Descriptive Information

Brief Title The IMPROV Project: Improving Mental Health and Substance Use Treatment Provision (IMPROV) Among People Living With HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) in Atlanta
Official Title Improving the Integration of Mental Health and Substance Use Treatment Into Ryan White-Funded Care Sites in Atlanta Using an Implementation Science Approach
Brief Summary This project consists of a pilot trial to assess the preliminary impact of a stigma-reduction training to reduce clinic-level stigma and the YouRx Decision prescribing platform to increase HIV care providers’ self-efficacy related to prescribing psychiatric medication for depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and bipolar disorder as well as naltrexone for alcohol use disorder (AUD).
Detailed Description The study will pilot test a two-level strategy to improve integration of pharmacotherapy for serious mental health and alcohol use disorders among people living with HIV (PLHIV) in Ryan White-funded healthcare centers in Atlanta, Georgia. A small pilot trial will be conducted in the two clinic study sites to assess the acceptability, feasibility, adoption, and preliminary impact of a stigma-reduction training and the YouRx Decision prescribing platform. The researchers will fulfill the purpose of this study through the following aims: Aim 1: To conduct formative activities with PLHIV, HIV care providers, and our Community Collaborative Board (CCB) to adapt a stigma-reduction training to address mental health and substance abuse-related stigma among clinic staff and engage HIV care providers and an expert panel to develop the YouRx Decision prescribing platform to support HIV care providers to offer pharmacotherapy to treat depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and AUD (completed). Aim 2: To assess the acceptability of the stigma-reduction training among clinic staff and the feasibility, acceptability, and adoption of the YouRx Decision prescribing platform during clinical encounters among providers in HIV care settings. Aim 3: To use idiographic methods to conduct a pilot trial to assess the preliminary impact of the stigma-reduction training on clinic-level stigma and of the YouRx Decision prescribing platform on HIV care providers’ self-efficacy to prescribe psychiatric medications and naltrexone as well as the impact of the stigma-reduction training and platform to increase the percentage of eligible patients who receive and accept prescriptions to treat depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and AUD. This implementation science study aims to reduce HIV-associated comorbidities by improving the integration of mental health and AUD treatment into Ryan White-funded care sites. If the findings indicate that the stigma-reduction training and prescribing platform are feasible, this study will be the impetus for the scale up these strategies to additional Ryan White-funded care sites in Georgia.
Study Type Interventional
Study Phase Not Applicable
Study Design Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Primary Purpose: Health Services Research
Masking: None (Open Label)
Intervention Model Description: This study will include two levels of randomization: clinic level and provider level. We will randomize the two clinic study sites into one of two study conditions. One clinic will be randomized to the stigma-reduction training arm, and one clinic will be randomized to the no stigma-reduction training arm (but will receive the training at the end of the study). At the provider level, we will use a multiple baseline design that is fundamental to idiographic approaches. All providers will receive the YouRx Decision prescribing platform. Providers will be randomized to one of four intervention schedules: (a) 1-week baseline + 11-week intervention, (b) 2-week baseline + 10-week intervention, © 3-week baseline + 9-week intervention, and (d) 4-week baseline + 8-week intervention. Randomization will be stratified by clinic. Two providers (one from each site) will be randomized to each intervention schedule (for a total of 8 providers).

Implementation Science
Intervention •Behavioral: Modified Health Policy Project (HPP) HIV-Stigma and Discrimination Reduction Training Curriculum
The Health Policy Project (HPP) training curriculum provides participatory training modules that address three key actionable drivers of HIV-stigma. The HPP curriculum was adapted through participatory workshops with the study’s community collaborative board, including representatives from the HIV care and advocacy communities as well as community members. The training is a whole-site training to address stigma as a barrier to accessing substance use and mental health services by persons living with HIV. Consequently, staff at all levels (clinical and nonclinical) will be trained on stigma and discrimination as it relates to persons living with HIV in order to reduce stigma-related barriers to mental health and substance use healthcare in Positive Impact Health Centers and increase retention in healthcare services for persons living with HIV.
•Device: YouRx Decision prescribing platform
The YouRx Decision prescribing platform is a mobile application that serves as a reference to quickly inform providers about the medications recommended for serious mental health disorders and naltrexone to treat AUD; the appropriate dosing regimen; and potential contraindications or interactions related to antiretroviral therapy medications or other psychiatric medication. Information for the platform is adapted from the Department of Veteran Affairs’ Manual for HIV Care in Primary Care settings.
