What made the intervention work? Mediation analyses of HIV prevention interventions Ann O’Leary, Ph.D. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention Prevention Research Branch CS116055

HIV Risk Reduction Interventions Many behavioral interventions designed to reduce sexual risk behavior have been developed for various at-risk populations. Many behavioral interventions designed to reduce sexual risk behavior have been developed for various at-risk populations. These interventions, based on behavioral theory, contain many theoretically-derived activities representing different theoretical elements. These interventions, based on behavioral theory, contain many theoretically-derived activities representing different theoretical elements. For most of these interventions, we do not know which elements may have been responsible for intervention effectiveness. For most of these interventions, we do not know which elements may have been responsible for intervention effectiveness.

Elements of SCT and TPB Social Cognitive Theory -Self-efficacy to perform behavior (SE) -Expected outcomes of behavior (OEs) Theory of Planned behavior -Attitudes (expected outcomes and value of outcomes) -Norms (approval of behavior by close others and motivation to comply) -Perceived behavioral control (SE)

Examples of application of theory in HIV interventions Build skills and self-efficacy via modeling and practice, e.g. using condoms, negotiating use with partner Build skills and self-efficacy via modeling and practice, e.g. using condoms, negotiating use with partner Change expected outcome beliefs, e.g., that condoms reduce pleasure Change expected outcome beliefs, e.g., that condoms reduce pleasure Build peer norms/approval within groups Build peer norms/approval within groups

Most behavioral HIV interventions have multiple theoretical components Mediation analysis provides a way to identify effective and ineffective components Mediation analysis provides a way to identify effective and ineffective components Not as rigorous as randomizing people to receive individual components, but much more efficient!

May help to refine interventions to become more cost-effective by emphasizing mediator-based components with demonstrated importance for a particular population and de-emphasizing others May help to refine interventions to become more cost-effective by emphasizing mediator-based components with demonstrated importance for a particular population and de-emphasizing others

To conduct mediation analyses, your theoretical elements must: Be instantiated in the intervention Be instantiated in the intervention Be measured in evaluation assessments Be measured in evaluation assessments

Mediation analysis Uses measures of theoretical factors driving the intervention and assessed in study (potential mediators) Uses measures of theoretical factors driving the intervention and assessed in study (potential mediators) Identifies factors changed significantly by the intervention (step 1) Identifies factors changed significantly by the intervention (step 1) Tests whether inclusion of mediator attenuates strength of intervention effect on dependent variable (step 2) Tests whether inclusion of mediator attenuates strength of intervention effect on dependent variable (step 2)

Sister-to-Sister NINR-funded study conducted at a hospital in inner-city Newark NJ NINR-funded study conducted at a hospital in inner-city Newark NJ 564 African American women randomized to single-session intervention conditions: Skill- building, Information, Control 564 African American women randomized to single-session intervention conditions: Skill- building, Information, Control Follow-up for one year Follow-up for one year Skill intervention produced significant effects on behavior; STD incidence at 12 months Skill intervention produced significant effects on behavior; STD incidence at 12 months

Sister-to-Sister Potential Mediators -Condom knowledge Intervention: Provide factual information Assessment e.g.: The condom should be unrolled before it is put on. -Hedonistic condom OEs Intervention: Show ways to make condoms more pleasurable Assessment e.g.: Condoms interrupt the flow of sex. -Partner reaction OEs Intervention: Develop negotiation strategies specific to partner Assessment e.g.: My partner will be angry if I ask him to use a condom. -Partner approval OEs Intervention: Develop negotiation strategies specific to partner Assessment e.g.: Would your partner approve or disapprove of condom use?

Sister-to-Sister Potential Mediators (cont.) -SE for sexual impulse control Intervention: Encourage practice, e.g., to stop sex to get a condom Assessment, e.g.: I can say no to sex if my partner and I do not have a condom. -SE for carrying condoms Intervention: Give condom keychain. Assessment, e.g.: It is easy for me to have condoms with me. -SE for condom use Intervention: Modeling and practice of condom use; negotiation Assessment, e.g.: I am sure I could get my partner to use condoms, even if he does not want to.

-Condom knowledge -Hedonistic condom OEs -Partner reaction OEs -Partner approval OEs -SE for sexual impulse control -SE for carrying condoms -SE for condom use Intervention Mediators & NS factors Sex risk Mediators 3; 6 –month FU Sex risk Mediators 12-month FU Sex risk Mediators BL Assessment Randomization Comparison Nonspecific factors Sex risk Mediators 3; 6-month FU Sex risk Mediators 1 2-month FU Sister-to-Sister OE=outcome expectancySE=self-efficacy

South African Adolescent Health Promotion Project NIMH-funded study conducted in Mdantsane, Eastern Cape, SA NIMH-funded study conducted in Mdantsane, Eastern Cape, SA Cluster-randomized trial involving 9 matched pairs of schools Cluster-randomized trial involving 9 matched pairs of schools Participants were 1,057 6 th -grade learners (mean age = 12.4 yrs); schools randomized to six-session HIV Risk Reduction intervention or Health Promotion attention control Participants were 1,057 6 th -grade learners (mean age = 12.4 yrs); schools randomized to six-session HIV Risk Reduction intervention or Health Promotion attention control

