Actual (reported)Older people with HIV (OPH) often live with significant mental health challenges such as social isolation, loneliness, and depression. The objectives of this study are to develop and test the usability and feasibility of a technology-based psychosocial intervention program designed to: enhance social engagement and support; facilitate resource access and education; reduce loneliness; and improve well-being among older adults with HIV who are long-term survivors (diagnosed with HIV ≥ 20 years). The program, Connecting Older Positive People to Enhance Health and Resilience (COPPEhR), will build on Dr. Sara Czaja's PRISM (A Personal Reminder and Information Management System for Seniors) platform, and will be an easy-to-use software application (app), preloaded onto a standard device, designed to support social connectivity, memory, and access to resources for older adults at risk for isolation and the programs and services available at the Center for Special Studies (CSS) at Weill Cornell Medicine (WCM). This protocol covers Phase 2 of the study, which will be a pilot randomized controlled efficacy trial will compare the COPPEhR intervention to a device-only control condition. Participants in the control condition will receive the same device as those in the COPPEhR condition without the COPPEhR application. The specific aims of this developmental project are to evaluate the feasibility, usefulness, and usability of a state-of-the art technology-based multicomponent COPPEhR intervention for aging adults with HIV. Our hypothesis is the COPPEhR intervention will be feasible, usable and useful. The hypothesis is that those that use the COPPEhR app will experience less loneliness, less depression, and less social isolation and more social support, more resilience, and more connectivity than those that do not use the COPPEhR app.

Actual (reported)Mean Difference of Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease of Use Questionnaire
Utilizing a 12-item scale (Perceived Ease of Use Questionnaire) which includes two subscales (perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use) with Likert response scales ranging from 1 (Strongly disagree) - 7 (Strongly agree). The total score ranges from 12 - 84. The responses to the items are summed for each of the subscales. Higher scores indicate perceived ease of use of the COPPEhR program.
Post-randomization at month 3 and month 6
Mean Difference of System Evaluation Questionnaire
The COPPEhR system or device evaluation will be assessed by evaluating participants' perception of the features of the system. Utilizing an 11-item scale with Likert response scales ranging from 1 (Strongly disagree) - 5 (Strongly agree). The total score ranges from 11 - 55. Higher scores indicate higher degrees of satisfaction with the COPPEhR system, training, technical support.
Post-randomization at month 3 and month 6
Mean Difference in Score of reported depression, assessed using the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression (CES-D) Scale
Post-randomization at Baseline, month 3, and month 6
Change in Loneliness as Measured by UCLA Loneliness Scale
Post-randomization at Baseline, month 3, and month 6

Mean Difference in score of participants self-reported Resilience, assessed by BRS - Brief Resilience Scale
Post-randomization at Baseline, month 3, and month 6

The investigators plan for resource sharing is based on the National Institutes of Health/National Institute on Aging (NIH/NIA) Data Sharing Policy. The investigators plan, consistent with the NIH goals of data sharing, is to promote use of the rich COPPEhR database by the larger research community as this will further the impact of COPPEhR and expand possibilities for collaboration. It will also allow other researchers to expedite the translation of the research findings into knowledge, products, and procedures. Further, the plan is devised to make the data as widely and freely available as possible while at the same time safeguarding the privacy of participants and protecting confidential and proprietary data.
