What this trial studies
This research evaluates a peer-led collaborative care model designed to integrate treatment for substance use and mental health disorders within HIV care settings. Participants will be randomly assigned to either receive standard clinical care or work with a peer-case manager who will assist them in engaging with substance use or mental health treatment. The effectiveness of this approach will be assessed through surveys administered at the start and again after 12 months. The study aims to improve patient outcomes by leveraging peer support in managing co-occurring conditions.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are individuals aged 18-99 who are accessing HIV care and have screened positive for a mental health or substance use disorder without currently receiving treatment.
Not a fit: Patients who are currently receiving treatment for mental health or substance use disorders may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance the quality of care and support for patients dealing with both HIV and mental health or substance use disorders.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in using peer support models for similar conditions, indicating potential for success in this approach.
