About
The purpose of this study is to examine how the consent process affects the acceptability of participation in biomedical HIV prevention trials, from the perspective of behaviorally high-risk minors and the parents of minor adolescents.
Full description
Potential participants will be recruited from clinical settings and HIV testing centers. If interested in participation, they will take a short Computer Assisted Self-Interview (CASI) screening survey to determine eligibility. Those eligible will take part in the one-day study visit at that time or will provide contact information to set up the study visit at a later date.
All study participants will attend a one-day study visit at their respective study site. Upon arrival, participants will complete a CASI that collects demographic, social, behavioral, and attitudinal measures. Next, participants will take part in a simulated consent process for two hypothetical trials modeled after ATN 113 and HPTN 077. Study procedures differ for adolescents and parents, so each group is described separately below:
Adolescent Participants: For each hypothetical trial, research staff will lead the participant through a simulated consent process consistent with their randomized consent condition. Then, the participant will complete a CASI assessing Willingness to Participate (WTP) and will work with research staff to complete the University of San Diego (UCSD) Brief Assessment of Capacity to Consent (UBACC).
Parent Participants: For each hypothetical trial, research staff will review the informed consent forms with the parent. The parent will complete a CASI with three vignettes that describe each of the three possible consent conditions. Parents will rate the acceptability of each vignette. Then, the participant will work with research staff to complete the UCSD Brief Assessment of Capacity to Consent (UBACC). Finally, the participant will answer a series of questions via CASI.
A subset of 6-8 adolescents and 6-8 parents per study site will complete a debriefing interview assessing adolescent and parent perspectives on the various consent conditions in greater depth, and to better understand the role of study features, family, and adolescent characteristics in willingness to participate/willingness to support the hypothetical research studies.
