Construct validity of novel tablet-based neurocognitive tests (in the NeuroScreen app) measuring processing speed, working memory, and executive functioning in adolescents and young adults (AYA) living with perinatally-acquired HIV (PHIV) and perinatal HIV-exposure without infection (PHEU) was examined. Sixty-two AYA (33 PHIV, 29 PHEU) were recruited from an ongoing longitudinal study (CASAH) in New York City. Medium to large and statistically significant correlations were found between NeuroScreen and gold standard, paper-and-pencil tests of processing speed, working memory, and executive functioning. Results provide partial support for NeuroScreen as an alternative to cumbersome paper-and-pencil tests for assessing neurocognition among HIV-affected AYA.
新型基于平板电脑的神经认知测试(在 NeuroScreen 应用程序中)在患有围产期获得性 HIV(PHIV)和围产期 HIV 暴露但未感染(PHEU)的青少年和年轻成人(AYA)中测量处理速度、工作记忆和执行功能的结构效度进行了检验。从纽约市一项正在进行的纵向研究(CASAH)中招募了 62 名 AYA(33 名 PHIV,29 名 PHEU)。NeuroScreen 与处理速度、工作记忆和执行功能的金标准纸笔测试之间存在中等至较大且具有统计学意义的相关性。研究结果部分支持 NeuroScreen 作为一种替代繁琐的纸笔测试的方法,用于评估受 HIV 影响的 AYA 的神经认知功能。
