Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Adults living with HIV and other chronic conditions who could benefit from enhanced care navigation and health behavior support.
✕Less likely to help
Individuals not able to participate in a structured health-management program or without access to the health systems involved may see limited benefit.
What this research studies
This trial tests a patient-facing program called Project Active that uses shared decision-making, better access to helpful treatments, and support to navigate the health system. It will enroll adults across three sites, with an emphasis on people living with HIV, to see if the program improves chronic disease outcomes and estimated life expectancy. The approach is designed to be scalable and cost-effective, aiming to reduce midlife mortality by improving everyday health actions and system navigation. Participants will engage in goal setting, receive help accessing underused interventions, and get support for time and transportation barriers related to health activities.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants could experience better management of chronic conditions and a potential increase in healthy years of life.
How similar studies have gone: Prior evidence suggests similar personalized, system-navigating approaches can improve health outcomes and access to care in diverse populations.
