Goals for Adherence with Low-cost Incentives (GOALS): a protocol for a randomized controlled trial evaluating the impact of small airtime incentives on ART adherence among young people living with HIV in Kampala, Uganda
In this study, we investigate the effectiveness of alternative approaches to target-setting for incentive eligibility using subgoals (i.e., individual-specific, interim targets leading up to the optimal target).Methods / designWe will enroll 628 HIV-positive youth between ages 15 and 30 into a 3-year randomized controlled trial. Participants will be randomized 1:1:1:1 to a control arm or one of three intervention arms (n = 157 each) that allow them to enter a prize drawing for small incentives if their ART adherence meets the given goal. In the first arm (T1, assigned subgoal), goals will be externally assigned and ada...

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure plus Mandibular Advancement Therapy (PAPMAT): study protocol for an adaptive randomised crossover trial comparing the benefits and costs of combining two established treatments for obstructive sleep apnoea
DiscussionIf the intervention is shown to be effective and cost-effective in improving adherence in this standard CPAP-eligible OSA patient population it would be relatively straightforward to introduce into existing OSA treatment pathways, within the wider NHS and more widely. Both MAD and CPAP are already used by sleep services so their combination would require only minor adjustments to existing clinical pathways. It would be straightforward to disseminate the results of the study through regional, national, and international respiratory meetings. The health economics analysis would provide cost-effectiveness data to in...
