Primary Care-Based Interventions to Reduce Alcohol Use Among HIV Patients
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: HIV, Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, Alcoholism, Alcoholic Intoxication, Substance-Related Disorders
In brief
This randomized clinical trial uses a health plan's electronic medical record (EMR) alcohol screen; and examines innovative behavioral interventions, and their cost effectiveness, for hazardous drinking within a large HIV primary care clinic. We will compare Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Email Feedback (EF) to usual care; and evaluate the effect of the interventions on unhealthy drinking, comorbid drug use, enrollment in substance use treatment programs, and HIV outcomes including antiretroviral therapy adherence, HIV RNA control, and unsafe sex. Given the well-known adverse effects of unhealthy drinking on HIV care and outcomes, the proposed study has the potential to make a significant impact in the care of HIV patients.
