Clinical Trial 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 You℞ 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).


Clinical Trial 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 You℞ 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 You℞ 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 You℞ 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 You℞ 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. ;
