CHRP-BB Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: CHRP-BBExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients assigned to the CHRP-BB will receive a weekly HIV risk reduction and PrEP adherence group level intervention led by two facilitators trained and supervised by the PI, a licensed clinical psychologist. It is a substantially shortened version of the comprehensive Holistic Health Recovery Program (HHRP)-based interventions that have been identified as demonstrating evidence of effectiveness in two randomized clinical trials. The CHRP-BB, which includes four 50-minute groups (1 group per week), will contain only content that relates explicitly to drug- or sex-related HIV risk reduction and PrEP adherence. Participants in both conditions will receive routine clinical services (i.e., daily methadone and case management).
Group II: Control ConditionActive Control1 Intervention
The time-and-attention-matched control condition for the proposed research will be a time and contact-matched, non-contaminating support group for individuals in recovery modeled after similar groups offered in the community. There will be no overlap between the content of the comparison intervention and experimental intervention although the basic structure will be the same. Thus, each participant will be asked to attend four 50-minute weekly group sessions led by two trained facilitators. Participants in both conditions will receive routine clinical services (i.e., daily methadone and case management).
