Interventions

BEHAVIORALCC PrTNER

Participants randomized to CC PrTNER will be assigned a peer coach. They will conduct interviewer-administered behavioral surveys. The surveys provide an in-depth assessment of SU, HIV prevention and care, engagement, and adherence. Behavioral surveys are administered monthly. The coach will discuss with the participant the areas that are flagged by the psychiatrist; provide psychoeducation around areas identified, and work with the participant to identify their health goals and how changes in SU may help feed into self-defined goals. The coach will meet weekly with the consultant addiction psychiatrist who will make a provisional diagnosis and define a treatment plan with clear goals for treatment outcome. Recommendations will be communicated electronically to the HIV or PrEP provider to facilitate implementation. The coach utilizes MI skills to implement the individually tailored to facilitate the adoption and maintenance of health behaviors.
