Tracking Implementation Outcomes of an Intensive Case Management Program for HIV: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study.
Article in JMIR research protocols, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundImplementation science investigates the processes and factors that influence the successful adoption, implementation, and sustainability of interventions in many settings. Although conventional research places significant emphasis on the advancement and effectiveness of interventions, it is equally imperative to comprehend their performance in practical, real-life situations. Through outcome tracking, implementation science enables researchers to investigate complex implementation dynamics and go beyond efficacy, identifying the various aspects that contribute to the success of interventions.
objectiveThis study aims to evaluate the implementation outcomes of TAIBU's intensive case management (ICM) model tailored for African, Caribbean, and Black communities living with HIV in the Greater Toronto Area. Specifically, it seeks to assess the fidelity, reach, and sustainability of the ICM program. Fidelity monitoring will ensure adherence to program protocols and consistency in service delivery, essential for achieving desired health outcomes. Reach assessment will examine the program's capacity to reach the target population, including demographic coverage and engagement levels among African, Caribbean, and Black individuals. Sustainability assessment will explore the determinants influencing the longevity and impact of the ICM program.
methodsThe study uses a mixed methods approach, where we will use probing questionnaires, interviews, and focus-group discussions to gather program performance and engagement data, in-depth insights, and perspectives from the implementation team responsible for delivering the ICM intervention. The collected fidelity and reach data through questionnaires will be analyzed using appropriate statistical techniques, such as descriptive statistics, to summarize the responses and identify patterns and trends within the data. Sustainability data collected through the interviews and focus groups will be analyzed and organized based on the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research, which provides an organized way to identify and comprehend the determinants influencing implementation outcomes.
resultsThe study commenced in January 2024, and initial data collection is expected to be completed by December 2024. As of September 2024, we have enrolled 5 participants.
conclusionsThis study will significantly contribute to improving the implementation of the ICM program. By conducting a study in an organizational or institutional setting, researchers can acquire valuable insights into the implementation process from those who are directly involved. The information gathered will inform strategies for improving implementation effectiveness; removing impediments; and enhancing the overall quality of the ICM program for African, Caribbean, and Black individuals living with HIV.
