What this research studies
As someone living with HIV, this project brings together research on drinking and HIV care to find what makes staying healthy harder. Researchers will collect and link data on alcohol use, clinic visits, medication adherence, and biological tests and use advanced analysis to spot important patterns. The Data Science Core provides study design, data management, and statistical support for three projects focused on young people living with HIV. The goal is to use those findings to develop combined behavioral and medical approaches that can lower alcohol-related harm and improve HIV outcomes.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates are young people living with HIV who drink alcohol or have concerns about alcohol use and who receive care at participating clinics.
Not a fit: People without HIV, those who do not drink alcohol, or individuals outside the participating sites are unlikely to directly benefit from this project.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could lead to new combined behavioral and biological treatments that reduce alcohol-related health problems and improve HIV treatment and prevention for young people.
How similar studies have performed: Prior studies show behavioral programs can help with alcohol use and HIV care engagement, but combining behavioral and biological strategies in this way is relatively new and still being tested.
