Peer Supported Collaborative Care Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Care

Description

This is a research study to assess the effectiveness of a peer-led collaborative care model for integrating treatment for substance use and or mental health disorders into HIV care settings. Depending on whether or not participants enroll in this study, participants will be assigned randomly (by chance, like drawing a number from a hat) to one of two groups. In group 1, participants would receive usual clinical care. In group 2, participants would work with a peer-case manager who would help support participants to engage in substance use or mental health disorder care. Regardless of the group participants are in, participants will fill out a survey when first enrolled in the study, and then again 12 months later.
