Официальное название
Developing and Pilot Testing Project Vuselela for ART and OST Engagement in Johannesburg, South Africa
Обзор
To develop an intervention that engages family members in supporting HIV and opioid substitution therapy treatment for those who inject drugs in South Africa, and then conduct a pilot study to understand feasibility and preliminary impact on outcomes.
Подробное описание
In response to increased injection drug use in Johannesburg, South Africa, and low ART and OST treatment retention rates, we will develop and pilot-test the intervention, Project Vuselela. The intervention is designed to engage family members in treatment support using a multi-session skill-building approach that is led by trained peer navigators. Both PLWHIDs and their family members will attend sessions to develop these skills and treatment action plans, facilitated by peer navigators. We will assess PLWHID and family acceptability of the intervention and preliminary impact on PLWHID ART and OST treatment adherence when compared to those in the current program as standard of care. The study will be conducted at Yeoville Clinic in Johannesburg, a setting with high rates of injection drug use and the only OST clinic in the city.
