Study Summary

This trial will help researchers understand if working with a peer-case manager helps people with HIV who also have substance use or mental health disorders better access and engage in care for those disorders.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-99 receiving HIV care who aren't currently treated for mental health or substance use disorders. They must speak English and have screened positive for these disorders at the Bartlett HIV clinic.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a peer-led collaborative care model versus usual clinical care to integrate treatment for substance use and mental health into HIV care settings. Participants are randomly assigned to one of the two groups.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves a non-medical intervention, traditional side effects like those seen with medications are not applicable. However, participants may experience emotional or psychological discomfort.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Collaborate Care (CC) ModelExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
For patients randomized to the CC arm, in addition to the provider being alerted to the positive Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder screener, the patient will also be assigned to a peer case manager (P-CM). The P-CM will provide longitudinal care for the patient as part of their care management case load. The collaborative care support team will include the P-CM, a consultant addiction psychiatrist and the patient's HIV provider who will implement a stepped care program consisting of: 1) an initial assessment, determination of and implementation of an individualized care plan to provide; 2) psychosocial and medication adherence support; 3) evidence-based brief intervention incorporating motivational interviewing informed strategies; 4) measurement-based care for Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder provided directly by the HIV primary care provider or in collaboration with specialty Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder services.
Group II: Usual Care (UC)Active Control1 Intervention
For patients randomized to the UC referral arm, the patient's HIV provider will receive an electronic alert of the patient's positive screen for a Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder. The patient will not be contacted by the P-CM. The provider, at their discretion, will initiate referral to the psychiatry service available onsite. For patients with Substance Use Disorder, providers refer to the in-clinic Substance Use Disorder treatment program that is managed by a nurse practitioner with Substance Use Disorder care experience. Once referred, the patient is seen by the nurse practitioner (separate from the HIV provider) who manages prescription of and assessment of adherence to buprenorphine, including monitoring of urine toxicology results with support from an addiction counselor. The Bartlett Clinic runs 2 substance use groups weekly and has processes for referral to a higher level of Substance Use Disorder care at offsite Substance Use Disorder treatment programs.
