 2.52; 95% CI = 1.08 to 5.90). Living with HIV was associated with significantly lower odds of elevated PEth levels (aOR = 0.23; 95% CI = 0.09 to 0.61). Factors associated with significantly higher concordance between PEth levels and self-reported heavy alcohol use included at least weekly use of poppers (aOR = 6.41; 95% CI = 1.27 to 32.28) and polysubstance use (aOR = 2.53; 95% CI = 1.02 to 6.27). Living with HIV was associated with lower odds of concordance (aOR = 0.36; 95% CI = 0.14 to 0.97). CONCLUSIONS PEth may enhance the detection of heavy drinking among MSM, including the identification of subpopulations that may benefit from targeted alcohol reduction interventions. However, PEth values for MSM living with HIV showed modest concordance with self-reported alcohol use and may need to be supplemented with additional biomarkers or evaluated against a different cutoff.

The Relationship Between Harmful Alcohol Use and Antiretroviral Non-adherence in People Accessing HIV Treatment in Cape Town, South Africa: An Event-Level Analysis. AIDS Behav 2022; 26:2055-2066. [PMID: 35022939 DOI: 10.1007/s10461-021-03552-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 12/02/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Harmful alcohol consumption can significantly compromise adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART). Prior research has identified aggregate relationships between alcohol use and ART non-adherence, largely relying on concurrent assessment of these domains. There is relatively limited evidence on more nuanced day-level associations between alcohol use and ART non-adherence, despite potentially important clinical implications. We recruited adults with HIV treatment adherence challenges and harmful alcohol use (n = 53) from HIV care in South Africa. We examined relationships between alcohol use and same and next day ART adherence, accounting for the role of weekends/holidays and participant demographics, including gender. Results demonstrated that ART adherence was significantly worse on weekend/holiday days. Next day adherence was significantly worse in the context of weekend alcohol use and among men. These results suggest the importance of tailoring intervention strategies to support ART adherence during weekend drinking and for men engaged in heavy episodic drinking.
