  • Mindfulness instruction for medication adherence among adolescents and young adults living with HIV

    Erica M S Sibinga, Erica Sibinga et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2022

    Adolescents and young adults (AYA) 13–24 years old make up a disproportionate 21% of new HIV diagnoses. Unfortunately, they are less likely to treat HIV effectively, with only 30% achieving viral suppression, limiting efforts to interrupt HIV transmission. Previous work with mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) has shown promise for improving treatment in AYA living with HIV (AYALH). This randomized controlled trial compared MBSR with genera…

  • Stepping up

    Patrick Ryscavage, Lauren Herbert et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2022

    Strategies are needed to optimize HIV health care transition (HCT). We describe HCT outcomes within the University of Maryland STEP Program, which is built upon integration of an adult HIV provider and navigator into the pediatric clinic, and coordinated collaboration between pediatric and adult HIV multi-disciplinary care teams. These outcomes were compared to a historical institutional HCT cohort (N = 50) which attempted transition in an earlie…

  • Linkage to and retention in care following healthcare transition from pediatric to adult HIV care

    Patrick Ryscavage, Thomas Macharia et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2016

    Outcomes following healthcare transition (HCT) from pediatric to adult HIV care are not well described. We sought to describe clinical outcomes following HCT within our institution among young adults with behavioral-acquired (N = 31) and perinatally-acquired (N = 19) HIV. We conducted a retrospective cohort study among HIV-infected adults who attempted transition from pediatric to adult HIV care within our institution. The primary end point was r…

  • Emotional and behavioral problems and mental health service utilization of youth living with HIV acquired perinatally or later in life

    Stephanie L Marhefka, Maureen E Lyon et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2009

    This study sought to examine predictors of psychological symptoms and psychiatric service receipt among youth with HIV. Data were from the baseline assessment of Adolescent Impact, a study of 13-21-year-old youth with HIV in three US cities. Between August 2003 and February 2005, participants completed the age-appropriate youth or adult self-report symptom checklists (Achenbach system of empirically based assessment) and reported their psychiatri…

  • Clinical assessment of medication adherence among HIV-infected children

    Stephanie L Marhefka, John Farley et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2004

    This paper presents findings of a multi-site study designed to document: (1) caregivers' regimen knowledge; (2) barriers to adherence; and (3) the relationships between adherence, regimen knowledge and barriers. Fifty-one predominantly female, African American parents and caregivers of HIV-infected children completed the Treatment Interview Protocol (TIP), a brief, structured interview designed to assess regimen knowledge and barriers to adherenc…
