BACKGROUND: The Adolescent Medicine Trials Network for HIV/AIDS Interventions (ATN) research program aims to defeat the rising HIV epidemic among adolescents and young adults in the United States. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to optimize cross-study analyses and comparisons of standardized measures (variables) collected in the ATN. METHODS: Guidelines were developed for harmonizing measures to be collected across ATN studies. RESULTS: Eight domains were identified for harmonization-Demographics and Socioeconomic Characteristics, Sexual Behavior and Risk, Substance Use and Abuse, HIV-Positive Cascade, HIV-Negative Cascade, Mental Health, Social Support and Isolation, and Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Cascade. CONCLUSIONS: The collection of selected key measures in a uniform manner across studies facilitates the characterization of participant populations, comparisons between studies, and pooled analysis of data from multiple studies.
背景:青少年艾滋病干预医学试验网络(ATN)研究项目旨在战胜美国青少年和青年中不断上升的艾滋病流行趋势。 目的:本研究旨在优化对ATN中收集的标准化测量指标(变量)进行跨研究分析和比较。 方法:制定了跨ATN研究统一收集测量指标的指南。 结果:确定了八个需统一的领域——人口统计学和社会经济特征、性行为与风险、物质使用与滥用、HIV阳性转介流程、HIV阴性转介流程、心理健康、社会支持与隔离以及暴露前预防转介流程。 结论:在各项研究中以统一方式收集选定的关键测量指标,有助于描述参与人群特征、进行研究间比较以及对多项研究的数据进行汇总分析。
