Improving PrEP engagement among hospitalized people who use substances: a pilot study
NIDA - National Institute on Drug Abuse
About This Grant
ABSTRACT People who use substances (PWUS) are an HIV priority population. Substance use is a major driver of HIV transmission, increasing risk of infection while decreasing adherence to prevention tools such as condoms or pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). PWUS face multiple, intersecting barriers that limit access to and acceptability of PrEP, and thus PrEP uptake among PWUS remains alarmingly low. For many PWUS who do not regularly access care, acute hospitalizations represent “touchpoints” to engage them in treatment for substance use disorders and prevention of related risks such as HIV. Addiction consult services (ACS) – multidisciplinary clinical teams with expertise in addiction treatment – are effective at connecting PWUS to evidence-based addiction treatments and represent an obvious opportunity for engaging PWUS in PrEP. However, almost no studies have examined how ACS-driven PrEP could best be implemented to address the needs of both PWUS and the clinicians caring for them in the hospital. This application proposes formative research to identify key determinants of ACS-driven PrEP and to develop and preliminarily test a bundle of implementation strategies. Guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research, we will first identify key barriers and facilitators to ACS-driven PrEP through semi-structured interviews with twenty hospitalized PWUS and twenty future implementers of it (Aim 1). Using key tenets of Implementation Mapping, we will then lead a Taskforce of PWUS and key health system partners in developing a bundle of implementation strategies for ACS-driven PrEP with high potential for success (Aim 2). Finally, we will pilot test the bundle over 12 months to examine feasibility, acceptability, appropriateness, adoption, fidelity, and preliminary effectiveness (Aim 3). Findings from this study will inform the design of a subsequent R01 to fully test the effectiveness and implementation of ACS-driven PrEP. Ultimately, this work will advance our understanding of how to improve PrEP uptake and HIV transmission rates for PWUS.
