What this trial studies

This project tests a telehealth intervention delivered at syringe service programs to improve access to HIV-related evidence-based interventions for people who use drugs, including those who inject. The study will assess feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness in a real-world SSP setting. Participants are adults who use illicit substances and meet local criteria, with English proficiency and active health insurance, recruited at the University of Minnesota. The trial is conducted at a single site in Minneapolis, led by the University of Minnesota. No comparative treatment arm is described, and the phase is not specified as traditional clinical phase nomenclature.
