HIV SUCCESS — coordinating data on HIV and substance use
HIV and Substance Use Cohort Coordinating Center for Emerging and High Impact Scientific Cross Cohort Studies: HIV SUCCESS
This effort brings together data from people with HIV to learn how substance use affects their health and care.

What this research studies
This coordinating center combines and harmonizes data from multiple NIDA-funded cohorts of people with HIV across different sites. Experts will integrate clinical, substance use, and other health information so researchers can run larger, more detailed analyses than any single study can do. The center also helps with data standards, health informatics, and supports collaborations that bring in additional cohorts or studies as needed. By improving data sharing and coordination, the project aims to speed up answers to questions about substance use patterns, treatment impacts, and related health outcomes for people with HIV.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults living with HIV who use or have used substances and who are enrolled in or eligible for participating cohort studies.
Not a fit: People without HIV, people with HIV who are not affected by substance use, or those not enrolled in the participating cohorts are unlikely to directly benefit from this coordinating effort.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could identify better ways to tailor substance use treatment and HIV care for diverse groups of people with HIV.
How similar studies have performed: Other cross-cohort collaborations have produced useful insights about treatment and risk patterns, though harmonizing diverse datasets is challenging and this project expands on those efforts.
