NCT ID NCT03959826
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether offering chances to win prizes for completing job-search activities helps unemployed people with HIV/AIDS find work. 144 participants will be randomly assigned to either standard employment services or the same services plus prize-based rewards for 16 weeks. Researchers will track who gets a job and how many days they work over 18 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
behavioral intervention (job activity contracts and prize-based incentives)
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could help people with HIV/AIDS find jobs more quickly and work more consistently, improving their financial stability and quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage behavioral study with 144 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The intervention only lasts 16 weeks, and long-term employment effects are uncertain.
