简要总结
Among HIV-infected individuals, non-injection drug use (NIDU) is associated with poor HIV medication adherence, greater HIV/AIDS risk behaviors, and increasing non-AIDS mortality. Thus reducing NIDU among HIV infected individuals is critical to their survival and to limiting the spread of HIV. We propose to study the efficacy of a technologically enhanced brief intervention (HealthCall) to reduce NIDU in HIV primary care patients that demands little from busy medical staff and is well accepted by patients. In a 3-arm randomized clinical trial will test the efficacy of (a) Motivational Interviewing (MI)+HealthCall; (b) MI-only; and (c) a control condition (advice + DVD HIV health education) in reducing NIDU.

入选标准
- •All research volunteers will be 18 and older and HIV positive. We will include participants whose primary drug is non-injection use of cocaine, opioids including heroin, or methamphetamines and current use in the past 30 days > 4 days. Participants will need to complete a medically supervised detoxification if such detoxification is required.
排除标准
- •Excluded are research volunteers for whom participation would not be clinically appropriate, who clearly could not participate. Psychotic, suicidal or homicidal patients require clinical management that is too intensive for this study, and we have no evidence that MI+HealthCall would be effective among injection drug users. Leaving New York precludes follow-up. Gross psychomotor/cognitive impairments that may hinder patients' HealthCall use. Hearing and severe vision impairments that preclude telephone use precludes randomization to MI+HealthCall.
研究组 & 干预措施
HealthCall +Motivational Interviewing
Patients access HealthCall by calling a toll-free number and putting a four-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN). The HealthCall system will then ask a short script of pre-recorded questions in English or Spanish, on substance use and other variables (e.g., medication adherence, unprotected sex, feeling of physical well-being, stress, etc). The MI session focuses on reduce ambivalence and increase motivation to reduce non-injection drug use (NIDU), gain a commitment to change, if possible, and ultimately to reduce or eliminate NIDU. The intervention includes: a) identifying pros and cons of using and stopping; b) exploring ambivalence about stopping NIDU; c) eliciting change talk
干预措施: HealthCall and Motivational Interviewing (Behavioral)
Motivational Interviewing (MI)
The MI session focuses on reduce ambivalence and increase motivation to reduce non-injection drug use (NIDU), gain a commitment to change, if possible, and ultimately to reduce or eliminate NIDU. The intervention includes: a) identifying pros and cons of using and stopping; b) exploring ambivalence about stopping NIDU; c) eliciting change talk
干预措施: Motivational Interviewing (MI) (Behavioral)
HIV/AIDS health education - DVD control
HIV/AIDS health education - DVD control. The purpose of this condition is to control for clinical attention associated with Motivational Interviewing (MI)participation, and to provide an analogue of standard care, i.e. brief advice but no other intervention.
干预措施: HIV/AIDS health education (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Total Number of Days of Primary Drug Used in the Prior 30 Days
时间窗: Assessed at end of treatment (60 days)
One primary study outcome was frequency of drug use, represented by the total number of days of primary drug used in the prior 30 days (NumDU) as derived from the Time Line Follow Back (TLFB).
Total Dollar Value of Primary Drug Used in the Prior 30 Days
时间窗: Assessed at end of treatment (60 days)
One primary study outcome was quantity of drug used in the prior 30 days, represented by the total dollar amount of primary drug used (QuantU) in the prior 30 days, as derived from the Time Line Follow Back (TLFB).
