What this research studies
If you have HIV, you would meet with a pair of case managers who work together with you and your supports to connect you to economic and health services. The project will enroll 180 patients and follow them for 18 months, collecting surveys and checking medical records every six months. Researchers will compare outcomes for people who get the two-person team versus usual care and will also study how the program is delivered. The team will use implementation frameworks (CFIR and RE-AIM) to understand barriers, reach, and how to support staff and prevent burnout.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Adults with HIV who face barriers to staying in care or need help with economic stability and who receive care at or near University of Chicago-affiliated clinics are the likely candidates.
Not a fit: People without HIV or those already well-engaged in care and not needing extra economic or navigation support are unlikely to gain direct benefit from this program.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could help people with HIV get stable services, remain engaged in care, and improve health and prevention outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: Related case-management and dyadic social work approaches have shown promise in earlier work, but this randomized trial will determine their impact more rigorously.