Results of SA Adolescent Health Promotion Study Significant intervention effects were observed for: Vaginal intercourse in last 3 months Vaginal intercourse in last 3 months Unprotected sex in last 3 months Unprotected sex in last 3 months Multiple sex partners in last 3 months Multiple sex partners in last 3 months But NOT for virginity; consistent condom use

South African Adolescent Project Potential Mediators Abstinence prevention OE Intervention: Provide accurate information regarding HIV transmission Assessment, e.g.: If I have sex, I am likely to get AIDS. Abstinence career OE Intervention: Discuss outcomes of sex (pregnancy, AIDS) as barriers to career development Assessment, e.g.: If I do NOT have sex before I matriculate, I will be able to focus on getting a good job. Parental approval-sex Intervention: Discussions with parents as homework Assessment, e.g., My father would think it is okay for me to have sex in the next three months.

S A Adolescent Project Potential Mediators (cont.) Risk reduction knowledge Intervention: Provide accurate information Assessment e.g.: A person can have the AIDS virus and give it to other people even if the person does not look sick. SE abstinence Intervention: Practice sex refusal in role plays Assessment, e.g.: How sure are you that you could refuse to have sex with a person, even if you loved him?

S A Adolescent Project Potential Mediators (cont.) Cultural HIV myths Intervention: Provide accurate information Assessment, e.g.: People who are jealous of you can give you AIDS by putting a curse on you. SE avoid risky situations Intervention: Charting a safe course on a map with dangers lurking Assessment, e.g.: How sure are you that you could refuse a gift offered to you by a person that you thought might want to have sex with you?

Abstinence prevention OE Abstinence career OE Parental approval-sex Risk reduction knowledge SE abstinence SE avoid risky situations Cultural HIV myths Intervention Mediators & NS factors Sex risk Mediators 3; 6-month FU Sex risk Mediators 12-month FU Sex risk Mediators BL Assessment Randomization Comparison Nonspecific factors Sex risk Mediators 3; 6-month FU Sex risk Mediators 12-month FU OE=outcome expectancySE=self-efficacy South African Adolescent Health Promotion Project

Summary: SA Adolescent Health Promotion For young adolescents in South Africa, parental (dis)approval of sex is important— may be an effect of parental intervention component For young adolescents in South Africa, parental (dis)approval of sex is important— may be an effect of parental intervention component Self-efficacy for avoiding risky situations (e.g., where they may be offered goods in exchange for sex) seems to be more important than self-efficacy for abstinence generally—may be related to young age Self-efficacy for avoiding risky situations (e.g., where they may be offered goods in exchange for sex) seems to be more important than self-efficacy for abstinence generally—may be related to young age

Seropositive Urban Men’s Intervention Trial Outcome paper: Outcome paper: Woliltski, R. J., Gomez, C. A., Parsons, J. T., & the SUMIT study group (2005). Effects of a peer-led behavioral intervention to reduce HIV transmission and promote serostatus disclosure among HIV- seropositive gay and bisexual men. AIDS, 19, S99- S109. Mediation paper: Mediation paper: O’Leary, A., Hoff, C. C., Purcell, D. W., Gomez, C. A., Parsons, J. T., Hardnett, F., & Lyles, C. M. (2005). What happened in the SUMIT trial? Mediation and behavior change. AIDS, 19, S111- S121.

SUMIT CDC-funded randomized controlled trial conducted in New York City and San Francisco CDC-funded randomized controlled trial conducted in New York City and San Francisco Participants were 811 HIV-seropositive ethnically diverse gay and bisexual men Participants were 811 HIV-seropositive ethnically diverse gay and bisexual men Intervention was six group sessions; control was one educational session Intervention was six group sessions; control was one educational session

SUMIT Results Significant effect obtained for unprotected receptive anal sex Significant effect obtained for unprotected receptive anal sex No effect for unprotected insertive anal sex with negative or unknown serostatus partners (by far the highest transmission risk behavior) No effect for unprotected insertive anal sex with negative or unknown serostatus partners (by far the highest transmission risk behavior)

SUMIT Potential Mediators Patner HIV status assumptions Intervention: Show photographs of infected and uninfected men and guess status Assessment, e.g., I can usually tell if a guy is HIV positive without asking him. Perceived peer norms Intervention: Norms for safer sex expressed and shared during intervention Assessment, e.g.: How many of the HIV+ men you know (do the sexual behavior) with partners who are HIV-negative or whose status they do not know? Condom use SE Intervention: Provide practice in condom use Assessment, e.g., I can use a condom even if I’ve met someone I really want to like me.

SUMIT Potential Mediators (cont.) OEs Hedonistic condom OEs Intervention: Show ways to make condoms more pleasurable Assessment, e.g.: Condoms can make me lose my hard-on. Anxiety and depression Intervention: Provide information on mental health symptoms and referrals Assessment, e.g.: How often have you been bothered in the past week by feeling suddenly scared for no reason; feeling worthless. Personal responsibility Intervention: Stress the importance of refraining from transmission risk behaviors Assessment, e.g.: I feel responsible for protecting my partners from HIV. Self-evaluative OEs Intervention: Stress the importance of refraining from transmission risk behaviors Assessment, e.g.: I feel good about myself when I have safer sex.
