What this research studies
You would be seen at participating clinics where researchers bring substance use treatment into regular health care and try approaches that link addiction care with HIV and other infectious disease services. The team runs randomized clinical trials and practical tests in real-world healthcare settings, working with both adolescents and adults and people who are hard to reach. They use electronic health records and data science, including AI tools, to personalize care and predict who may respond best to which treatments. The network also focuses on harm reduction, implementation methods, and keeping an eye on costs to make successful approaches easier to use in more places.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Adolescents and adults in Florida or Georgia with substance use problems, including those living with or at risk for HIV, who receive care at participating clinics are the ideal candidates.
Not a fit: People who live outside the participating states or who do not have substance use or related infectious disease concerns may not benefit directly from this program.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could make proven addiction and HIV-related care more widely available, better tailored to individuals, and reduce overdoses and infections.
How similar studies have performed: The NIDA Clinical Trials Network and prior Florida Node projects have a long track record of running clinical trials and integrating addiction care into healthcare, though newer elements like AI-driven personalization are more novel.
