HC-HMP: Healthy Choices Implementation Trial

Scaling Up Integrated Youth Alcohol and HIV Prevention Interventions: The Healthy Choices Implementation Trial

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 3 Nov 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This study is a national, fully virtual Type 3 hybrid implementation-effectiveness clinical trial using the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST) to evaluate implementation strategies designed to optimize delivery of the Healthy Choices (HC) behavioral intervention through the HealthMpowerment (HMP) digital health platform. A total of 360 emerging adults ages 18-29 who are eligible for antiretroviral therapy (ART) or pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and report recent alcohol use will be randomized using a factorial design to combinations of three implementation strategies: a personalized video introduction to an HC peer counselor, tailored digital messaging, and asynchronous support from an HC counselor. All participants receive HC-HMP. The primary implementation outcome is HC direct-to-consumer fidelity, measured by the number of HC counseling sessions completed. Secondary outcomes include HMP fidelity assessed using platform-generated paradata, alcohol use, and HIV transmission risk. Participants complete assessments at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months.
