PeerNaija: A Mobile Health Platform Incentivizing Medication Adherence Among Youth Living With HIV in Nigeria

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 25 Nov 2025

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The PEERNaija application will feature routine medication reminders, along with individual adherence monitoring with adherence scores, anonymized peer adherence scores (from peers attending the same clinic; social incentive), and a monthly lottery-based prize for youth with the highest adherence scores (financial incentive). The Investigators will recruit a cohort of 50 HIV-infected adolescents and young adults (AYA) to pilot the app and assess feasibility, acceptability, adoption, and preliminary efficacy of important clinical measures (including adherence and virologic suppression). The proposed study will provide important preliminary data for the role of mobile health (mHealth) platforms to harness and deliver social and financial incentives to promote adherence efforts, especially for vulnerable youth, and for a larger intervention trial evaluating this app among HIV-infected AYA in Nigeria.
