Recruiting now
Conditions studied: Delivery of Health Care, HIV Infections
In brief
This is an implementation study evaluating differentiated service delivery model for the care of comorbidities for people living with HIV (PLWH). The Hybrid Type 3 study design is adopted, with the primary goal of evaluating implementation outcomes, and secondary goals of evaluating service and client outcomes according to the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation and Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework, including Proctor's Conceptual Framework for Implementation Outcomes, using mixed methods for data collection and analyses. PLWH will be identified from the Integrated Treatment Centre, an HIV clinic in Hong Kong, which provides care to around 3500 PLWH, with services including out-patient care of patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, antiviral therapy for HIV and hepatitis co-infection, and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases. PLWH with comorbidities will be asked to participate in a survey for willingness to participate. Those interested will be co-managed at the HIV Comorbidities Clinic at the Prince of Wales Hospital, where the DSD model of care is conducted. Evaluation of implementation outcomes will be performed at the end of the programme.
