BIG Chicago: A Trial of Basic Income Guarantee for Young People Living With HIV

RecruitingNA

Sponsor: University of Chicago

Conditions: HIV, Financial Stress

Interventions: Treatment As Usual, BIG + Treatment As Usual

Countries: United States

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two interventions - Basic Income Guarantee (BIG) + Treatment as Usual and Treatment as Usual among individuals living with HIV who have experienced financial hardships. The main question it aims to answer is: Compared with the Treatment as Usual group, will participants in the BIG + Treatment as Usual group be more likely to improve care engagement and viral suppression? Participants on the study will be: * Randomly assigned (like the flip of a coin) to participate in either BIG + Treatment as Usual or Treatment as Usual. Participants will have an equal chance of being placed in either group. * Complete 9 surveys over a 36 month period. * Complete a release of information so electronic medical record data can be accessed for the 18 months prior to treatment engagement and for 36 months from program enrollment. * Participants in the Treatment as Usual group will not receive any intervention. * HIV viral load testing will be confirmed at 3 timepoints (baseline, 12 months, and 18 months). * Participants in the BIG + Treatment as Usual group will receive $500 monthly income for 18 months. * Participants in the BIG + Treatment as Usual group will complete 3 social network surveys to assess how receiving BIG impacts their social networks. * A subset of participants in the BIG + Treatment as Usual group (30 participants) will complete 5 individual interviews over the course of receiving BIG and the 18 months after.
